I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 20, 1998:
What is the entity, Jesus, doing now, and how can we benefit in our devotional lives from his teachings?
(Carla channeling)
We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator whose servants we are. As the shadows lengthen on your winter’s afternoon we extend our gratitude and our blessing to you who sit quietly in a circle of working humbly asking for truth, for hope, for resources and tools with which to carry on the seeking of the mystery of love and of deity. We thank you and we bless you, and we give thanks for you. For it is that stubborn and persistent seeker that lights the way for those who follow, that plants the seeds that others shall gather. It does not seem to each who sits in this circle that there is anything out of the ordinary in each life, and yet each has been as a beacon to others in ways that each cannot possibly know. We, too, hope that we may learn and grow as persistently as this group, and we hope that we may share from our experience the opinions and concepts that have been helpful to us. As always, however, we ask that each who hears these words respond only to those ideas that delight and find a home within. Any thoughts that we may offer that may seem disharmonious to you, we would ask that you leave behind, for we do not wish to create problems for you. We only wish to share our thoughts and to share the energy of meditation that blesses us as we hope our presence blesses you.
You have asked this day concerning the entity known to you as Jesus of Nazareth, what he is doing now and what this entity may continue to symbolize and suggest to those who seek the truth. At this level of contact, that is, the light trance of what this instrument calls conscious channeling, we do not wish to attempt to indicate, using this instrument, precisely what planetary sphere or what precise work this particular entity is now doing. We would, however, express our feeling that this entity was one of a social memory complex that was at a stage of graduation to fifth density. This entity and the social memory complex of which It was a part had in common a full consciousness of Love and compassion. A Love that creates. A Love that destroys. A Love that transforms. A Love that is all that there is. This Love was not informed or balanced with wisdom. This state of Love of this social memory complex thusly was, if not absolutely perfect, at a very high level of near perfection. And as such, this group was exquisitely poised at the appropriate nexus when the opportunity came for incarnation using Christ consciousness within the Earth plane in third density.
This social memory complex is now, and has been for some of your time, studying the ways of wisdom and progressing in fifth density. However, the state of consciousness of Jesus the Christ and that social memory complex is alive and well within your inner planes where many teachers who have experienced this state of consciousness await the work of what this instrument would call the Holy Spirit. Thusly, the Earth plane has never been without Christ, nor shall it ever be without Christ. For as the Christ came into incarnation It was perhaps, in some part, a personality, but so filled with the Holy Spirit, the identity of self with what the one known as Jesus called the Father, that there was not sufficient personality clinging to this Christed being for him to retain a personality shell after the departure of this entity from the inner planes of your Earth.
Thusly, without taking anything away from the accomplishment of the individual who carried Christ’s consciousness within the Earth plane we may say that that energy that you know of as Jesus is not owned by an individual, nor was it owned by an individual while that individual was in incarnation. Rather, the one known as Jesus always and persistently stated, “When you hear me, you do not hear me but my Father.” This entity found itself completely lost to Its Earthly personality experiencing the glory of oneness with the Creator, with the creation of nature with the world around It and with each and every seemingly imperfect human being that seemingly presented itself to this entity. This Christed quality of Love is so much a redeemer and a savior of third-density awareness and of fourth-density work that we find it extremely easy to state that Jesus is Lord, as this instrument requires us to do before we may speak. We are not at that time celebrating the individual but stating the Lordship that this individual carried as its identity, eschewing and forgoing the normal ramifications of the ego-driven personality.
Perhaps you may see, then, that each of you has the potential to begin to learn how to carry the consciousness of Christ within the self. For you see, as you consider yourself it is crucial what angle you view the self from. In the eyes of your culture, you are taught to view the self within the nexus of the social arrangement that enables society to live peaceably together. The self then is seen as personality, with characteristics of the personality, with a certain kind of mental ability, with certain culturally conditioned and educated biases, with certain physical work that is done, with certain hobbies and interests and the whole gamut of human identity.
However, each who has awakened spiritually knows well that that is only the surface of self and all of society and its biases, that all of the social arrangements, economic plans and schemes for attaining and maintaining comfort and health and happiness do not identify the self or exhaust its beingness. As spiritual seekers move more and more into consideration of the self as a spiritual being there grows an awareness that the self within is not even a person, that the personality is truly a shell but that what it holds is infinite. There is no bottom to the roots of consciousness. The roots move into infinity. There is no limitation upon the self, the “I” that lives within, and that is one key that the one known as Jesus of Nazareth offers: the redefinition of self, that movement from the “I” of the personality to the “I” of “When you hear me speak, you hear not me but the Father who sent me.” For each of us was sent into this illusion. Each of us, indeed, has sent itself into the illusion to serve as the lighthouse for the source of Light moving into the Earth plane. It is not that the “I” of self has the fuel to burn an infinite Light eternally. Rather, the spiritually awakened self becomes more and more aware that the “I” that is truly the self is simply moving through the vehicle of personality in infinite energy. What the “I” of personality may do to express the true “I-ness” of the Creator within is to allow and bless the energy that moves through the being. For each of you is as a receiver and a sender of energy. Each of you receives infinite Light and Love in a steady and continual basis, both from the Earth energy itself moving up through the vehicle and from those sources of inspiration which each calls to herself from time to time that move down into the self from above.
All of this energy can be held, or it can be allowed to flow. And each serves by allowing that energy to flow through with as little distortion as possible. And not simply allowing but blessing it on its way. Each has outer gifts, and these gifts are there for each to share. However, the one known as Jesus is that perfect example of one who laid all gifts before the Creator and simply said, “What is your will for me?”
The group question for this session was: “What is the entity, Jesus, doing now, and how can we benefit in our devotional lives from his teachings?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they could not speak precisely about what Jesus was doing now because they were not utilizing the trance state, but they did say that He was part of a social memory complex that was completing the fourth density of love, and that their expression of the Love of the Creator approached perfection. Q’uo went on to say that the Love of Jesus was available in the form of the Holy Spirit within the Earth planes, and Jesus’s social memory complex was now studying the ways of wisdom. They said that Christ Consciousness is always present within the third density although it is not His own because Jesus said that “When you hear me, you do not hear me but my Father.” Q’uo went on to say that Jesus had so completely become one with the Creator that He could see the Creator in everyone and all things around Him, so Q’uo said that even though we are culturally conditioned to see ourselves defined by certain physical work that we do, with certain hobbies and interests of human identity, we still have the opportunity to see ourselves as having the consciousness of Christ within us. Then Q’uo said as we become awakened to our nature as a spiritual being we see that the roots of our consciousness are infinite, and we have incarnated into this illusion to serve as a lighthouse for the source of Light energy moving into the Earth plane. They went on to say that we should allow and bless this Love and Light energy that moves through our being, and that we could do as Jesus did and lay our gifts before the Creator and ask: “What is Thy will for me.” On November 12, 2006, Q’uo explained how we could function as a lighthouse for Love and Light:
We would encourage you to see yourself as a lighthouse. The lighthouse lights its lamp and keeps its windows transparent. It gives to that lamp the power to turn in endless circles, so that those coming in from the open water may see the rocks and avoid them and come to a safe harbor. A spiritual lighthouse has its own kind of light, and when you become aware of the power of your beingness, you may, if you wish, consciously become that kind of lighthouse that radiates Love and Light into the spiritual space around you.
At this time where the world experiences the shortest of days and the longest of nights, at your Christmastide, your light festival, know that the baby that lies within the manger in the story in your Bible is alive and lying in the manger in your heart. Know that that consciousness of Christ that the one known as Jesus carried is carried by others as well. That there are always Christs within your inner planes, those who dwell in that state of consciousness that is so fruitful and helpful for those within the Earth planes, but know most of all that the savior and redeemer of the world lies within the single unified heart. For each of you has in perfect accomplishment the awareness and the ability to be Christed. And as destiny rules, each of you shall be given your times to express perfect Love.
This instrument asks us, mentally, and we repeat it that we may answer for each of you, “How can you say that Jesus is Lord if you say that Jesus can be replaced with another of the same consciousness?” and we say to you that it is our experience that selfhood is far less personal than it seems within third density. It is a matter of breadth of experience, of seeing into the illusion which within your incarnational experiences is such a perfect and complete illusion. Jesus, indeed, is Lord. Christ, indeed, is the highest and most pure and perfect Love, that Love that destroys only to transform, that kills only to raise and move onward. Wherever we see the Christ within incarnation that consciousness held by that entity is Lord. One recognizes it as one would recognize an oak tree or a brand of food in your marketplace. It is distinctive. It is perfect of its own kind. And it is a deeply impersonal, infinitely true consciousness in metaphysical location of quality and essence that transcends personality and reidentifies the individual as Love.
This state of consciousness lies within your awareness even in incarnation, in potentiation, and the thirst for that state of consciousness draws you onward. May we say to you, value and treasure that thirst and follow it faithfully, for it is a true thirst, a thirst that will still be there a hundred millennia from now, only more intense, more single-minded, because you will have found out more, experienced more, been more within the changing and shifting illusions of space/time.
We do not want to turn our backs upon history. We are aware that it is important to this instrument and to others whether the one known as Jesus the Christ was an historical figure. Indeed, this entity did exist and did express as Christ. There have been others who have expressed this consciousness within your Earth plane but certainly less distorted in expression of this gift than the one known as Jesus. We see and believe in the Christ in each of you and in ourselves. Indeed, we have been at that state of consciousness and have shared in expressing Christhood in our service as you shall do in your turn. Beyond all considerations of time, and place, and history, however, there lies a level of truth that goes quite beyond the personal and moves into essences and qualities of consciousness that open doors within the deep mind and create the possibility for further spiritual evolution.
We wish you Light and Love on that journey that each of you takes as each pursues the questions of identity and ambition. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my service? Whither do I go? These are the questions that stir life and aid in acceleration of evolution. Move ever deeper into questions of who you really are, what service you truly came to offer. Know that these potentials for transformation and evolution are real, and know that we do not find any consideration more interesting than the pursuit of self into the deeper mind and beyond the local personality shell with which you have equipped yourselves in order to experience this illusion. Know that you are redeemed, loved, cherished and treasured by the Christ that was Jesus, by Christ consciousness wherever it is, and by us. Know that you are part of a great Self, and that as you pursue your selfhood you also pursue the selfhood of the creation and the Creator.
Now Q’uo said that the consciousness of Christ is within all of our hearts, that each of us has the ability to be Christed, and it is our destiny to express perfect Love. They went on to say that we can see the Christ consciousness as an infinitely true consciousness that transcends personality, and it has the potential to redefine us as Love. Q’uo went on to say that this state of consciousness lies in potentiation within our awareness in our current incarnation, and our continuing desire to experience it will draw us forward on our spiritual journey for many thousands of years. Then Q’uo said that Jesus Christ did exist as an historical figure that expressed Christ consciousness more purely than others who have expressed this level of consciousness. Then they said that they had also been able to express this level of Christ consciousness, and they felt certain that at some point in our future we would also experience: “a level of truth that goes quite beyond the personal and moves into essences and qualities of consciousness that open doors within the deep mind and creates the possibility for further spiritual evolution.” Q’uo encouraged us to move into questions of who we are, what our service is, and to know that the potential for transformation and evolution are real as we move beyond our personality shell into our deeper mind. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we are loved and redeemed by the Christ that was Jesus, and as we pursue our selfhood, we also pursue the selfhood of the creation and of the Creator. On September 5, 2005, Q’uo said that our selfhood was part of the Creator:
Lastly, before we open this session to further questions, we would like to take a look at what gold you contain and what treasure you have within you. As we said at the beginning of this conversation, the ore within you or the self within you that you brought into incarnation is huge, much greater than can be imagined in terms of a personality or a human selfhood. You, and all sparks of the Creator, are a portion of the one infinite Creator.
You are a Creator, furthermore, who, though very imperfect in its realization of itself as Creator, has hands and a voice with which you can reach out and make a change in the environment and in which you speak up and express truth as you see it in this environment of mirrors and illusions that is consensus reality. You can be, therefore, the hands and the voice of the one infinite Creator.
The gold that is in you is your deepest self and as you have moved through many transformations in your life already, you have perhaps noticed that as things fall away from you and as you mature, you have become less and less a creature of personality and more and more a creature of the open heart, a creature whose selfhood is not bounded by what she does, what she wears, and where she goes, but who she is.
We would finish this transmission through the instrument known as Jim. We thank this instrument and would leave it in love and in light. We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo.
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and greet you once again in love and in light through this instrument. It has been our great privilege to speak on this topic this day, and we would offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further queries which those present might have for us at this time. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: Are you suggesting that each of us will at some point be given the opportunity to incarnate as a Christ?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Though this possibility is also one which is viable, the more likely opportunity is that of moving as does the Christ move within your own incarnation. For at some point in your experience of the third-density illusion, there is the illumination of the mind/body/spirit complex through its own efforts that is signified by the moving into the, shall we say, office of the Christ, the position of the entity which is fully enlightened as to the third-density experience.
Is there a further query, my sister?
Carla: Not just now. Thank you. I’ll think about that.
I am Q’uo. We thank you once again, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
J: Can you tell us what was the pre-incarnative plan of the one known as Paul in the lifetime shortly following Jesus’ death?
I am Q’uo, and though we believe that we understand your query, my sister, we are unable to respond to it in the manner in which you had hoped due to our inability to utilize this instrument or this contact in the level of trance, as you would call it, that would be necessary to retrieve this information. Thus, we are unable to respond in a manner other than suggesting that each entity incarnates with the desire to be of service and to utilize the life experience as a means of glorifying the one Creator.
Is there any further query, my sister?
J: No. Thanks.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: I was thinking about Christ consciousness, and I thought about a guy that saved a lot of people and lost his own life in so doing. I thought that was a very Christ-like impulse. Do such people move into this Christ consciousness in so doing, or is Christ consciousness simply a state of mind that is Christhood?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As you have described, there is a variety of ways in which an entity may move into a situation of that of a Christ; that is, one who would give his or her life for another. Your allusion provides numerous ways in which this may be done, either as a product of an attitude, as you have surmised, or as the product of the opportunity being presented in an instant and accepted in an instant. In either case, there is the, shall we say, previous decision made by the entity previous to incarnation, perhaps in agreement with the higher self, so that this entity shall be given the opportunity to—“prove its mettle” is the phrase we give this instrument—to be put to the test so that what has been learned previously, as you would measure the experience of time, can be offered as the foundation upon which shall be built the Christed consciousness that is the culmination of the experience in this third-density illusion.
In many instances the entity itself is not consciously aware that this is the process in which it partakes. But this is also a part of the nature of the third-density illusion in that there is a great deal more beneath the surface of events, as you would say, than appears at first glance. For each entity and each entity’s experience is layered with vibrations of experience or meaning, each of which is able to add to the total experience so that an entity may become a participant in the event which you described and be moving into that position of the Christ in consciousness by the actions in which its own life is offered in favor of others. When the entity passes through those doors which you have described as larger life or death, the entity then has the remembrance of that which it was to attempt returned to it and is at that moment illuminated in the manner in which the consciousness is placed in the Christed being, shall we say.
Is there a further query, my sister?
Carla: No. Thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we are very honored to have been asked to join your circle at this time. We would again like to suggest that you take only that which we say that rings of truth to you, leaving behind all others. We offer our opinions and thoughts to you as freely as is given the breath of life, the energy of the one Creator, the light of the sun, as a blessing. We are hopeful that each will find some value therein.
At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.
This morning I changed out the sheets and pillow cases on my bed. I took off the green sheets as soon as I got out of bed and put them in the clothes washer. Then I had breakfast and took care of the cats. Then I put the green sheets in the dryer and had my second meditation. Then I put the blue sheets on the bed and used a wet dust mop to clean under the bed. Then I went downstairs and ironed the three pillow cases and the green flat sheet.
This afternoon I decided to stay inside and work on my Camelot Journal entries for the next few days, and I also began reading The Crucifixion of Esmerelda Sweetwater that Don and Carla wrote in 1968 when they first got together. I made an audio book for this book a few years ago, and I was asked to let the editors of the audio book know when each character in this novel first appears since I used a different voice for each character, and they said that would“ make it easier for us to not only identify locations in the text where characters first appear, but it will also help us identify the full cast of characters.”
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
October 31
Rest Not Your Staff
I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ, the principle of Love which speaks to the world today.
Welcome to a morning of the creation of the Father! Welcome to the path of the pilgrim! Allow yourself to awaken slowly, for, as you slept, so have you been taught and comforted by that which is not of understanding to your conscious mind.
Now, as you brush the sand of sleep from your eyes and gaze about you, whether your environment is the mansion or the hovel, yet before your eyes it is the pilgrim’s path you see.
Gather up your staff, then, and prepare to walk this day as a pilgrim of Love; of infinite consciousness; of the kingdom of the Father. And rest not your staff until that inside heart speaks to you of a day well-accomplished in Love and the consciousness of Love. Then may you lay down your staff at the end of your busy day and rest again in the everlasting arms that enfold you between sleeping and waking once again to the peace, Love and joy of the consciousness of divine Love, the path of the seeker.
It is on this path and in this consciousness that we leave you, now and ever, with blessings. 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.
