I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 6, 2005:

The question today has to do with guidance and how people can perceive guidance, how they can become aware of their guidance, and along a more specific line, we’re wondering just exactly how guidance can be perceived by people who do what we would consider to be quite evil things like killing, controlling, and torturing other people? Is it the case that guidance goes bad or is it the person, in the way they perceive the guidance? Could you give us some information on guidance, please?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we are. May we express our thanks to each of you for creating this circle of seeking and express what a privilege and a joy it is to be able to have the opportunity to share our thoughts through this instrument on the subject of guidance, both the positive and negative aspects of it. It is a large subject, and we can but hope to make a beginning in this session of working. But we are most grateful to you for providing the energy and the question to create a sharing of energy amongst all of us and you. We offer this up to the Creator, and would ask of you only that you continue throughout this session, and when you think of this session to use absolute honesty in examining your feelings about the thoughts that we share. Your discrimination is priceless. No one else can know what is right for you but you. You are the authority; we are not. We are only those who share thoughts. Please, if there are thoughts that we share this day that trouble you, or in any way do not resonate for you, drop them. Put them down and leave them behind, for they are not a part of your process. If you will do us this favor it will help us to feel reassured that we can share our thoughts without in any way damaging your own free will or the sacredness of that process within you which is your spiritual evolution.

You ask this day concerning guidance and we find that without a certain amount of discussion before we begin talking about guidance itself, we have nothing on which to hang it: no structure which will hold us and hold the concepts about which we would like to speak. And so, we would step back from that question long enough to share a few thoughts about the way we see you as beings. We see you as entities with, as this instrument has said recently, feet firmly planted in two worlds. You are soundly and firmly entrenched from your birth onwards throughout incarnation in a world of illusion that this instrument calls third density. It is consensus reality, as it were. It is the world in which you meet people, make relationships, create a living for yourself and for your family, and find value, meaning and direction in a life that is full of choices.

Upon entry into incarnation you receive a formative bath of cultural orientation. Your parents teach you what to think about the reality that meets your eyes. You form biases based on incorrect information given to you by parents, and teachers, and other authority figures. You create biases within yourself by the pain you experience when you are too helpless to defend yourself from such pain. And when it becomes too much to bear, you create pockets of pain deep within yourself and you bury them over with good times and school assignments and the growing-up process. By the time you have reached what your culture would call adulthood, you have a set of biases within yourself which have created a somewhat colored and distorted view of this consensus reality. And this is the beginning that each of you has. This is your start towards the grand adventure of moving from consensus reality and its extremely limited choices and thoughts into a greater world, a world that is non-local, that this instrument would call the metaphysical world or the world of time/space. It is this world from which you came upon entering incarnation. It is this world that you agreed to forget upon birth so that you could, with absolute freedom of choice, find your way, through desire alone, into what is loosely called the truth.

Now let us look at this situation. The help that you have for this journey is your larger self. Here is a larger self that includes the Creator and all that there is. Through many, many experiences of all the densities of experience up until now in your space/time travels, you have explored the energies of the elements: the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom. You have come at last into the world of animals which bear consciousnesses that are non-local. This is the animal that you now are in third density or in your consensus-reality beingness. It is not that you are divided or split against yourself. It is that the surface of yourself is created by the experiences of a biocomputer that is strictly your brain dealing with every experience that has touched you, and especially hurt you, in such a way as to survive that experience. You remember the good times; you remember the difficult times; you remember the choices that you have made and those things that seemed to have worked for you. You have found ways to protect yourself, to defend yourself, to help yourself be comfortable and happy. And you have done all of this with that consciousness that this instrument would describe as a great ape’s. Many instinctual behaviors have helped you to focus your energies in order to experience life as a comfortable thing.

The group question for this session was: “The question today has to do with guidance and how people can perceive guidance, how they can become aware of their guidance, and along a more specific line, we’re wondering just exactly how guidance can be perceived by people who do what we would consider to be quite evil things like killing, controlling, and torturing other people? Is it the case that guidance goes bad or is it the person, in the way they perceive the guidance?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that we ask this day concerning guidance, and we find that without a certain amount of discussion before we begin talking about guidance itself, we have nothing on which to hang it, and so Q’uo said they would step back from that question long enough to share a few thoughts about the way they see us as beings, as Carla has said recently, with feet planted in two worlds so that we are established from our birth onwards throughout incarnation in a world of illusion that she calls third density, and it is consensus reality, the world in which we meet people and create a living for ourself and for our family, and we find direction in a life that is full of choices. Q’uo went on to say that upon entry into incarnation we receive a cultural orientation as our parents teach us what to think about the reality that we see, and we form biases based on incorrect information given to us by parents, teachers, and other authority figures, and we create biases within ourself by the pain we experience when we are too helpless to defend ourself, so when it becomes too much to bear, we create pockets of pain deep within ourself, and we bury them with good times, school assignments, and the growing-up process so that by the time we have reached adulthood, we have a set of biases within ourself which have created a distorted view of consensus reality, and this is our start towards the adventure of moving from consensus reality and its limited choices into a greater world that is non-local, that Carla would call the metaphysical world, and it is this world from which we came upon entering incarnation, and it is this world that we agreed to forget upon birth so that we could use free will to find our way into what is called the truth. Q’uo continued by saying the help that we have for this journey is our larger self that includes the Creator and all that there is, and through many experiences of all the densities of experience up until now in our space/time travels, we have explored the energies of the elements, the plant kingdom, and the animal kingdom, and now we have come into the world of animals which bear consciousnesses that are non-local so that this is the animal that we now are in third density, but it is not that we are divided against ourself, it is that the surface of ourself is created by our brain dealing with every experience that has touched us, and especially hurt us, in a way as to survive that experience, so we remember the good times, the difficult times, and we remember the choices that seemed to have worked for us, and we have found ways to protect ourself, and to help ourself be happy, and we have done this with that consciousness that Carla would describe as a great ape’s, so many instinctual behaviors have helped us to focus our energies in order to experience life as a comfortable thing. On October 20, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the  nature of our instinctual behaviors:

One of the ways in which entities within third and fourth densities tend to gauge balance is by placing one set of—this entity does not have the appropriate word. She would say “symptoms,” but we speak of ways of thinking and ways of reacting—that should be given to the female and the opposite given to the male principle. In fact, although it is so that the second-density physical vehicle that carries men’s and women’s consciousness about in those densities have distinctive sex related patterns of behavior, it is emphatically not so that the infinite and eternal spirit that is the true self is bounded by or even very conscious of these instinctual behaviors.

Gazing upon the young of your species, it is fairly easy to see that the male and the female children tend to play differently regardless of the toys which they are given. Each within this circle is aware of lifelong patterns of behavior which have been taught by those of good character and strong morality throughout their childhoods, so that the adult seeker not only has the built in biases of the biological body which it has for the space of this incarnation, but it also has a very thorough and often crippling grounding of what it means to be a biological male or female. Even taking these two sets of distortions into consideration we may note that it is certainly not true that all entities respond in the same way to the various conditioning experiences of their lives. There is, then, no fixed limitation as to how a spiritual seeker must express its own being.

At the same time, as you have become competent in working with your third-density body, making those choices and living your life, you have, whether early or late, whether suddenly or gradually, become aware of the larger universe that interpenetrates and surrounds consensus reality. There are many attempts by authority figures in one’s childhood, usually, to interest a growing being in the interests of religion. And often the first forays that a seeker has into that larger reality of the Spirit is offered through the offices of religion. Sometimes, as in the case of this instrument, the orientation of the seeker is such that such entries into spirit actually work, and there is given to one such as this instrument the opportunity to live a life in faith; never leaving the comfortable confines of a parish church and yet glorying in the company of angels and archangels. And so, it has been for this instrument. She did not reach far for her guidance system, for it was the guidance system set up by the one known as Jesus, whom she knew as a childhood friend. This guidance system is the one known as the Holy Spirit. This is only words to most people, but to this instrument it is a living being whom she has come to call Holly and with whom she talks every day.

For most entities who truly and deeply seek and will not be satisfied with the commonplaces that do not fill the empty places in the heart, none of this works. And so, the seeker begins a journey; whereto he does not know. All he knows is that he is seeking to fill the empty place within. It is not given to the seeker to know that he is already in that larger universe that he so craves to know. To the seeker, it somehow is all out there and to be reached for. And yet, that is not the model that we would give you nor the model with which we would ask you to work in attempting to clarify and refine your contact with your own guidance. We would offer you rather the picture of yourself as a being that rests already in the sacred space within, so that the process of learning is actually a process of recovering or remembering who you are.

Now, before incarnation, you created things for yourself that will stand you in good stead. You created relationships that would try you, test you and teach you how to serve without any expectation of return. You created ways in which you could in some outer way be of some service to those around you. And it is a wonderful exploration to undergo in faith to look at each day with the question, “How can I help? How can I serve? Whom can I love? And what shall I learn?” You do not ask these questions in a void. You ask them within the sacred space of your own heart.

That which we offer this instrument is offered in a very careful way. This instrument tunes for this contact as if she were a radio station, tuning to her highest and best self. And when she is there, knowing she is unworthy, but asking to be of service regardless, she offers herself with a whole and utter completeness to the highest and best energy that she knows. And in this instrument’s case, this instrument asks for the energy of Jesus the Christ, or what many would call Christ Consciousness, and what this instrument prefers at times to call unconditional Love. She asks for the highest and best contact that she can carry in a stable manner of unconditional Love. Then she gathers around herself a group so that she does not bear this upon her own shoulders, at all, but rather is simply the group’s focus and the translator of energy from one density, shall we say, or level, to another. It is a fairly complex practice and is geared towards the collection of information which has polarity and which therefore has power. She selects that target to which she attaches herself or with which she connects in order that she and this energy, this source that she has sought, may come together and create a body of words with the hope that such words may inform and inspire. There is risk involved in this work. It is the risk of receiving information that is not helpful, that is not positive, and that creates fear and anxiety rather than harmony, hope, and community.

When an entity by itself seeks guidance, there is no such risk. The instructions from many sources within your consensus reality on this are very clear. The suggestion in general is to go within. Go into that inner room of prayer, closet oneself, and listen to the silence. You see, guidance does not actually come in words. This instrument is not receiving direct guidance from us. This instrument is translating concepts that may have some power to heal or to help growth in your process. And in inner guidance, it is the same conceptual truth. So often, entities who feel that they have received guidance express it not in terms of words but in terms of epiphany, or realization. It is much larger than words can hold, this content of truth. The going into the silence is, first of all, to stop the self from talking; to divorce the self from the busy mind or what this instrument would call the monkey mind of third-density thought.

Then Q’uo said at the same time, as we have become competent in working with our third-density body and living our life, we have eventually become aware of the larger universe that interpenetrates consensus reality where there are attempts by authority figures in our childhood to interest us in religion, and often the first experience that we have as a seeker into the larger reality of the Spirit is offered through the offices of religion, and sometimes the orientation of the seeker is such that these entries into spirit work, so there is given to one such as Carla the opportunity to live a life in faith, never leaving the parish church while still glorying in the company of angels and archangels, and she did not reach far for her guidance system, for it was the guidance system set up by the one known as Jesus, whom she knew as a childhood friend, and this guidance system is the one known as the Holy Spirit which is only words to most people, but to this instrument it is a living being whom she has come to call Holly, and with whom she talks every day. Q’uo went on to say that for most of us who truly seek, and will not be satisfied with the commonplaces that do not fill the empty places in our heart, none of this works, and we begin a journey that leads us where we do not know, and all we know is that we are seeking to fill the empty place within, but it is not given to us to know that we are already in that larger universe that we desire to know as a seeker, and it is all out there to be reached for, but that is not the model that Q’uo wanted to give us, nor the model with which they would ask us to work with in attempting to refine our contact with our guidance, so they would rather offer us the picture of ourself as a being that already rests in the sacred space within, so that the process of learning is actually a process of remembering who we are. Q’uo continued by saying before incarnation we created things for ourself that will stand us in good stead such as relationships that would test us and teach us how to serve without any expectation of return, and we created ways in which we could be of some service to those around us, and it is a wonderful exploration to undergo in faith to look at each day with the questions: “How can I help? How can I serve? Whom can I love? And what shall I learn?” Q’uo said that we do not ask these questions in a void, but we ask them within the sacred space of our heart. Now Q’uo said that which we offer Carla is offered in a careful way as she tunes for this contact as if she were a radio station, tuning to her highest and best self, and when she is there, knowing she is unworthy, but asking to be of service regardless, she offers herself with a whole and utter completeness to the highest and best energy that she knows which is the energy of Jesus the Christ, and what she prefers at times to call unconditional Love, and she asks for the highest and best contact that she can carry in a stable manner of unconditional Love, so then she gathers around herself a group so that she does not bear this upon her own shoulders, but rather is simply the group’s focus and the translator of energy from one density to another so that it is a complex practice, and is geared towards the collection of information which has polarity and power, so she selects that target to which she connects in order that she and this energy, this source that she has sought [ Q’uo ] may come together and create a body of words with the hope that such words may inform and inspire, but there is risk involved in this work of receiving information that is not helpful, and that creates fear and anxiety rather than harmony, hope, and community. Then Q’uo said that when an entity by itself seeks guidance, there is no such risk, and the instructions from many sources within our consensus reality on this are very clear, so the suggestion is to go within that inner room of prayer and listen to the silence because guidance does not come in words, so Carla is not receiving direct guidance from us, but she is translating concepts that may have some power to heal or to help growth in our process, and in inner guidance, it is the same conceptual truth, so often instruments who feel that they have received guidance express it not in terms of words but in terms of realization which is larger than words can hold, and the going into the silence is to stop the self from talking and to divorce the self from the busy mind or what Carla would call the monkey mind of third-density thought. On September 27, 1992, Q’uo described one way that we can make contact with our inner guidance:

For those who have little or no experience in requesting guidance from those whose honor it is to provide such, we would recommend that there be those times of meditations reserved for opening the heart in this seeking to the inner guidance, and during this time we would recommend that the seeker begin to familiarize the self with those sensations and feelings that rise up from within as this request is made. Thus, the seeker will come to feel the response to this request, and will come to recognize the feeling tone, shall we say, of those who respond.

During these meditations it is helpful if the seeker is able to begin the meditations by centering the self upon those qualities of the self which are, shall we say, more securely set and which can be used as the building block. By centering upon the qualities that are stable the seeker offers its call and is in a position to remain open to the response according to the stability of centering qualities, be they humor, balance, care, devotion, intensity of desire, or whatever the seeker feels are the most stable and available characteristics. Then, when the seeker has become familiar with the feeling of the response, it is then possible to ask for such in the normal round of activities, outside of meditations.

Now, many times, each of you within this circle has experienced that wonderful movement from local and linear thought into imagination. Connections become looser and they slide across disciplines and ways of thinking, finding friendly structures in unlikely places. And one begins to create castles in the air and have wonderful towers of thought that have come to one somehow sideways. This is guidance at its most elementary. When you have finally been able to begin to disconnect the relentlessly logical, linear mind and have lifted away from ratiocination to imagination, then you have become ready to behold your larger self. As you sit in the silence of no-thought, as you relax into that sacred space that silence builds within you, your body is able to relax and let go of its incredibly tenacious hold on your deeper consciousness. Physical changes occur to one who is simply sitting and resting. The blood pressure drops, the pulse slows, the brainwaves actually change, and chemical changes occur throughout the body systems. You can breath more deeply at last and begin to release yourself into your fundamental seeking. You can begin at last to ask the questions that are too deep for words.

For most entities, the first thing that occurs when you move into the silence is that all of the things at which you have not wanted to look or which you have put aside because there was no time come up and are viewed by you. Do not resist these forays into seeming thoughts, for they are the material about which the very highest part of your subconscious being has been concerned. Welcome each of them as a guest without any attachment to how long that guest will stay. Sit with that guest. Listen and observe. This is something that has been stuck in your energy body. Let it get unstuck, but do not follow it. Allow it to express, allow it to rise, and allow it to fall again. This process may be all you can do for months if you are simply a beginner to silent meditation, and that is fully acceptable. That is progress of the greatest kind. Gradually you will become able to move deeper because you have begun clearing your energy body, and those blockages and distortions that were most troubling you, that were most constricting the energy on its way to your open heart, will have been released, balanced, loved and accepted by you.

Have you any idea how unaccepted you are by yourself? You have only to go into meditation to discover that. Let the ghosts that haunt you visit you. They cannot hurt you. You are safe. Allow them to rise, and begin to look at those ghosts and the shadows that they represent as worthy, honored, loved, accepted, and embraced. This is a powerful process and may we say that, in our opinion, it cannot be rushed. It cannot be hurried. It has its own rhythm in your life in Spirit. And once again, as you persist day by day in the discipline of allowing yourself to get to know yourself, you are clearing the way for an ever deeper understanding of who you are.

Now Q’uo said that many times, each of us within this circle has experienced that movement from linear thought into imagination where connections slide across disciplines and ways of thinking and finding friendly structures in unlikely places, and we begin to have wonderful towers of thought that have come to us somehow sideways which is guidance at its most elementary, and when we have finally been able to begin to disconnect our logical mind and have engaged our imagination, then we have become ready to behold our larger self, so as we relax into that sacred space that silence builds within us, our body is able to relax and let go of its hold on our deeper consciousness so that physical changes occur to us when we are sitting and resting so that our blood pressure drops; our pulse slows; our brainwaves change; and chemical changes occur throughout our body systems; and we can breathe more deeply and begin to release ourself into our fundamental seeking to ask the questions that are too deep for words. Q’uo went on to say that for most of us, the first thing that occurs when we move into the silence is that all of the things which we have not wanted to look at come up and are viewed by us, and we should not resist these thoughts, for they are the material about which the highest part of our subconscious being has been concerned so that we can welcome each of them as a guest without any attachment to how long they will stay, and then sit with that guest to listen and observe because this is something that has been stuck in our energy body, so we can let it get unstuck, but we should not follow it, but allow it to rise and to fall again, and this process may be all we can do for months if we are a beginner to silent meditation, and gradually we will become able to move deeper because we have begun clearing our energy body, and those blockages that were constricting the energy on its way to our open heart, will have been released, balanced, and loved by us. Q’uo continued by saying that if we would like to know how unaccepted we are by ourself we only have to go into meditation to discover that when we can let the ghosts that haunt us visit us because they cannot hurt us, so we can allow them to rise, and begin to look at those ghosts and the shadows that they represent as worthy, loved, and accepted so that this is a powerful process, and it cannot be rushed because it has its own rhythm in our life in Spirit, and as we persist day by day in the discipline of allowing us to get to know ourself, we are clearing the way for a deeper understanding of who we are. On December 17, 1995, Q’uo spoke of who we are:

The truth, the reality, of who we are, who you are, and what your basic nature is, is beyond mental acquisition. Those who seek the truth of being are those who are destined to follow a mystery, and much is gained by the entity who simply decides to trust that mystery, to trust the basic nature of the self, and to ask not to become something he is not, but rather to become that which he most truly is, for each of you has the pure and perfect Light within. Each of you dwells in a state of grace at a very deep level at all times in all places whatsoever.

Each of you came here very focused on learning and service. And yet you walk through the veil of incarnation, and you forget that focus so that as you live your life, you are learning not by rote, not by memorizing lessons that some teacher or authority figure has given you, but by every thought that you have, every desire that you are able to identify. The refinery of Earth is one in which you decide what to refine, what to pursue, what to bring up from the treasury of your own subconscious material and how to mine that material for the jewels that it contains. And it is in this model that we would talk to you about guidance.

You came into incarnation supported and bolstered, without any possibility of being abandoned or isolated, with a very solid, sturdy guidance system. It is up to you to create the structure with which you feel comfortable as a person for receiving this guidance. To some extent, you may do reading into religions, philosophies, myth, and archetype, for each culture has ways of describing and structuring guidance. For the Native Americans, for instance, every animal has a role to play in guiding. Each animal that you meet, therefore, is a messenger. There are systems of guidance which employ inspired human beings who act as gurus; and these gurus are able to focus spirit in such a way that realizations come to the student who is devoted to the guru. There are those religious systems which ask of one that one follow a certain master such as the one known as Jesus, the one known as Buddha, or the one known as Allah and his prophet. There is an almost infinite array of ways to approach beginning to become aware of guidance.

In general, we would say that you must follow the path of greatest resonance. If there is a master who resonates to you so much that you wish to follow in the footsteps of that master, then you will take a certain path towards guidance. If you find that you are more comfortable following the chain of coincidences, of those things that speak to you from day-to-day, then life itself becomes the messenger of guidance. And, in many cases, by the simple discipline of beginning to record one’s dreams or one’s thoughts after meditation, one is able to gain access to that web of love and support that is all around you and waiting with the greatest of eagerness and joy for the opportunity to be heard. We describe this and characterize this as guidance of a positive or service-to-others nature.

Q’uo continued by saying each of us came here focused on learning and service, and we walk through the veil of forgetting, and we forget that focus so that as we live our life we are learning by every thought that we have and every desire that we are able to identify because the refinery of Earth is one in which we decide what to bring up from our subconscious material and how to mine that material for the jewels that it contains, and it is this model that we would talk to you about guidance. Q’uo went on to say that we came into incarnation supported and with a sturdy guidance system, and it is up to us to create the structure with which we feel comfortable to receive this guidance, and we may read about religions, philosophies, myth, and archetype, for each culture has ways of describing and structuring guidance, and for the Native Americans every animal has a role to play in guiding so that each animal that we meet is a messenger, and there are also systems of guidance which have inspired human beings who act as gurus who are able to focus Spirit in a way that realizations come to the student who is devoted to the guru just as there are religions which ask that we follow a certain master such as Jesus, Buddha, or Allah and Mohammad, and there is an almost infinite array of ways to approach beginning to become aware of guidance. Then Q’uo said that we must follow the path of greatest resonance so that if there is a master who resonates to us that we wish to follow in the footsteps of that master, then we will take a certain path towards guidance, or if we find that we are more comfortable following the chain of coincidences, then life itself becomes the messenger of guidance, and by the discipline of beginning to record our dreams or our thoughts after meditation, we are able to gain access to that web of Love and support that which is all around us and waiting with eagerness and joy for the opportunity to be heard, and Q’uo described these as guidances of a positive or service-to-others nature. On October 17, 2009, Q’uo described the nature of the web of Love:

Settle in for that long walk. It is a beautiful walk, my friends. It is one with a good ending, and in reference to life as a game, it is a game that you can win. You have only to love and to allow yourself to be loved in return. For, my friends, the Creator loves you more than you can possibly imagine. You are surrounded with Love. There is a web of Love around you that is partially angelic and partially that of your guidance, which you could call your higher self, that highest and best self that is a gift to you from yourself in sixth density.

Rest in the web of Love that surrounds you and be infinitely curious as you witness this life. You came here to create according to your desires that which you wished. Therefore, shape your desires to match your deepest self, and the deepest desires of which you are aware. And seek always to go deeper, to learn more and to become freed to be attentive to the present moment.

You have also asked about guidance of a service-to-self nature, or a negative nature, such as the guidance system of the one known as Hitler and other obviously service-to-self entities who are not interested in helping others but in controlling them. Within the time/space densities from which guidance comes, the positive and the negative paths are separated. One within fourth or fifth density has chosen either to serve others or to serve the self. You as a positive spirit are receiving guidance from your own Greater Self at a density that is further on in space/time than your own. You are receiving back the information that you have won by earning it through lesson after lesson, service after service, and density upon density. When you receive guidance of a negative nature, it has not been arranged beforehand. It has not been planned before incarnation. Rather, it has the character of a predator and its prey. For the service-to-self entity that wishes to be a negatively-oriented guide for a third-density entity is actually looking to control the source of power and to be sure that that power does not turn towards the light but towards the darkness.

These entities are what this instrument would describe as vampiric in nature. They are looking to feed upon your love and to turn it into fear. The path of their ingress into your system of awareness has to do with those deeply buried spaces of pain, which are usually embedded during childhood but may have been embedded more recently, in the adulthood, as well. Usually the deepest pockets of pain and suffering within an entity’s psyche are those that have been buried since childhood and have been well covered over. If you have distortions involving anger, for instance, such an entity can find a roost deep within you. And if you become interesting to such an entity because you have begun to seek the light and have therefore polarized and begun to accrue power to your being within incarnation, you will attract such entities’ attention. And they will look throughout your armor of light, shall we say, throughout your energy body, to see where there is a hidden pocket of pain that is unknown or unaccepted by the conscious mind and unloved by the conscious heart. And into this pocket they will come and perch and wait for the opportunity to create fear, pain, division and so forth.

Each entity is vulnerable in her own way to such greeting. It is like a Chinese puzzle, in that the more such greeting is resisted, the stronger it can become. Had the one known as Hitler been able to turn and face the pain within him, this entity would not have been able to delude himself as he did; for indeed this entity believed that he was aiding not only himself but his entire race, with which he identified strongly, by excluding those who were not perfect, as was his race. To build up such prejudice is to move ever deeper into fear and exclusion. When in your life you see divisive energies, energies that judge and exclude and create a feeling of elitism and a sense that one is better than another entity or another group, you can easily finger the culprit. You have been beguiled by vampire energy into turning to a part of yourself in which the light is not developed.

There is always the choice, when this is perceived, as to how to deal with the situation. If you reject yourself and judge yourself for having come into this configuration of thought, then you are increasing those divisive energies and moving further from the love that you understand is positive. You are still engaged in loving, but that love has been distorted into fear and into those negative emotions which attack, defend and create barriers. Moving back into a gaze of the self, you may see that it comes down, ever and always, to this moment. Here is the moment of choice; here is the arena of so-called light and so-called darkness. Shall you love what you see or shall you reject it? All of polarity and all of your access to guidance rests on your decision, in this moment, to embrace, include and love; or to reject, exclude, and fear. Here is where words like faith, grace, and hope are seen to be entities of great beauty, power, and truth. At the moment that you realize that you must ask for help, you have already begun to receive that help. It is as reflexive as breathing out and breathing in. Know that you are never alone when you seek the truth. Know that you are in the company of those that love you and wish only to support you.

How to access your guidance? There are as many ways as there are people. And we will be glad to explore any of those ways about which you wish to ask. Simply knowing yourself to be the being that you are is the beginning of a great adventure. And may we say that at any time that you wish us to aid in your meditation, we are glad to join you if you will but mentally request our presence. It is not that we have anything to add but our love. That love is as a carrier wave that enables you to meditate a little more smoothly and deeply. We gladly offer that and are most grateful to serve and we thank each of you who has asked us and who has been able to feel that underlying and undergirding steadiness that comes with meditating as part of a larger group. Be assured that you have an extended family of what this instrument would call angels and beings that have worked with you before that rest around you continuously and that bolster you on every side: before and behind, above and beneath. You rest in a web of love.

Q’uo went on to say we have asked about guidance of a service-to-self nature such as the guidance system of Hitler and other negative entities who are not interested in helping others but in controlling them, and within the time/space densities from which guidance comes, the positive and the negative paths are separated so that one within fourth or fifth density has chosen either to serve others or to serve the self, and since we are a positive spirit we are receiving guidance from our own Greater Self that we have earned through many lessons, services, and densities, so when we receive guidance of a negative nature, it has not been arranged before our incarnation, but it has the: “character of a predator and its prey because the service-to-self entity that wishes to be a negatively-oriented guide for a third-density entity is actually looking to control the source of power and to be sure that that power does not turn towards the light but towards the darkness.” Then Q’uo said that these entities are what Carla would describe as vampiric in nature because they are looking to feed upon our love and to turn it into fear, and the path of their ingress into our system of awareness has to do with our deeply buried spaces of pain, which were embedded during childhood but may have been embedded more recently, as well, so if we have distortions involving anger such an entity can find a target deep within us, and if we have begun to seek the light and have  polarized and begun to accrue power to our being we will attract such entities’ attention, and it will look throughout our armor of light and our energy body to see where there is a hidden pocket of pain that is unaccepted by our conscious mind and unloved by our heart, and into this pocket they will come and wait for the opportunity to create fear, pain, and division. Now Q’uo said that each of us is vulnerable in our own way to such greeting which is like a Chinese puzzle, in that the more we resist the greeting, the stronger it can become so that if Hitler been able to face the pain within him he would not have been able to delude himself as he did, for indeed he believed that he was aiding not only himself but his entire race by excluding those who were not perfect, as was his race so that to build up such prejudice is to move deeper into fear and exclusion, so when we see divisive energies that create a feeling of elitism we can easily identify the culprit, and know that we have been controlled by vampire energy into turning to a part of ourself in which the light is not developed. Q’uo went on to say that when we can perceive that there is always a choice as how to deal with the situation, but if we judge ourself for having come into this configuration of thought, then we are increasing those divisive energies and moving further from the love that we understand is positive—even though we are still engaged in loving–our love has been distorted into fear and into those negative emotions which attack and create barriers so that if we can move back into a gaze of ourself, we may see that it comes down to this moment of choice in the arena of light and darkness, and we can love or reject what we see, and all of our polarity and access to guidance depends upon our choice in this moment, so here is where words like faith and grace are seen to be entities of power and truth, and in the moment that we realize that we must ask for help, we have already begun to receive that help because it is as reflexive as breathing out and breathing in, and we need to remember that we are never alone when we seek the truth because we are in the company of those that love and support us. Q’uo completed their reply by saying there are as many ways for us to access our guidance as there are people, and they would be glad to explore any of those ways that we wish to ask about, and simply knowing ourself to be the being that we are is the beginning of a great adventure, and they said that at any time that we wish them to aid in our meditation they would be glad to join us if we mentally requested their presence because they could add their love to our meditation, and love is a carrier wave than can enable us to meditate more deeply, and we have an extended family of what Carla would call angels and beings that have worked with us before that rest around us continuously and that support us on every side: before and behind, above and beneath, and we rest in a web of Love. On October 17, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the web of Love:

Settle in for that long walk. It is a beautiful walk, my friends. It is one with a good ending, and in reference to life as a game, it is a game that you can win. You have only to love and to allow yourself to be loved in return. For, my friends, the Creator loves you more than you can possibly imagine. You are surrounded with Love. There is a web of Love around you that is partially angelic and partially that of your guidance, which you could call your higher self, that highest and best self that is a gift to you from yourself in sixth density.

Rest in the web of Love that surrounds you and be infinitely curious as you witness this life. You came here to create according to your desires that which you wished. Therefore, shape your desires to match your deepest self, and the deepest desires of which you are aware. And seek always to go deeper, to learn more and to become freed to be attentive to the present moment.

We would ask at this time if there are any queries before we leave this instrument and we thank each of you for enabling us to respond to such an excellent question. We are those of Q’uo.

Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

We are those of Q’uo, and find that we have exhausted the questions in this circle of seeking for the moment. We say again to you what a privilege and a pleasure it is to be with you and to share our humble thoughts. And may we ask you again to discard them without a second thought if they trouble you. The beauty of your beings and your seeking humbles us and opens our hearts. Thank you, each of you. We are those of Q’uo, and we leave you as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed. My second stop was at Kroger’s where I bought some Pepsi-Zero and some bananas. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some more food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreens’ Drug Store where I pickup up a prescription and bought some Kleenex.

This afternoon I went outside and used some super glue to glue down a couple of letters in Bosco’s name that had come off of his gravestone. Then I went across the street and spread some bird seed under the bird feeder’s in my neighbor’s front yard.

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

March 17

The Winds Of Circumstance

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

Just as your angry oceans in the teeth of the gale, so are your hearts within you as you attempt to deal with the things which are of your mundane world. The angry ocean rages within each cell of any body which attempts to move against the direction of the prevailing winds.

And one who chides and discriminates against its own body or circumstances does so needlessly. For the wind of circumstance is not apart from the pilgrim but much influenced by the subconscious thoughts of that pilgrim.

And the ocean of illusion is molded more than can be seen on the surface by the thoughts which are created by worry and fear.

Seek, then, the positive, forward-moving winds of the Spirit which lie within and beyond all mundane bodies and circumstances, so that the winds are no longer angry and, more and more, those things mundane may breathe the fresh breeze of spirit which comes to all who may be blessed by such grateful wind.

We leave you in the full blessing of the consciousness of Love, 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.
