I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 18, 2006:

Question from A and R: A experiences visitations by a person who is not visible but whose footsteps he can hear. Can you please offer any comments and thoughts you feel might be helpful to learn more about this experience?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We come to you this day as part of our service to the Creator. Thank you for requesting our presence at your circle of seeking. It is a great blessing and privilege to be so called. It has been a pleasure already to rest in the beauty and dedication and we thank you for setting aside this time for seeking the truth. As always, we would ask that you use your discrimination in listening to our thoughts. Be careful to ignore and lay aside any thoughts of ours that do not seem resonant to you. That way, we can offer our opinion without being concerned that we will infringe upon your free will or the sacredness of your evolutionary process.

[Pause]

You ask this day concerning the entities involved in creating the effect of presence for the one known as A, and you wish to know how to deal with this somewhat unsettling phenomenon. Gazing at your situation we see that it falls under the general category of unknown visitors. It is more common than one would think for people living on planet Earth within incarnation to be visited by presences that they cannot explain or see. The inner planes are crowded with entities of all kinds, polarities, orientation, and description. There are points of opportunity where various types of entities can interact with incarnate beings that happen to be sensitive to finer vibrations, shall we say. And this is occurring with the one who is known as A.

We would observe that, in general, there are three categories of visitation. And we do not divide these into three in terms of the particular kind of visitor, but rather the orientation of whatever visitor is being experienced. The first orientation is positive or service-to-others oriented. There are many service-to-others oriented entities that flock around one throughout the incarnation, and as loving hearts are opened and choices are made to increase the polarity of a seeking individual, the crowd of those entities who wish to associate themselves with such a source of light and love becomes larger.

There is a large category of non-polarized contacts. These involve mischievous spirits, passers-by who are basically in the position of kibitzing, looking over your shoulder as you play the game of life and other entities who desire neither to help you nor to harm you, but simply to be witness to that which is occurring with a particular entity.

Thethird category of visitation is that which could be described as negative or service-to-self oriented. The marks of the service-to-self visitor are those energies of discomfort, alienation, discouragement, and irritation. When there is no communication from a service-to-self visitor that is audible or received according to the perceptive way of the individual involved, then the negativity of the contact may be inferred from the discomfort which accompanies such contact.

It is to be remembered that the self is inviolable. There have been in your culture many frightening stories of possession of an incarnate being by those of the inner planes. Ninety-nine percent or more of the stories are heavily skewed. Because of your cultural tendency, when anything is not able to be explained by empirical data there is created in the mind of your particular culture an inborn bias against the validity of such information. Therefore, any visitation that cannot be explained by clearly observable facts will be suspect and even considered perhaps not to be happening at all. This is acceptable to us if those among your people wish to turn your backs upon felt experience. However, we would suggest that it is a more skillful response to such feelings of being accompanied to assume that in some way, shape or form you are indeed being accompanied. The question of why then becomes interesting.

Question from A and R: A experiences visitations by a person who is not visible but whose footsteps he can hear. Can you please offer any comments and thoughts you feel might be helpful to learn more about this experience? Q’uo began by saying we ask this day concerning the entities involved in creating the effect of presence for A, and we wish to know how to deal with this unsettling phenomenon, and Q’uo said as they looked at our situation they saw that it falls under the general category of unknown visitors which is more common than we would think for people living on planet Earth within our incarnation to be visited by presences that we cannot explain or see because the inner planes are crowded with entities of all kinds, and there are points of opportunity where various types of entities can interact with incarnate beings that happen to be sensitive to finer vibrations. Q’uo went on to say they observe that there are three categories of visitation which are determined by the orientation of whatever visitor is being experienced, and the first orientation is service-to-others entities that flock around us throughout the incarnation, and as  our loving hearts are opened and choices are made to increase our wish to associate ourselves with such a source of Light and Love becomes larger. Q’uo continued by saying that there is a large category of non-polarized contacts, and these involve mischievous spirits who are the position of looking over our shoulder as we play the game of life, and other entities who desire neither to help us nor to harm us, but simply to be witness to that which is occurring with us. Now Q’uo said the third category of visitation is that which could be described as negative or service-to-self oriented, and the marks of the service-to-self visitor are those energies of alienation and irritation, and when there is no communication from a service-to-self visitor that is audible according to the perceptions of the individual involved, then the negativity of the contact may be inferred from the discomfort which accompanies such contact. Then Q’uo said it is to be remembered that we are inviolable, and there have been in our culture frightening stories of possession of an incarnate being by those of the inner planes, but ninety-nine percent of the stories are heavily distorted because of our culture’s tendency to have a bias against the validity of such information, so that any visitation that cannot be explained by observable facts will be suspect, and this is acceptable if our people wish to turn our backs upon the experience, but Q’uo  suggested that it is a more skillful response to such feelings of being accompanied to assume that in some way we are being accompanied, so the question of why becomes interesting. On November 13, 2010, Q’uo described the nature of our game of life:

Because you are an old, experienced hand at working with the game of life now. You understand about choices. You understand about love. You understand about the hall of mirrors in which all things speak to you—people, situations and things—and you are comfortable at last in this game, and enthusiastic to play it. It is not that you have become one who controls your life. It is that you have become one who enjoys the surprises of life and who knows that even in the darkest hour, there is Light and Love aplenty for one whose mind is stayed upon the truth of Love.

Each time your heart beats and sends the blood through your veins, it beats in Love. Love is the essence of your being at all levels. Love is the health of your body, the strength of your spirit, the deepener of your emotions. Seek to love and remember to allow yourself to be loved in return. No push, no pull, but a resting, a contemplation of beauty, and a devotion; a thirst and hunger for the Creator’s presence in your life and, my brother, you will make that habit, and you will feel comfortable inside your skin at last. Ask for help. You know we are there, and you know many others are as well.

Further than this we cannot go without infringing upon the free will of the ones known as A and R. And so, we shall at this time ask for the second question. We are those of Q’uo.

Jim: A senses that this being or source is somewhat unfriendly. Please offer spiritual principles and thoughts you feel might be helpful in his determining whether he should try to communicate with this source.

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brothers. As this instrument is well aware, it is a delicate procedure to come into a mutually helpful contact with an unseen entity. Entities from the unseen or inner realms of your planet are many and their interactions with those who are incarnate on your planet are numerous. A large category of the interaction between spirit and flesh is the interaction of the self with the guidance system of that self. Your guidance system is, in the words of this instrument, the Holy Spirit, and in the words of the social memory complex known as Ra, the higher self. It is helpful to think in terms of the latter configuration of words in terms of determining who your guidance system really is, for your guidance system is not an entity other than yourself; rather, it is an access point into your larger self.

Youare part of a soul stream that is not tied to any particular space or time. In the metaphysical world, time/space, all things occur in a circular ubiquity, happening all at once and tending towards being harvested, in terms of any experience that one has towards the middle or the source of your incarnation, so that things that you learn in all incarnations are being harvested into the soul stream’s center. When the march that you experience now through the densities is complete, all of that harvest will be offered to the one infinite Creator. And the Creator will then have learned more about Itself than It knew before. Such is your gift to the one infinite Creator in every moment of your life as you accrete interesting information and gradually digest and understand more and more of that which you see.

However, communication with your higher self is a uniquely protected activity. It is, in fact, the only case in which we would feel quite comfortable recommending that the one known as A or the one known as R pursue the conversation that is possible with one’s guidance system. Such a conversion is occurring completely within one’s own protected heart. There is no outside interference that is possible in this communication. Opening such a communication can be somewhat difficult for those who are not entirely used to moving on instinct, intuition or insight. Avenues of direct perception are almost entirely blocked and denigrated by the values of your culture. Consequently, even those with very sensitive natures, who are aware of much more than they can explain, do not tend to feel confident about opening such a communication. Nevertheless, it is relatively easy to open such communication. It simply requires patience and persistence, once the goal of opening communications with your guidance system has been decided upon.

A senses that this being or source is somewhat unfriendly. Please offer spiritual principles and thoughts you feel might be helpful in his determining whether he should try to communicate with this source. Q’uo began by saying as Carla is aware, it is a delicate procedure to come into a mutually helpful contact with an unseen entity because entities from the inner realms of our planet are many, and their interactions with those who are incarnate on our planet are numerous, so that a large category of the interaction between spirit and flesh is the interaction of our self with the guidance system of that entity, and our guidance system is the Holy Spirit, and in the words of Ra, the higher self, so it is helpful to think in terms of the latter configuration of words in terms of determining who our guidance system really is, for our guidance system is not an entity other than our self, but it is an access point into our larger self.

Q’uo continued by saying communication with our higher self is a protected activity since it is the only case in which Q’uo would feel comfortable recommending that A or R pursue the conversation that is possible with our guidance system, so such a conversion is occurring within our protected heart, and there is no outside interference that is possible in this communication, so opening such a communication can be difficult for those of us who are not used to moving on intuition, but avenues of perception are almost entirely blocked by the values of our culture, so even those of us with sensitive natures, who are aware of more than we can explain, do not feel confident about opening such a communication, so it is easy to open such communication since it requires patience once the goal of opening communication with our guidance system has been decided upon. On December 2, 1979, Hatonn spoke of the nature of our higher self:

Your higher self, my sister, is in the eternal now and is closer to you than any physical part of your being. In this illusion you are a splinter of your eternal Spirit which has been sent into this illusion in order to learn certain lessons and to grow in spirit, and this growth is then added to the higher self, which is eternal. Thus, all that you have learned and all that you will learn are enclosed in your higher self, giving you the benefit of all of your future understanding as well as your past experience. When you are in doubt, if you will pause in meditation and consciously ask that the truth that your higher self knows be made known to you in some way and then release this request, you will find that within the next hours or days through a dream or inner certainty or vision you will be relieved of your problem either by understanding it or by its resolution.

When an energy feels inimical or uncomfortable, the marks of one’s guidance system are not present. And in such a case we would in no way advise the attempt to create a communication with such a source or entity. The reason for this is the relatively unformed nature of any entity’s personality with regard to metaphysical work. There is a very specific discipline which must be approached, grasped, invoked, and pursued before an entity is ready to begin thinking about communicating with any spirit that is perceived. The nature of the human personality is such that unless care is taken, any attempt to open communication will be difficult, faulty or even harmful to the integrated personality shell of the being attempting the opening of the communication.

The need, then, before opening communication of any kind, is to go through a lengthy process wherein an entity discovers himself, defines his nature, and explores thoroughly those principles and central themes for which he is living and for which he would die. When an entity knows himself so well that he knows the ground upon which he stands, he has then become an entity in the metaphysical world of time/space. For the first time he has achieved the discipline of a personality. He has examined the self. He is aware of what he believes; what he loves; that for which he feels most passionate; that for which he lives and that for which he would gladly lose his life if it were necessary. When an entity has come to that extreme of knowledge of self, he is then ready to have conversations with other spirits. He is then able to challenge them and to say, “If you come in the name of that for which I live and that for which I will die, then I will speak with you. If you do not, then you must go away.” And that entity will perforce need to go away if he cannot meet your challenge.

To be able to make that challenge, knowing the self thoroughly, is the work of years. And if the one known as A wishes to communicate with this entity, that work lies before him yet to do. And this in no case a thing to be taken lightly or to be done as a lark or because it might be interesting. This instrument has watched personalities disintegrate under the bludgeoning power of a careless, uncaring inner-planes entity whose delight in breaking through to the physical world was such that that entity did not care what damage it did to the personality of the being whose energies it took over. We would encourage the one known as A to be very careful and thoughtful if it is decided that communication with such an entity as the one he describes would be desirable for him.

Then Q’uo said when an energy feels uncomfortable, the marks of one’s guidance system are not present, and in such a case they would not advise our attempt to create a communication with such an entity, and the reason for this is the unformed nature of our personality with regard to metaphysical work because there is a discipline which must be pursued before we are ready to begin thinking about communicating with any spirit that is perceived because the nature of the human personality is such that unless care is taken, any attempt to open communication will be difficult to the integrated personality shell when we are attempting the opening of the communication. Then Q’uo said the need before opening communication of any kind, is to go through a lengthy process where we discover our nature and explore those principles for which we are living and for which we would die, and when we know our self so well that we know the ground upon which we stand, we have become an entity in the metaphysical world of time/space, and for the first time we have achieved the discipline of our personality, and we are aware of what we believe and that for which we live and that for which we would gladly die if it were necessary, so when we have come to that knowledge of our self, we are then ready to have conversations with other spirits, and we are able to challenge them and to say, “If you come in the name of that for which I live and that for which I will die, then I will speak with you. If you do not, then you must go away.” And it will need to go away if it cannot meet our challenge. Now Q’uo said to be able to make that challenge, knowing our self thoroughly, is the work of years, and if A wishes to communicate with this entity, that work lies before him yet to do, and this not a thing to be taken lightly since Carla has watched personalities disintegrate under the power of an uncaring inner-planes entity whose delight in breaking through to the physical world was such that that it did not care what damage it did to the personality of the being whose energies it took over, and we would encourage A to be careful if it is decided that communication with such an entity as the one he describes would be desirable for him. On July 25, 1976, Hatonn shared a spiritual definition of the physical world:

Love, my friends, is the word which created all that there is. What vibration is to the physical world, Love is to the consciousness that created the physical world. Love is all that there is and all that you see about you, day by day, are manifestations of Love. My friends, it may seem to you often that you are not looking at the manifestations of Love when you look at your relationship with someone with whom you are having difficulty, when your nation looks at other nations with whom it is having difficulty. And yet, we offer to you the precise analogy of vibration in your physical world. It is well known to your scientists that all things are made up of vibration and energy centers. Yet to you, the manifestations of vibration seem many and varied: tables and buildings and trees and human bodies. Yet all of these, my friends, are one thing: energy in motion.

May we ask if there is another query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.

Jim: Please offer any thoughts you feel might be helpful to A and R as to how they can be a helpful part of their young nephews’ spiritual growth.

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. To be a part of the good in a child’s life is a very precious gift and we salute and applaud those entities known as A and R for wishing to be a part of the spiritual development of those children with whom they are associated. Being a part of the good in a child’s life begins with that which the ones known as R and A are already doing, which is simply to love the children involved with all of their hearts and to wish them well. The atmosphere of unconditional Love is a tremendously powerful influence on a young child. In a world in which seldom does anything go unchallenged in terms of the life of a schoolchild and a child in general learning how to be a part of society, such beings as doting uncles are definitely appreciated. Be assured that those whom you love are aware of your energy and feel the sunlight of that love as warmth and healing.

When entities around children are living their lives in a spiritually oriented manner, this has a strong effect upon the children. For the children are able to see that spirituality is a normal part of a daily, everyday life, not something special for Sundays or for holidays but rather part of the routine of living. Entities who are children at this time period in your planet’s evolution are very special entities. They have come for very specific reasons into the Earth’s plane at this time. And for them to bump into those concepts of spending time in the silence each day and dedicating one’s life to service to others is a very helpful experience.

It is not necessary to preach or even to say anything about the things that one is doing. It is only necessary so to live the life that the whole life is seen as sacred. Then when entities such as your nephews come into contact with you, they experience that aura of sacredness to the Light. In a way, it is as subtle and simple as taking oneself seriously, metaphysically speaking, and creating a daily life that reflects the priorities given to the spiritual process. When an entity young in years sees a mature individual spending his free time completely on self-indulgence—food, drink, games, and so forth—an entity begins to assume that that is the sum and substance of Earthly life.

The question was: “Please offer any thoughts you feel might be helpful to A and R as to how they can be a helpful part of their young nephews’ spiritual growth.” Q’uo began by saying to be a part of the good in a child’s life is a very precious gift, and we applaud A and R for wishing to be a part of the spiritual development of those children with whom they are associated, and being a part of the good in a child’s life begins with that which R and A are already doing, which is to love the children involved with all of their hearts and to wish them well because the atmosphere of unconditional Love is a powerful influence on a young child, and in a world in which anything goes unchallenged in terms of the life of a child in general and in learning how to be a part of society, such beings as doting uncles are definitely appreciated, so be assured that those whom you love are aware of your energy and feel the sunlight of that love as warmth and healing. Q’uo went on to say when entities around children are living their lives in a spiritually oriented manner, this has a strong effect upon the children because the children are able to see that spirituality is a normal part of an everyday life, not something special for Sundays, and entities who are children at this time in our planet’s evolution are special entities since they have come for specific reasons into the Earth’s plane, and for them to look into those concepts of spending time in the silence each day and dedicating their life to service to others is a helpful experience. Now Q’uo said that it is not necessary to say anything about the things that you are doing, and it is only necessary so to live the life that is seen as sacred so that when entities such as your nephews come into contact with you, they experience that aura of sacredness to the Light, and it is as simple as taking yourself seriously, metaphysically speaking, and creating a daily life that reflects the priorities given to the spiritual process, so when a child sees a mature individual spending his free time completely on self-indulgence a child begins to assume that is the sum and substance of Earthly life. On February 4, 2007, Q’uo spoke of the value of taking yourself seriously:

It is a misapprehension that as you go deeper and become more closely allied to the Godhead principle that you lose yourself. You cannot lose yourself. You are part of the Creator. You are here to stay. Yet, in letting the boundaries drop and asking for healing and understanding, you find yourself growing in strength, in courage and in that feeling that you have in your heart that may be called respect for yourself. For you are taking yourself seriously, and you are attempting to expand the energies of this incarnation in a profitable and efficient way for the service of the one infinite Creator.

However, when a young child experiences life with one who seeks the silence daily, its vistas and its options open up. And it finds that it has a good array of things from which to choose in spending its time. It is not trapped in the world of materiality as it might be trapped if it did not know people who have refused to live their lives in the material universe entirely. As you live your life sacredly, so shall that energy shine forth for entities such as your nephews to observe. You do not have to preach, as we said before. Indeed, we would encourage you not to say anything more than just a thought here and a thought there. Entities young in years are wise in terms of observational powers. And their interests will be sparked in an organic way as things come up and as they happen to be attentive.

And notice what certain particular time there might be that is just the right time for you to offer them a seed thought. Do not feel that you must lecture or teach but rather be yourself. Keep your heart open and allow the natural radiation of Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator to radiate through you. It is a matter of continuing to be aware of the present moment as you go through your day. Bring yourself back to the awareness of that Love. Allow that Love and Light to remain in your day even when it becomes a matter of routine, of fulfilling the duties of the day. Keep moving back into that space of remembrance where you connect with the core of your being which is wholly involved in the business of sacred living.

For you truly open your life up to the full potential that you have as the spark of the one infinite Creator as a part of the principle of that Creator. You are co-Creator in this universe of Earth, sea, sky, and stars. You can choose a good deal of that which occurs in your experience by focusing with sincerity and dedication on those things that you feel are worthy of remembrance. It is this dedication to right living, shall we say, that will inform your life and crystallize and clarify your energy, so that the children with whom you come in contact know that they are touching into a strong and powerfully positive energy. The natural curiosity of childhood will open up that entity’s mind to wonder what you have, and the relationship will bloom from there in a completely organic manner.

Now Q’uo said when a child experiences life with one who seeks the silence daily its vistas open up, and it finds that it has an array of things from which to choose in spending its time since it is not trapped in the world of materiality as it might be trapped if it did not know people who have refused to live their lives in the material universe entirely, so as you live your life sacredly, so shall that energy shine forth for your nephews to observe, and we would encourage you not to say anything more than just a thought here and there because children are wise in terms of their powers of observation, and their interests will be sparked in an organic way as things come up and as they happen to be attentive. Then Q’uo said notice what time there might be that is just the right time for you to offer them a seed thought, and keep your heart open, and allow the natural radiation of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator to radiate through you because it is a matter of continuing to be aware of the present moment as you go through your day, so you can bring yourself back to the awareness of that Love, and allow that Love and Light to remain in your day even when it becomes a matter of fulfilling the duties of the day, so keep moving back into that space of remembrance where you connect with the core of your being which is wholly involved in the business of sacred living. Q’uo continued by saying, for you open your life up to the full potential that you have as the spark of the one infinite Creator as a part of the principle of that Creator since you are co-Creator in this universe of earth, sea, sky, and stars, so you can choose a good deal of that which occurs in your experience by focusing with dedication on those things that you feel are worthy of remembrance, and it is this dedication to right living that will inform your life and curiosity of childhood, so that the children with whom you come in contact know that they are touching into a powerfully positive energy, and the natural curiosity of childhood will open up their mind to wonder what you have, and the relationship will bloom from there in a completely organic manner. On June 18, 1985, Hatonn spoke of how we all are part of the One Creator:

The intensity of the group of three is far, far greater than the intensity of one, for you are unified, and each of you has his will turned unblinkingly towards the face of the Creator who moves across the deep. You are co-creator with the One who has been called the Ancient of Days, and you shall create your days and nights, your incarnation. We wish you the joy of this adventure and urge you both to take very seriously the choices you must make in order to become more positively polarized, and to take with utmost lightness and delicacy the carrying forth of these experiences. The use of discrimination, the use of humor, the use of the larger point of view, shall all aid the seeker and act as a kind of self-encouragement as you do seek in your part of the tunnel, in your walk towards the Light at the end, towards the Love that surrounds all, towards the life that is all creation.

We thank you for the love which informs this question and wish you every opportunity to offer Love and Light to those about you.  Is there another query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.

Jim: The fourth question: R’s ex-partner has moved on and their relationship has ended. However, he remains grateful for the learning received from this relationship. He would like to know any way he can be of a metaphysical help to his ex-partner without infringing on his present life or his free will.

We are those known to you as Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brothers. We appreciate the fastidiousness of the one known as R in asking this question. For it does not often occur to entities that those prayers and wishes for good health and good fortune that entities may offer to each other could have any possibility of being an infringement. There are indeed ways in which free will can be infringed upon by one who is supposedly simply praying, and we will attempt to describe those conditions. When an entity has been unable to release the energetic dynamic that informed a relationship that has ended, it is indeed possible to infringe upon the other entity’s free will in the process of prayer because the entity’s connection with the other entity has not been appropriately broken.

If there is any doubt in the mind of the one known as R that this energetic dynamic has not been fully severed, then we would suggest to the one known as R either that he alone or he and his previous partner together create a ceremony which states an effective and final closure to the relationship. If this is done with the ex-partner, that energetic exercise will be the complete closure. If, on the other hand, this exercise is undertaken by the self and not with the ex-partner, then we would suggest that the ritual of closure be written down, be expressed out loud by the one known as R, and when the ritual that has created full closure has then ended, that he take the piece of paper on which the ritual was written and either burn it to ashes, or bury it in the earth. If there was a difficulty in the separation, it is better to burn the paper to ashes and then blow the ashes away.  

R’s ex-partner has moved on and their relationship has ended. However, he remains grateful for the learning received from this relationship. He would like to know any way he can be of a metaphysical help to his ex-partner without infringing on his present life or his free will. Q’uo began by saying we appreciate  R’s care in asking this question, for it does not often occur to entities that those prayers for good health that entities may offer to each other could have any possibility of being an infringement, but there are ways in which free will can be infringed upon by one who is praying, and we will attempt to describe those conditions so that when an entity has been unable to release the energetic dynamic that formed a relationship that has ended, it is possible to infringe upon the other entity’s free will in the process of prayer because the entity’s connection with the other entity has not been appropriately broken. Q’uo went on to say if there is doubt in the mind of R that this energetic dynamic has not been fully severed, then we would suggest to R either that he alone or he and his previous partner create a ceremony which states a final closure to the relationship, and if this is done with the ex-partner, that energetic exercise will be complete closure, but if this exercise is undertaken by the self and not with the ex-partner, then we would suggest that the ritual of closure be written down, be expressed out loud by R, and when the ritual that has created full closure has ended, that he take the piece of paper on which the ritual was written and either burn it to ashes, or bury it in the earth because if there was a difficulty in the separation, it is better to burn the paper to ashes and then blow the ashes away. On January 23, 2006, Q’uo spoke of how we can achieve complete closure from childhood difficulties:

You may find it helpful to move through early childhood memories with a therapist who is not only fond of you but also trained to guide you through discussion of situations that may be difficult for you to face. This is an issue that is entirely for you to consider. We are not encouraging you to do this. We are saying that you might find complete closure with some of this early childhood material to be helpful in freeing you from some of the strictures within your energy body that you are now experiencing.

We believe the only thought that you need, to bring you at last into a comfortable growth environment within your own inner sanctum, is trust and faith in yourself. As you seek to know more and more who you are, you are going to find that you are discovering the sacred nature of your true self. More and more you are going to be finding reasons to be able to forgive yourself.

Ifthere was no difficulty in the separation, but rather it was agreed upon by both that it was time for the separation so that there are no hard feelings or unhappy endings involved, then it is better simply to give that relationship back to the earth. And that would be the situation in which we would suggest burying the piece of paper on which the ritual of closure was written. In either case, it is well to be absolutely sure that there is energetic closure before one begins an intentional and conscious program of prayers or good wishes for a beloved entity. Again we salute the loving heart of the one known as R in asking this question. It is very well indeed to realize that all entities with whom one has come into contact in a meaningful and a deep way in an incarnation are those entities who have come there as the one known as Ray says, perhaps in this case or that case, there was pain because of such a relationship. This is often the case with any two entities that spend deep time together.

The process of change involves discomfort. And the dynamic of two souls who are attempting to learn together creates many opportunities for growth. Consequently, it is very common in relationships for two entities growing together to experience a good deal of discomfort. This is not because there is incompatibility but rather because of the inevitable effect of spiritual beings learning together. The effect of two such powerful beings, striving together to learn, is that effect which causes each entity to become a mirror for the other entity, so that all of those things which you did not wish to see in yourself, your partner has kindly offered you a mirror so that you may see better. This is seemingly a difficulty, looked at from the spiritual point of view. For in order to enter the open heart, every part of the self that has not yet been loved, accepted and blessed by the self must be brought before the self so that you can do the work of loving your entire self, including that part of your shadow side which does not seem so attractive.

Once the work has been done to sever any lingering energetic dynamic between two people, it is perfectly acceptable to offer prayers at any time for an entity. You are offering prayers to the higher self of that entity rather than to that entity. And that higher self, the Spirit, will direct that loving energy where it needs to go or will lovingly shunt it aside if it is inappropriate. As long as there is not an adhesion of energy between two people this is the spiritual rule that manifests.

Q’uo went on to say if there were no difficulty in the separation, but it was agreed upon by both that it was time for the separation so that there are no hard feelings involved, then it is better to give that relationship back to the earth, and that would be the situation in which we would suggest burying the piece of paper on which the ritual of closure was written, but in either case, it is well to be sure that there is energetic closure before one begins an intentional program of prayers or good wishes for a beloved entity, so we salute the loving heart of R in asking this question because it is well to realize that all entities with whom one has come into contact in a deep way in an incarnation are those entities who have come there as Ray says, perhaps there was pain because of such a relationship, and this is often the case with any two entities that spend deep time together. Q’uo went on to say the process of change involves discomfort, and the dynamic of two souls who are attempting to learn together creates opportunities for growth, so that it is common in relationships for two entities growing together to experience a good deal of discomfort, but this is not because there is incompatibility but because of the two powerful beings, striving together to learn, is that effect which causes each entity to become a mirror for the other entity, so that all of those things which you did not wish to see in yourself, your partner has offered you a mirror so that you may see better which is a difficulty from the spiritual point of view, for in order to enter the open heart, every part of the self that has not yet been loved and accepted by the self must be brought before the self so that you can do the work of loving your self, including that part of your shadow side which does not seem so attractive. Q’uo continued by saying once the work has been done to sever any lingering energetic dynamic between two people, it is perfectly acceptable to offer prayers at any time for an entity because you are offering prayers to the higher self of that entity rather than to that entity, and that higher self will direct that loving energy where it needs to go or will lovingly set it aside if it is inappropriate as long as there is not an adhesion of energy between two people this is the spiritual rule that manifests. In 36.7, Ra gave the basic definition of our higher self:


Questioner: In that case my higher self would, shall we say, have a very large advantage in knowing precisely what was needed since it would know what… as far as I am concerned, what was going to happen. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect, in that this would be an abrogation of free will. The higher self aspect is aware of the lessons learned through the sixth density. The progress rate is fairly well understood. The choices which must be made to achieve the higher self as it is are in the provenance of the mind/body/spirit complex itself.

Thus the higher self is like the map in which the destination is known; the roads are very well known, these roads being designed by intelligent infinity working through intelligent energy. However, the higher self aspect can program only for the lessons and certain predisposing limitations if it wishes. The remainder is completely the free choice of each entity. There is the perfect balance between the known and the unknown.

We find that we have time and this instrument has energy enough for one more query. Is there another query? We are those of Q’uo.

[No further queries.]

We are those of Q’uo, and as we hear through this instrument’s ears that there are no questions, we believe that we have exhausted the questions for this session. May we say what a pleasure it has been. Again we ask that you be careful. Think about that which we say. If there is a false note anywhere, please disregard this information, for we would not wish to be a stumbling block in your way. We are those of Q’uo. We leave you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai.

This morning I went across the road to my neighbor’s yard and used my hedgeclippers to cut down their tall grasses that are dead so that the new grasses that have just begun to sprout can have room and light to grow. I raked up eight garbage cans full of the grasses and put them on the street for yard waste pickup tomorrow morning

This afternoon I took a friend to the Village Anchor Restaurant for lunch, and then we took a walk through walking trail across the street from the Village Anchor.

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

April 2

Give Thanks!

I am of the consciousness of the Most High. I greet you in the realization of unconditional Love, the consciousness of the Christ.

The morning has come again. For what can you give thanks? If there is no sunshine to praise, then praise the clouds and rain.

If you cannot give thanksgiving for the plenteousness of water and the shade of the trees in an oasis, give thanksgiving instead to the clean, clear, lucid and deep desert wherein may be found plain answers and the untangling of many a mystery. If you seem tossed about on the stormy ocean and find that you cannot praise this condition, praise instead the endlessness of that ocean and the infinity and freedom of the water.

For all things made by the Creator are equally to be praised. All moods, feelings and thoughts of those conscious beings whom He made are equally worthy.

Therefore, in whatever condition you find yourself, give thanks. But chiefly give thanks for the Creator which has made all things. For in all things lies Love; the Love of the consciousness of wholeness, healing and peace which is the gift in embodiment of Jesus the Christ.

May you feel blessed regardless of circumstance, because you are a witness to the creation. You may not understand it, but you may praise it in faith and hope, and in that spirit shall you be consoled.

We leave you in the peace and consolation of the spirit of unconditional and infinite 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.

Today is the tenth anniversary of the passing into larger life of Carla Lisbeth Rueckert, and in her memory I would like to share with my readers the eulogy that I gave at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church here in Anchorage, Kentucky on April 17th, 2015. Carla said that she wanted to wait until about three weeks after she had left her body to have her funeral because she wanted friends and relatives who might be living a long distance from Anchorage to have a chance to attend her funeral.

Carla Lisbeth Rueckert-McCarty was born on July 16, 1943, in Lake Forest, IL. Carla was a child prodigy. At the age of 3 she could read the newspaper, speak French, and read music. She would have started singing in the adult church choir then, but she wasn’t strong enough to hold the Hymnal all the way through the processional, until the next year when she was four years old. She was also the friendliest little girl her mother had ever seen. When they took the bus to go downtown and shop, little Carla would wander up and down the aisle speaking to everyone who was on the bus. She did not know a stranger. Her mother was mortified.

Carla’s mother was a teacher and enjoyed working with her very intelligent child before school teachers got their hands on her mind. Her mother wanted to explore the world through her child’s eyes, and so she asked Carla to write her thoughts down in response to the question “Who are you?” So, five-year old Carla sat down and, in her childish printing, wrote down that she was a girl, and a daughter, that she was a member of society, a citizen of the world, and she was a child of the Creator.

When she was born her left eye was pointed at her brow, and it was about a year later when surgery was able to correct the defect, and then she started wearing glasses. A fascinating experience occurred because she had to wear glasses at such an early age. One day, when she was 2 years old, and when it was time for her to take her afternoon nap, her mother put her in her crib next to the window and closed the Venetian blinds. Before she went to sleep, Carla took her glasses off and put them between the blinds which were drawn for her nap. Then she laid down and saw that there was light coming through the slit in the Venetian blinds. When it went through her glasses it made a beam of light that she was able to use to slide out of her body and go to what seemed like a magic forest. The animals would communicate with her, colors were more vivid, and when she went to the center of the forest, there she would see Jesus. He didn’t look like the paintings you usually see. His hair was long, matted, and dusty from the road. His robe was dusty too, and he never spoke a word. But when he held her hand and looked into her eyes, she immediately knew what unconditional love was. This experience occurred many times over the next few years. When she was five years old, she told her mom and dad about the experience, and they told her that it was not real. It was in her mind. That she had made it up. So, the experience never happened again. But her devotion to Jesus as her Lord and Savior began then and never wavered throughout her life. And from that point on, love would become her way of looking at the world. Those two parts of this experience never changed for her.

Because of Carla’s intelligence her mom and dad gave her more responsibilities at an early age than most kids would ever have. She babysat her younger brother, Jimmy, when she was only 7 years old. When she was 10, she cooked for the family even though she had to stand on a chair to reach the stove top. Her mom and dad felt that with her high intelligence, she should be pushed to excel more by constructive criticism than by being given praise. So, by the age of 13 she believed that she was a failure, and she prayed to die because she felt that she could not be of service. Since her meeting with Jesus, service to others was the way that she believed that she could express the love that she had felt from Him. And if she couldn’t serve as Jesus had inspired her to do, then she wanted to die. Six months later her kidneys failed, and she had a NDE. She again went to a place where the animals communicated with her. She could see music in the air. A rose twined around her arm, and just over the hill she could see the top of a temple. She knew that her spiritual family and friends were in the temple and waiting for her. But as she proceeded up the hill a clear and heavenly voice told her that it was not her time. It said that she had chosen a great deal to learn in her life, and perhaps she should make another plan that would use another childhood and split the load between two lifetimes. Carla couldn’t stand the thought of having to go through another childhood, so she said that she would go back and complete this life. And immediately she was back in her body, which was racked with pain, and there was a circle of doctors’ and nurses’ faces gathered over her. She chose a hard road in coming back because it offered more chances to serve others, and so she did.

When she graduated from the MacDuffie High School for Girls in Springfield, MA, her test scores were so high that she was offered scholarships from all the Ivy League schools and the Seven Sisters Schools as well. But when she went to Wellesley to see the school, she couldn’t believe how disgusting and preppy the parties were that were used to recruit prized students. So, she returned home to attend the University of Louisville, much to the chagrin of her mom and dad.

Again, because of her high test scores, she was admitted to the University as a junior, under a program that was used only for a couple of years. Her great love in college was philosophy. She was a natural-born philosopher, so one of the first courses she took was a graduate level course in Ethics. After about two weeks of class lectures on various philosophers, the professor gave the first assignment. He said that they had talked about a number of philosophies in the first two weeks, but now he wanted them to write original philosophy on the topic of their choice. He didn’t want to hear any other philosopher quoted back to him. He wanted their original work.

So, Carla went home, got out her 8.5 X 11-inch, yellow legal pad, and her pencil, and wrote on the topic of free will. She filled the front of the sheet, turned it over and wrote halfway down the back side. When she went back to the next class to hand the paper in, she was somewhat shaken when she saw that her classmates, graduate students all, were handing in 20-, 30-, and 40-page type-written papers. She thought maybe she had made an error. When the students came back to class the next week, the professor walked around the room and handed each student his or her paper, and gave out the grade at the same time. D, F, C, D, etc. until all the papers were handed back, except Carla didn’t get her paper back. Then he said, “I gave one A on this assignment, and I’m going to read you the paper”. Then he proceeded to read her page and a half paper on the topic of free will. Then he said, “Now that is original philosophy. That is what I was looking for.”

Just before she got her degree from the University of Louisville she began dating a fellow who said that she was such a sweet little girl, that he wanted to take care of her, because she really didn’t know what the world was like. He told her that it was a rough and mean place, and that she needed protection in order to be safe. That idea upset Carla greatly. She was sure that if you treated people with love, they would treat you with love. So, to test that belief, she dropped out of the University and got a job at a sleazy nightclub in downtown Louisville called The Shack. It was a popular hangout for gamblers, numbers runners, pimps, and prostitutes. Her dad was an engineer by day and a jazz drummer by night, and he convinced the owner to give Carla a job, even though she wouldn’t be a pro like the other girls she would be working with. When guys would ask her for a date, she would politely tell them that she wasn’t a pro, but she could get one of the other girls to go out with them. Or she might just listen to their problems, and give them reassurance and advice. The Shack had live music, and when the band would take a break Carla would get up on the stage and sing folk songs a Capella. She became much beloved, and that was demonstrated one day in a potentially dangerous way. A stranger came into the bar and asked her for a date. She told him that she wasn’t a pro, but that she could get him a date with one of the other girls. But he wouldn’t let her go, and he began giving her a hard time. And then the whole place went silent. You could have heard a pin drop. And then what she did hear, was a beer bottle breaking across the room, and then another, and another. Her friends were about to defend her, but the intruder wisely decided to call it a day and quickly left. For Carla that was validation of her belief that if you gave love, you got love back, even if it came in the form of a broken beer bottle.

Her first husband, who was known as Dee, was the student of a professor who would become central in Carla’s life. Don Elkins was a professor of physics at the University of Louisville, and Dee was taking intro to physics from him. In his off-time Don was in the process of starting a meditation group and invited Dee and 11 of his classmates, to be part of it. Dee asked if he could bring his girlfriend along. Don said, “Sure”. After four years, seven mistresses, and after leaving Carla four times, Dee eventually asked Carla for a divorce, which she happily granted. So, when she went back to the meditation group she began to spend time with Don, and he eventually moved in with her. When Don told her that he knew that they were going be together after meeting her for the first time she asked him why he didn’t tell her that before she married Dee, and Don said, “I knew that you would get a lot of good catalyst and grow from it.” To which Carla replied, “Thanks a lot!”

From that point on she began to work for Don as he was a physics professor by day only. On his own time he was very interested in UFOs and the general field of the paranormal, and he needed someone like Carla that could read the existing literature in the field, take notes, and then compare them to the material that he had collected since the mid-50s. Don was also a pilot, and would fly to different parts of the country to investigate close encounters and reports of abduction. Carla would fly along and take notes. They eventually wrote a book called SECRETS OF THE UFO, which was published in 1977, and it is still considered one of the best in the field.

I met Don and Carla in the fall of 1979, when I was living in the woods of central Kentucky, and was part of a food buying co-op that met monthly to place orders. I had recently heard Don and Carla interviewed on WKQQ radio in Lexington, KY. The topic was UFOs, and I was very interested in meeting these two folks. Later, I discovered, at one of our food co-op meetings, that there was a group of folks living on the other side of the county who knew Don and Carla. They invited me to attend one of Don and Carla’s Sunday meditations that they held in their apartment on Douglass Blvd., here in Louisville. Don and Carla warmly welcomed me to their meditation, and afterward we talked some, and I asked if it would be OK for me to attend the meditations regularly. So, for the next year I drove from Marion County to Louisville on Sundays to meditate with Don and Carla.

Eventually I helped them move from their apartment on Douglass Blvd. to a house on Watterson Trail, in Jeffersontown, where we would soon live together and join our efforts in pursuing their work in meditation, philosophy, metaphysics, and channeling.

Carla had a gift that is sometimes called mediumship or channeling. She could contact intelligent sources of love and inspiration that some people call aliens and others angels. Carla’s real gift though was the discernment of spirits. Whenever we meditated and an unseen spirit wished to speak through her she would always challenge that spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior. If the unseen spirit could not say that “Jesus is Lord” Carla would not allow the entity to speak through her.

Throughout her life as a Christian mystic, who had this ability to discern spirits, she always asked her priest to look at her work and let her know if he thought it was acceptable. The first priest she asked this question of was Bishop Marmion. He realized that she was serving people who did not go to church, and so he said to her “Your work is based on giving and receiving love whether it’s done in a church or not. You are Christ to these people. You are their contact with His love. Treat them as sheep of His flock”.

Eventually Carla, Don Elkins, and I were involved in what came to be called the Law of One, or the Ra contact. We completed 106 sessions of this channeled contact, which is the work for which Carla is best known around the world. After Don Elkins died in 1984, Carla and I continued the work of L/L Research with weekly Sunday meditations, further channeling, speaking engagements around the country, and Carla also offered herself as a counselor to those who had questions about their life’s path and how they might be aided by the information that we had been privileged to make available.

All totaled, Carla either authored or channeled over a dozen books during her life, counseled hundreds of seekers of truth, spoke to thousands of people at spiritual gatherings, and in everything that she did, she happily and naturally shared her love of life, and her love of people. In 1987, she and I were married in Calvary Episcopal Church. We were married for 28 years, and together for 35.

Her last five years were spent mostly in a hospital bed at home, attempting to recover from back surgery. Though she experienced a great deal of pain and limitation, she never complained even once about her situation. She faced all of her life with love and a happy heart that she freely shared with all who came her way. She saw all people as souls, no matter the outer behavior, full of love in their true selves, and she loved them without reservation, without limit, and with all her being, for love was the greatest quality that she could channel through her wide-open heart.

The greatest love of her life was Jesus Christ and her spiritual family that lives all over the world and especially here at St. Luke’s. For over a decade she has been a part of the parish of this wonderful church. For the last five years of her life, she was unable to attend in person, but she always felt that she was here in spirit sharing her love for each person within the walls of this family church. She was so grateful to Caroline Edelman for bringing her weekly communion that fed her soul. She chose every part of this memorial service as a means by which to glorify God, in the passing of her earthly life, and as a reaffirmation of her belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and her personal savior. She was truly the love of my life, and I think about her every day.

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

April 1

Cost And Fruit

I am of the principle of the consciousness of divine Love, and I greet you in radiant joy.

It is the season of Easter, the time when Jesus’ emergence from the Earth is held in remembrance and His ascent therefrom rejoiced at. Now is the season of blooming, for just as Jesus grew like a flower from the Earth, so too may we see in each flower that resurrection glory.

In this season may you find much to rejoice at, never regretting the cost of winter but glorying instead in the fullness and promise of spring. Such are the cycles of eternal life. The cycles contain different kinds of blooming and different kinds of growing, but always the pulse of cost and fruit.

We leave you in the peaceful harmony of Jesus the Christ, 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 26, 2006:

Question chosen by PLW: Tell us about the evolution of the tribes on Earth beginning with late second density and early third density times.

(Carla channeling)

We are the principle known to you as Q’uo. We greet you through this instrument in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. It is in this Creator’s service that we come to you this day. We thank you for the privilege of being called to your circle of seeking. We are most glad to share our thoughts with you on the subject of the tribes of Earth. Before we begin, we would ask a favor of you. Please listen carefully to what we have to say, using your powers of discrimination in order to decide what is for you and what is not. If something resonates to you, please, by all means use it. If that which we have to say does not seem helpful to you, we ask you to leave it and move on. Be very careful about what you accept into the web of your thinking, feeling, and actions. You create your own universe by what you pay attention to and use. Create the universe that is dear to your heart, that inspires your soul and that lifts you until you are soaring, for that is your nature. You need to become passionately engaged and enthusiastic about the creation of which you are a part. And you can do that by the choice of that to which you pay attention. We thank you for this great kindness in listening to us, for it will allow us to speak our thoughts freely.

Howprecious each of you is to us as we rest with you in the circle of your vibrations and how precious as well is every member of the tribe of humankind on planet Earth! We thank you for asking us about the tribes of Earth. In truth, your query is not one about which we have a great deal of information to share. We can affirm that there were indeed tribes of late second-density entities here before that point at which the Earth itself, as a planet, became able to support the kind of vibratory energy field that would be a good environment for a self-aware being such as you are. Therefore, if we go back before Lemuria and Atlantis on planet Earth, we are talking about late second-density beings which were striving for third-density graduation.

They were doing so very successfully at the very end of a long second-density period that had moved through geological ages such as your ice age and back beyond that quite a ways in your planetary history. These were entities of what this entity would call the great ape family. These entities were striving towards self-awareness. If you are a person who is owned by a cat or dog, you are aware of the many childlike and humanlike qualities that are encouraged within a pet’s disposition and character as he or she goes through a life of being noticed, listened to, fed, and offered affection. It changes that second-density entity and creates a more obvious likelihood that when such an entity reincarnates, he may have earned the right to choose to incarnate in a third-density physical vehicle. Such was the case with theses entities of various species of the great ape genus. The animals, if you would call them that, which were of the second-density nature certainly had bestial natures. They were not conversing as you would with your friends.

The group question for this session was: “Question chosen by PLW:  Tell us about the evolution of the tribes on Earth beginning with late second density and early third density times.” Q’uo began their reply by saying how precious each of us is to them as they rest with us in the circle of our vibrations, and how precious is every member of the tribe of humankind on planet Earth, and they thanked us for asking them about the tribes of Earth, but our query is not one about which they have much information to share, but they can affirm that there were tribes of late second-density entities here before that point at which the Earth itself became able to support the kind of vibratory energy field that would be a good environment for a self-aware being such as we are, so if they go back before Lemuria and Atlantis on planet Earth, they would be talking about late second-density beings which were striving for third-density graduation. Q’uo went on to say they were doing so well at the end of a long second-density period that had moved through geological ages such as our ice age and back beyond that quite a ways in our planetary history, and these were entities of what Carla would call the great ape family who were striving towards self-awareness, so if we are a person who is owned by a cat or dog, we are aware of the childlike qualities that are encouraged within a pet’s character as it goes through a life of being listened to, fed, and offered affection, and it changes that second-density entity and creates a more obvious likelihood that when such an entity reincarnates, it may have earned the right to choose to incarnate in a third-density body, and such was the case with these entities of various species of the great ape, and the animals which were of the second-density nature had bestial natures, but they were not conversing as we would with our friends. In 20.3-.4, Ra speaks of how second density animals can become third density beings:

Questioner: So more and more second-density entities are making it into third density. Can you give me an example of a second-density entity coming into third density, say, in the recent past?

Ra: I am Ra. Perhaps the most common occurrence of second-density graduation during third-density cycle is the so-called pet.

The animal which is exposed to the individualizing influences of the bond between animal and third-density entity, this individuation causes a sharp rise in the potential of the second-density entity so that upon the cessation of physical complex the mind/body complex does not return unto the undifferentiated consciousness of that species, if you will.

Questioner: Then can you give me an example of an entity in third density that was just previously a second-density entity? What type of entity do they become here?

Ra: I am Ra. As a second-density entity returns as third-density for the beginning of this process of learning, the entity is equipped with the lowest, if you will so call these vibrational distortions, forms of third-density consciousness; that is, equipped with self-consciousness.

However, they were developing means of communication with each other, starting with their second-density ability to sense into the truth of what is. That is the unique advantage of being a second-density entity rather than a third-density entity. Second-density entities such as the great apes had, and continue to have, a greatly enhanced ability to know the truth. That is, there is not a veil of forgetting between the conscious mind and the reaches of the racial mind, the planetary mind, the archetypical mind, and the Creator’s mind. All of these noumenal, unknowable reaches of mind that are sought so eagerly by third-density entities were available without effort to the tribes of Earth before third density began to unroll its scroll of history. These entities attempted to deal with each other and did so in the way of second-density entities, by creating territories which were theirs and common territories between tribal territories where they could all hunt. Therefore, there were the rudiments of communication, government and society.

Therefore, rather than calling for entities such as we, the call was immediate and moved into the earth, sky, water, and the fire, the plants and the animals which shared its environment and the Creator herself. In late second density, the Creator was seen to be a feminine character as females give birth to everything that exists. Our experience with the tribes of Earth, indeed, does begin with Lemuria and Atlantis. Consequently, this is the sum of that about which we can speak concerning those tribes that danced the dance of late second density upon planet Earth and prepared the ground for the density of choice that was to come.

Then Q’uo said they were developing means of communication with each other, starting with their second-density ability to sense into the truth of what is which is the unique advantage of being a second-density entity rather than a third-density entity, so second-density entities such as the great apes have an enhanced ability to know the truth since there is no veil of forgetting between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, and all of these unknowable reaches of mind that are sought by third-density entities were available without effort to the tribes of Earth before third density began to unroll its scroll of history, and these entities related with each other by creating territories which were theirs and common territories between tribal territories where they could all hunt, so there were the basics of communication, government, and society. Q’uo went on to say rather than calling for entities such as we, the call was immediate and moved into the earth, sky, water, and the fire, the plants, and the animals which shared their environment and the Creator, and in late second density the Creator was seen to be a feminine character as females give birth to everything that exists, so our experience with the tribes of Earth begins with Lemuria and Atlantis so that this is all that they can speak of concerning those tribes that danced the dance of late second density upon planet Earth and prepared the ground for the density of choice that was to come. On April 18, 2004, Q’uo spoke of how the late second density experience prepared the ground for the third density of choice:

Often the Confederation channels with which this group has long been associated have called third density the density of choice. It is a vivid, intense, rather brief period, in cosmic terms, during which an entity, as the question suggests, moves in consciousness from the consciousness of late second-density life-forms, such as your predecessor, the great ape, to the nascent life-form of an entity with a fourth-density body and fourth-density lessons to learn. In between that second-density experience of the animal kingdom and the vegetable and mineral worlds, and the experience of the density of love or understanding or compassion, lies the density of choice. That is the experience within which you are immersed at this time.

Is there a follow-up query at this time, my friends? We are those of Q’uo.

J: Did these second-density entities become third-density entities that again formed in tribes and behaved as mind/body/spirit complexes?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. In essence, you are correct. The story, however, is a bit more tangled than it would appear. As third-density conditions become prevalent on planet Earth, beings with this body type of the great ape continued to incarnate and live lives that were of a nature of a tribe or clan, seemingly unchanged from second density. However, the light of third density is that Light which supports and encourages the development of the spirit complex. The probable course of development of these Earth-native entities that were now ensouled as they came into incarnation but dwelling in these particular bodies is unknown, for that evolutionary line was interrupted by those who felt it would be helpful to offer the third-density entities of planet Earth a much improved physical vehicle, one in which the jaw was manipulated in order that speech was more possible more easily, and one in which an upright posture was more possible.

To the adjustments to the body were added adjustments made to the mind complex in order to sharpen mental acuity. This experiment, shall we say, interrupted the normal course of evolution. In a way it accelerated that evolution by making it far more possible for the body types of what you now are aware of as your human form to do the work of third-density entities. They were more able to make tools. They were able to think about the tools they made and to make changes to make them better. However, the natural course of the development of the great ape into third density is one in which peaceful means of resolving disputes is valued almost to the exclusion of open hostility. There is a knowledge, shall we say, that is the carry-over from the awareness of late second-density of how things are. This territory is for group A, this territory is for group B, and so on. There is a natural tendency in entities with this genetic heritage to find peaceful means of resolving differences of opinion.

As the advantages mounted, in the newfangled genetically adjusted human being, this type of being began to feel not at all humble, but rather begin to be filled with the arrogance of that concept that is almost unknown within tribal societies, the feeling of arrogance, that feeling that not only do you have a place in nature, but that you may take whatever place you can defend and make it your own. The changes wrought by entities which were truly innocent of intention to do evil or to wreak negative consequences became that which was judged by the so-called Council of Nine as a disaster. There have been attempts made, ever since these genetic adjustments were offered to the tribe of planet Earth’s humans, to make amends, to rebalance that which was done without awareness of the quite substantially difficult consequences of these changes.

J’s question was: “Did these second-density entities become third-density entities that again formed in tribes and behaved as mind/body/spirit complexes?” Q’uo began by saying in essence, you are correct, but the story is more tangled than it would appear because as third-density conditions become prevalent on planet Earth, beings with this body type of the great ape continued to incarnate and live lives that were of a nature of a tribe and seemingly unchanged from second density, but the Light of third density is that Light which encourages the development of the spirit complex, and the development of these Earth-native entities that were now ensouled as they came into incarnation but dwelling in these particular bodies is unknown, for that evolutionary line was interrupted by those who felt it would be helpful to offer the third-density entities of planet Earth an improved physical vehicle, one in which the jaw was manipulated in order that speech was more possible, and one in which an upright posture was possible. Q’uo went on to say that to the adjustments to the body were added to adjustments made to the mind complex in order to sharpen mental acuity, and this experiment interrupted the normal course of evolution by making it possible for the body types of what you now are aware of as your human form to do the work of third-density entities by being able to make tools, and to be able to think about the tools they made and to make them better, but the natural course of the development of the great ape into third density is one in which peaceful means of resolving disputes is valued almost to the exclusion of open hostility, and there is knowledge that is the carry-over from the awareness of late second-density of how things are where this territory is for group A, and this territory is for group B, so there is a natural tendency in entities with this genetic heritage to find peaceful means of resolving differences of opinion. Q’uo completed their reply by saying as the advantages mounted, in the genetically adjusted human being, this type of being began to be filled with that concept that is almost unknown within tribal societies, the feeling of arrogance, that feeling that not only do you have a place in nature, but that you may take whatever place you can defend and make it your own, and the changes wrought by entities which were truly innocent of intention to do evil became that which was judged by the Council of Nine as a disaster so that there have been attempts made, ever since these genetic adjustments were offered to the tribe of planet Earth’s humans, to rebalance that which was done without awareness of the substantially difficult consequences of these changes. In 7.9, Ra gave a general description of the Council of Nine:

Questioner: I have a question here, I believe, about that Council from Jim. Who are the members, and how does the Council function?

Ra: I am Ra. The members of the Council are representatives from the Confederation and from those vibratory levels of your inner planes bearing responsibility for your third density. The names are not important because there are no names. Your mind/body/spirit complexes request names and so, in many cases, the vibratory sound complexes which are consonant with the vibratory distortions of each entity are used. However, the name concept is not part of the Council. If names are requested, we will attempt them. However, not all have chosen names.

In number, the Council that sits in constant session, though varying in its members by means of balancing, which takes place, what you would call irregularly, is nine. That is the Session Council. To back up this Council, there are twenty-four entities which offer their services as requested. These entities faithfully watch and have been called the Guardians.

The Council operates by means of, what you would call, telepathic contact with the oneness or unity of the nine, the distortions blending harmoniously so that the Law of One prevails with ease. When a need for thought is present, the Council retains the distortion-complex of this need, balancing it as described, and then recommends what it considers as appropriate action. This includes: One, the duty of admitting social memory complexes to the Confederation; Two, offering aid to those who are unsure how to aid the social memory complex requesting aid in a way consonant with both the call, the Law, and the number of those calling (that is to say, sometimes the resistance of the call); Three, internal questions in the Council are determined.

These are the prominent duties of the Council. They are, if in any doubt, able to contact the twenty-four who then offer consensus/judgment/thinking to the Council. The Council then may reconsider any question.

May we answer you further, my brother?

J: [Inaudible]

We are those of Q’uo, and fear that this instrument’s ears did not catch your question. Could you please restate your question. We are those of Q’uo.

J: At some point, this second-density tribal group of entities, Earth’s first third-density group, was joined by populations from other third-density planets that failed to make harvest to fourth density. Ra mentioned that sixteen other planets had given their populations to Earth when they had their harvest to fourth density and the populations did not make it to fourth density. So, they came to Earth to repeat the cycle. Was this second-density tribal group able to keep its identity throughout the third-density cycle of Earth, to live together and evolve together? I’m wondering if the second-density group of entities that you spoke about was able to evolve, on Earth, in the third density, as a group, or were they assimilated into other groups?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The second-density great ape bodies, when compared with the second-density genetically altered bodies that were available for use in the natural flow of the reproductive cycle, were seen by those entities who were coming into third-density Earth and taking form to complete their third-density cycle, to be the model which was more highly developed and easier to use, to the extent that the second-density bodies did not receive ensouled beings and simply reverted to being second-density animals carrying second-density souls, or rather mind/body complexes, as this instrument would call them, to differentiate them from mind/body/spirit complexes, which are the ensouled third-density type.

May we answer you further, my brother?

J: No, thank you.

We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there a final query before we leave this instrument?

S: There was, I’ve read, one civilization called Ur that was highly evolved before the Atlantean and Lemurian times. Do you have any insights or information on this civilization?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We find that our only awareness of the civilization which you call Ur is that in this instrument’s mind. In this instrument’s mind there is the information that this was an entity, or tribe, of people in the Middle East. This, however, to the best of our understanding, was a third-density civilization and society that pre-dated the height of, say, the Egyptians with which this instrument is familiar, that being the Egypt of Akhenaton, Tutankhamen, and Amenhotep. It did not pre-date the third density. If there was an advanced civilization on Earth before third density, we are not aware of it, and we simply cannot share any information on that subject. We are sorry, my brother, for our lack of information.

We thank this group and this instrument for the blessing of companionship and the privilege of sharing the beauty of your beings. It has been a pleasure. We are those of Q’uo, and we leave you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. May the oneness of all that is penetrate your isolation within the illusion. May you know, as the early tribes knew, and as you shall know in fourth density once again, by faith alone, that all is one, and that you are a perfect part of the perfect dance that will unfold every mystery to you as you move through the steps that lead to infinity and eternity. Adonai. Adonai. We are those of Q’uo.

This morning I went outside and drained half of the water out of the fishpond, and then I cleaned the filters for the fountain with the sprayer on my garden hose. Then I fertilized the water lilies. As the water was refilling the fishpond I went around my yard and picked up most of the branches that fell during last night’s thunderstorm. When the pond was refilled with water I threw in about half a cup of Aquasafe to neutralize the chlorine in the water.

This afternoon I went back outside and picked up the rest of the larger limbs that fell during the rainstorm last night. Then I went across the road to my neighbor’s yard and threw bird seed on the ground under the bird feeders for the deer and squirrels.

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

March 31

The Messenger Of Love

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

I greet you as a messenger sent out before the dawn of each thought in the mind.

I greet you as a new beginning in every moment of the day.

I greet you around trick corners and sudden hurdles. Reach for the arms of comfort in times of distress, for we are there.

We are the principle of Love, and as you speak to us of Love, we come to you with Love. And as our comfort is sweet to you, so is your heart to the Creator, the Father of all things. And so, you have the opportunity at each and every dawning to become one with God in Christ through the grace of the Spirit of Love.

We leave you in the peace and joy which are yours to experience through the birthright of Christ, both 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.

2025-03-30

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 6, 2006:

Question from E: Carl Jung’s book, Personality Types, which was published in 1929, and Kathryn Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers’ subsequent development of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® personality preferences of Extraversion or Introversion, Sensing or iNtuition, Thinking or Feeling, and Judging or Perceiving are used to describe sixteen different personality types. I believe that the sixteen MBTI personality types are indicative of the personality shells referred to by Q’uo in prior meditations. Can you confirm this? Would you offer any comments that you feel might be helpful in this issue?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you this day. We thank the one known as E for calling this circle of seeking together. It is a privilege to join the circle. We thank you for the beauty of your beings and for the energy and will that it takes to create this kind of moment where a circle of seeking may be called. It is our privilege to speak with you. We will attempt to share our opinions with you as we can.

Please be aware, as always, that we very much hope that you will use the utmost discrimination in listening to what we have to say. Work with any thoughts that may appeal to you but if there is any question in your mind as to the opinion that we offer, then we would suggest that you put it aside without a second thought. For you are not well-advised to follow the authority of anyone. Rather, you are well-advised to follow the resonance of your own discrimination, to pick up those things which seem good to you and to leave behind those things which do not. We thank you for this consideration. It will enable us to speak freely without being concerned that we will infringe upon your free will or interfere with your process.

The phrase, “personality shell,” is one which we have encouraged this instrument to use without ever having, to our knowledge, made a careful attempt at defining precisely in what a personality shell may consist. We gather that your request is aimed at discovering more about this term, personality shell, especially as it may resemble the sixteen types of the personality traits in combination that the Myers-Briggs test offers as its sixteen ways of describing various personality types. We may say that there is a rough correspondence between the phrase, personality shell, and the general concept of the MBTI test. Indeed, any of your tests designed to differentiate between different types of ways that entities process information and come to decisions fulfills the rough designation of an examination of the personality shell. However, there is no more than a rough correspondence for the reason that a personality shell is the entire structure of an entity, whereas tests test certain aspects of a personality that seem to be helpful to measure.

When we use the phrase, personality shell, the attempt to measure the personality is not present in our use of that word. To us, the term, personality shell, is indicative of a loose collection of items that have been selected from the 360 degrees of your infinite or eternal soul or spirit. You have experienced many things through many incarnations. You have gained in life experiences and in the long list of deeds well-done and those deeds which upon reflection after incarnation you have decided to revisit in future incarnations. These make up the whole of what we have before called that suitcase full of gifts and limitations which you have chosen as your garments, shall we say, for the dressing of your personality in this incarnation.

Theways that the Myers-Briggs test looks at characteristics of a personality can be seen to be extremely helpful, as the one known as E has said, for determining in a short amount of time a substantive and sturdy bit of information that offers keys to the entity who has taken such a test. It is not the view that we see when we gaze at the personality shell of an entity because, as we said, we do not measure in the same way. We see into each entity’s surface mind and down into that mind to the extent that we are allowed and that we are able. Those are two separate qualifications. In the first place, some entities have extremely closely-controlled minds, and they have spent a certain amount of time defending their territory or energy field, which the consciousness or the thinking of that being has created.

Most entities among your people are not well-defended in terms of their thoughts and the structure of their personality, and therefore they are fairly transparent to those such as we who see or sense into the qualities of the various combinations of energies that make up your energy pattern. You might see this in terms of colors and shapes. We certainly do. We do not have to analyze or think about what we see because we are used to viewing energies in this way as pure vibration, and, therefore, it is second nature to us to see you in this way, whereas it is more difficult for us to enter into your language and to find specific information within your minds.

E’s question: “I believe that the sixteen MBTI personality types are indicative of the personality shells referred to by Q’uo in prior meditations. Can you confirm this? Would you offer any comments that you feel might be helpful in this issue?” Q’uo began by saying the phrase, personality shell, is one which we have encouraged Carla to use without ever having made a careful attempt at defining what a personality shell may consist of, and we gather that this request is aimed at discovering more about this term as it may resemble the sixteen types of the personality traits in combination that the Myers-Briggs test offers as its sixteen ways of describing various personality types, and we may say that there is a correspondence between the phrase, personality shell, and the general concept of the MBTI test, so any of the tests designed to differentiate between different types of ways that we process information and come to decisions fulfills the rough designation of an examination of the personality shell, but there is no more than a rough correspondence for the reason that a personality shell is the entire structure of an entity, whereas tests test certain aspects of a personality that seem to be helpful to measure. Q’uo continued by saying when they use the phrase, personality shell, the attempt to measure the personality is not present in their use of that word because to them personality shell indicates a loose collection of items that have been selected from the 360 degrees of our infinite spirit, and we have experienced many things through many incarnations and have gained in life experiences and in the list of deeds well-done and those deeds which, upon reflection after incarnation, we have decided to revisit in future incarnations, so these make up what we have called that suitcase full of gifts and limitations which we have chosen as our garments for the dressing of our personality in this incarnation. Q’uo went on to say the ways that the Myers-Briggs test looks at characteristics of a personality can be seen to be helpful for determining a sturdy bit of information that offers keys to us when we have taken such a test, but it is not the view that Q’uo sees when they gaze at our personality shell because they do not measure in the same way, so they see into our surface mind and down into that mind to the extent that they are allowed and are able, and those are two separate qualifications where some of us have closely-controlled minds, and we have spent a certain amount of time defending our territory which our consciousness has created. Then Q’uo said most of us are not well-defended in terms of our thoughts and the structure of our personality, so we are transparent to Q’uo who sense into the qualities of the various combinations of energies that make up our energy pattern, and we might see this in terms of colors and shapes, but they do not have to think about what they see because they are used to viewing energies in this way as pure vibration, and it is second nature for them to see us in this way, whereas it is more difficult for them to enter into our language and to find specific information within our minds. On May 1, 1994, Q’uo described the nature of our pure vibration:

Each entity vibrates within a certain range, this basic vibration is as a—we correct this instrument—each entity is an unique vibratory signature. It vibrates as it is, completely whole and completely clear no matter what muddle you may feel you are in. That basic vibration is completely identifiable as you and only you. This vibration, this basic signature is that which you are attempting to affect by the way you live your life and the lessons—we correct this instrument—the way you live your life and the way you concern yourself and deal with the lessons of love you encounter along the King’s Highway, as this instrument would put it. By choosing again and again to serve others, by choosing to seek the Creator in the self, in others, in creation, and in the center of the being, you attempt to affect the narrowing of the gap between your vibratory signature and the basic pure vibration which created all things, that infinite Creator’s Thought or Logos of Love.

Wegaze at this question for those items on which we may speak further to you that might be a resource in considering this question of what the personality shell is. We believe that we have expressed the concept that the personality shell, as we use that term, is not only a selection of personality traits such as preferences and ways to acquire information and process information but also includes items that are difficult to categorize to a mind such as we find this instrument to have. She does not grasp how you would characterize or categorize limitations, certain placements of limitation, and so forth. The placement of limitation has a special niche in the personality shell.

Many of those among your peoples in incarnation at this time have placed certain stoppages or limitations that will keep them from moving too far along an extreme towards an end that is not desired by the soul or spirit. An example of this is this instrument’s lifelong dynamic of frail and fragile health. This instrument carefully placed in its personality shell before incarnation a limitation that would come forward whenever this instrument chose, of her own free will, to move into a physical activity to the extent that she was unable to pursue a daily, inner, meditative and contemplative side. When this instrument has in the past developed such an aggressive and ambitious program of physical activity that it has found itself unable to feed its deeper needs in terms of contemplation and meditation, the physical body has simply broken down.

There are entities who have not placed this stoppage in their personality shell because they do not have the personality setup that this instrument created for herself before incarnation. For each entity, there will be a completely different dynamic, undoubtedly a different incarnational balance that needs to be followed and therefore a completely unique way of limiting unwanted activity within the spiritual process. This is the kind of hidden material that a test such as the one known as E has been studying cannot cover and could not be expected ever to cover because of the fact that the means of instrumentation for recording such preferences does not exist, since they are unknown in any conscious way to the entity within incarnation. It would be impossible to gather this information.

Further, the personality shell, as it is brought in at the beginning of incarnation, is organized not in terms of characteristics but in terms of energy center originations. There are some energies that are especially adapted to red ray, some that are adapted to orange ray, some to yellow ray, and so forth, through all of the colors of the various energy centers. In many cases, what seems on the surface to be one characteristic is in actuality an entire octave of characteristics because of the fact that that characteristic coming from red ray is of one coloration, coming from orange ray is of another coloration, and so forth.

Then Q’uo said we gaze at this question for those items on which we may speak further to you that might be a resource in considering this question of what the personality shell is, and we have expressed the concept that the personality shell is not only a selection of personality traits and ways to acquire traits such as preferences, and how to process information, but it also includes items that are difficult to categorize to a mind such as we find Carla to have because she does not grasp how we would categorize placements of limitation, and the placement of limitation has a special position in the personality shell. Q’uo went on to say many of those among our people in incarnation at this time have placed certain limitations that will keep them from moving too far along an extreme path towards an end that is not desired by the spirit, and an example of this is Carla’s lifelong dynamic of fragile health since she carefully placed in her personality shell before incarnation a limitation that would come forward whenever she chose to move into a physical activity to the extent that she was unable to pursue a daily, inner, meditative, and contemplative side, so when she   has in the past developed an ambitious program of physical activity, that she has found herself unable to feed her deeper needs in terms of contemplation and meditation, her physical body has simply broken down. Q’uo continued by saying there are entities who have not placed this stoppage in their personality shell because they do not have the personality setup that Carla created for herself before incarnation, for each entity there will be a different incarnational balance that needs to be followed and a unique way of limiting unwanted activity within the spiritual process, and this is the kind of hidden material that studying could not be expected to cover because of the fact that the means of instrumentation for recording such preferences does not exist since they are unknown in any conscious way to the entity within incarnation, and it would be impossible to gather this information. Now Q’uo said the personality shell, as it is brought in at the beginning of our incarnation, is organized in terms of energy center originations, and there are some energies that are adapted to red ray, some adapted to orange ray, some to yellow ray, and so forth, through all of the colors of the various energy centers, and in many cases, what seems on the surface to be one characteristic is in fact an entire octave of characteristics because that characteristic coming from red ray is of one coloration, the one coming from orange ray is of another coloration, and so forth. On January 15, 2006, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the spiritual process in our lives:

What the process is all about is bringing yourself into a situation in which you have more control over the mechanisms of your being. If left to yourself, your personality shell, which is more or less integrated, will go off on a clumsy gallop, taking you, and the cart, and everything that you want to learn and have to offer in service with it. A great part of the spiritual process is becoming slowly more and more aware of the lightness and the looseness of the situation. It is not a heavy, crushing situation, even though it may seem so. Metaphysically speaking, it is very plastic, pliable situation with which you can work quite a bit, not in terms of how things are playing out in the physical illusion but in terms of how you are processing them and using them in your mind, in your emotions, and in your heart.

May we ask if there is a follow-up query before we move on to your next question, my brother? We are those of the Q’uo.

E: No, thank you, Q’uo, I understand your words.

Jim: [Reading from E’s questions.] “Second question: I believe that the various paths of spiritual growth identified by Sandra Krebs Hirsh and Jane Kise’s book, Looking at Type and Spirituality, are indicative of the various paths to spiritual growth and possibility evolution for our personality shells. Can you confirm this?”

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Because this study is a portion of your active process at this time, we are not able to infringe upon your own judgment by making a judgment of our own. We would simply say that we feel that all of the study that you have engaged yourself in doing has been helpful in your process and we would encourage you to continue searching and seeking for the truth within the folds of the illusions which reveal and yet conceal so much of the infinity of the human whole in potentiation.

May we ask if there is another query at this time?

E: I can understand how this would be helpful to me to continue the study, but would it be helpful to others?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We believe that, in general, a careful and thoughtful consideration of the nature of the self is always healthful and helpful in the outworking of a spiritual process within incarnation. We find that, depending upon the nature of the central core of the personality, shall we say, and, further, the nature of the training of the mind of that entity in terms of intellectual training, the information involved in the study of psychological types is very variable in its helpfulness. To one kind of person, looking at the self in genuine pondering, musing, and questioning, such information is powerful material and conducive to helpful reflection. We find that in other cases, there is almost no interest in this kind of information because the entity who is working through the study of his or herself is looking at the self from a non-materialistic way.

Ingeneral, those who work analytically and mentally will find the study of psychology and psychological types to be far more helpful than those who are what this instrument would call mystics or spiritual students of the kind that this instrument would call chelas, under the guidance of a guru or teacher. For those who are focused on a guru or a beloved teacher of some kind, the only truly helpful information involving personality is that information given by the very being or presence of the teacher. Caught within the unspoken wholeness of this entity’s presence lies the entire whole of the information that is interesting to that type of personality.

To move to the extreme of this type of personality, there is an entity such as this instrument which does not accept any guru or teacher except the Creator Itself, in the guise of the Christ, which this instrument has come to know not only from its culture and its religious training but from personal experience. Whether an entity is of the type, such as this instrument, who puts a face on the Creator or whether an entity which is of the mystical type is of that type of personality which does not require any personal information in order to be devoted to the infinite Creator, the Creator Itself is the image, the icon, and the entire information database, shall we say, that such a mystical person needs in order to investigate the self. On the one hand, an analytical entity is moving into pondering itself as a self, possibly a Creator. On the other hand, a mystical entity of a non-analytical type is moving into the self from the energy of the Creator, moving or reaching up into that area which is called the gateway to intelligent infinity, which in terms of the physical body is placed at the top of the head and is generally called the eighth chakra or the crown chakra.

The call, then, is from the Creator downward and the entity is pulling into the self that knowing that moves beyond all analysis. It is to this type of entity that information will come in a conceptual form rather than in an analyzable form. The beauty of this kind of personality in terms of receiving information of a helpful, spiritual nature is that it is received in relatively intact form. The limitation of this kind of information is that it is difficult to translate into words, and therefore it is difficult in some cases to analyze in such a way that one may see the composite parts of the structure of thought that are involved in the concept.

Similarly, the value of analysis and measurement is that it is very clear and offers substantive information that can be picked up and used in third density. It fits language and it works in the space/time continuum, in consensus reality. The limitation of moving from analysis, study, and research into a knowledge of the self is that it will forever escape the reach of analysis to comprehend or “feel” into the texture and the sense of self that comes from an acceptance of the self as part of the Creator, and, therefore, an acceptance of the whole of the self without understanding the way that that whole can be analyzed or divided up in the most skillful or intelligent manner.

E: I can understand how this would be helpful to me to continue the study, but would it be helpful to others? Q’uo began by saying they believe that a careful consideration of the nature of our self is always helpful in the outworking of a spiritual process within incarnation, and they find that, depending upon the nature of the central core of the personality and the nature of the training of our mind in terms of intellectual training, the information involved in the study of psychological types is variable in its helpfulness because to one kind of person, looking at the self in genuine questioning, such information is powerful and aids us in helpful reflection, so Q’uo said in other cases there is almost no interest in this kind of information because the entity who is working through the study of his or herself is looking at the self from a non-materialistic way. Q’uo continued by saying those who work analytically will find the study of psychological types to be far more helpful than those who are what Carla would call spiritual students of the kind that she would call chelas, under the guidance of a guru, for those who are focused on a guru, the only truly helpful information involving personality is that information given by the teacher because caught within the unspoken wholeness of the teacher’s presence lies the information that is interesting to that type of spiritual student.

Q’uo completed their reply by saying the value of analysis is that it is very clear and offers substantive information that can be picked up and used in third density, and it works in the space/time continuum, but the limitation of moving from analysis and research into a knowledge of the self is that it will forever escape the reach of analysis to comprehend the sense of self that comes from an acceptance of the self as part of the Creator, and an acceptance of the whole of the self without understanding the way that that whole can be analyzed in the most intelligent manner. On December 29, 2007, Q’uo said that we are all part of the Creator:

One does not have to try to be a part of the Creator. You are the Creator! You are a holographic spark of the Creator, as is every other portion of this interactive and very much alive creation. But you are a holographic sample or bit of the whole.

May we answer you further, my brother?

E: No, Q’uo, I appreciate the examples of the various processes of the seekers. It has helped me understand better.

Jim: [Reading from E’s questions.] “I believe that I am a wanderer and that my son, H, and daughter, M, are wanderers. Can you confirm this? Please offer any comments you feel may be helpful to me to ponder in dealing with this facet of my personal history and those of my family on Earth.”

We are those of the Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We may indeed confirm that each of those whom you have mentioned is a wanderer. As always, when we offer this kind of information, we do wish to seat it in our understanding of what it means at this time to be a wanderer upon planet Earth. Many are the wanderers who have not awakened as they hoped to awaken within the dream of incarnation upon your planet. For those who have not awakened, it means nothing to be a wanderer on the planet Earth. Without the awakening into a realization that there is a larger perspective than the one offered by the culture in which you all are embedded, the usefulness of the knowledge of being a wanderer has not yet taken effect.

Once a wanderer has awakened within that dream of consensus reality and has become aware that he is a child of eternity and that he has come into limitation and finitude for carefully worked-out reasons, then it is helpful to realize that one is a wanderer. It is extremely helpful in that it enables one to deal in a sensible and rational fashion with certain feelings of isolation, abandonment and distaste that are often the concomitant experiences of wanderers who have moved into third density in order to serve and to learn. It is very helpful for entities to realize why they feel out of place on planet Earth. They feel out of place because they have come from elsewhere, and this is in some cases a new experience. In other cases it is not a brand new experience but certainly an experience that does not match those memories of times long past when the vibrations were of a higher density and the conditions of living were more attractive in some ways.

Once an entity becomes aware of the reasons for feelings of alienation and loss it is far easier for that entity to review that which he knows about his estate and to attempt to recover the essence of his determination to make the choice to enter incarnation upon planet Earth. In all cases, this spot of coming into a body on planet Earth at this time was very difficult to obtain. Each entity who wished to serve and learn at this crucial time in your planet’s progress offered itself, its being, its plan of incarnation, and its hope both to learn and to serve. You were given a spot because you were exceptionally well-geared to come into incarnation, to wake up, and to recall your program, and therefore to be able to be a co-creator for the rest of your incarnation in manifesting that which you worked so hard to achieve the opportunity to express.

We would say two things to those who have awakened within incarnation and are now aware of their wanderer nature. Firstly, we would ask you to humble yourself fully, and to realize that you are not from a higher density now. Now, you are natives of planet Earth. You have earned that right by taking a grave risk. You have jumped into third density, shall we say, at the deep end of the pool. There is no guarantee that you will remember, and if you remember there is no guarantee that you can manage to come fully into incarnation. That is the first thing that we encourage wanderers to do. It is very easy to miss higher density experience, and yet that is not why you came. If you wished higher density experience, you would never have left.

You very much yearned to serve at this time. Therefore, we ask you to fully incarnate, to the best of your will and zeal to do so. See the beauty of this environment. See the Creator within your fellow beings, as confused as they are. See the Creator within your own confusion, and forgive yourself for taking a long time, in some cases, to awaken fully. Once you have fully brought yourself down to the earth of Earth, once you have grounded yourself as an Earth native, then the second thing that we would encourage you to do is to rest daily in an open-ended willingness to see into your pattern and your purpose. The full shape of any entity’s life is hidden in that which surrounds the appearance of an incarnational life. There is much of your consciousness that does not move into the light of day but rather continues its work during subconscious and unconscious processes. However, it is given to those who ask to find answers. And if you do not ask, if you do not avail yourself of your guidance, you shall not be able to be visited by those blessed ones who await your requests for guidance and help.

E’s question: “I believe that I am a wanderer and that my son, H, and daughter, M, are wanderers. Can you confirm this? Please offer any comments you feel may be helpful to me to ponder in dealing with this facet of my personal history and those of my family on Earth.” Q’uo began by confirming that each of those who were mentioned is a wanderer, and they wished explain what it means at this time to be a wanderer upon planet Earth because many wanderers have not awakened as they hoped to awaken within the dream of incarnation upon our planet, for those who have not awakened it means nothing to be a wanderer on planet Earth, so that without awakening into a realization that there is a larger perspective than the one offered by the culture in which we are embedded, the usefulness of the knowledge of being a wanderer has not yet taken effect. Q’uo went on to say once we have awakened as a wanderer, and have become aware that we are a child of eternity, and that we have come into limitation for carefully worked-out reasons, then it is helpful to realize that we are a wanderer, and it is helpful in that it enables us to deal in a rational fashion with feelings of isolation and distaste that are often the experiences of wanderers who have moved into third density in order to serve and to learn, so it is helpful for entities to realize we feel out of place because we have come from elsewhere, and this is in some cases a new experience, and in other cases it is not a new experience but an experience that does not match those memories of times long past when the vibrations were of a higher density, and the conditions of living were more attractive. Q’uo continued by saying that once we become aware of the reasons for feelings of alienation it is easier to review that which we know about our situation and to recover the essence of our determination to make the choice to enter incarnation upon planet Earth because in all cases, this time of coming into a body on planet Earth was difficult to obtain, so each entity who wished to serve and learn at this time in our planet’s progress offered its self in hope both to learn and to serve, and we were given a spot because we were prepared to come into incarnation to recall our program, and to be able to be a co-Creator for the rest of our incarnation in manifesting that which we worked so hard to achieve the opportunity to express. Then Q’uo said they would say two things to those of us who have awakened and are now aware of our wanderer nature, and first Q’uo asked us to humble our self, and to realize that we are natives of planet Earth, and we have earned that right by taking a grave risk because we have jumped into third density at the deep end of the pool, and there is no guarantee that we will remember, and if we do remember there is no guarantee that we can manage to come fully into incarnation, so that is the first thing that they encouraged wanderers to do since it is very easy to miss higher density experience, and that is not why we came, but if we wished higher density experience, we would never have left. Q’uo completed their reply by saying we yearned to serve at this time, and Q’uo asked us to incarnate to the best of our will to see the beauty of this environment; to see the Creator within our fellow beings; to see the Creator within our own confusion; and to forgive our self for taking a long time to awaken fully, and once we have brought our self down to the earth of Earth and have grounded our self as an Earth native, then the second thing that Q’uo encouraged us to do is to rest daily in a willingness to see into our purpose since the full shape of our life is hidden in that which surrounds the appearance of an incarnational life so that there is much of our consciousness that does not move into the light of day but continues its work during subconscious processes, but it is given to those who ask to find answers, and if we do not ask of our guidance, we shall not be able to be visited by those blessed ones who await our requests for guidance and help. On September 5, 2010, Carla spoke of the nature of our guidance:

Now the veil makes free will our guide because nothing is known for sure. So, it’s not that we’re completely on our own. We’re most emphatically not on our own. We have our guidance system, and that includes at least three angels, your higher self, and any additional angels that you have attracted to yourself because of your work or the polarity of your basic vibration. And you can have dozens of angels around you.

A lot of people in my Christian tradition also find they have affinities to saints, and you can ask the saints to come along with you and be a part of your guidance system.

Then, looking at nature, you have all of the nature spirits that are ready to dance with you. If you’ve ever focused on the animal life around you may have discovered your totems, certain animals that come when you’re at a choice-point, or you need confirmation on the way you’re thinking.

May we answer you further, my brother?

E: No, Q’uo, thank you for the beauty and perception of your comments. I feel especially moved and ready to implement them.

We are those of Q’uo, and greatly appreciate your comments, my brother. It is a blessing to us to know that some of our comments may have helped in your seeking. That is far more than we could hope, and we are extremely grateful that this has occurred. Is there another query, my brother, before we leave this instrument?

E: No, thank you.

We are those of the Q’uo, and in that case, we will leave this instrument and this group, glorying in the peace and power of the one infinite Creator and resting in Its love and Its light. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I switched out the sheets on my bed from blue ones to the green ones. Then I washed the blue sheets and pillowcases and put them in the dryer. While they were drying, I went upstairs and used a wet mop to clean under my bed and around my bedroom. Then I went downstairs and ironed the flat sheet and the pillowcases. At 11 this morning I was honored to be a guest on the Heartland Law of One Study Group, and I shared a portion of the eulogy that I wrote for Carla since next Tuesday marks ten years since she passed into larger life. Then I attempted to answer a variety of great questions about how I meditated to send love and light through Carla’s chakras while she was channeling Ra, how to deal with body illnesses or injuries, what it means when Ra said that things come through us and not to us, and what it means how various disasters like volcanoes erupting, earthquakes are a means of Mother Earth releasing the heat of wars and anger in a gradual way in order to move into the fourth density vibrations slowly rather than all at once and risking the destruction of the entire planet.

This afternoon I went outside and continued digging up the soil in the five flower gardens on the first level of the flower garden in the center of the Moss Garden.

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

March 30

To Grow Through Change

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

Changes seem to be occurring ever more rapidly. Such is the subjective experience of all beings as occasion upon occasion mounts up in a life experience. Thus, as one becomes older one has the opportunity to become less and less comfortable, for change is indeed uncomfortable if seen only as the challenge to the will and faith.

We urge each to realize the great value of change. “To go through changes” is the normal expression. “To grow through changes” is the desired expression.” May each lose fear when change looms before the path and find that limitless Love and peace which will allow the growth of the Spirit through these experiences.

We leave you in peace, now and forever. 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.

2025-03-29

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 5, 2006:

Tim: The question today, Q’uo, has to do with distractions. It seems as though whenever anybody wants to seek in a spiritual sense what we loosely call the truth, there are always some distractions that come around and test us as to whether or not we can keep our focus. We were wondering what the best approach is to using the distractions as a catalyst for growth, whether the distraction might be, as discussed in our circle of talking, barking dogs, or a poem that wants to come out, or a computer that won’t work, or just things that pop up to take our attention from where we really want it to be. Are distractions a negative aspect of our seeking? Are they a positive aspect because they test us and make us stronger? What is the best way for us to deal with distractions when we are trying to focus in this specifically spiritual sense?

(Carla channeling)

We are known to you as Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We come in the Creator’s service to offer you our humble comments. We would ask, as always, that each of you be careful stewards of your attention, discriminating between those thoughts of ours that may be of use to you and those which do not ring true. If you will guard your powers of discrimination well, then we will be well satisfied, for we would wish not to infringe upon your free will nor would we wish to disturb the integrity of your progress. We thank you for this consideration.

Aswe gaze at your query this day, we find ourselves realigning our conceptualizations in order to share with you in the best way possible. The question about distractions is asked from a standpoint within which it is assumed that that which an entity intends is clear and all of those things which are not contained in the intention are to be valued as a distraction. Though we enjoy the standpoint, that is not the same picture that we see. We view, rather, a larger pattern in which that which you think of as a distraction is actually a part of a balanced and helpful pattern within which you are not only accomplishing those things that you know that you are accomplishing, but you are also moving forward within a pattern that is larger than the pattern upon which you now have your attention.

However, we are aware that it is important in responding to your question to give you stepping stones that move you from one standpoint to the other. Both viewpoints are helpful. It is very helpful for those who wish to accomplish any manifested work to keep a solid, sound focus upon that area of work that is to be done, even though from this focused standpoint, many things may initially come into one’s realm of attention, seeming a great deal like distractions. Therefore, let us move back to our viewpoint, that wider viewpoint with a much broader aspect of eyeshot wherein all of the threads of the Maypole dance of an incarnation are seen to be fluttering, not free in the wind, but in the hands of elfin entities such as fairies or imps. They are dancing with these ribbons or threads of aspects of your journey through incarnation within third density.

At the very center of this pattern, taking the place of the Maypole in this instrument’s imagination, is the Creator. The Creator has chosen to express Itself within that construct which is you. It is not that you play the part of the Creator, but that you are part of the Creator. You are what nails the Maypole to the Earth. You are that center of activity and energy that has created a field wherein space and time may be appreciated and used. By your choosing to come into incarnation, you have linked infinity and finitude, eternity and time. Within that energy field that is your consciousness, then, a dance of life is taking place.

This instrument earlier today took a test that examines various aspects of one’s personality and it was discovered that there is this aspect and that aspect to this particular entity’s personality shell. Each of you has unique structure. You came by it honestly. You have built up that energy field that is yourself, your consciousness, and your projection, shall we say, into the illusions of space and time over many, many incarnations. From each incarnation you have selected certain things that seemed very positive and useful to you, and you have accreted them to yourself. Many of the chances and changes of daily life that seem quite fanciful or strictly by chance were actually planned by you and your higher self before incarnation.

The group question for this session was: “Are distractions a negative aspect of our seeking? Are they a positive aspect because they test us and make us stronger? What is the best way for us to deal with distractions when we are trying to focus in this specifically spiritual sense?” Q’uo began by saying as they gaze at our query this day, they find themselves realigning their conceptualizations in order to share with us in the best way possible so that the question about distractions is asked from a standpoint within which it is assumed that that which we intend is clear, and all of those things which are not contained in the intention are to be valued as a distraction, but that is not the same picture that they see because they view a larger picture in which that which we think of as a distraction is actually a part of a balanced and helpful pattern within which we are not only accomplishing those things that we know that we are accomplishing, but we are also moving forward within a pattern that is larger than the pattern upon which we now have our attention. Q’uo went on to say they are aware that it is important in responding to our question to give us stepping stones that move us from one standpoint to the other, and both viewpoints are helpful for us when we wish to accomplish work to keep a solid focus upon that area of work that is to be done, even though from this focused standpoint, many things may come into our realm of attention and seem like distractions, so Q’uo wanted to move back to that wider viewpoint where all of the threads of the Maypole that dance in an incarnation are seen to be fluttering in the hands of elfin entities such as fairies or imps, and they are dancing with these threads of aspects of our journey through our incarnation within third density. Q’uo continued by saying at the center of this pattern, taking the place of the Maypole in Carla’s imagination, is the Creator which has chosen to express Itself within that construct which is us, and it is not that we play the part of the Creator, but that we are part of the Creator, and we are what nails the Maypole to the Earth since we are that center of activity that has created a field wherein space and time may be appreciated and used, and by our choosing to come into incarnation, we have linked infinity and time, and within that energy field that is our consciousness a dance of life is taking place. Then Q’uo said that earlier today Carla took a test that examines various aspects of one’s personality, and it was discovered that there is this aspect and that aspect of her personality shell, and each of us has a unique structure which we have built up as that energy field that is us, our consciousness, and our projection into the illusions of space and time over many incarnations, and from each incarnation we have selected certain things that seemed positive and useful to us, and we have attached them to ourself so that many of the changes of daily life that seem strictly by chance were actually planned by us and our higher self before incarnation. On September 2, 1979, Hatonn described the nature of the illusions of space and time:

You must understand that in meditation you are not trying to contact anything. The idea in meditation is one wherein you realize that you are. Not who you are, not where you are, but that you are. That you are aware, that you are in the eternal present. When you feel this, you will feel a sweetness and a closeness to the Creator that come from breaking through the illusions of space and time and coming into that place where you can simply be who you are. That person is greatly loved by the Creator. And that person can greatly love others.

We assure you that you have planned at least as many things that seem to be difficulties as you have planned things that would seem to you to be gifts. When you made these plans, you were standing and looking at things from a point of view much closer to our own than to the one you presently enjoy. It can be said safely, we believe, that each person’s plan for incarnation included a good deal of what this instrument would perceive as distraction. Why would each of you so carefully place in your own way seeming distractions? From a ground level point of view, shall we say, let us say that it is a dynamic that is natural to third density, which is designed to have pairs of opposites. When one of a pair of opposites is invoked, there is a natural energy that is, an energy that is natural to the environment rather than to a soul or spirit within the environment, which calls forth the dynamic to that extreme. Therefore, any effort that you make to focus upon a goal will require that you lift your attention from those things, which previously you might have found interesting.

It may not be obvious to you at the start of a new focus that there will be things that will need to be more and more ignored than they were prior to your new interest. Nevertheless, any new focus must take the space and the time, within the mind, within the will, and within the heart, that was previously given over to that upon which you were focused prior to choosing a new focus. Further, the extent to which one’s prior focus creates its own dynamic is often not seen at the beginning of the creation of a new focus. Thusly, not only is an entity who wishes to create a new focus in need of moving into that new focus, but also that entity is in need of becoming aware to a greater extent than is now occurring of the ramifications and the implications of the pattern that is being left.

Asimple example of this lies within this instrument’s mind and has to do with computers. This instrument has been attempting to create a new computer set-up. It was not known to this instrument to what extent her previous habits of computer usage, and her previous methods of working with changes to those computer methods, would need to be released completely in order that a new set-up might occur until she attempted to do this. In something like a computer set-up, where there is an object to which one may refer, it is fairly obvious to see how a situation must be rethought from the inside out before it can become a good solution. It is not so easy to see into that which must be released and left behind when one is moving mentally or emotionally from one focus to another. Things that may seem like real distractions at the beginning of a pattern may well turn out to be an integral part of the movement in evolution from where you were to where you wish to be.

In very simple situations, it can be seen that a certain set of things must be left behind in order to adopt or embrace a new set of values. However, this question was asked by entities who are working in more than one level at the same time. And we feel that we need to address this multilayered situation that most of those to whom these words will seem helpful will have. In a situation where there is more than one level of learning and service occurring at a time, we would ask you simply to move into a space within your contemplation where you are not judging anything about the situation. You are simply attempting to crawl into the heart of it so, as this instrument was speaking earlier, you begin to feel that you are in the middle of a flower whose petals are unfolding all around you.

Then Q’uo assured us that we have planned things that seem to be difficulties just as we have planned things that seem to be gifts, and when we made these plans, we were looking at things from a point of view much closer to Q’uo’s point of view than to the one we enjoy, and it can be said that each person’s plan for incarnation included what Carla would perceive as distraction because from a ground level point of view they said that it is a dynamic that is natural to third density, which is designed to have pairs of opposites, so when one of a pair of opposites is invoked, there is an energy that is natural to the environment rather than to a soul within the environment which calls forth the dynamic to that extreme so that any effort that we make to focus upon a goal will require that we lift our attention from those things which we previously might have found interesting. Now Q’uo said it may not be obvious to us at the start of a new focus that there will be things that will need to be more ignored than they were prior to our new interest because any new focus must take the space and the time, within our mind, our will, and within our heart, that was previously given over to that upon which we were focused prior to choosing a new focus,  and the extent to which our prior focus creates its own dynamic is often not seen at the beginning of the creation of a new focus, so not only are we hoping to create a new focus, we are in need of moving into that new focus, and we are in need of becoming aware to a greater extent than is now occurring of the implications of the pattern that is being left. Q’uo went on to say an example of this lies within Carla’s mind and has to do with computers since she has been attempting to create a new computer set-up, and it was not known to her as to what extent her previous habits of computer usage and previous methods of working with changes to those computer methods would need to be released in order that a new set-up might occur until she attempted to do this so that in something like a computer set-up, where there is an object to which we may refer, it is obvious to see how a situation must be rethought from the inside out before it can become a good solution, but it is not so easy to see into that which must be left behind when we are moving mentally or emotionally from one focus to another so that things that may seem like distractions at the beginning of a pattern may turn out to be a part of the movement in evolution from where we were to where we wish to be. Q’uo continued by saying in simple situations it can be seen that a certain set of things must be left behind in order to embrace a new set of values, but this question was asked by entities who are working in more than one level at the same time, and Q’uo felt that they need to address this multilayered situation that most of those to whom these words will seem helpful will have, so in a situation where there is more than one level of learning and service occurring at a time, they asked that we move into a space within our contemplation where we are not judging anything about the situation, but we are attempting to crawl into the heart of it so, as Carla was speaking earlier, we begin to feel that we are in the middle of a flower whose petals are unfolding all around us. In 34.12, Ra spoke of the negative nature of distractions:

In a negative sense many of the gadgets among your peoples—that is, what you call your communication devices and other distractions, such as the less competitive games—may be seen to have the distortion of keeping the mind/body/spirit complex unactivated so that yellow- and orange-ray activity is much weakened, thus carefully decreasing the possibility of eventual green-ray activation.

Others of your gadgets may be seen to be tools whereby the entity explores the capabilities of its physical or mental complexes and, in some few cases, the spiritual complex, thus activating the orange ray in what you call your team sports and in other gadgets such as your modes of transport. These may be seen to be ways of investigating the feelings of power; more especially, power over others or a group power over another group of other-selves.

We are pleased that this instrument has had this experience in looking at her own patterns of distraction because we are able to use this image well, and we thank this instrument for having done enough work that we are able to work from where she has gotten and attempt to make you a little bit more comfortable with the pattern of this flower, which we will call “the flower of distraction.” Picture this flower as a very beautiful, multi-colored, many-petalled flower, much like a daisy but with many more petals. Picture yourself seated upon the center of this flower, gazing at the beauty of this rainbow of thoughts, feelings, issues, and time passing while you move through the recognition process with each petal. Imagine yourself settling into the realization that you do not know precisely how to value these various petals. You do not know whether frustration is part of a petal or your reaction to seeing a petal that you do not yet understand. And so, as you come across these feelings, you focus first on this energy, feeling or sensing it or giving it thought. And then, when you have given it full justice and appreciated it, even honored it, you move on to the next and the next.

At some point, as you are working your way around this many-petalled experience of self, there will come to you a sense that you are beginning to grasp how this flower will bloom. You are beginning to feel where the strong points are in the petal system and where those points are  now that you have honored them, which will simply roll up and tuck themselves away because they have been honored. When you have gone through this exercise with a frustrating situation, you shall experience one of two things. Firstly, given that there is no actual countering energy attempting to undo the rhythms that you have discovered or shattering the harmony that you have discovered, you shall simply get enough of the work accomplished that this pattern of distraction was created to offer you that you receive the beauty, the pattern, and the understanding that you sought, not necessarily from the goal you thought you were attempting to reach, but from the pattern of distraction that this attempt to reach the goal has manufactured or created for your enjoyment and your understanding.

Secondly, you may discover an energy that is not part of that many-petalled dance. You may begin to be able to identify the direction from which this energy is coming and, therefore, you may begin to have a little more clarity with regards to the nature of a pattern that is genuinely distracting. We would distinguish here between patterns of distraction that you and your higher self have implanted within your pattern in order to head you away from an extreme that you, as a soul before incarnation, wished not to penetrate and patterns that are not a part of your higher self and your plan for incarnation.

Itis relatively rare that entities within third-density incarnation are highly enough focused within either a mental or an emotional environment that they are able to create the intensity of spiritual energy that calls forth that which this instrument is used to calling psychic greeting and which some have called psychic attack. Because this particular instrument has experienced that rather unusual type of psychic greeting previously, we are able to express through her with a bit more ease the assurance that for the most part, it is unusual to receive psychic greeting from an outside source; that is, a source outside of the balancing mechanisms of the entity who is working the spiritual process and is part of life upon Planet Earth at this time. We hope that it comforts and cheers each to know that it is highly unlikely that the distractions that you are experiencing are of that type of psychic greeting that is independent of the personality of the self. For the most part, the barking dog, the malfunctioning computer, and the poem that must get written are all examples of patterns that are condign, benign and even helpful for your growth.

We would ask you to move with us into the consideration of the difficulties expressed by the one known as T, for here we have a very clear example of a specific issue, which is that of extraneous noise. When an entity is attempting to rest and relax and enter the silence, whether by meditation or by any other type of contemplation, perhaps the least desirable of outcomes is for the environment to become noisy. And yet, as the one known as T said, it was uncannily as if the more he sought silence, the more noise the environment produced in the barking of the dogs and the loud voices of a busload of children.

Now Q’uo said we are pleased that Carla has had this experience in looking at her own patterns of distraction because we are able to use this image well, and we thank her for having done enough work that we are able to work from where she has gotten and attempt to make us a little bit more comfortable with the pattern of this flower, which Q’uo called “the flower of distraction,” so they suggested that we see this flower as a many-petalled flower, and see ourself seated upon the center of this flower, gazing at the beauty of this rainbow of thoughts, and feelings, and time passing while we move through the recognition process with each petal, and imagine ourself realizing that we do not know how to value these petals, and we do not know whether frustration is part of a petal or our reaction to seeing a petal that we do not understand, so as we come across these feelings, we focus on this energy, giving it thought, and then we move on to the next and the next. Then Q’uo said at some point, as we are working our way around this many-petalled experience of ourself, there will come to us a sense that we are beginning to feel where the strong points are in the petal system, and where those points are now that we have honored them, and they will roll up and tuck themselves away because they have been honored, so when we have gone through this exercise with a frustrating situation, we shall experience one of two things–given that there is no countering energy attempting to undo the rhythms that we have discovered–we shall get enough of the work accomplished that this pattern of distraction was created to offer us, that we receive the beauty and understanding that we sought, not necessarily from the goal we thought we were attempting to reach, but from the pattern of distraction that this attempt to reach the goal has manufactured or created for our enjoyment and our understanding. Q’uo continued by saying secondly, we may discover an energy that is not part of that many-petalled dance, and we may begin to be able to identify the direction from which this energy is coming, and we may begin to have more clarity regarding the nature of a pattern that is distracting, so they would distinguish here between patterns of distraction that we and our higher self have implanted within our pattern in order to lead us away from an extreme that we, as a soul before incarnation, wished not to penetrate and patterns that are not a part of our higher self and our plan for incarnation. Q’uo went on to say it is rare that within third-density incarnation we are enough focused within either a mental or an emotional environment that we are able to create the spiritual energy that calls forth that which Carla is used to calling psychic greeting because she has experienced an unusual type of psychic greeting previously, and Q’uo was able to express through her with more ease the assurance that it is unusual to receive psychic greeting from a source outside of the balancing mechanisms of the entity who is working with the spiritual process and is part of life upon Earth at this time, so they hope that it comforts each of us to know that it is unlikely that the distractions that we are experiencing are of that type of psychic greeting that is independent of our personality, and the barking dog, the malfunctioning computer, and the poem that must get written are all examples of patterns that are helpful for our growth. So Q’uo asked us to move with them into consideration of the difficulties of outer noise because when we are attempting to relax and enter the silence, whether by meditation or contemplation, the least desirable of outcomes is for the environment to become noisy. On March 14, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of psychic greeting:

The phenomenon of psychic greeting is a large subject. There are basically two kinds of psychic greeting. By far the most common is the greeting of the integrated personality by those parts of the personality that are not yet integrated and that perhaps have split apart from the integrated personality, so that parts of the self attacks the self as if the self were another. The other type of psychic greeting involves an actual entity other than the self.

In the case of the greeting of the self by the self, the momentary vibration that is occurring at the time may well have something to do with why that greeting occurred. However, if the psychic greeting is coming from an entity outside the self, the momentary polarity of the entity will have almost nothing to do with the greeting. Rather, the greeting will have to do with how closely that entity is standing to the Light.

When an entity is standing close to the Light, attempting to serve in some way that is above the ordinary, healing, teaching, or in some way serving others, that Light reveals any small defect of character and shows to an outer entity the most likely place for a temptation or an incursion into the energy body. Consequently, those who are serving in such a way will find psychic greeting inevitable.

Is there evil involved in such distraction? We can genuinely and honestly assure you that there is no evil. Are there choices implicit in such catalyst? Again, clearly there are choices that are offered when catalyst arises. How shall you accept such a distraction? The one known as T spoke of attempting to embrace the energy of that seemingly random noise, to allow it within the environment of meditation. Was he successful? There were points at which he was completely successful. However, the energy of evolution spirals and so that distraction also varies in its energy.

At times, such a distraction becomes joyful, acceptable and perfectly at peace as a part of meditation. At another point in the spiral, that easiness and relaxation is lost because of a yearning that cannot be quenched for a more pure, refined environment. The one known as T was not incorrect when he felt that yearning for more of a purity of environment, nor was he correct when he was able to roll with the distracting sound. Rather, this entity was creating for himself a moment-by-moment dance. Shall the imps, and fairies, and elves that are directing the strands of ribbon that represent that noise dancing in the sunlight or the moonlight dancing with joy or are they dancing with sorrow? What are the underlying archetypal energies surrounding the entity that rests in the middle of this petal experience?

These are the things that are unknown. These are the mysteries that call forth a certain type of distraction. It is not for us to say from where that energy that is undergirding and supporting the one known as T is drawing its energy. Whence this energy comes will create the potential for various messengers or representatives. It might be noise that those of second density are very happy to express, energies that they feel, not necessarily from you directly, but from those energies around the one known as T, supporting and undergirding the one known as T, those energies that are wiser and more fluid in their ability to move, not only in physical but in metaphysical time and space continua.

What we would suggest, then, in sum is that whether it is a very simple distraction or a very complex and multi-layered one that you are gazing at this day, you may be assured that it is part of the pattern of your life. And the simplest way to express this pattern is to say that you are aware of only a portion of those focuses of attention which you had hopes, before incarnation, of developing. When you see cross-currents and seeming distractions cutting into the smooth ripples of your day, know that you have been blessed with a larger pattern, a larger picture and a larger self than that of which you are normally aware. If you can refrain from arguing and wrangling with the folds and the pleats and the arrangements of the day as time drapes itself across space in order to create your experience, then perhaps you will be able to move more gracefully and more skillfully with those spontaneous cross-currents when they do occur.

This instrument was basically correct in her discussion before this circle of seeking began its session when she said that she felt that there was a larger pattern that she just did not see. Turn your hopefulness and your faith into your best friends when you hit a pattern that you do not understand. Let all of your hope be simply to see a little bit more than you see right now. It is not necessary for you to see the whole pattern. Were it necessary for you to see the whole pattern in order to work within incarnation, you would be given that gift.

[Side one of tape ends.]

It is actually more helpful for you within incarnation if you do not see the pattern, or if you see a part of it, that you not strive to see farther into it than has been given you in this moment. Rest within a “knowing” and meanwhile take the petal that is closest to you, smooth it out, honor it, and fulfill that which you see in that petal. Then move on to the next and the next, being willing, indeed eager, to look at the next point of distraction, to honor it and to fulfill it.

Q’uo said that they could assure us that there is no evil involved in distraction, but there are choices that are offered when catalyst arises, so we can accept distractions by attempting to embrace the energy of that seemingly random noise, and to allow it within the environment of our meditation, but the energy of evolution spirals and so that distraction also varies in its energy. Then Q’uo said at times such a distraction becomes acceptable and at peace as a part of meditation, but at another point in the spiral, that relaxation is lost because of a yearning that cannot be quenched for a more pure environment, but if we accept the distracting sound we are creating a moment-by-moment dance of the imps, fairies, and elves that are: “directing the strands of ribbon that represent that noise dancing in the sunlight or the moonlight dancing with joy or are they dancing with sorrow? What are the underlying archetypal energies surrounding the entity that rests in the middle of this petal experience?” So Q’uo went on to say these are the mysteries that call forth a certain type of distraction, but it is not for them to say from where that energy that is supporting us is drawing its energy from that will create the potential for various messengers, and it might be noise that those of second density are happy to express as energies that they feel from those energies around us, supporting and undergirding us, which are wiser and more fluid in their ability to move, not only in physical but in metaphysical time and space continua. Q’uo continued by saying they would suggest that if it is a multi-layered energy that we are gazing at this day, we may be assured that it is part of the pattern of our life, and the simplest way to express this pattern is to say that we are aware of a portion of those focuses of attention which we had hopes, before incarnation, of developing, so when we see distractions cutting into the smooth ripples of our day, we can know that we have been blessed with a larger picture and a larger self than that of which we are normally aware, and if we can refrain from arguing with the folds and the arrangements of the day as time drapes itself across space in order to create our experience, then we will be able to move more gracefully with those cross-currents when they do occur. Now Q’uo said Carla was correct in her discussion before this circle of seeking began its session when she said that she felt that there was a larger pattern that she did not see, so we should turn our faith into our best friend when we hit a pattern that we do not understand, and let all of our faith be to see more than we see right now because it is not necessary for us to see the whole pattern, but if it were necessary for us to see the whole pattern in order to work within incarnation, we would be given that gift, but it is more helpful for us if we do not see the pattern, so we can rest within a “knowing” and take the petal that is closest to us, honor it, and fulfill that which we see in that petal, and move on to the next and the next, being willing to look at the next point of distraction to honor it and to fulfill it. On May 25, 1986, Q’uo spoke of how a larger pattern in our incarnations in their overall sense:

The cumulative effects of previous, shall we say, incarnations often decree that the upcoming incarnation provide the arena in which these various distortions may find the opportunity for balance. The choice of one biological gender or another will be made according to these distortions in need of balance. It may be that throughout the full third-density pattern of incarnations an entity would find it necessary to choose one gender over the other more often than not in order to fulfill a larger pattern of learning. The difficulties, as you call them, associated with this choice, in this case, as it has been called, homosexual orientation, are then incorporated into the larger pattern and utilized in the overall growth of the entity. Within the third-density illusion, the great array and degree of limitation is utilized as, shall we say, a force against which to test the spiritual strength, for within your illusion one must rediscover the foundation or fabric of one’s being time and time again.

We thank you for this query, and would ask at this time if there are any follow-up questions or other questions at this time. We are those of Q’uo.

Question: This instrument has mentally requested that we ask a question that she received from the British Study Group. That question, as it is within this instrument’s mind, is, “How can one love unconditionally and yet hold the sword of Michael?”

We are those of Q’uo, and aware of this query. The one known as Jim, when apprised of this question, simply said, “One cannot do both. One either must love, or one must tell the truth.” And we agree that that is the dynamic that this question raises. If one is to be loving, how can one be wise? If one is to be wise, how can one be loving? My friends, this query, in and of itself, is a paradox and cannot be answered in words. Yet, we would call to you, for you know and have in your mind and in your heart, live examples and those examples in history that have embodied both love and wisdom.

How you shall embody both in your life is great challenge. But we urge you to face it fearlessly. Remember that the sword of Michael is an archetypal sword held by an archangel. That word “ark” or “arch” is a word which also creates the word architecture, and what an entity is doing when he presumes to hold that sword is to hold the power of what this instrument would call “fire.” Fire in archetypal terms can sometimes mean the truth. It can sometimes mean that which creates. It can sometimes mean that which destroys.

It is an energy that does not seem to bear a relationship with unconditional Love and yet, the life of fire is Light. Light represents that which was thought by that Thought which created all that there is, which is Love. Michael, as an archetypal presence, holds the sword of truth, but it is a truth that gives life. We cannot encourage you enough, if you are interested in this paradox, to go into a meditative space within your mind, within your consciousness, where you will allow the blazing fire of truth and the absolute blessedness of love to occupy you.

Do not attempt to work with it. These energies are much too powerful for you to command. Rest and allow them to play within the circle of your attention, and you will begin to see, according to the way that your mind and your heart work, images or shapes, colors, or feelings. We do not know what shall arise for you in particular, but allow the canvas of your consciousness to be played upon by the genius of your guidance, using the palette of those energies that you have brought forth in thought. You may see something or it may all occur for you on an unconscious level. Nevertheless, realize that you are doing the work of this question as you submit yourself as an instrument to be taught another note, another song, another melody to sing.

The British Study Group asked: “How can one love unconditionally and yet hold the sword of Michael?” Q’uo began by saying Jim said “One cannot do both. One either must love, or one must tell the truth.” And Q’uo agreed that is the dynamic that this question raises, and this query is a paradox and cannot be answered in words, but they would call to us, for we have in our mind and in our heart examples in our history that have embodied both love and wisdom. Q’uo went on to say that how we shall embody both in our life is a challenge, but they urged us to face it fearlessly and to remember that the sword of Michael is an archetypal sword held by an archangel, and the word “arch” is a word which creates the word architecture, and what we are doing when we presume to hold that sword is to hold the power of what Carla would call “fire” because fire in archetypal terms can mean the truth, or that which creates, or that which destroys. Q’uo continued by saying that it is an energy that does not seem to bear a relationship with unconditional Love and yet, the life of fire is Light, and Light represents that which was thought by that Thought which created all that there is, which is Love, so Michael holds the sword of truth, but it is a truth that gives life, and Q’uo said if we are interested in this paradox, to go into a meditative space where will allow blessedness of love to occupy us. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying we should not attempt to work with these energies because they are too powerful for us to control, so we should allow them to play within the circle of our attention, and we will begin to see images and feelings, but Q’uo did not know what shall arise for us in particular, but to allow the canvas of our consciousness to be played upon by the genius of our guidance, using the palette of those energies that we have brought forth in thought, and we may see something or it may all occur for us on an unconscious level, but realize that we are doing the work of this question as we submit ourself as an instrument to be taught another song to sing. On September 28, 1991, Q’uo spoke of the Thought of Love that created all that is:

The comfort that we have to offer is a comfort that is not of the mundane world, but that undergirding reality which supports all creation, that Thought of love of the one Creator that expresses itself in your illusion in a manner which is mysterious and elusive. We are aware of the confusions and the frustrations that attend attempting to penetrate the mystery of your illusion, and we can only commend your continued efforts in this regard. For by persisting in your seeking in the face of all the difficulties which you encounter, you bring yourself to the peak of the Creator, humbled in worship of the might and the majesty that can create a universe that contains the stars, the planets, all the galaxies revolving in their time and in their turn, along with all of the energies of your life pattern that move about you as do the planets move about the stars.

We will again ask if there is another query before we leave this instrument. Is there a final query at this time?

Questioner: Q’uo, would you be able to talk about how I might be able to support a more devotional approach to the Creator?

Weare those of Q’uo and are aware of your query, my brother. My brother, we gaze at this question looking for those items that we may offer to you, for we are in a tender area in answering this query as it is part of your active process. Nevertheless, we believe that we may say a few things that may provide resources for you. Firstly, it helps to have an objective referent when you are working on devotion. The best objective referents are unique to you, but we would suggest to you that you look at your memories and your opinions and that large bank of information that is yours and choose one or two or perhaps three, at the most, entities whom to you seem to exemplify and embody the devotion for which you are looking. Here at least, there is an energy that you may recognize. It is the closest that you can come to quantifying something that is actually strictly a quality, but it helps to have in your heart and in your mind the shape and the feeling and the texture of that person or those persons that to you already have caught that energy of devotion.

Secondly, in a strictly intellectual and analytical way, it may help you to reflect upon these entities’ probable feelings. How did this entity become so wholly overshadowed by the Creator that he or she was able to lose his or herself in devotion? Thirdly, we would suggest simply that you avail yourself of devotion. You cannot know the Creator except by being the Creator or seeing the Creator in others. So, you cannot think your way to devotion. Indeed, your best approach to becoming more able to be devoted is to see yourself approaching your own heart. Within your heart, at the very core of your being, lies that part of yourself which is completely and wholly the Creator. The object of your devotion, then, waits for you at the very core of your being.

Within incarnation it is likely that you will not know that you are the Creator without some point of infinite realization, which comes as a gift and not as a plan. But you are well able to approach that within yourself and to know that waiting for you is an entity who loves you with an energy that is indescribable and complete. The devotion is already flowing. You are approaching that place where devotion flows. It flows first from the Creator to you, and it is only reflection, then, to allow that energy to flow back to its source. If you think only the word “Creator,” you may become very close to being able to experience that devotion. If you think the word “devotion,” it may move you to the same place. Play with the words, the feelings, and the various aspects that you can get a handle on in your daily, ordinary mind and thinking.

With this situation where you are approaching your own heart, how you yearn to have uncovered that energy that is so pure and energetic and alive! It is not known how you may have defended yourself from the pure beauty of devotion. You may have to be patient and allow yourself to take the covers away, one by one. You want to honor those sensitive parts of yourself that you may have protected when you decided that perhaps such pure emotion was too much for the human within you to handle. Honor each sensitive point as it comes up, and be sure that you are not moving faster than your physical body and your mental and emotional balance will allow you to move comfortably. You have all the time in creation. You are right, however, my brother, in desiring to penetrate this mystery within incarnation. For those who move from devotion, the goal is to seek wisdom. The goal for those who move from a point of seeking devotion is to move the balance from wisdom more towards unconditional Love.

Questioner asked: “Q’uo, would you be able to talk about how I might be able to support a more devotional approach to the Creator?” Q’uo began by saying we gaze at this question looking for those items that we may offer to you, for we are in a tender area in answering this query as it is part of your active process, but it helps to have an objective referent when you are working on devotion, and the best resources are unique to you, but we would suggest that you look at your memories and your opinions that are yours and choose two or three entities whom to you seem to embody the devotion for which you are looking because there is an energy that you may recognize here, and it is the closest that you can come to determining something that is a quality, but it helps to have in your heart and in your mind the feeling of those persons that you already have caught that energy of devotion. Q’uo went on to say firstly, it may help you to reflect upon these entities’probable feelings, and secondly how did this entity become overshadowed by the Creator that they could lose themselves in devotion, and thirdly, we would say that you avail yourself of devotion because you cannot know the Creator except by being the Creator, so your best approach to becoming more devoted is to see yourself approaching your own heart, and within your heart lies that part of yourself which is completely the Creator so that the object of your devotion waits for you at the core of your being. Q’uo continued by saying within incarnation you will not know that you are the Creator without some point of infinite realization, which comes as a gift, but you are able to approach that within yourself and to know that waiting for you is an entity who loves you with an energy that is complete, and you are approaching that place where devotion flows first from the Creator to you, and it is only reflection to allow that energy to flow back to its Source, so if you think only the word “Creator,” you may become close to being able to experience that devotion, and if you think the word “devotion,” it may move you to the same place, so play with the words, the feelings, and the aspects that you can get a handle on in your thinking. Q’uo completed their reply by saying with this situation where you are approaching your heart, how you yearn to have uncovered that energy that is so pure and alive, but it is not known how you may have defended yourself from the pure beauty of devotion, so you may have to be patient and take the covers away, one by one because you want to honor those sensitive parts of yourself that you may have protected when you decided that such pure emotion was too much for you to handle, so honor each sensitive point as it comes up, and be sure that you are not moving faster than your physical body and your mental and emotional balance will allow you to move comfortably since you have all the time in creation, and you are right in desiring to penetrate this mystery within incarnation, for those who move from devotion, the goal is to seek wisdom, and the goal for those who move from a point of seeking devotion is to move the balance from wisdom more towards unconditional Love. On November 28, 2009, Q’uo described the nature of pure emotion:

To ask the self to allow emotions to be refined and purified is to ask the self to walk into the fire of suffering. For if one defends against pain of an emotional type or a spiritual type, one ceases to be able to go deeper within those many, many levels of self that move into the archetypal mind. Indeed, it is through repeated experiences with such deeply painful emotions such as grief, anger, jealousy, and rage that one, oh so slowly, becomes able to bear the beauty of pure emotion.

As in all things spiritual, the paradox is that as one is able to open oneself to the pain of going deeper within one’s emotional life, one is more and more able to see, to bear, to hold, to accept the emotions of joy, bliss, and peace. For as in all of the levels and ways of understanding the one infinite Creator, the essence is always Love. Consequently, the river of grief, the river of rage, all rivers whatsoever of purified emotion, lead at last into the ocean of bliss, which is the steady state of infinite Love.

May we answer you further, my brother?

Questioner: Thank you, Q’uo. That was a wonderful response.

We thank you, my brother. We thank each of you and would leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It has been a real privilege to work with this group and we thank you each and all. We are those known to you as Q’uo. We leave you in love and in light, now and always. Adonai. Adonai.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food, some fish food, and some bird seed. My next stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Pepsi-Zero and some non-food items.

This afternoon I used my shovel to dig up the soil in the for small gardens around the Flower Fall in the front yard, the one small garden at the back of the Wuthering Heights Mound on the other side of the front yard, and then I went into the back yard and dug up the top two layers of the flower gardens in the center of the Moss Garden.

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

March 29

Your Deepest Name Is Christ

I am of the principle of divine and eternal Love, and I greet you in the most precious name of Jesus the Christ.

You shall, today, meet someone whose name you think you know, and you shall gaze upon the flesh, opaque and mortal, that is the prison of the incarnate soul.

Know as you meet friends, acquaintances or strangers that the name of the body, the personality, and the mind which is used to live a life is not truly the deepest name, but that the deepest name of each is Christ.

For each is Christ. Each eye that meets yours is that of God in flesh. All beings are heirs together in eventual realization of Christhood. Jesus the Christ has said, “If you aid any person, you are aiding me.” Let pure compassion melt the sight of flesh and mortality, that you may serve the Christ in all and find the peace and freedom of infinite Love.

We of the Spirit are here for you that, by grace, you may see the better, hear the clearer, and love the more purely.

We leave you in divine Love and peace, 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 20, 2006:

(Question chosen by PLW poll) Q’uo, so much of the new age rhetoric that I’ve been hearing on the internet the past few months is very similar to dialog we shared ten years ago on our on-line spiritual study groups. They talk of ascension, dimensional shifts, earth awakening, the arrival of the Aquarian Age, and so forth. There is clearly a cycle to all this and different waves of people appear to be initiated into the ideas annually. I can remember a decade when spiritual brothers and sisters were “ascending” and leaving our study groups to go back into the world and take on new tasks. Please talk about the different waves of ascension and the why and how of the way it affects us all so differently. I am fascinated at the different time-lines to this. I have a sense that ascension of some kind has been taking place since the beginning of time. Please offer any comments that you might have about this.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you this day. We thank the ones known as S1, S2, and Carla for forming this circle of seeking today. It is a great privilege to be asked to join your circle and to speak with you about these buzzwords of the New Age: ascension, dimensional shift, and the Aquarian Age. We are most happy to do so. We ask, as always, that each use their discrimination in listening to our thoughts. If the thoughts seem good to you, please use them. If they do not, please drop them and move on without looking back. We would not wish to create a stumbling block in your own experience. If you will guard your discrimination carefully then we will feel free to share our opinions without being concerned that we might infringe upon your free will. We thank you for this consideration.

Itis an interesting thing to speak concerning this topic, because the surface aspect of the topic is indeed full of clichés and buzzwords. If one moves beneath the surface of this topic, however, one finds an authentic thread of information that is part of what this instrument would call the eternal wisdom. There are indeed cycles upon your sphere, within your solar system, and within your galaxy that are impinging upon your Earth at this time. It is an amazing time of the collection of the old and its eventual disposal and the dawning of a new heaven and a new earth. It is, indeed, that time that has been predicted and discussed for many of your centuries and even millennia. It has been a part of the indigenous culture of several of your religious and cultural systems.

Depending upon the source who is studying these systems, they are classified as either religious or mythical. However, the basic concept, of there being cycles of time that cover thousands of your years and that have to do with the perception of the stars and their courses, is a part of the very fabric of all of the cultures of your planet. There are very few of your peoples that do not have, in one way or another, the stories of large portions of time within which entities proceed until they come to the end of the perceived time of things being as they are. There is at that time a sea change. One tide goes out and another comes in. And there is a new way of experiencing time and space, as we have discussed with this particular group.

The cycle that is now ending is marked as ending approximately at the end of the year 2012. It is indeed, among other things, a cycle that is astrological in nature, where there is a shift in the energy that is at the heart or the womb of the space/time continuum, as this instrument would call it. The energy has shifted almost entirely as we now speak. The departing energy is an energy that has the nature of water, which is the nature of your body and the nature of so much of your planet. It is shifting over to an energy that has to do with air and fire, and these energies are interpenetrating the basic third-density energy, shall we say, of water. This is causing tremendous changes in your planet and in your body systems as that very watery medium, that is the interior of your body, experiences the tremendous interpenetration of the new energies.

This is, in general, the larger cycle about which we would talk at this time. It is, as we said, an authentic change of the way the core of your experience comes to you. You are one of the last generations of those who experience third density in a third-density activated body. There are upon your planet at this time many entities that have a dual activated body, their energy bodies being activated in third density and fourth density. And this brings us to the discussion of a whole different set of cyclic patterns that the questioner has observed, quite accurately we feel. Let us talk about some of these cycles of those who are approaching the information for the first time. This instrument, being in her sixties, is one of the early type of wanderers that no longer are coming among you. This instrument and many, indeed, millions of those who were called to the travail of your planet, came among you as pioneers of a kind. They choose to incarnate in third-density bodies, but they also chose to come into third density with a certain degree of awareness of their home densities, which were mostly of those of fifth-density and sixth-density social memory complexes.

The group question for this session was: “Please talk about the different waves of ascension and the why and how of the way it affects us all so differently. I am fascinated at the different time-lines to this. I have a sense that ascension of some kind has been taking place since the beginning of time. Please offer any comments that you might have about this.” Q’uo began by saying it is an interesting thing to speak concerning this topic, because the surface aspect of the topic is indeed full of buzzwords, but if we move beneath the surface of this topic, we find a thread of information that is part of what Carla would call the eternal wisdom, and there are cycles upon our planet, within our solar system, and within our galaxy that are impinging upon our Earth at this time, and it is an amazing time of the collection of the old and its eventual disposal and the dawning of a new heaven and a new earth, so it is that time that has been predicted and discussed for many of our centuries and even millennia, and it has been a part of the indigenous culture of several of our cultural systems.

On May 7, 2006, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the dual activated body:

But the dual activated body will unerringly give you the toughness of mind to go for the root and to do the work in a timely manner. In terms of what body will be activated . . .  they are both activated now, but you are in a third-density physical vehicle. You are living on a third-density planet. You are here for a reason. Many, many others are here for the same reason.

Those with dual activated bodies have graduated and have come back. Just as the Elder Race, when it graduated, chose to return, so have you returned. You do not want to go on to the exciting and even thrilling prospect of fourth-density existence, with its greatly enhanced options for learning and for service, until you have done your utmost, not only to help others of the human tribe to move on into fourth density with you but also to restore and reconstitute the health of Gaia, of planet Earth, in her living form.

There are a few fourth-density positively-oriented wanderers among you at this time, but, for the most part, if you are a wanderer you are probably from the density of wisdom or from the density of unity, that density in which wisdom and love are balanced. Indeed, the majority of those who are among you at this time as positively-oriented wanderers are those from the sixth density. And your interest in coming to the Earth at this time was to improve the balance of love and wisdom in your active, conscious personality. The reason this was so attractive to you is that within the boot camp atmosphere of third density you can get a lot done in a short time if you have the dedication of your will to a chosen and carefully manicured or articulated goal. The key is continually to review your goal and dedication so that you maintain a focus over time.

The great difficulty with wanderers of this type is that they may fail to wake up to who they are. Many of those among your wanderer population on this planet have indeed not awakened. However, under the pressure of the increasing dynamic between the new fourth-density energy and the old third-density energy, the polarity that is native to each of your systems is being tweaked and prodded by the dynamic energies so that it becomes more and more obvious to entities that there is something going on to which they need to wake up. That is one large generation of those to whom this information is especially important and attractive.

The next wave of entities which came upon your planet is of those which arrived in births during the 60s and 70s. These were an intermediate type of wanderer whose goals were not so much oriented to work in consciousness within their own personalities. These were personalities who were still hearing the travail of planet Earth as the planet itself became more and more reactive to the energies of hostility and aggression that have been increasing among your global population in response to the increasing dynamic betwixt the light and the dark, that is which is to come and that which is ending. These entities were less concerned with their own studies in learning and more concerned, in a more urgent fashion or more of a feeling of urgency to wake up and create a shift in consciousness among the tribes of Earth. Among these wanderers, there is a tendency to be overly concerned with the urgency of the situation. In so many cases the problem is not waking them up but rather moving them to a more balanced and calm point of view where their very real skills can be used more fully. And so, to this very large bunch of wanderers, we find the challenges of awakening being very slight but the challenges of spiritual maturity to be much larger.

The third generation of those who have moved into the energies of planet Earth at this time from other places in space and time are those pioneers of fourth density who have wandered here with the firm intention of helping not only the planet’s people, but the planet itself. These entities are equipped with the ability to withstand a tremendous amount of disharmony and chaos. They do not do this with a great deal of native joy, but their makeup is such that they are capable of independent action and have little use for the traditional kind of authority which expresses itself in your established religions and those cultural icons such as the classical philosophies and so forth. To these entities, the Earth itself is speaking.

These entities are often called the Indigo Children or the Crystal Children. There are many words that try to describe the difference betwixt this generation of wanderers and previous ones. The hallmark of this breed is an insensitivity to traditional modes of expressing religious dedication while maintaining a great sensitivity and an authentic feeling for the most intensive kind of work in consciousness that is chosen by the self for the self and created as an individual expression rather than there being a great desire to become a part of an already established religion. Nevertheless, in this last generation of wanderers there remains a feeling for the group. So, you will find entities in all three generations whose interest includes the desire to reconnect with their families. This group of large groups constitutes the wanderer population of planet Earth.

Then Q’uo said there are a few fourth-density positively-oriented wanderers among us at this time, but if we are a wanderer we are probably from the density of wisdom or from the density of unity, that density in which wisdom and love are balanced, and the majority of those who are among us at this time as positively-oriented wanderers are those from the sixth density, and our interest in coming to the Earth at this time was to improve the balance of love and wisdom in our personality, and the reason this was so attractive to us is that within the challenging atmosphere of third density we can get a lot done in a short time if we have the dedication of our will to a chosen goal, so the key is to review our goal and dedication so that we maintain a focus over time. Q’uo went on to say that the difficulty with wanderers of this type is that we may fail to wake up to who we are, and many of those among our wanderer population on this planet have not awakened, but under the pressure of the increasing dynamic between the new fourth-density energy and the old third-density energy, the polarity that is native to each of our systems is being tweaked by the dynamic energies so that it becomes more obvious to entities that there is something going on to which we need to wake up, so that is one generation of those to whom this information is especially important and attractive. Q’uo continued by saying the next wave of entities which came upon our planet was of those which arrived in births during the 60s and 70s, and these were an intermediate type of wanderer whose goals were not so much oriented to work in consciousness within their own personalities because these were personalities who were still hearing the sorrow of planet Earth as it became more reactive to the energies of hostility that have been increasing among our global population in response to the dynamic between the light and the dark, that is which is to come and that which is ending so that these entities were less concerned with their own studies in learning and more concerned, in an urgent fashion, to wake up and create a shift in consciousness among the tribes of Earth, and among these wanderers there is a tendency to be overly concerned with the urgency of the situation, and in many cases the problem is not waking them up but moving them to a more balanced point of view where their skills can be used more fully, and for this group of wanderers Q’uo found the challenges of awakening being very slight, but the challenges of spiritual maturity to be much larger. Now Q’uo said the third generation of those who have moved into the energies of planet Earth at this time from other places in space and time are those pioneers of fourth density who have wandered here with the intention of helping not only the planet’s people, but the planet itself, and these entities are equipped with the ability to withstand much disharmony, but they do not do this with a native joy since their makeup is such that they are capable of independent action and have little use for the kind of authority which expresses itself in our established religions and the classical philosophies because to these entities, the Earth itself is speaking. Q’uo said these entities are often called the Indigo Children or the Crystal Children, and the hallmark of this breed is an insensitivity to traditional modes of expressing religious dedication while maintaining an authentic feeling for intensive work in consciousness that they have chosen by themselves and created as an individual expression rather than there being a desire to become a part of a religion, but in this last generation of wanderers there remains a feeling for the group, so we will find entities in all three generations whose interest includes the desire to reconnect with their families, and these large groups constitute the wanderer population of planet Earth. On November 16, 2006, Q’uo gave a detailed description of Indigo Children:

The third generation of wanderers is made up of what this instrument and many others call the Indigo Children. There are many other terms for these children. However, in general, they are the first graduates in this harvest from the third density of planet Earth. These souls have moved through the gates into larger life. They have dropped their physical bodies and entered into a healing process with their guidance and with all of those forces which protect and nurture entities in the inner planes who are moving through the processes of death and rebirth. Further, they have moved through the steps of Light and have passed their graduation test. These are fourth-density wanderers, whose first act, upon choosing what would please them the most to do next, was to return to their beloved home planet in order to assist not only the people of planet Earth, but also, and perhaps more principally, the planet itself.

These entities are characterized by a thinner veil, which enables them to remember more about who they are and why they are here. The sense of mission or destiny is very common in third-generation wanderers. Your son and all of the indigo children like him are people who, when they have achieved a mental and emotional maturity to match their spiritual gifts, will be far tougher by nature than many among your people, able to deal with difficult times and situations and able to absorb rapid change. These abilities are appropriate for these Indigo Children. However, there are side effects to being built in such a way. These side effects are those times of difficulty and difficult emotions upon which you have remarked.

In dealing with Indigo Children—and indeed, most of those being born into your Earth at this time are Indigo Children—it is well to keep in mind that these entities, though wise in their way, are indeed children. There is as much need in them as in any other child for good, stable, consistent guidance. However, you are also correct in noting the extreme interrelatedness of yourself and your son in the terms of the motion and rhythm of your moods and the behavior that stems from such moods.

We naturally encourage all wanderers to awaken and to be aware that entities that they meet may well be entities of their larger group, since there are millions of wanderers upon Earth. They have in common a tremendous love for the planet, for its people and for the Creator and a serene and undisturbed belief and faith in an unconscious and carefully protected part of the personality shell, that they are in the Creator’s service and part of the Godhead principle. There is a small group of entities who are native to the planet Earth. These entities have won through, in some cases, to graduation and have indeed graduated but have decided to move back into third-density incarnation to see what they can do to bring the rest of the people of the planet along with them in embracing the Light.

Then there are people who come from many different places who have entered your planetary system as souls from other third-density planets that have failed to complete their third density. These include entities from the planet you know as Mars, where they were unable to finish out third density because of creating conditions that made their third-density planet uninhabitable. These entities have in common with the Indigo wanderers a great desire to be stewards of planet Earth, to stop the destruction of the planet that your people have thoughtlessly promulgated over the last 200 or so of your years and to restore and constitute a healthy third density to leave behind as third-density as planet Earth closes itself out.

This will not occur suddenly in terms of there being a necessity for a sudden change of third to fourth density. Rather, there will be a time of between one and three hundred of your years, from the probability/possibility vortices at which we now look, where your peoples will be able to continue to incarnate in third density to continue to heal the planet and to harvest those entities who are ready now to choose light over darkness, love over fear, and the lessons of the compassionate heart over the lessons of self interest. These are the cycles that we see at this time. The great cycle is that cycle of almost 76,000 years that coincides with your astrological periods. During this 76,000-year period, your Earth has had three harvests, what this instrument would call three minor cycles. Third density is made up of three of these minor cycles. Your third cycle has now matured. Its patterns are being seamlessly finished. Each of your entities is choosing, at a soul level, their choice of polarity, their choice of service, and their choice of learning.

We are here to speak with those who have chosen at this time to polarize in service to others, to attempt to find out how to open the heart and to seek the truth of that heart. We are here to help you in any way that we can with that task. It is a formidable one. It has been a pleasure to work with groups such as this one for some of your years now. We have seen a tremendous dawn break upon your planet. We realize that the outer picture remains grim. We ask you to look beyond the surface. Those who are in power upon your planet have a great tendency to be oriented to service to self. It is natural for this to be so at this time, as the dynamic between service to others and service to self becomes more and more obvious. However, this does not have much to do with life as lived by the majority of those upon your planet.

Now Q’uo said we encourage all wanderers to awaken and to be aware that entities that they meet may be entities of their larger group since there are millions of wanderers upon Earth, and they have in common a love for the planet, for its people, for being in the Creator’s service, and there is a small group of entities who are native to Earth, and they have graduated, but have decided to move back into third-density incarnation to see what they can do to bring the rest of the people of the planet along with them in embracing the Light. Q’uo went on to say there are people who come from different places who have entered our planetary system as souls from other third-density planets that have failed to complete their third density, and these include entities from Mars, where they were unable to finish third density because of creating conditions that made their third-density planet uninhabitable so that these entities have in common with the Indigo wanderers the desire to be stewards of Earth, to stop the destruction of the planet that our people have created over the last 200 years and to restore a healthy third density to leave behind as third-density planet Earth closes itself out. Then Q’uo said this will not occur suddenly in terms of there being a necessity for a sudden change of third to fourth density, but there will be a time of between one and three hundred of our years where our people will be able to continue to incarnate in third density to heal the planet and to harvest those entities who are ready now to choose Light over darkness and Love over fear, and these are the cycles that Q’uo sees at this time, and the great cycle is that cycle of almost 76,000 years that coincides with our astrological periods, and during this 76,000-year period, our Earth has had three minor cycles, so our third cycle has now matured, and its patterns are being completed, and each of our entities is choosing their polarity, their choice of service, and their choice of learning at the soul level. Q’uo continued by saying we are here to speak with those who have chosen to polarize in service to others, to attempt to find out how to open our heart, and to seek the truth of that heart, so they are here to help us in any way that they can with that task which is a formidable one, but they said it has been a pleasure to work with groups such as this one for some of our years now, and Q’uo has seen dawn break upon our planet, and they realized that the outer picture remains grim, so they asked us to look beyond the surface since those who are in power upon our planet have a tendency to be oriented towards service to self, and it is natural for this to be so at this time as the dynamic between service to others and service to self becomes more and more obvious, but this does not have much to do with life as lived by the majority of those upon our planet. On May 28, 2008, Q’uo described how we can deal with the outer picture when it is difficult:

Faith stabilizes you among the chaos of perceptions. Outer perceptions shall always bring conflict. The truth shall always be elusive. Yet as you have faith in yourself and in the innate goodness of your design, you come through the crisis of not liking aspects of yourself, and you find yourself still standing after the storm has passed. The next time there is heavy weather within your heart and mind and soul, you find it easier to maintain faith regardless of the outer picture. And each time thereafter, you find it exponentially easier to remain stable and faithful and serene.

It is a tremendous faculty that is innate within all third-density entities, this faculty of faith. And we encourage contemplation of the word itself, for in it lie untold mysteries and infinite Light. It is often a great help when developing the faculty of faith to have something to which to cling, whether it be a person, an ideal, or some image or icon that has special meaning to you.

Ingeneral, we see the people of your planet awakening in record numbers all over the globe. It is very exciting to see and feel the energies of the people stir and to become aware of the fact that there is something happening of which they can be a part, that it is truly positive, and that it will truly change the face of the Earth. It is a dim awareness but there is a stirring that cannot now be put back to bed. And those among your people who are indeed service to self are most troubled to feel the muscularity and the power of the awakening of the tribes of Earth. It is occurring. Groups small and large have begun banding together for positive purposes, not to gain power or to maintain power, but to share power with those who are powerless. That time is now arriving when the last shall be first, the hungry shall be fed, and the rich shall be sent empty away.

Itis a time of rejoicing, for it is the herald of a new day. There is a great deal of difficulty that is inherent in the changing of the guard. Your planet will continue to go through difficulties. The weather will be disturbed as the natural processes of your planetary change are pursued in an inevitable and appropriate manner. Do not be dismayed. This is a time that may try you physically. You may be caught in difficult weather or in times of trouble where people are without electrical power and have to respond to the trauma through which the planet itself is going as it releases a good deal of what this instrument would describe as hot air. There is a tremendous amount of heat that has been stored in the planet through its natural process of cooling. As the planet expands, there are bands of points of heating that must come up through the crust of the planet and express the extraneous heat, so that the planet itself does not break apart. This has changed your weather patterns.

The tendencies of your more developed cultures to misuse high technology and create further difficulties with the air, the water, and the earth in terms of its organic balance have accentuated these natural processes of planetary change. So, for you who are in incarnation at this time, these cycles have created an interesting and challenging environment in which you can guarantee that things will not stay the same. There is a feeling of planetary change in the climate as well as in the climate of the emotions of the heart of the people. We would encourage you at this time to realize that you are here, not to be concerned with these changes, not to react in fear of them but rather to lend to this environment, which could be distressing for many, the comfort of your faith. Many are listening and looking for some indication that there is hope and a positive expectation possible for those upon planet Earth at this time. And so, we would say to you that if you are awake and if you wish to serve, you are in an excellent position to do so, simply by being who you are.

Please see yourself as magical, powerful parts of the Godhead principle. You are spiritual entities who have chosen to take flesh for very laudable purposes at this time, and we do praise you for having the courage to come into incarnation at a time that is very challenging to the senses. For those who would wish to remain safe and unchallenged, this is a difficult time. We ask you to respond to these waves of intense energy that you are feeling not with fear but with faith. Take this opportunity to stand on your own two feet and remember who you are and why you are here. As you breathe in and as you breathe out you are little lighthouses, able to take that breath and that energy of life and bless it with your firm intention to serve. The glow and the radiance of your beings shall be a beacon for many. You do not have to explain, or discuss, or do anything to be light workers at this time. You have only to be yourselves and to know yourselves. So, we would ask you to investigate and explore who you are and why you are here.

Q’uo went on to say they see the people of our planet awakening in record numbers, and it is exciting to feel the energies of the people becoming aware of the fact that there is something happening which they can be a part of that is positive, and that it will change the face of the Earth, but there is a stirring that cannot be put back to bed so that those among our people who are service to self are most troubled to feel the power of the awakening of the tribes of Earth, and groups small and large have begun banding together for positive purposes, not to gain power, but to share power with those who are powerless, and that time is now arriving when the last shall be first; the hungry shall be fed; and the rich shall be sent away empty.

Q’uo completed their reply by saying that we should see ourself as magical parts of the Godhead principle because we are spiritual entities who have chosen to incarnate for positive purposes at this time, and they praised us for having the courage to incarnate at a time that is challenging to our senses, for those who would wish to remain safe, this is a difficult time, and Q’uo asked us to respond to these waves of intense energy that we are feeling–not with fear–but with faith, and to take this opportunity to stand on our own two feet and remember who we are and why we are here, so as we breathe in and as we breathe out we are little lighthouses, able to take that breath of life and bless it with our intention to serve, and the glow and the radiance of our beings shall be a beacon for many, but we do not have to do anything to be light workers at this time but to be ourselves and to know ourselves, so Q’uo asked us to explore who we are and why we are here. On September 5, 2010, Carla described the power of our intention to serve:

That which you are ready to do, you can do. And you can do it so well. You can do it so beautifully. Always trust yourself. Always listen for your own discernment, not the discernment of anybody else. But, every day, start the day by setting an intention, a polarized intention to serve others in your particular way. Everybody is going to make a different prayer. Everybody is going to set a slightly different intention. But the act of setting that intention creates in you a tremendous awakening of your inner power.

And in a way, the right use of power is heavily connected to polarity and to your moving yourself into a polarized position. When you finally realize that you are a powerful, powerful person and that you are actually magic—you are a co-Creator, actually; to use Ra’s terms you’re a co-co-Creator. That doesn’t matter.

At any rate, the power that you have is awesome and infinite, and when you focus it and when you let loose that focus and you are engaged; and you are paying attention; and you are there; the world becomes an incredible place. And when you realize that with your power, what you forgive is forgiven, that means you can forgive, and it is so. If you judge, it is also so for you. So how do you want to set up your universe? How do you want your creation to run? You want it to run on love probably. That’s the kind of creation you’d like to live in, and you have the power to do that.

We thank you for this question and at this time we would ask if there are any questions with which you would wish to follow up. We are those of Q’uo.

[Pause]

We find that there are no more questions at this time. We thank you for calling this circle. It has been our pleasure to be a part of your meditation, and we have greatly enjoyed the beauty of your vibrations. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We leave you in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai.

This morning, I shoveled some of the mulch next to the Spirea Bushes in the side yard into four 5 gal. buckets and then dumped then on the top of the Wuthering Heights Mound on the south side of the front yard. Then I did the same for the Flower Fall Mound on the north side of the front yard, and then I used a rake to smooth the mulch out on both Mounds. Then I used my shovel to dig the mulch into the Wuthering Heights Mound.

This afternoon I went back outside and used my shovel to dig the mulch into the Flower Fall Mound. The mulch will help the dirt to hold more moisture when I am able to plant flowers on both Mounds in a couple of weeks.

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

March 28

Only This Love Abides

I am of the Holy Spirit of the consciousness of Jesus Christ. I greet you in unconditional and divine Love.

What does the spirit have to say to the world this day? What comfort and consolation may mere words bring to those who dwell in the shadow of death; who live in constant fear of war and rumors of war?

Only this: Love abides. Where is the Spirit in this chaos of society? Love is in every budding flower; in every passing cloud; in the unfurling leaves of Easter days; in the smiles of children too innocent to know the burdens of intelligence. Love is a comfort within you that dwells in your heart.

As Spirit moves across the waters, so the Spirit of Jesus the Christ moves across the waters of your troubled consciousness, saying, “Peace; be still. Be still, and know that I am the Lord, the Master, the chief of a kingdom not visible upon your Earth, but within each heart that beats.” That is the kingdom of which the Comforter speaks.

Gaze you, then, not upon the works of man to see the kingdom of the Father, but upon the works of the Father: the temples made of wildflowers, and trees, and the temple of your own heart and consciousness.

Enter into that tabernacle and be silent. And in that silence shall you find comfort, strength, renewal, and transformation.

We leave you in the peace of the Love that knows no bounds and is forever near, both now and always. 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.

2025-03-27

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 19, 2005:

What exactly is a time lateral and how is it created?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you this day. We want to thank you for creating this circle of seeking and for asking us to share our thoughts with you. As always, we would ask that you be extremely vigilant in monitoring your reactions to our thoughts. If there seems to be resonance to what we have to say, please feel free to use our thoughts in any way that seems helpful to you. If there does not seem to be any resonance to our thoughts, please abandon them and leave them behind. This will enable us to speak freely without being concerned with infringing on your free will or the integrity of your spiritual process.

You ask this day concerning the nature of the time lateral that we have talked about previously with this group. The creation of such a shunt or rail for an alternate track along space/time within your local sector, which you call your solar system, was created for the same kind of reason that a railroad switching station would employ shunts or lateral track systems to hold trains that have, for one reason or another, lost their initial engine. The formation of this sidetrack is that which is created to be precisely parallel to the main track of the solar system which is now finishing an important part of its evolution through its own part of the densities of creation. It was intended to last until your year, approximately 1998. It was provided with the opportunity to link back to the main track of your solar system’s development at that time. Because of the energies of groups such as yours and many others across your planetary sphere, the ability of this shunt or time lateral to maintain traffic across the normal boundaries of your solar system’s and your planet’s development has been enhanced.

There have been energies which have been called forth amongst many of those upon your planet who have been inspired to help in the goal of maintaining the openness of this reconnection point which this instrument feels comfortable calling a bridge. It is a bit easier for us to give her images of a bridge and the way that bridges can be closed because of incoming traffic. For instance, if a bridge is across a river and is split in the middle, it may raise up and allow a tall ship to come through. This is the basic situation with your shunt at this time. It is on the verge of becoming time to raise that bridge and to allow other traffic and other energies to pass athwart or in such a way that that bridge cannot endure.

Andlet us be specific concerning the nature of this time lateral. It is not a time lateral that concerns the planet as a whole. The planet as a whole is unimpeded in its entry into fourth density. The energies of a living third-density system have been encouraged to continue for the approximate ten to twelve years further that this shunt can stay physically open in terms of space/time. This is to say that, by the energies of unconditional love which are generated by the prayers, meditations and visualizations of groups such as this one, the bridge or reconnection point has been maintained for those who would wish to awaken and make their choice of polarity by the date which has been set as the last possible date to keep this connection point open, which, as we have said before and still find to be true, is the date of the winter solstice of the year 2012.

This cannot be said to be precise. It is not known to us just when the last entity will be able to cross that bridge. The choice of many entities is involved in maintaining such a bridge. And indeed, the traffic across the bridge of those who awaken and make their choice also has its part in keeping the bridge open until the last possible moment. The more traffic upon that bridge and the more guardians who stand watch along the bridge, holding and anchoring the incoming Light of fourth density on the one hand, and acknowledging, honoring, and blessing the waning Light of third density on the other hand, the fuller the harvest may be. This is the entire core of the exercise of creating this time lateral.

The group question for this session was: “What exactly is a time lateral, and how is it created?” Q’uo began by saying you ask this day concerning the nature of the time lateral that they have talked about previously with this group, and the creation of such a rail for an alternate track along space/time within our local sector, which we call our solar system, was created for the same kind of reason that a railroad switching station would employ lateral track systems to hold trains that have lost their initial engine, so the formation of this sidetrack is that which is created to be parallel to the main track of the solar system which is now finishing part of its evolution through its part of the densities of creation, and it was intended to last until our year 1998, and it was provided with the opportunity to link back to the main track of our solar system’s development at that time because of the energies of groups such as ours and many others across our planetary sphere, the ability of this time lateral to maintain traffic across the normal boundaries of our solar system’s and our planet’s development has been enhanced. Q’uo went on to say that there have been energies which have been called forth amongst many upon our planet who have been inspired to help in the goal of maintaining the openness of this reconnection point which Carla calls a bridge, and it is easier for Q’uo to give her images of a bridge and the way that bridges can be closed because of incoming traffic so that if a bridge is across a river and is split in the middle, it may raise up and allow a tall ship to come through, and this is the situation with our rail at this time since it is on the verge of becoming time to raise that bridge and to allow traffic and other energies to pass in such a way that that bridge cannot endure. Q’uo continued by saying the nature of this time lateral does not concern the planet as a whole because the planet is unimpeded in its entry into fourth density so that the energies of this living third-density system have been encouraged to continue for ten to twelve years further that this rail can stay open in terms of space/time which is to say that, by the energies of unconditional Love which are generated by the prayers, meditations, and visualizations of groups such as this one, the bridge has been maintained for those of us who would wish to make our choice of polarity by the date which has been set as the last possible date to keep this connection point open, as Q’uo still finds to be true, and it is the date of the winter solstice of the year 2012. Now Q’uo said this cannot be said to be precise since it is not known to them just when the last entity will be able to cross that bridge, and the choice of many of us is involved in maintaining such a bridge, and the traffic across the bridge of those of us who make our choice also has its part in keeping the bridge open until the last possible moment, so the more traffic upon that bridge and the more guardians who stand watch along the bridge, anchoring the incoming Light of fourth density on the one hand, and honoring the waning Light of third density, the fuller the harvest may be, and this is the core of the exercise of creating this time lateral. On December 23, 2001, Q’uo described the Light of fourth density:

So, the first entity that you must fall in love with in order to form a social memory complex is yourself. If you can fall in love with the shadow self of your own 360 degree being you have become far, far more vulnerable to the Light that is the new Light of fourth density. So much of the Light that you call to yourself is created by the nexus of desire and emotion within which you are seeking the Light. So, all aspects of Light feed into making third density into fourth density because all aspects of Light can be illuminated by Love. Love makes food taste better. Love makes gardens bloom better. Love makes children grow healthier. Love makes businesses thrive. Love will also make positive fourth density occur because the Love energy within many of your people is now approaching that energy which is the graduated third density, the Christ energy.

Letus talk to a certain extent about this time lateral and how it came to be necessary. As the ones known as P and B are far more aware than this instrument, there is a separation that is inevitable between higher and lower energies. As fourth density has now completely interpenetrated third density and is as active as third density and indeed gaining in energy while third density wanes, the vibration of each of the entities upon planet Earth becomes more and more critical in terms of being able to physically remain viable and functional within the third-density energy that is so heavily overarched and under-girded with the interpenetrating fourth-density energy.

Inthis environment, third-density entities who have not made their choice become buffeted by the energies that are crashing upon your planet in waves at this time. These waves are all perfectly normal and completely benign. They are a part of the awakening of the morning of the fourth-density day. Nevertheless, these energies have the side effect for the people of the planet of encouraging polarity. If there is a slight choice for service to others, it creates enhanced opportunities to make deeper and firmer choices of service to others, and the same is true for those who are service to self. There are increasing and markedly more attractive or seductive opportunities to choose the ways of service to self. For those who do not wish to make either choice, there is the lifestyle lived precisely as the fifth-density entities who are enthusiastic about maintaining this time lateral wish to keep in place.

So, on the one hand you have a well-meaning set of guardians of your planet who, gazing at the difficult time that your planetary tribe has had in achieving graduation, chose to create an enhanced opportunity for a last-ditch effort, shall we say. Wanderers came forward, some of whom have been here for fifty of your years, some forty, some thirty, and so forth. In addition, you have entities who have come in the last twenty years or so who are approaching this problem from the fourth-density angle, sending entities such as the one known as P, who have certain activation within fourth density as well as having third-density activated energy. These entities also are those who would wish to maintain this opportunity for the harvesting of as many entities as possible before the time literally runs out.

On the other hand, you have opportunistic entities of a negative polarity from fifth density who have discovered that there is a characteristic of this planet which is unusual and of which they may take advantage. They are busily doing that and have been doing so for some of your time. The situation about which we speak is this: as we have said before, the planetary population is made up not only of those entities who are native to your planet. For the most part and for the great majority, your planetary population consists of those who have been imported from other failed third-density planetary cycles. Many of those upon your planet, then, are those who have either destroyed their planet completely through acts of war using advanced technology or are those who have for one reason or another been unable to finish out their normal cycles upon their native earths. Therefore, you have adopted each other as a kind of mixed bag, shall we say, of many differing planetary origins.

Then Q’uo said let us talk about this time lateral and how it came to be necessary because there is a separation that is inevitable between higher and lower energies so that as fourth density has completely interpenetrated third density, and is as active as third density, and is gaining in energy while third density wanes, the vibration of each of us upon Earth becomes more critical in terms of being able to remain functional within the third-density energy that is so heavily overarched and under-girded with the interpenetrating fourth-density energy. Now Q’uo said in this environment, third-density entities who have not made their choice become buffeted by the energies that are crashing upon our planet in waves at this time, and these waves are normal and benign because they are a part of the awakening of the morning of the fourth-density day so that these energies have the side effect for the people of the planet of encouraging polarity, for if there is a choice for service to others, it creates enhanced opportunities to make deeper choices of service to others, and the same is true for those who are service to self, and there are increasing opportunities to choose the ways of service to self, and for those who do not wish to make either choice, there is the lifestyle lived as the fifth-density negative entities who are enthusiastic about maintaining this time lateral wish to keep in place. Q’uo went on to say on the one hand we have a well-meaning set of guardians of our planet who, gazing at the difficult time that our planetary tribe has had in achieving graduation, chose to create an enhanced opportunity for a last-ditch effort, so wanderers came forward along with entities who have come in who are approaching this problem from the fourth-density angle, sending entities who have certain activation within fourth density as well as having third-density activated energy, and these entities also wish to maintain this opportunity for the harvesting of as many entities as possible before the time literally runs out. Q’uo continued by saying we have entities of negative polarity from fifth density who have discovered that there is a characteristic of this planet which is unusual which they may take advantage of, and they are have been busily doing that for some of our time so that the situation is that the planetary population is made up not only of those entities who are native to our planet, but our planetary population consists of those who have incarnated from other failed third-density planetary cycles, and many of those upon our planet are those who have either destroyed their planet completely through acts of war using advanced technology, or are those who have for one reason or another been unable to finish their normal cycles upon their native earths, so we have adopted each other as a kind of mixed bag of many differing planetary origins. On August 11, 1985, L/Leema spoke of the many differing planetary origins of the population of Earth:

There is a further point which may be very helpful to those who wish to work with prejudice within themselves in order to become free of prejudice and become free to discriminate more freely and that is this. Prejudice is, to some extent, an instinct based upon the ultimate origin of the various races of your planetary sphere. Because more than one planetary sphere produced third-density candidates which have experienced third density upon this sphere, those of different planetary influences have fundamentally various archetypical minds, that is, part of their archetypical minds, that part connected with the racial consciousness, is in some cases subtly, in other cases widely different from race to race. The instinctive bias is that of the recognition of a difference. This is the fundamental instinctual and root reason for prejudice or prejudgment. It is not, however, valid in the sense that mind/body/spirit complexes are each the Creator, regardless of their planetary origins. Each, furthermore, has put in the span of third density’s space/time attempting to learn the same lessons of Love which each has attempted to learn. Therefore, the racial component becomes less and less as the entity becomes more and more consciously a child of the one infinite Creator.

This means that you have the attempt to integrate many differing subconscious or archetypical systems of looking at and structuring information. You do not have a homogeneous population. You have a population that has enormous difficulty in communicating because of the great variety of those groups, speaking in terms of planetary origins, among its tribe. Nevertheless, the entire gamble of Earth in third density was to see if such a polyglot group of entities could mold themselves into a tribe with all embracing planet Earth, all becoming aware of their true situation as regards the need to make a choice of service to others or service to self, and all having a great desire to restore or reconstitute the planet Earth where there was a group karma, shall we say, to be balanced, as so many entities had been involved actively in previous planets where, by their own choices, the planet was damaged, as in the case of Mars, or completely destroyed, as in the case of Maldek.

The first and perhaps the most disastrous of the experiments of rebuilding the tribe of Earth and creating or recreating a level of technology which was well remembered by many entities from previous planetary experiences was that of Atlantis. In this pattern’s outworking, those within Atlantis came to power at a time when their technology had grown sufficiently to offer the opportunity for advanced applications such as crystal technology. These leaders, instead of embracing the ideals of service to others, embraced what can perhaps be called the path of conditional service. This is a path of service to self which is overlaid heavily by the rhetoric of service to others. It is a situation which initially was innocent. Those involved did not see that rather than polarizing fully service to others there was a good deal of rationalizing and sophistic thinking which justified exceptions to various rules of ethics and which involved infringing upon the free will of entities which were considered less valuable or intelligent than others.

This pattern of exclusion and manipulation of entities considered as lesser is the initial point of departure from service-to-others polarity. Because of these choices, eventually those who had previously created disasters on other planetary spheres created the first disaster upon the sphere of Earth, sinking the continent known as Atlantis. The wise and the clever—that is, those polarized positively and those polarized negatively—managed to remove themselves to other continents in sufficient number that these energies never left your planetary vibration. And if you will examine your written history, you may see a pattern of empire: its building, its maintenance, and its eventual and inevitable destruction, played out again and again.

Into the pattern of this repetitive, self-destructive behavior among the population of planet Earth came those who were watching for the opportunity to present itself to make use of this time lateral. For if entities such as your group are unable to clear the population of your planet from this lateral, there are ways in which the negatively-oriented entities have every hope of keeping the time lateral viable. It would no longer be attached to the main track. That opportunity shall soon be closed. Nevertheless, those that believe that they are in the appropriate place for themselves could choose to remain not polarized either positively or negatively but simply as those who would remain on third-density Earth as it reverts to late second density.

Now Q’uo said this means that we have the attempt to integrate  different subconscious systems of structuring information since we do not have a homogeneous population, but we have a population that has difficulty in communicating because of the variety of those groups in terms of planetary origins among our tribe so that the gamble of Earth in third density was to see if such a diverse group of entities could mold themselves into a tribe with all embracing planet Earth, and all becoming aware of their true situation as regards the need to make a choice of service to others or service to self, and all having a desire to restore the planet Earth where there was a group karma to be balanced, as so many entities had been involved in previous planets where, by their own choices, the planet was damaged, as in the case of Mars, or completely destroyed, as in the case of Maldek.

Q’uo continued by saying this pattern of manipulation of entities considered as lesser is the initial point of departure from service-to-others polarity, and because of these choices, those who had previously created disasters on other planets created the first disaster upon Earth, sinking the continent of Atlantis, but those polarized positively and those polarized negatively removed themselves to other continents in sufficient number that these energies never left our planetary vibration, and if we examine our written history, we may see a pattern of empire: its building, its maintenance, and its inevitable destruction, played out again and again. Then Q’uo said into the pattern of this self-destructive behavior among the population of planet Earth came those who were watching for the opportunity to make use of this time lateral, for if entities such as our group are unable to clear the population of our planet from this lateral, there are ways in which the negatively-oriented entities have hope of keeping the time lateral viable, but it would no longer be attached to the main track as that opportunity shall soon be closed, but those that believe that they are in the appropriate place could choose to remain not polarized either positively or negatively but simply as those who would remain on third-density Earth as it reverts to late second density. In 10.15, Ra spoke of the destruction of Atlantis:

Approximately eleven thousand [11,000] of your years ago, the first of the, what you call, wars, caused approximately forty percent of this population to leave the density by means of disintegration of the body. The second and most devastating of the conflicts occurred approximately one oh eight two one, ten thousand eight hundred twenty-one [10,821] years in the past according to your illusion. This created an earth-changing configuration and the large part of Atlantis was no more, having been inundated. Three of the positively oriented of the Atlantean groups left this geographical locus before that devastation, placing themselves in the mountain areas of what you call Tibet, what you call Peru, and what you call Turkey.

These entities would no longer be enlivened by third-density entities who have the power of free will that could make the choice of service to self or service to others. They would be instinctual, great-ape-type beings who look like you do because that is the genetic pool that now exists upon planet Earth. However, these entities would simply be slaves of a kind that spent their lives living a life much as you now experience it: a life without a good deal of variety, a life that is not concerned with coming into harmony as a planetary system but is only concerned with the tribe of its family and its clan, with protecting the resources of that family and clan, and of defending that family and clan.

Whatthe fifth-density entities, which you may call, as this instrument has jokingly done, “space pirates,” have in mind is simply to have a continuing harvest of food, that food being fear. You may see the creation of an atmosphere of fear in your governmental systems in your present culture. Indeed, we find from this instrument’s mind there have been several conversations concerning this precise point recently among those who sit within this circle. The goal, therefore, of those who wish to aid planet Earth at this time is firstly to express the situation of the choice, without concern for numbers but only with concern for making an appropriate effort to, as this instrument would say, get the word out globally; to share the information of the Confederation as regards this being the density of choice and there being time yet for making that choice.

A secondary effort at this time, but one which will grow increasingly stronger and which will, within the next several of your years, become more important by far than alerting the population of this planet, is the concern for the planet itself. For there are many, many entities upon this planet whose route or road to realization of their true situation involves becoming aware of and responsive to the sad plight of the planet itself and the fact that your culture and your way of life are gradually destroying the viability of this planet. The desire to change this pattern is a key to the activation of the will to choose in many entities whose energies are unconsciously but deeply involved with connecting with restitution and the energies of stewardship and unconditional Love, not so much to the people of the planet as to the planet itself.

That is the situation as we know it with the time lateral at this time. It is not a situation that will endure. We would, however, emphasize that there is no serious disturbance that is even possible to be balanced, either of the planet or of the solar system. There is in progress a desperate gamble on the part of negative entities, as we had mentioned before, to attempt to hijack the time lateral. Getting information more globally available is the best means of creating a balance to the situation that makes it impossible for this gamble to work. The best help the negative entities have, however, is not negative entities as much as it is the deep sleep of those who are unawakened at this time. It is to the interest of the negative entities that that sleep be continued as untroubled and peaceful as possible.

Q’uo continued by saying these entities would no longer be enlivened by third-density entities who have the power of free will that could make the choice of service to self or service to others because they would be great-ape-type beings who look like we do because that is the genetic pool that now exists upon planet Earth, but these entities would be slaves that spent their lives living a life much as we now experience it: a life with little variety, a life that is not concerned with coming into harmony as a planetary system but is only concerned with the tribe of its family and its clan, with protecting the resources of that family and clan, and of defending that family and clan. Then Q’uo said what the fifth-density entities, which Carla called “space pirates,” have in mind is to have a continuing harvest of fear that would be their food, and we may see the creation of an atmosphere of fear in our governmental systems in our present culture, and Q’uo said Carla had conversations concerning this point recently with those who sit within this circle so that the goal of those who wish to aid planet Earth at this time is to express the situation of the choice, without concern for numbers but only with concern for making an appropriate effort to, as Carla would say, get the word out globally; to share the information of the Confederation as regards this being the density of choice and there being time yet for making that choice. Now Q’uo said a secondary effort that will become more important by far than alerting the population of this planet, is the concern for the planet itself because there are many entities upon this planet whose road to realization of their true situation involves becoming aware of and responsive to the sad plight of our planet itself and the fact that our way of life is gradually destroying the viability of this planet, and the desire to change this pattern is a key to the activation in many entities of the will to choose to connect with restitution and the energies of stewardship and unconditional Love, not so much to the people of the planet as to the planet itself. Q’uo went on to say that is the situation as they know it with the time lateral at this time, but it is not a situation that will endure, but Q’uo emphasized that there is no serious disturbance that is possible to be balanced, either of the planet or of the solar system, and there is in progress a gamble on the part of negative entities to attempt to hijack the time lateral, so getting information more globally available is the best means of creating a balance to the situation that makes it impossible for this gamble to work, and the best help the negative entities have is not more choices of the negative path as much as it is the sleep of those who are unawakened at this time so that it is to the interest of the negative entities that that sleep be continued for as long as possible. On November 25, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the need for us to provide stewardship of our planet Earth:

Though there are many efforts that have had marked success in attempting the rebalancing and healing of your planet’s ruptures, we find that there shall be for some period of time that is significant in your measure of time, a remaining evidence of this disharmony that will necessitate a continuation of this healing process into the fourth-density experience that has begun upon this sphere at this time. We encourage all such efforts at not only healing that which has been broken, but in ceasing to cause further damage by the conscious application of those principles of stewardship which each entity and culture creates and undertakes as a way of life and realizes as a standard of living, or of relationship, each with the other and with the planet itself.

Energies such as your religious bodies and what this instrument calls the “religious right,” those entities who lean heavily upon dogma and whose teachings are based on fear and judgment, are the leaders of the pack in maintaining the lack of choice among entities who indeed have translated spirituality into a religiosity in which the concern is simply to belong to the appropriate pack and to be a part of that pack by following blindly any directives given by the leaders of that group. We realize that gazing at this situation, there is the possibility of creating within oneself an easy and seductive anger, or even rage. We would encourage each of you to take this entire situation lightly, to let it slide off your back. This is not a burden for you to pick up. This is not something for which you can be responsible or over which you have any control.

Whatyou have, in terms of your ability to serve at this time, is primarily your own deepening awareness of what it is to choose; what it is to choose so deeply that the rest of your life becomes a joy. What it is to choose so completely that there is no longer the need to spend time questioning whether faith is the answer, whether service is the answer, or whether one particular kind of service is better than another, and so forth. When the choice for service to others has been absolute, there is a knowing that comes. It is a knowing that transcends planning. It is a knowing that includes the awareness that you really do not have control over anything but your own desires, your own will, and your own persistence.

We ask you who wish to serve at this time to look to your own self-awareness and self-knowledge and to be aware and trust completely in the fact that you are part of a web of Love. Your work has been effective because you have chosen the very difficult path of working in groups. The energy of the group and the energy of groups of such groups is now that which is challenged to undertake what this instrument has called a new paradigm. What is that new paradigm, you may ask. But it is not for us to answer the question. It is for you. It is certainly not building upon anything that has been seen before, for the old ways have failed. Yet there stirs within the hearts of so many the sure and absolute knowledge that there is a way to create harmony, power, and balance once again at the dusk and the evening of third density. This instrument is fond of saying that she likes to leave a room tidy when she leaves it, as good as it was when she came into it or perhaps even better. That is your work at this time.

You are those who stand as guardians and anchors of Light, holding that bridge open, and, by your vibrations and your thoughts, radiating the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator with your own coloration out into the ambient atmosphere. You are an agent of infection. You are infecting people with the highest and the best of your love. Witness your opportunity to offer your love. You will find, as you attempt to do this, that there is resistance down every path. This is inevitable and ever more inevitable at this fairly radical and extreme point at the end of your cycle that you are now experiencing. We find this to be sufficient information from that question and would ask if there is a further query at this time.

Q’uo said that energies such as our religious bodies and what Carla calls the “religious right,” are those entities who lean upon dogma, and whose teachings are based on fear and judgment, are maintaining the lack of choice among entities who have translated spirituality into a religiosity in which the concern is simply to belong to the appropriate pack and to be a part of that pack by following any directives given by the leaders of that group, and Q’uo realized that gazing at this situation, there is the possibility of creating within ourself a seductive anger, and they encouraged each of us to take this situation lightly because this is not a burden for us to pick up or over which we have any control. Q’uo went on to say what we have, in terms of our ability to serve at this time, is our deepening awareness of what it is to choose so deeply that the rest of our life becomes a joy, and what it is to choose so completely that there is no longer the need to spend time questioning whether faith is the answer, or whether service is the answer because when the choice for service to others has been absolute, there is a knowing that comes that transcends planning, and that includes the awareness that we really do not have control over anything but our own desires and our own will. Q’uo continued by asking us to look to our self-awareness and to trust completely in the fact that we are part of a web of Love, and our work has been effective because we have chosen the difficult path of working in groups where the energy of the group is now that which is challenged to undertake what Carla has called a new paradigm, but Q’uo said it was not for them to answer the question of what the new paradigm was because it was for us to answer, although it does not build upon anything that has been seen before, for the old ways have failed, but there stirs within the hearts of so many the absolute knowledge that there is a way to create harmony and balance once again at the evening of third density, and Carla is fond of saying that she likes to leave a room tidy when she leaves it, and that is our work at this time. Q’uo completed their reply by saying we are those who stand as guardians of Light, holding that bridge open, and by our vibrations radiating the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator with our coloration out into the atmosphere since we are inspiring people with the highest and the best of our love, and when we witness our opportunity to offer our love, we will find that there is resistance down every path, and this is inevitable at this radical point at the end of our cycle. On September 27, 2008, Q’uo described a part of the nature of the new paradigm:

As wanderers have come into Planet Earth for incarnation, and as the population of the planet from whatever source has slowly begun to hunger and thirst for the new paradigm of love and understanding, the Earth has been able to take hold and to respond to this lightening that is ongoing. It is easy to look at the many extreme weather problems that your globe has been experiencing and cry doom, but we would suggest to you that these frequent catastrophes are a very good sign. They are the sign that Planet Earth has regained enough strength to do the balancing that she must do in order to absorb and eliminate this aggressive and hostile energy that has been pumped into her for so long, in stages, rather than all at once.

P: What you were saying sounded a bit synchronistic with Psi-Corps, and I wanted to know, first of all, about the free will aspect. It would seem like a major violation of the distortion of free will for a time lateral to be created. In conjunction with what you were saying about the time lateral being created, it sounded like an experiment almost on planet Earth. Could you elaborate on that?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator has indeed experimented repeatedly with the planet which you call Earth and which this instrument calls Gaia. There was a realization that entities would need to begin with an entirely new planetary and solar system if the experiment of Earth did not succeed. And so, it was proposed that this time lateral be created and that what this instrument would call a kind of reform school be instituted upon the planet. The idea was simply to increase the harvest and to break some significant knots of fear that had occurred in unusual quantities within your fairly local area of space/time.

It was felt that there was a lot of risk involved with the experiment, but it was felt that there was the possibility of bringing many, many entities into a configuration where true choice would become possible. And, in terms of this basic intention, the experiment has been a roaring success.

[Side one of tape ends.]

There has been a genuine, authentic time of choice that has been created out of the nothingness of previously impossible lack of time. However, like any experiment, it has a period: a beginning, a middle, and an ending. The beginning was before history began upon your planet. You have a fair view of the history of the middle. You gaze now at the end point of this experiment. It is impossible for us to say how many souls or spirits or beings shall have been harvested that were not harvested before because of the creation of the time lateral. But we can say that there has been an additional harvest because of the efforts of all entities involved, whether they be Earth natives, elder race, walk-ins, wanderer or other categories of those who walk upon your Earth.

The end point is at this time rapidly approaching because the energies are precipitating out of third density, either moving on to fourth density or moving back to late second density, getting ready for removal to another solar system for the beginning of a new effort in moving through third density. The likelihood of the negative entities that this instrument has called the space pirates being successful is almost nil. It is extremely doubtful that they would be able to bring through enough intensity of fear to create, again, such a knot that it would be the choice of those entities remaining to refrain from being at all aware as third-density entities. This would have to be a choice made by each entity. The energy that attracts entities to choices like this is that energy of fanaticism which creates situation in which people would rather die for a cause than live in freedom.

The tendency of your planetary people is not to make such a choice but rather to maintain enough confusion to allow the normal harvesting procedures to precipitate them out of the time lateral and into a beginning class, shall we say, for a new third-density experience. Whenever entities are attempting to serve and lend their aid there is the possibility of infringement upon free will. Looked at from a system-wide point of view, there is certainly the possibility of feeling that the Confederation, choosing to make this experiment occur, was in error. In the ways of all energy, such errors shall and will be balanced, and it is our intention to be part of the energy that loves, accepts, and embraces all of those who are engaged in this experiment on all of the inner and outer planes connecting with this planet.

P’s question was: “What you were saying sounded a bit synchronistic with Psi-Corps, and I wanted to know, first of all, about the free will aspect. It would seem like a major violation of the distortion of free will for a time lateral to be created. In conjunction with what you were saying about the time lateral being created, it sounded like an experiment almost on planet Earth. Could you elaborate on that?” Q’uo began by saying the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator has experimented with the planet which we call Earth and which Carla calls Gaia, and there was a realization that entities would need to begin with a new planetary and solar system if the experiment of Earth did not succeed, so it was proposed that this time lateral be created, and that what Carla would call a reform school be instituted upon the planet so that the idea was to increase the harvest and to break some significant knots of fear that had occurred in unusual quantities within our local area of space/time. Q’uo went on to say that it was felt that there was risk involved with the experiment, but it was felt that there was the possibility of bringing many entities into a configuration where true choice would become possible, and, in terms of this intention, the experiment has been a roaring success, so there has been a genuine time of choice that has been created out of the nothingness of previously impossible lack of time, but, like any experiment, it has a beginning, a middle, and an ending, and the beginning was before history began upon your planet; we have a fair view of the history of the middle; and we gaze now at the end point of this experiment, but it is impossible for us to say how many souls shall have been harvested that were not harvested before because of the creation of the time lateral, but we can say that there has been an additional harvest because of the efforts of all entities involved, whether they be Earth natives, elder race, walk-ins, wanderers, or other categories of those who walk upon your Earth. Q’uo continued by saying that the end point is at this time approaching because the energies are moving out of third density, either moving on to fourth density or moving back to late second density, getting ready for removal to another solar system for the beginning of a new effort in moving through third density, and the chance of the negative entities that Carla has called the space pirates being successful is almost zero, and it is doubtful that they would be able to bring through enough intensity of fear to create, again, such a knot that it would be the choice of those entities remaining to refrain from being at all aware as third-density entities because this would have to be a choice made by each entity, and the energy that attracts entities to choices like this is that energy of fanaticism which creates a situation in which people would rather die for a cause than live in freedom. Q’uo completed their reply by saying the tendency of our planetary people is not to make such a choice but rather to maintain enough confusion to allow the normal harvesting procedures to precipitate them out of the time lateral and into a beginning class for a new third-density experience so that whenever entities are attempting to serve and lend their aid there is the possibility of infringement upon free will, so looked at from a system-wide point of view, there is certainly the possibility of feeling: “that the Confederation, choosing to make this experiment occur, was in error. In the ways of all energy, such errors shall and will be balanced, and it is our intention to be part of the energy that loves, accepts, and embraces all of those who are engaged in this experiment on all of the inner and outer planes connecting with this planet.” On April 14, 2007, Q’uo described the basic function of a time lateral:

However, the work of many groups such as this one has created the possibility of a strengthened and lengthened track in the time lateral so that the maximum number of entities may awaken and choose whether to serve others or to serve the self before the time of such choice has passed. Once again, there will be no physical change when this time has passed. There will only be a change in the core vibration of the atoms of your universe, atom by atom, cell by cell, being by being.

You have asked if the experience of the time lateral is like the holo-deck and we would say that, indeed, whether you speak of the time lateral that you have experienced, with its careful isolation and insulation from the full spectrum of thought available in the infinite creation of the Father, or whether you speak of the main track, you have the same material and one single agenda for moving forward and fulfilling your hopes for progress within your present lifetime within third density.

May we answer you further, my brother?

P: A friend of ours has started hearing voices in his head and is concerned that it might be a sign of schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder. Are there any comments you can offer to help him through this process?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We find that this instrument has every intention at the first possible moment of working with this entity by e-mail. And because of the fact that her service is soon to be manifested, it would be our request that the entity to whom you refer read and digest the gist of the material that this instrument will make available. And then, when it has processed that which may considered a starting load of information, which we would as soon not repeat through this instrument at this time, have this entity ask questions of us which we may address at a future session.

If that would be acceptable to you, that is what we would prefer to do, for we would not wish to tire this instrument, whose energy is already waning, with the repetition of information that is readily available. Is this acceptable to you, my brother?

P: Of course.

We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you for this. We find we have energy for one more question at this time.

P: This one concerns how a social memory complex such as yourself would express creativity. How do you express creativity, such as an individual expresses beauty through artistic expression?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We find it most humorous that you would ask this question because of the burden of our comments today. They have been about an experiment in beauty and truth which is called planet Earth. The time lateral experiment, which is your planetary school of learning, was crafted by us with tremendous creativity, love, and caring. The intentions of all of those involved in the creation and maintenance of this planet in its special circumstances is a very good example of the kind of beauty that social memory complexes might create if they have chosen as their role the guardianship of a space/time continuum such as that of your solar system.

In general, let us simply say that when groups of entities create, the energies of creation are very much the same as when individuals create. The time that it takes to create is extended dramatically, for the commonalities of all of those within the group must be gathered and balanced in a continuing cycle of increasing self-awareness and increasing focus so that when choices are made as to how to proceed along the lines of the preservation or the creation of a thing of beauty, or a thing that has form and function, there is the fullest possible realization on the part of all entities involved.

Each entity within a social memory complex is known to the other entities in terms of the contents of that entity’s mind. What is not known until the entities engage at a very deep level with each other is what the dynamics of connection between each and every member of a social memory complex shall create as a pattern. It is from that pattern of commonality that the creations of a social memory complex come. We realize that we have only scratched the surface of any of these questions and are more than happy to continue to offer our humble thoughts through this instrument at a future time. You have only to create the opportunity and we shall make every attempt to be with you.

We thank this instrument and each of you for creating this circle of seeking. It has been our true pleasure to share the beauty of your vibrations and your meditations at this time. Again, we ask each of you to guard your thoughts. We are not perfect, and we have no desire to be an authority among you. But we are most happy to share our humble opinions. We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We leave you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and used the garden hoe to weed the Spirea Bush Garden next to the fishpond because the trimmer didn’t do a very good job yesterday. Then I put four 5-gallon buckets of mulch on the Flower Fall Mound in the front yard, and four 5-gallon buckets of mulch on the Wuthering Heights Mound on the other side of the front yard.

This afternoon I put another two buckets of mulch on both the Flower Fall Mound and the Wuthering Heights Mound with a plan to dig the mulch into both mounds tomorrow morning so that the soil will hold more moisture when it comes time to plant flowers in both mounds next month.

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

March 27

A Nation Of Priests

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

The concept of nations among your people has not been aided by the Holy Spirit’s work within those who long ago formed the nation you call Israel.

Let the spirit of Christ proclaim that humankind is a nation of priests, an order holy to God. The state of Israel was not intended literally, nor do any nations, namings or boundaries form a portion of the full and perfect consciousness which is Love.

Nay! Rather, Love is that city within each which, like Jerusalem of your holy works, shines with the gems, pearls, and precious metals, seas of crystal and Light without limit.

The kingdom of heaven, not the kingdom or nation of Israel or any other place, is the native land of humankind. Its comforts reach out to you. Its beacon calls. And all the memories of home thrill one’s spirit as one gazes about the confusingly alien landscape of the smaller life of Earth-bound things.

Think not that a holy nation must needs conquer or be conquered. For the only nation that shall be holy shall be the nation with open arms and free consciousness to Love all as priests of God in Christ should indeed do. Only in undifferentiated Love may peace come to comfort the pilgrim.

We leave you in peace, now and forever. 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 18, 2005:

(Question chosen by PLW poll) I read Q’uo’s response in PlanetLightWorker magazine to the question about densities and vibrations. The Q’uo group spoke about seven densities in an octave. Others in the esoteric world speak of twelve dimensions. Can you explain the difference?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We come in the Creator’s service to respond to the call of the circle of seeking this day. May we thank each of you for setting aside the time to create a circle of seeking and for calling for us to share information with you. It is our pleasure and our privilege so to do. As always, we would ask of you that you are very careful in your discrimination. Set aside any thought of ours that does not immediately appeal to you. If you will take care to guard the gateway to your own thoughts, then we shall feel free to share our opinions without being concerned that we might infringe upon your free will. It is crucial to us that we share information without such infringement, so we thank each of you for this consideration.

Thequery this day concerns the system of chakras that is used to structure the way that you think about your energy body. The question itself actually used the terms density and dimension. However, we believe we grasp that the actual intent of the query is more in terms of the internal workings of the body system rather than the macrocosmic point of view in which densities of the creation are considered. We apologize if we misunderstand or mis-speak because of this misunderstanding. However, we believe that the point of interest of the query has to do with looking at the system of the physical vehicle and its connections with the metaphysical universe in the form of the energy body that interpenetrates your physical body, and so we shall answer according to our understanding of this question as somewhat revised from the original statement.

We would take note of the way the question was phrased in simply saying that there is no true difference in the way that density and dimension are used, so that whether you are talking about the third dimension or the third density it is, in general, understood by students of metaphysical work that one is speaking of a quantum or certain kind of energy. The more appropriate of the two words for working with the concept of the octave of densities in creation is the word density rather than dimension. However, these two words are used interchangeably for the most part, not only by this instrument but also by many others whose works this instrument has read.

Thedensities, macrocosmically speaking, are reproduced faithfully within the energy of each and every entity that is in incarnation on planet Earth at this time. Each of you has an energy body which contains elements that are as true in pitch as the notes of a scale. The difference between conventional octaves within your Western modalities of physical notation creates a choice of various scales among the twelve notes that make up the diatonic scale, so-called, within one octave of one your musical instruments. In music this twelve-tone scale is a creation whereby in twelve half-tones the tones are created from octave to octave so that the twelfth tone is the same as the first.

That diatonic scale sounds like this.

[Carla sings the twelve-tone scale of one octave.]

In contrast, the major scale chooses eight of those twelve notes and sounds like this.

[Carla sings the octave with an eight-tone scale.]

There is a minor scale, and there are modal scales within the Western system of musical notation, all of which have eight notes. It is to be noted in this regard, still speaking of music, that in the Eastern or Oriental ways of producing tone, there is no precise way of grading notes. Not only are quarter-tones appreciated and differentiated but also those who are gifted musically can produce by their voice or upon an instrument that is unfretted  an infinite number of gradations which have values less than a quarter-tone. This is why Eastern music is fundamentally different in its effect upon the listener than Western music. Western music lives in modular boxes of differentiation that have neat and regular borders, whereas the Oriental approach offers an infinite landscape in which to create tone. If one gazes into the thinking and the culture of the West and the East, we would suggest that many inferences could be drawn by this difference. The tendency of the Western or Occidental orientation of mind is to choose the major scale or one of the eight-tone scales to listen to in music. It is not by chance that this choice is natural to the Occidental culture.

The group question for this session was: “The Q’uo group spoke about seven densities in an octave. Others in the esoteric world speak of twelve dimensions. Can you explain the difference?” Q’uo began by saying the query today concerns the system of chakras that is used to structure the way that we think about our energy body, and the question used the terms density and dimension, but they believed that the intention of the query is more in terms of the internal workings of our body system rather than the macrocosmic point of view in which densities of the creation are considered, and Q’uo apologized if they misunderstood, but they believed that the point of the query has to do with looking at the system of the body and its connections with the metaphysical universe in the form of the energy body that interpenetrates our physical body, and so they answered according to their understanding of this question as somewhat revised from the original statement. Q’uo continued by saying we would take note of the way the question was phrased in saying that there is no difference in the way that density and dimension are used, so that whether we are talking about the third dimension or the third density it is understood by students of metaphysical work that we are speaking of a certain kind of energy, and the more appropriate of the two words for working with the concept of the octave of densities in creation is the word density, but these two words are used interchangeably for the most part, not only by Carla but also by others whose works she has read. Q’uo went on by saying the densities, in their completeness, are reproduced within the energy of each of us that is in incarnation on Earth at this time, and each of us has an energy body which contains elements that are as true in pitch as the notes of a scale, but the difference between conventional octaves within our Western physical way of notation creates a choice of various scales among the twelve notes that make up the diatonic scale within one octave of one our musical instruments so that in music this twelve-tone scale is a creation whereby in twelve half-tones the tones are created from octave to octave so that the twelfth tone is the same as the first.

That diatonic scale sounds like this.

[Carla sings the twelve-tone scale of one octave.]

On December 19, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our energy body:

For a true spiritual seeker, balance is fundamentally that estate which is achieved when each of the chakras of your energy body lies open, so that each chakra may accept and allow through the chakra the full power of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator which streams infinitely and eternally from the Logos. That Logos has spoken Its Love, Its nature, and Its will in creating each of you and the environment in which you experience life. That Logos will have given you a fully functional, a fully capable, and competent body of soul and flesh in which to pursue your seeking, and an energy body, in order to give you the best environment in which to learn about yourself, and to learn about your own will, and finally to learn about the right use of will, balanced when the energy body is open and allowing the energy of the One to flow through it and into the opened and fearless heart.

The reason for the use of an eight-chakra system, which is the seven chakras and the octave chakra, or the eighth, being the same as the first, only an octave higher, is that the Occidental culture is like a younger version of the older Oriental twelve-tone system. There are fewer gradations, fewer differentiations, and a clearer, simpler, plainer structure for looking at the self and structuring ways to interact with one’s own energy system. On the other hand, the twelve-chakra system is indicative of the further articulation of energies and the use of energy which is more typical of Asian, Eastern or Oriental thought.

The eight-chakra system has been discussed previously, and so we will very briefly review that system. The red-ray chakra is concerned mostly with survival and sexuality. The orange-ray chakra, located in the lower belly, is associated with issues of personal relationship. The yellow-ray chakra, or the solar plexus energy center, is associated with the energies of interacting with groups. The green-ray or heart chakra is associated with opening the heart and discovering one’s own sacred nature. The throat chakra or blue-ray energy center is connected with communication. The indigo-ray center at the brow is associated with the disciplines of the personality and work in consciousness, and the violet-ray chakra, which is the crown chakra, is associated with that readout of momentary reality that is expressing at any given moment and is a system readout for the entire energy body that is what we would call the Occidental or Western chakra structure.

Thesubtleties of the twelve-chakra system can be very helpful to students of metaphysics. It begins the same way as does the Western system, the first chakra being connected with issues of sexuality and survival. The second chakra, however, is divided in the Eastern system into two energy centers, one of which deals strictly with the self relating to the self. The second of these so-called orange-ray energy centers deals with the self in relation to other selves. The solar plexus chakra remains unified in the Eastern system. However, after the solar plexus is left, and before one reaches what in the Western system is the heart chakra, there is a chakra which this instrument has often spoken of as the outer court of the heart. It is helpful to realize that moving into the heart is not an unalloyed and simple joy. It is a process that in its inception can create a great deal of difficulty for the student and the seeker. The difficulty of moving into the heart is that one must bring all of the self into the heart in order for that space to become truly sacred. Most seekers are quite astonished when they first enter their own hearts to discover that there is a real perceived problem with meeting one’s shadow side.

After all the work of realizing that we are spiritual beings has been done, after clearing issues of personalities, sexuality, survival, personal relationships, and all of the work that each entity is doing with groups, an entity that is seeking feels balanced and eager to enter that spacious holiness of the open heart. However, the first thing that most entities find upon entering this space is that, just as in the story within your New Testament of the entity known as Jesus the Christ walking into the temple and seeing all the sellers of doves and so forth which entities could buy for sacrifice, entities walking into their own hearts find that there are sellers of doves there hawking busily away with their own agendas.

Then Q’uo said the reason for the use of an eight-chakra system is that the Occidental culture is like a younger version of the older Oriental twelve-tone system, and there are fewer differentiations and a simpler structure for looking at ourself and structuring ways to interact with our energy system, but on the other hand the twelve-chakra system is indicative of the further articulation of energies and the use of energy which is more typical of Oriental thought. Q’uo went on to say that in the eight-chakra system the red-ray chakra is concerned with survival and sexuality; the orange-ray chakra is associated with issues of personal relationship; the yellow-ray chakra is associated with the energies of interacting with groups; the green-ray chakra is associated with opening the heart and discovering our sacred nature; the blue-ray chakra is connected with communication; the indigo-ray chakra at the brow is associated with the work in consciousness, and the violet-ray chakra is associated with that readout of momentary reality that is expressing at any given moment and is a system readout for the entire energy body that is what we would call the Occidental or Western chakra structure.

Now Q’uo said that after all the work of realizing that we are spiritual beings has been done, after clearing issues of personalities, sexuality, survival, personal relationships, and all of the work that each of us is doing with groups, and we feel balanced and eager to enter that holiness of the open heart, but the first thing that most of us find upon entering this space is that: “just as in the story within your New Testament of the entity known as Jesus the Christ walking into the temple and seeing all the sellers of doves and so forth which entities could buy for sacrifice, entities walking into their own hearts find that there are sellers of doves there hawking busily away with their own agendas.” On January 22, 1994, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our open heart:

Perhaps we could suggest that the center of the universe is the center of each entity’s heart. The open heart of the great Self which each self is is that center which is a unity. All of the portions of the Creator, shall we say rather misleadingly, seem to themselves to be in time and space each unique, each separate and each apart. Yet, in truth, the center of the constellations is the open heart. All measurement, all numbering, all ways of detailing, and patterning the observed creation fall to dust before the open heart. Love is of a certain nature. The fullness, breadth, depth and height of the nature of Love is both revealed and concealed by its visibility and ready accessibility, for each self contains this center without distortion within the open heart.

Little do most seekers know just how much of their personalities have been subverted and taken over by cultural expectations, parental teaching, and other sources of information which create assumptions and theories of how things are that simply do not meet the standards of purity that the particular space of the open heart requires in order for the seeker to penetrate from the outer courtyard to the inner sanctum. This is related to that concept or idea of that which is called psychic greeting or psychic attack. The outer courtyard of the heart is that place where those portions of your personality shell that have been allowed to express themselves without your being aware of their presence make their presence known.

In many cases, entities will experience these energies as attacks. Perhaps they will feel that there is an entity that is attacking them from the outside, with some sort of overshadowing or attacking going on. Others have more sensitivity in discerning the source of such seeming attack and can pinpoint the energy as being within the system of the self. Whether these attacking energies are seen as part of the self or as coming from outside the self, fundamentally speaking, we may say that in our opinion they are part of the self in that all things are one and you as individual selves are actually tuning into the space and time that is articulated by the parameters of one particular kind of energy. Therefore, that which seems very personal and very threatening in many cases is in actuality not a threat but simply that portion of self which has gone unnoticed and, therefore, undeveloped.

There is great virtue in being willing to spend time in that outer courtyard of the open heart and to see that as a separate chakra or energy center, to spend time with those sellers of doves for sacrifice to discover why your culture felt that sacrifice was necessary, and why certain elements or essences within your personality have been chosen to be sacrificed. We speak in extremely non-literal terms here, and are basically speaking of all of those energies of self that have escaped your attention up until now. Perhaps they did not so much escape your attention as that you felt that they were unworthy of attention. There are energies such as shame, guilt, jealousy, and anger that are systematically and ritually downplayed and discouraged in terms of outer expression within your culture. Nevertheless, these too need to be taken up, brought up into the light of attention, and given respect. These, too, are ways that you feel. These, too, are worthy to be examined, inspected, analyzed, and accompanied in whatever amount of time it takes for you to begin to be able to see their virtue and their value.

Many seemingly rough and negative aspects of character and personality are precisely those energies that create a true depth to understanding any genuine stability and steadiness of attention. The quality of anger, for instance, once translated into unquenchable stubbornness in dedication to service, can become the powerhouse that it was intended to be, but this cannot occur until the virtue of anger is seen straight on, for its own self and its own essence. The outer sanctum of the heart chakra is therefore a really powerful and very hurly-burly sort of energy. And to move from the outer courtyard to the inner sanctum of the heart becomes a much more clear and focused movement when that outer heart is given its own private place.

Then Q’uo said little do most of us know how much of our personalities have been taken over by cultural expectations, parental teaching, and other sources of information which create assumptions of how things are that do not meet the standards of purity that the open heart requires in order for us to penetrate from the outer courtyard to the inner sanctum, and this is related to that concept which is called psychic greeting because the outer courtyard of the heart is that place where those portions of our personality shell that have been allowed to express themselves without our being aware of their presence.

Q’uo continued by saying many negative aspects of our personality are those energies that create a true depth to understanding any steadiness of attention, and the quality of anger once translated into dedication to service can become the powerhouse that it was intended to be, but this cannot occur until the virtue of anger is seen for its true essence, and the outer sanctum of our heart chakra is a powerful kind of energy so that to move from the outer courtyard to the inner sanctum of our heart becomes a more clear and focused movement when our outer heart is given its own private place. On July 2, 2016, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the inner sanctum of our heart:

All entities that you meet and all entities that you will never meet are the One Creator. Each faces challenges—some great, some small, most in between—that keep the One from becoming apparent to the seeker, and yet the One awaits in the inner sanctum for the silent seeking of each entity at some point in any life; and it is that which is possible, probable, and, in fact, will occur at some point in time, for there is enough time for all to seek and find the One.

However long the journey may be, it will have an end, and the Creator is discovered within and seen not only as the self but as every other self. That is why this time is so valuable, why it is the pearl of great price, why it is the holy grail of all who seek. This illusion is not easy, my friend. It was not meant to be easy; it is meant to challenge, for those who come here seek to learn a great lesson, the great lesson of finding the Creator within and choosing to use those energies in service to others, or in service to self.

Another difference between what we would call the Western and Eastern chakra system is that immediately after the heart chakra and before the throat or blue-ray chakra of open communication there is an added energy center in the Eastern system. To explicate why this becomes very helpful, it is well to point out that the green-ray or heart chakra is the first energy center in which the possibility of a true energy exchange exists. The lower chakras, having to do with the self, its survival issues, its sexuality, its relationships with self and other selves personally, and its relationship with groups, are all energies that may seem to be in need of balancing and clearing so that they are neither under-activated nor over-activated. But one cannot share energy between red ray and red ray, or orange ray, or yellow ray.

One may impress those energies upon another self, and because of the strength of your energy system, it is possible for energy to be impressed from you to another person, or for another person to impress you with their energy. It is, however, an overlay. It is time-bound in its effect and will wear off naturally. Many of your faith healers, so called, are those who are healing either from the orange or the yellow-ray chakra, and they are impressing their understanding and their environment upon another. Those who are able to accept those impressions are able to experience quite a bit of release from various ailments for a certain time period. However, in every case where it is at the level below the heart, those energies will not persevere and will fade away naturally. Only when one moves into the open heart can one begin to share energy; to exchange energy with another; to give love and to receive love. The great blessing of opening the heart and keeping it open is that, working from the open heart, all of the functions of the lower energy centers are recreated as sacred.

The chakras above the level of the heart are also energy centers from which energy exchanges can be made. The reason that this information is helpful in discussing the chakras that come after the heart chakra in the Eastern system is that there is this additional energy center which captures a structure that is missing completely from the Western system. There is a subtlety here that can only be appreciated by those who have done quite a bit of work in consciousness. It involves what this instrument has termed a 90-degree phase shift. These are not words that have an objective referent for this instrument, but they represent a phrase she has heard many, many times in speaking with one known as Don Elkins, who was largely working from concepts created by the one known as George Williamson. The key concept of this added chakra is that in this turning after the heart chakra, the turn includes the whole of the unseen realms of the metaphysical of the time/space universe.

It is an energy center that is focused upon right relationship with the extended family that one has in the unseen realms. The greatest part of this family for seekers is that portion that is connected with guidance. Each entity has a guidance system and access to this guidance system is extremely helpful. If one focuses upon this particular energy center, one can do very precise work in opening oneself to the guidance that lies within. The other differences between Eastern and Western chakra systems has to do with subtleties within work in consciousness in communication, which is the blue-ray energy center. There is a division in the Eastern system between the communication of self with self and the communication of self with other selves.

Further, there is a third division which deals with the communication of the self with the extended family of guides, presences, essences, and entities that are connected with the self. We say this realizing that the subtleties are such that we cannot say to you in general what those various essences are. Each individual creates a web of family throughout not only the incarnation which you are enjoying at this time, but also those entities with whom you have worked between incarnations, those entities that you have worked with in past incarnations, and the known planetary, non-local energies which have been drawn to you as a local entity within incarnation because of your work within incarnation and work you have done between incarnations.

Q’uo said that another difference between the Western and Eastern chakra system is that after our heart chakra and before our blue-ray chakra of open communication there is an added energy center in the Eastern system, and to explain why this becomes helpful, it is well to point out that our heart chakra is the first energy center in which a true energy exchange exists, and the lower chakras, having to do with our experience with survival and sexuality, relationships with self and other selves personally, and our relationship with groups and are all energies that are in need of balancing and clearing so that they are neither under-activated nor over-activated, but we cannot share energy between red ray and red ray, or orange ray, or yellow ray. Now Q’uo said that because of the strength of our energy system, it is possible for energy to be impressed from us to another person, or for another person to impress us with their energy, so it is an overlay that will wear off naturally, and many of our so called faith healers are those who are healing either from the orange or the yellow-ray chakra, and they are impressing their understanding and their environment upon another so that those who are able to accept those impressions are able to experience some release from various ailments for a certain time, but in every case where it is at the level below the heart, those energies will fade away naturally, and it is only when we move into our open heart that we can begin to exchange energy with another and to give love and to receive love so that the blessing of opening our heart and keeping it open is that all of the functions of our lower energy centers are recreated as sacred.

Q’uo went on to say it is an energy center that is focused upon right relationship with the extended family that we have in the unseen realms, and the greatest part of this family for seekers is that portion that is connected with guidance since each of us has a guidance system, and access to this guidance system is very helpful, so if we focus upon this energy center, we can do precise work in opening ourself to the guidance that lies within, and the other difference between Eastern and Western chakra systems has to do with work in consciousness in communication, which is the blue-ray energy center, and there is a division in the Eastern system between the communication of ourself with ourself and the communication of ourself with other selves.

When you are using sacred words and sacred language, and when you produce the sound consciously, aware of the sacredness of that sound, the voice brings to life underlying time/space-oriented or non-local energies that alert certain areas of vibration throughout the infinite universe of the one Creator. You can look at these simply as vibrations or you can look at them as Cherubim, Seraphim, and all of the other designations of unseen but very powerful and very real entities which are involved in the worship of the one infinite Creator. These energies have been built up since the beginning of the energy of this octave of creation, with thousands and thousands of lifetimes and thousands and thousands of repetitions of various sounds.

Each of you within this circle and each to whom we speak in the extended family of internet and listener and reader-ship that is constantly growing contains a large, loving, extended family that awaits your focus and your request for help in order to become more active within your life. It is important to remember, therefore, to request help from your guidance system. The other added chakra in this Eastern system is very difficult for us to express to you. Once the readout of violet ray has been cleared, there is an additional chakra in the Eastern system which is dedicated to that point where the energy of self spirals from the now into the possibilities of the future. It is the point which this instrument would call the gateway to intelligent infinity.

We are aware that this information, by itself, is sterile and barren. We speak here of structures. It is you who draws the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator up into that structure, up into that energy body. It is you, by prayer, meditation and other forms of requesting guidance, insight and vision, who draw from the energies of the one infinite Creator teaching entities such as we and many, many other types of entities that do not speak at all but who stream from the point of entry at the gateway of intelligent infinity down into the energy system that determines what kind of life your energy system has.

Picture with us, if you will, the creature that you are. You receive this information along your spine, in the physical lines of a system of energy, reception and usage. It is fed infinitely, in an unending supply, by the Love and the Light of the one Creator. That Light is literally sent down into the heart of the Earth, your mother, who then pours it from the center of the Earth—or you might even say the womb of the Earth—up through the Earth into the soles of your feet, into your body system, so that it is constantly streaming into your energy system at the red-ray level and rising as it will up and out through the top of your head to the gateway to intelligent infinity.

Meanwhile, according to your desire and will and your requests, guidance and teaching is being pulled into your energy system from the top through the violet ray, then the indigo ray, and so forth, until it reaches the blue ray or the green ray, depending upon whether you are using those energies in communication or whether you are using them in healing, basically. Realize that the point at which those two energies meet is the point at which your kundalini is now focused. If you wish to raise your kundalini you have two things to work on. Firstly, you have the clearing of the lower energies so that you get full creative energy up through the soles of your feet and into your energy body. Secondly, you are attempting to focus your will, discipline your personality, and call forth the most helpful energies that you can to teach and guide you as you seek the truth.

Q’uo went on to say each of us within this circle and each to whom they speak in the extended family of internet, listener, and reader-ship is constantly growing, and contains a large, loving, extended family that awaits our focus and our request for help in order to become more active within our life, and the other added chakra in this Eastern system is difficult for Q’uo to express to us, so once the readout of violet ray has been cleared, there is an additional chakra in the Eastern system which is dedicated to that point where the energy of ourself spirals from the now into the possibilities of the future which is the point which Carla would call the gateway to intelligent infinity. Q’uo went on to say they are aware that this information is sterile, so they speak here of structures, and it is we who draw the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator up into that structure, up into our energy body, and by prayer, meditation, and other forms of requesting guidance we draw from the energies of the one infinite Creator those teaching entities such as Q’uo and many other types of entities that do not speak but who stream from the point of entry at the gateway of intelligent infinity down into the energy system that determines what kind of life our energy system has. Q’uo continued by asking us to picture with them the creature that we are as we receive this information along our spine, in the physical lines of a system of energy and usage that is fed infinitely, in an unending supply, by the Love and the Light of the one Creator, and that Light is sent down into the heart of our Mother Earth, who then pours it from the center of the Earth up through the Earth into the soles of our feet and into our body so that it is constantly streaming into our energy system at the red-ray level and rising as it will up and out through the top of our head to the gateway to intelligent infinity. Q’uo completed their response by saying according to our desire and our requests guidance is being pulled into our energy system from the top of our head through the violet ray, then the indigo ray until it reaches the blue ray or the green ray, depending upon whether we are using those energies in communication or whether we are using them in healing, and realize that the point at which those two energies meet is the point at which our kundalini is now focused, so if we wish to raise our kundalini we have two things to work on, and the first one is our clearing of the lower energies so that we get full creative energy up through the soles of our feet and into our energy body, and in the second one we are attempting to focus our will, discipline our personality, and call forth the most helpful energies that we can to teach and guide us as we seek the truth. On September 5, 2010, Carla described the nature of our energy body:

The fuel, of course, is absolutely infinite in amount. The love and the light of the infinite Creator is moving through our energy body in inexhaustible supply at all times. We can’t run out. By stopping the flow of love through us, by clutching and contracting around our woes and our problems—which we all have—what we can do is stop that flow into the heart, and then we can’t get our hearts open all the way. The fuel is love. It’s right here. It is inexhaustible. We don’t have to hoard it. All we have to do is live in such a way that our energy bodies are clear so that we get that energy through us at all times.

We thank the ones known as S1 and S2 for this query and would at this time open this meeting to other questions. Is there another query at this time?

B: Earlier you mentioned the rise of kundalini. Could you clarify that?

We are those of Q’uo, my brother, and are aware of your query. That which is rising, or not, is the point of contact between the natural energies available to all within creation and the energy of the creative principle called to the self by individual work. That point of contact begins, roughly speaking, within that point where the outer courtyard of the heart yields to the inner sanctum. The kundalini cannot be pulled lower than that as information of the creative principle cannot be understood by any energies lower than that of the heart.

However, the point of the kundalini rising, in terms of entities’ desire to progress spiritually, is that as one begins to be able to pull the full energy of that open heart up into work in consciousness, each place to which it is raised opens up vistas of opportunity for various types of work in consciousness, not simply moving upwards as one aiming directly for the Creator, but, in terms of working at any level—for instance, in open communication—there is the opportunity to spread out one’s discoveries and one’s services by creating more and more layers of understanding or awareness of subtle energies involved in the sub-density, shall we say, of open communication. Once the kundalini has been pulled from the heart up into the throat, then more articulated work can be done in communication. And this is also true as the kundalini continues to be pulled upwards by seeking and the careful development and discipline of the personality.

May we answer you further, my brother?

B: What aspect of the self is doing the pulling?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The aspect that pulls the energy forward is desire, or as it is sometimes called, will.

May we answer you further, my brother?

B: That covers it. Thank you.

The tape recording ended here.

This morning I went outside and weeded the Yellow Creeping Jenny Garden by hand so that I was able to pull the roots out since we had a couple of rains in the last few days.

This afternoon I went across the road to my neighbor’s yard and scattered bird seed beneath the bird feeders so the deer and squirrels could have some birdseed to eat. Then I came back to my yard and filled the bird bath with water in hopes of seeing a robin take a bath there one day soon because they are so cute when they ruffle all their feathers at once and splash water all around the bird bath.

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

March 26

Bloom In Due Season

I am of the principle of the Most High; of the consciousness of divine Love. I greet you in peace.

The sun shines, beckoning to spring. Spring comes to the sun as a dove to its dovecote or the weary cow to its barn. For one more cycle the travail of Earth is over. And, born anew from the dead and sleeping land, new life appears, shyly peeking from the safety of the soil’s womb but drawn ever onward by the nourishing warmth of the sun and the blessing of the rain.

So, it is with each of you who are seeds. You are planted in the soil of your humanity. What can you do with the seed that you carry within you? Nothing. You may only improve the soil, cultivate that small plot where your spirit may rise in bud and bloom in due season.

If it be wintertime in your heart, it is time to accept that each seed needs times of deep contemplation and the gathering of energy. But when each sees that first glimmer of sunlight, let your spirit be glad. Let your heart leap for joy within you.

May you prepare your soul in all gladness for the beautiful blossom that lies budded and waiting within you.

We leave you in the peace of Christ Jesus, now and evermore. 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 21, 2005:

(Question chosen by PLW poll) The Mayan calendar system indicated 2012 as the end of their calendar and therefore the end of time. Please comment in any way you feel helpful concerning this concept of the end of time and why 2012 was chosen by the Mayans as the end of the calendar.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you this day. May we say what a privilege and a pleasure it is for us to blend our vibrations with you at this time! We are extremely thankful, in this season of thanksgiving among your people, for the opportunity to share energy with you and to be asked to share our humble opinions as well. We would ask each of you to use your powers of discrimination carefully in listening to our opinions. They are not intended in any way to represent authoritative statements which you must follow or which contain dogma of any kind. They are our opinions and observations. In order for us to share them without being concerned that we will infringe upon your free will we would ask you to take responsibility for guarding the precincts of your own thoughts. If any thought that we share with you does not seem resonant to you, please drop it and move on. If any of our thoughts do seem to ring a bell, that distant bell of a memory that was half-forgotten, then by all means take it up. It is yours to work with. We thank you for this consideration as it will enable us to speak freely.

It has long been seen among many of your cultures that there is a periodicity to the energies which create the environment for your incarnational experiences. Various cultures and civilizations have categorized and organized these periods, eras, or times within the energetic progression of what this instrument would call the time/space or space/time continuum. The particular age of which you speak is a space/time era primarily, although it certainly has corresponding shadows and equivalencies in time/space. Indeed, in time/space you are already solidly and completely within fourth density. You dwell in a third-density energy that is now completely interpenetrated with unconditional love and complete understanding of your true nature.

You dwell within powerful times in which you, as a third-density entity, dwell in a body that is capable of living and thriving within such fourth-density energy as you can meet with a sense of cooperation, faith, and trust. You cannot, however, join fourth density. Dwelling within your house of flesh and bone, you cannot know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is one. You cannot know that that one thing is Love. Indeed, you have volunteered for an incarnation at this time because you wished to experience and be a part of the tremendous times that are at hand. These are times when a few people who discipline their minds and their thoughts can make a tremendous difference upon your planet not only in terms of the people of your planet but in terms of the comfort in the planet itself as it moves through the last of this birthing process.

TheMayans are among those civilizations which became aware of a cycle that stretched across long eras of your time. They saw that the planet itself would move through a very decisive change from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. The Age of Pisces is at its end. The Age of Aquarius is in its dawn. Energies are shifting, and the time of energy being as it has been for thousands of your years is rapidly coming to a close. That time will end during what this instrument calls the winter solstice of the year 2012. We would ask each who reads or hears our statements to pause at this time with us and release all fear.

The group question for this session was: “The Mayan calendar system indicated 2012 as the end of their calendar and therefore the end of time. Please comment in any way you feel helpful concerning this concept of the end of time and why 2012 was chosen by the Mayans as the end of the calendar.” Q’uo began by saying it has been seen among many of our cultures that there is a timing of the energies which creates the environment for our incarnational experiences, and various cultures have categorized these eras within the energetic progression of what Carla would call the time/space or space/time continuum so that the era of which we speak is a space/time era although it has corresponding equivalencies in time/space, and in time/space we are already completely within fourth density, so we dwell in a third-density energy that is now completely interpenetrated with unconditional Love and complete understanding of our true nature. Q’uo went on to say we dwell within powerful times in which we, as a third-density entity, dwell in a body that is capable of living within such fourth-density energy as we can meet with a sense of cooperation and faith, but we cannot join fourth density because as we dwell within our body of flesh and bone, we cannot know that all is one, or that one thing is Love, and we have volunteered for an incarnation at this time because we wished to be a part of the tremendous times that are at hand, for these are times when a few people who discipline their minds can make a tremendous difference upon our planet not only in terms of the people of our planet but in terms of the comfort in the Earth as it moves through the last of this birthing process. Q’uo continued by saying the Mayans became aware of a cycle that stretched across long eras of our time as they saw that Earth would move through a decisive change from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, and the Age of Pisces is at its end, and the Age of Aquarius is in its dawn, and the time of energy being as it has been for thousands of our years is coming to a close, and that time will end during what Carla calls the winter solstice of the year 2012, so Q’uo asked each who reads or hears our statements to pause at this time with us and release all fear. On October 14, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the Age of Aquarius:

First of all, the likelihood of planetary pole shift is nearly certain. The only question is when that shift shall occur. What entities such as L/L Research hope to accomplish with their service is the delaying of such a time of planetary annihilation and, if possible, the softening of that blow so that it is possible to have the shifting occur in stages which the planet and some of its population can survive. This is simply in order to create the continued environment within which third-density entities have the continuing opportunity to make the choice of service to others or service to self.

Secondly, the Mayan calendar and many other systems indicate that 2012, is the end of an Age. Indeed, the Mayans end time is in 2012, at the Winter Solstice. This is an accurate assessment of the movement of the planet itself into the Age of Aquarius. This Age begins a kind of octave and is a tremendous shift. It is occurring very much on time and on schedule. It is, however, to be noted that this event is metaphysical rather than physical. There is nothing inevitable, in terms of physicality, about what is going to occur at the Winter Solstice of 2012.

It is the hope of many entities such as this instrument that in between now and 2012, it will be possible to continue to create an environment in which entities may awaken as to the choice of polarity that they have to make. It is equally hoped by this instrument and many others that they will be able to serve by helping the planet itself, and in this case, we are speaking of the third-density Gaia, after 2012. There is a considerable amount of restitution and rebalancing which entities such as you and this instrument may do in order to help the planet itself to heal after the grievous wounds inflicted upon it by the humankind that dwells upon this planet.

It is easy to fear a concept as powerful as the end of time. We would say several things concerning this concept. Firstly, it is a metaphysical rather than a physical ending of time. Your planet as you know it shall move serenely on. Time will not seem to end to the physical eye. The quality of time shall be different. In third density the differences will be only statistically perceptible. In metaphysical terms, in time/space terms, shall we say, that difference will be far more powerful. For entities who are sensitive to energy, it is already thoroughly apparent that wave after wave of energy is crashing upon the shores of Earth. The planet is changing, and the changes will continue. There is a necessity, having to do with the difference between third-density energy and fourth-density energy, for the planet to realign its magnetic pole. This shift is occurring. Thanks to the many loving efforts of lightworkers such as this group all over your globe, working in relatively unconscious unity, but nevertheless being very effective in increasing the Light on planet Earth by their loving affection for it, it is as though this change in magnetic polarity is being accomplished step, by step, by step, rather than all at once.

Asyou see your planet experiencing many weather-related phenomena, you can see your mother, Gaia, at work, doing what is necessary to shift vibrationally and magnetically in order to align with fourth-density energies. The mother suffers in order that the child may thrive. Such is the labor of Gaia. As these inconveniences continue, we would ask that each of you refrain completely from fear. It will seem to be an increasingly logical response to the news of the day to experience fear. When these natural feelings of fear arise, we would ask you to remember that you are the Light of the world. Each of you, by your very nature, is a crystal that receives, transmits and transmutes energy. That energy is the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator, which streams in infinite supply from the heart of the planet itself into the energy bodies of each of you and out through the crowns of your head, where you function just as does a pyramid.

The energy that you create, bless and give to the Creator by keeping your heart open and your love and faith strong winds itself into a golden net that surrounds the planet with Love. Angels guard this work and join you in weaving this net of Love. This works by blending third-density energies with the fourth density that is birthing at this time. We thank each of you for creating within yourself the capacity for increased faith. We ask you to attempt, in each moment where fear might be a logical reaction, to move into your heart and find that place of faith in which you know that whether you are in life or in death, the Creator is living through you ,and you are the Creator or part of the creative principle within flesh. You are not an entity that shall be stopped by death in any way.

Now Q’uo said it is easy to fear a concept as powerful as the end of time, but it is a metaphysical rather than a physical ending of time so that time will not seem to end to our physical eyes, but the quality of time shall be different, and in third density the differences will be only statistically perceptible, but in metaphysical terms that difference will be more powerful, for entities who are sensitive to energy, it is already apparent that wave after wave of energy is crashing upon the shores of Earth so that the planet is changing, and there is a necessity, having to do with the difference between third-density energy and fourth-density energy, for the planet to realign its magnetic pole, and thanks to the loving efforts of lightworkers such as this group all over our globe: “working in relatively unconscious unity, but nevertheless being very effective in increasing the Light on planet Earth by their loving affection for it, it is as though this change in magnetic polarity is being accomplished step, by step, by step, rather than all at once.” Q’uo went on to say as we see our planet experiencing weather-related phenomena, we can see our mother, Gaia, at work, doing what is necessary to shift vibrationally and magnetically in order to align with fourth-density energies, and our Mother suffers in order that the child may thrive, and as these inconveniences continue, Q’uo asked that each of us refrain from fear even though it will seem to be a logical response to the news of the day to experience fear, so when these feelings of fear arise, they asked us to remember that we are the Light of the world, and each of us is a crystal that receives and transmutes that energy of the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator which streams in infinite supply from the heart of Earth into the energy bodies of each of us and out through the crowns of our head where we function just as does a pyramid. Then Q’uo said that the energy that we create and give to the Creator by keeping our heart open and our love and faith strong winds itself into a golden net that surrounds the Earth with Love, and angels guard this work and join us in weaving this net of Love so that this works by blending third-density energies with the fourth density that is birthing at this time, and Q’uo thanked each of us for creating within ourself the capacity for increased faith, so they asked us to attempt, in each moment where fear might be a logical reaction, to move into our heart and find that place of faith in which we know whether we are in life or in death the Creator is living through us, and we are part of the creative principle of the Creator within flesh, and we shall not be stopped by death in any way. On March 12, 1995, Q’uo spoke of how we all can form a golden net around the Earth:

As each entity awakens at last from winter’s sleep and knows itself once more to be a seed that shall grow, as each decides finally to disagree with the self rather than with others and to work that out in the interior safety of the self, then person by person by person consciousness shall be raised, and the group that is waiting to form shall more and more begin connecting in a golden net of commonality, connection, and communion. Once the desire to disagree within the self has been accepted, grasped and loved, then shall that self be ready to turn outward without fear and, little by little, shall your people take down those bricks which have built such high walls. Peace within your world must start within each heart.

Nor do we suggest for a moment that all of you shall die in one dramatic planetary cataclysm. Indeed, once 2012 has come and gone, we are hoping that third density will have a considerable number of years, perhaps even centuries, in which those who choose to dwell in third-density physical vehicles may see to the continuing restitution or healing of your planet. Many are the entities on your planet who have destroyed other planetary vehicles for existence such as Maldek, Mars, and other planetary entities outside of your solar system. We ask that you become more and more aware that you have the opportunity, at this time, within this incarnation, to turn that energy within yourself around and to become stewards, loving and wise, of whatever little acre or square foot that you may have of planet Earth. What does your space need? If you are one who has property, we would ask you to commune with your land. And not simply with your land, but with your local situation. What local situations having to do with planet Earth have gone awry on your watch, in your neighborhood? And what can one person do to bring them gently into more harmony with those things which the planet itself needs?

Are you waters foul? What can you do? Is there a lack of sustainable practice amongst your businesses? What can you do? We could go on and on, listing the kinds of simple, down-to-earth, human, local problems to which you may address yourself. Whether you do have land or whether you live on the thirty-seventh floor of a high-rise, yet still you are part of planet Earth. What can you do? What are your gifts, and what kind of problems do you see? You are potentially one of those who is able, as one simple, single being, full of flaws, and yet full of good intentions, to join in groups that have a hope of coping with and creating solutions to those imbalances that have resulted in pollution and illness within the planet itself. The healing begins within your own heart whether you live on a large parcel of land, a small parcel of land, or in that high-rise of which we spoke earlier. Heal the pollution within yourself. Love yourself. Be a steward to your own body, your own mind, your own nature and your own advancement.

As you see your own advancement, do not take someone else’s word for what constitutes healing and advancement. Move within your own being where sources of guidance are thick on the ground and begin asking for that guidance to speak to you. Let that guidance spring to life from the world around you. Observe synchronicities and listen to words, phrases, and thoughts that take you and make you imagine, hope, and dream. For your imagination is the key to forming a new paradigm for living in a new time, on a new Earth, and in a new dawning of possibilities.

Then Q’uo said nor do we suggest that all of us shall die in a planetary cataclysm since once 2012 has come and gone, they are hoping that third density will have a few centuries in which those in third-density bodies may continue working on the healing of our planet because many entities on our planet who have destroyed their planets such as Maldek, Mars, and other planetary entities outside of our solar system, so Q’uo asked that we become more aware that we have the opportunity to turn that energy within ourself around and to become loving stewards of whatever piece of land that we may have of planet Earth, and they asked us to commune with our land and with our local situations and what they have to do with planet Earth having gone awry in our neighborhood, and what we can do to bring them into more harmony with those things which the Earth itself needs. Q’uo continued by saying we could look for problems to address such as foul water or the lack of sustainable practices among our business community, what we could do about them, and whether we have land or whether we live in a high-rise, we are a part of planet Earth, so we should see what gifts we have to work on the problems that we see because we are potentially able to use our good intentions and join groups that have a hope of coping with and creating solutions to those imbalances that have resulted in pollution and illness within the planet so that the healing begins within our heart no matter where we live because we need to heal the pollution within ourself, love ourself, and become a steward to our body, our mind, our own nature, and our own advancement. Q’uo continued by saying as we see our advancement we should not take someone else’s word for what constitutes healing and advancement, but move within our own being where sources of guidance are available and begin asking for that guidance to speak to us, and let that guidance spring to life from the world around us, and observe synchronicities and listen to words and thoughts that make us hope and dream because our imagination is the key to forming a new paradigm for living in a new time, and on a new Earth. On October 27, 2007, Q’uo spoke about the nature of a new paradigm:

You have spoken in this group about the creation of a new paradigm, and certainly this instrument is very focused on that creation of a new paradigm of living and being. Realize, when you have good conversations going between those of spiritual consanguinity, that you are creating changes in consciousness that will outlive the present moment and even your own lifetime. The opportunity for creating this paradigm is just as we have described for sexuality: conversation which achieves the penetration of the gateway. It is the thought that is focused when an intention is made to seek and to know this new paradigm. And then it is released into the emptiness of outer form so that it may reach the essence that fructifies your waking, everyday consciousness.

We would ask at this time if there is a follow-up that either the known as S1 or the one known as S2 would like to make in order to further direct our response to this query. We are those known as Q’uo.

S1: There are several variations of the Mayan calendar and the different native tribes that have kept information to be brought forth at this time. They are different perspectives, some seemingly different, some very similar. Could you comment on the similarities and the differences of these different messages?

Weare those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We do not find it useful to comment upon the various differences of stories among your people which attempt to speak of events that beggar the imagination not only of those upon third density but those who have the full potentiality of the one infinite Creator. There is a mystery involved in the way densities change. That way of changing is as the movement betwixt one quantum and another. There is not a direct movement across a quantum boundary. We show this instrument, who knows nothing of science or quantum physics, the image of the meniscus that is liquid in nature. This entity has directly experienced this liquid environment betwixt densities. She has called it the gateway to intelligent infinity, for it is, in the terms of the Law of One material which this instrument has studied, that which she understands as being the point at which one may move from the quantum of third density to the quantum of fourth density.

And she has rested there at times in those moments when she has by unconscious processes been placed in a mystical state of awareness which contains unity. In this environment this instrument becomes aware that all is well, and that all will be well. She sees a perfection of the outworking of the pattern of time and space. She cannot bring any quantity of this awareness back from this state. It is simply a gift. It has been noted by the one known as Saint Paul, in his writings in your Holy Bible, that such gifts as this and so-called speaking in tongues have very little human use. They are gifts only. Nevertheless, because this instrument has been given gifts of this nature in times of vision and awareness that are heightened, she is able to understand what we show her, and that is that there is a very discernible, real place of no-time in which, just as in your dusk and in your dawning, or as in energy shifts as you have just experienced in your All Souls Day, one kind of Light is leaving and another kind of Light is arriving.

The spirits of day and the spirits of night are quite different. In the dusk and the dawning there is a very perceptible shift, and it is a time of waiting and hush. It is an excellent time for doing work in consciousness. The differences between the stories of various cultures are differences related to those cultures’ relationship with the quantum edge that this instrument calls “the gateway to intelligent infinity.” Were we to begin to focus in on specific details of this shift, we would, we believe, be detracting from the intention of the question to discover the heart of what the so-called end of time is about.

What that time is about is spiritual evolution. It is amazing to consider what occurs in any lifetime. From the beginning of your lifetime to this present moment, how many things have changed in your world? What progression has there been? And as you approach this present moment have you not seen how these energies of progression have intensified and speeded up? As this time approaches, these energies will continue to intensify. What we would wish to do, then, rather than focusing on any detail, is to focus on the general nature of this cosmic moment. You dwell in a time that is coming to an end, and yet in your body, in your mind, and in your heart you carry the seeds of the future within you. As live your life, breathe in and breathe out, you are planting seeds that shall be reaped by those that come after you. We ask you to plant the seeds of love and faith with a happy heart and a peaceful mind.

S1 asked: “There are several variations of the Mayan calendar and the different native tribes that have kept information to be brought forth at this time. They are different perspectives, some seemingly different, some very similar. Could you comment on the similarities and the differences of these different messages?” Q’uo began by saying they do not find it useful to comment upon the various differences of stories among our people that speak of events that challenge the imagination, not only of those upon third density, but those who have the full potentiality of the one infinite Creator as there is a mystery involved in the way densities change, and that way of changing is like the movement between one quantum and another, but there is not a direct movement across a quantum boundary, so they showed Carla, who knows nothing of quantum physics, the image of the meniscus that is liquid in nature, and she has experienced this liquid environment between densities which she has called the gateway to intelligent infinity, for it is in the terms of the Law of One material that which she understands as being the point at which we may move from the quantum of third density to the quantum of fourth density. Q’uo went on to say she has rested there at times when she has by unconscious processes been placed in a mystical state of awareness which contains unity, and in this environment she becomes aware that all is well, and that all will be well, so she sees perfection in the pattern of time and space, but she cannot bring any quantity of this awareness back from this state which Saint Paul mentioned in his writings in our Holy Bible that such gifts such as speaking in tongues have very little human use, but because Carla has been given gifts of this nature in times of awareness that are heightened, she is able to understand what we show her, and that is that there is a real place of no-time as in energy shifts as we have just experienced in our All Souls Day where one kind of Light is leaving and another kind of Light is arriving. Q’uo continued by saying that the spirits of day and the spirits of night are different because in the dusk and the dawning there is a perceptible shift, and it is a time of waiting , and it is a time for doing work in consciousness, but the differences between the stories of various cultures are related to those cultures’ relationship with the quantum edge that Carla calls “the gateway to intelligent infinity,” and Q’uo said were they to begin to focus in on specific details of this shift, they would be detracting from the intention of the question to discover the heart of what the end of time is about. Q’uo said what that time is about is spiritual evolution, and it is amazing to consider what occurs in any lifetime: “From the beginning of your lifetime to this present moment, how many things have changed in your world? What progression has there been? And as you approach this present moment have you not seen how these energies of progression have intensified and speeded up?”Q’uo said as this time approaches, these energies will continue to intensify, and what they would wish to do is to focus on the general nature of this cosmic moment since we dwell in a time that is coming to an end, yet in our body, our mind, and in our heart we carry the seeds of the future within us, and as we live our life we are planting seeds that shall be reaped by those that come after us, and they asked us to plant the seeds of love and faith with a happy heart and a peaceful mind. On May 13, 1984, Hatonn described the nature of this present moment:

Turn back then to today, this present moment, and open your senses to the possibilities. You have given them to yourself; you have nurtured each and every possibility, and each day is harvest day. There is no lack or limitation of the original Thought. Therefore, reach out your hands, whether mentally or physically, and accept with praise and thanksgiving and joy the harvest that is yours this day, and let your hearts be happy, for there is a principle which we have found is as steady a rudder for your density as is possibility, and that principle is Love.

There is no farthest and remotest point, no depth or height, no distance whatsoever that you may go by foot or in your mind that is not governed by the laws of Love, and that law is that you are free in Love. You are lovely, you are beloved, and you are loving, all in perfect freedom. This is your rudder, by this you steer. And where shall you steer, my friends, what shall you plant today that you may have a crop tomorrow or, to move backwards to our previous metaphor, what course shall you plot, what vector shall you take from this present moment? Love is not limited, but rather expansive. You may choose freely of those things that are of service, and then you may plant by word, by deed, but most of all by intention. Each day spend some time touching with the center of your being in meditation and sometimes surrounding that planting, and sometimes surrounding that attempting to become aware of the harvest of Light.

Asyou see suffering from the energies of war and from the energies of a planet that is adjusting itself as it must to new energies and new life, we ask you to become ever calmer, reaching deeply down into your store of faith and hope. We do not see at this time the probability of planetary destruction from nature. We do see the possibility of planetary destruction from the toxic nature of the human tribe. If those who have chosen to fear are allowed full sway they may well bring about planetary destruction, as has happened with many of those entities now in power upon your planet on other planets and even on your own planet, to a certain extent, for those who are among your leaders at this time are often those who brought about the destruction of one of your continents, the continent of Atlantis.

If these words resonate to you, my children, pay attention. This is the hour in which you can choose another way. In the face of fear, remember love. In the face of anger, remember compassion. In the face of disunity, remember union, for are you not part of everyone and everything that you meet? In the face of seeming dearth, lack, and limitation of resources, we ask you to dwell in thanksgiving and joy upon the unlimited possibilities that dwell within your imagination. We say to you this: for every problem that faces you this day, there is a solution. We have no way of knowing what you face and what you shall face, but we do know that your peoples have been given not only great challenges but also great gifts and unlimited resources. The challenge that lies before you is not to husband dwindling resources but to begin to see the resources that are available to you that are not now properly valued and to realize that the greatest resource of all is the compassion that lies within your heart.

It is hard sometimes to see how in times of distress the answers lie within you rather than outside of you, for all of the distress seems to be coming from outside of you. However, we say to you at this time that in our opinion that which shall heal you and your planet and bring you through the end of time to greet the dawning of a new day is that which lies within you waiting to be acknowledged. What is in your heart? What lies waiting within that mighty resource? Go into your own heart in humility, on bowed knees and with empty hands, and ask for help. It is waiting for that asking, and the help that comes will be instantaneous. As you ask, so shall help be present. Listen, then, when you have asked, for that still, small voice, as this instrument would call the voice of Spirit, to speak in the power of silence within you. And when you come from that room of prayer in silence and contemplation, may you sing with joy, and may you illuminate your world with thanksgiving, peace, and power.

Now Q’uo said as they see suffering from the energies of war and from our planet that is adjusting itself as it must to new energies and new life, they asked us to become calmer, reaching down into our store of faith and hope, but they did not see the probability of planetary destruction from nature, but they did see the possibility of planetary destruction from the toxic nature of our human tribe, so if those who have chosen to fear are allowed their way they may bring about planetary destruction, as has happened with many of those entities now in power upon our planet, for those who are our leaders at this time are often those who brought about the destruction of the continent of Atlantis. Then Q’uo said that if these words resonate to us this is the hour in which we can choose another way, and instead of fear, remember love; instead of anger, remember compassion; instead of disunity, remember unity, for are we not part of everyone and everything that we meet? So Q’uo asked us to dwell in thanksgiving and joy upon the unlimited possibilities that dwell within our imagination because for every problem that faces us this day, there is a solution, and that our people have been given great challenges and great gifts of unlimited resources so that the challenge that lies before us is not to use dwindling resources, but to begin to see the resources that are available to us that are not now properly valued and to realize that the greatest resource of all is the compassion that lies within our heart. Q’uo completed their reply by saying it is hard to see how in times of distress the answers lie within us rather than outside of us, for all of the distress seems to be coming from outside of us, but they said that at this time that which shall heal us and our planet, and bring us through the end of time to greet the dawning of a new day is that which lies within us waiting to be acknowledged, so we should go into our heart in humility and ask for help because it is waiting for our asking, and the help that comes will be instantaneous, so we should listen when we have asked for that still, small voice, as Carla would call the voice of Spirit, to speak in the power of silence within, and when we come from that room of prayer in silence, may we sing with joy, and we can illuminate our world with thanksgiving, peace, and power. On March 23, 2019, Q’uo spoke of the still, small voice:

The Creator, then, is able to become more available to you, more real to you, more present with you, as you discover that it is that quality within your being that has always been there—that still, small voice within that guides you, that leads you, that inspires you, that comforts you, that is such a companion as you have been dimly aware of throughout your entire experience. As you become more and more familiar with this Creator within that is all things, you remember previous experiences within this life in which this contact was made and magical things begin to occur at the time it was made and throughout your life experience from that point forward.

We would at this time thank each of you and leave you, as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. If there is a desire to pursue such queries as you have put to us on these details, comparisons, and ways to contrast stories of the end of time, we invite them at another session. But we would ask that you rephrase the query in such a way that we may be speaking of known quantities within your query in order that our response may be clearer. Meanwhile, we thank each of you for setting aside this time in order to seek the truth. We thank you for the beauty of your beings and for the Light that you as a group have created within this circle of seeking. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai. We are those of Q’uo.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden again, as the weeding that I did yesterday left a lot of weeds that I thought I had gotten when I looked at them from the second story window of my home.

This afternoon I made an errand run with my first stop being at PNC Bank where I ordered more checks for my checkbook. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Pepsi-Zero and some non-food items.

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

March 25

Love As Motivation

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the fullness of the consciousness which is divine Love That consciousness is the ground of being of all who may hear our voice.

That single word, Love, created all that there is. The image of Love draws each seeker on; with visage veiled and beguiling; with footsteps infinitely retreating before the advancing soul.

For that consciousness which is pure and creative and all powerful is that consciousness which is its own source; that Light which shines through the ages; that factory of all that there is, and that home to which all that there is shall return.

Do not sentimentalize the Love of Jesus the Christ, for He left His Spirit with you not only to comfort you but to excite and motivate each soul to act in that same consciousness and live in that same Light and energy.

Know that your feet rest upon Love, the ground of your being and that that creative energy is the active principle. The passive principle is peace.

In that peace we leave you, both now and forever. 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.

2025-03-24

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 20, 2005:

We have two questions today for you, Q’uo. Here is the first one: Could you comment on the effective ways of bringing people in their teens and in their twenties physically together to grow into the fourth-density consciousness?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is in the Creator’s service that we come to you this day to share with you our thoughts on the subject of effective ways to invite people to gather together to explore ways of growing in a fourth-density manner. We thank the one known as P for this query and are happy to address it.

Before we begin, as always, we would ask each of you to take full responsibility for listening to our thoughts with careful discrimination. If a thought appeals to you and seems to have use, by all means, work with it. If it does not immediately appeal to you then we ask you to put it aside. Truth is always a personal and even an intimate matter. We would prefer greatly that you were able to do this simple thing for it will enable us to speak freely without being concerned that we might infringe upon your free will. We are not those of authority over you but rather those who share conversation with you at this time as fellow seekers of truth. We thank you for this consideration.

The elements of this query are such that we shall need to discuss some of the words before we can discuss the concept and the question. The first word that we would take up is the word “growth.” What is it to grow? As the one known as P himself said, it is inevitable that entities grow. That growth develops according to the nature of the entity. Each entity comes to life from a seed. That entity has, written in its seed, the nature of its growth and indeed the path of its life through budding and blooming, yielding up its fruit, and dying.

Growth, then, is not simply then becoming ever larger and ever more developed. There is a roundness to growth which involves not simply the growing portion of a cycle but also the ripening, the harvesting, the dwindling, and the dying of the organism that has done the growing. Growth, then, in the physical sense, is bound carefully and specifically by the type of seed which you are and the environment in which you are planted. From the physical standpoint, then, your query involves partially a discussion of the seed and the nature of that type of seed that you are and that entities such as humans are. And partially it involves a discussion of the best environment for growth within incarnation.

Metaphysically, growth may be seen in a far more spacious context. You as an individual have been growing, not simply through one incarnation but through many, not simply in one density but in all of them within your octave. Speaking metaphysically and in a non-local manner, you are growing in all densities simultaneously and creating a non-local harvest which is being developed over a period of billions of your years, speaking from the standpoint of physical terms. It is very difficult to speak of metaphysical-scale growth within your numbering system. However, let us say it is a very large-scale project to grow metaphysically. We would, however, point out that within the context of this infinite environment, growth, again, consists of the seed, the environment, and those cyclical experiences of learning, assimilating the learning, and responding to that which you have assimilated.

In the first case, that of physical growth of a human being through incarnation, the seed is that which is produced by sperm and ovum from the dust, metaphorically speaking, out of which your Earth has created a local habitation of flesh in which you as a metaphysical being have chosen to place your consciousness for that cycle known as an incarnation in order that you may have being within the environment of third-density Earth. We will allow you to name the nature of the seed of flesh, saying only that it is steeped in illusion and rounded in mystery. Each life is a gift, a miracle, an incredible circumstance, which happens only once. The being that you are is unique. This incarnation you experience shall not be experienced again. The song that you sing in flesh shall never be heard again. The colors of your emotions as they flash, and change, and transform are an experiment in beauty and dynamic that shall not recur. You are precious beyond description within the folds of your dailiness.

The first question for this session was: “Could you comment on the effective ways of bringing people in their teens and in their twenties physically together to grow into the fourth-density consciousness?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the elements of this query are such that they shall need to discuss some of the words before they can discuss the concept and the question, and the first word that they would take up is the word “growth,” and Q’uo asked what is it to grow, and they said it is inevitable that we will grow because growth develops according to our nature, and we come to life from a seed, and we have written in our seed the nature of our growth and the path of our life through blooming, yielding up our fruit, and dying. Q’uo went on to say that growth is not becoming larger and more developed because there is a roundness to growth which involves the growing portion of a cycle but also the ripening, the harvesting, and the dying of our body that has done the growing so that growth, in the physical sense, is bound carefully by the type of seed which we are and the environment in which we are planted, and from the physical standpoint our query involves a discussion of the seed and the nature of that type of seed that we are and that all humans are, and it involves a discussion of the best environment for growth within incarnation. Q’uo continued by saying that metaphysically growth may be seen in a more spacious context since we have been growing through many incarnations and through many densities in our octave, and speaking metaphysically we are creating a non-local harvest which is being developed over a period of billions of our years, and speaking in physical terms it is difficult to speak of metaphysical-scale growth within our numbering system, but Q’uo said it is a large-scale project to grow metaphysically, and they would point out that within the context of this infinite environment, growth: “consists of the seed, the environment, and those cyclical experiences of learning, assimilating the learning, and responding to that which you have assimilated.” Now Q’uo said in the case of our physical growth through our incarnation, the seed is that which is produced by sperm and ovum from the dust, metaphorically speaking, out of which our Earth has created a local habitation of flesh in which we as a metaphysical being have chosen to place our consciousness for an incarnation in order that we may have being within the environment of third-density Earth. Q’uo said they will allow us to name the nature of the seed of flesh, saying  that it is steeped in illusion and rounded in mystery because our life is a gift and a miracle which happens only once, and the being that we are is unique, and our incarnation shall not be experienced again so that the song that we sing in flesh shall never be heard again, and we are precious beyond description within the folds of our dailiness. On February 13, 1988, Latwii spoke of our life as being a gift:

Thus, the deepest goal of one who leaves bliss in order to suffer is to find the joy within the suffering, to find the light within the darkness, to accept and thus solve the riddle of opposites. For if the life is a gift, a holy one, one set apart, then to live, to love, to feel, to be, is the true vocation, and all actions stem then not from the necessities of the employment or the personal situation, but from the inner agenda which is to experiment continuously with the being, seeking always to polarize more and more towards a conscious inner realization of the wholeness and perfection that lie within the illusion that make of the life a beauty and a gift. It is difficult sometimes for one who is suffering to see the beauty within the self, to realize that the self by itself without action is the true gift to the Creator and the true reason for this experience you call living.

As infinite and eternal beings, the seed from which you sprang is the infinite Creator. And in this metaphysical creation, although growth indeed does take place, it is rounded just as a physical incarnation is: in the birth and the death of one beat of the Creator’s heart, one unit or creation of the creative principle. That which this instrument calls an “octave” includes the seven densities moving into the eighth density and therefore back to the first. It is the measure of your measureless life as a metaphysical being. It begins with birth which is a being cast out of the womb of the mother that is the Creator. Not to be abandoned; a mother does not birth a child to abandon it. It does allow the child to grow and in this case the entire purpose that your parent had in mind for you is for you to teach your parent about the nature of itself.

“What seed do I cast forth into beingness?” You are spending your energy and your time exploring at your leisure and at your pleasure the ramifications of this question. In the fullness of this moment within the Creator’s beating heart, you shall return to the infinite Creator with your harvest and your burden of awareness and beingness, and in offering up the essence of all that you are, you shall once again be lost up in the Creator Itself, and the Creator shall be full of all that which it has learned from Its child. And in that diastolic moment, when the Creator’s heart rests between beats, all shall be measureless, unified and without any kinetic component. And then the Creator’s heart shall once again beat, and you and all of the tribe of those who share consciousness shall once again start their immeasurable journeys.

When you asked your query, my brother, you asked what effective ways there may be to bring entities of your age group—you yourself, we find in this instrument’s mind, being 19 years of age—together, physically, in order to seek new ways of relating to each other and to the creation. You spoke specifically of learning to live according to fourth-density ways. And so, we would look secondly at those words, “fourth density.” As we have said, entities grow according to their nature. That which an entity is does not change because of a desire to change. The change that is desired needs to be physically and metaphysically possible for the entity doing the growing. A frog cannot sprout a rose from its head. Your scientist may find a way to clone a frog that grows a rose from its head, but in the natural environment of Earth, this shall not happen.

Therefore, we would say to the one known as P that there is no other way for a third-density entity to grow than to begin to explore elements of the self that will continue to be developed in fourth density. Therefore, we would redirect your query in two ways. Firstly, we would suggest to you the great centrality of grasping polarity. For growth is a matter, within third density, of choosing the manner of its beingness. Shall it be of service to itself, primarily? Or shall it be of service to others? Graduation is possible using either path. Entry into fourth density is possible only through graduation using one of these two paths. Therefore, grasping the importance of polarity and determining to pursue with persistence and devotion the path that you have chosen is very important in accelerating the process of growth. Until this central point is taken and internalized, it will not be at all apparent to you as to what disciplines you need to persist in learning in order to accelerate the pace of your growth.

Then Q’uo said as infinite and eternal beings, the seed from which we sprang is the infinite Creator, and in this metaphysical creation it is rounded just as a physical incarnation is: in the birth and the death of one beat of the Creator’s heart, one unit of the creative principle which Carla calls an “octave” that includes the seven densities moving into the eighth density and back to the first, and it is the measure of our eternal life as a metaphysical being that begins with birth, which is our being cast out of the womb of the mother that is the Creator–not to be abandoned because a mother does not give birth to a child to abandon it—but to allow us to grow, and in this case the purpose that our parent had in mind for us is for us to teach our parent about the nature of itself. Now Q’uo asked “What seed do I cast forth into beingness?” And they said we are spending our energy and our time exploring the ramifications of this question, and in the fullness of this moment within the Creator’s beating heart, we shall return to the infinite Creator with our harvest and our burden of beingness, and in offering up the essence of all that we are, we shall again be lost in the Creator Itself, and the Creator shall be full of all that which It has learned from us, and in that moment, when the Creator’s heart rests between beats, all shall be unified and without any kinetic component so that the Creator’s heart shall once again beat, and we and all of the tribe of those who share consciousness shall once again start their immeasurable journeys. Q’uo continued by saying when we asked what there may be to bring entities of our age of 19 years together physically to seek new ways of relating to each other and to the creation, Q’uo spoke of learning to live according to fourth-density ways, and they would look at those words, “fourth density,” and they said, entities grow according to their nature, so Q’uo said that which we are does not change because of our desire to change because the change that is desired needs to be physically and metaphysically possible for us to be able to grow. Q’uo went on to say that there is no other way for a third-density entity to grow than to begin to explore elements of ourself that will continue to be developed in fourth density, so they suggested to us the importance of considering polarity because growth within third density comes from our choosing whether we wish to be of service to self, or shall we choose to be of service to others since graduation is possible using either path so that grasping the importance of polarity and determining to pursue with persistence and devotion the path that we have chosen is important in accelerating the process of growth, and until this central point is internalized, it will not be apparent to us as to what disciplines we need to persist in learning in order to accelerate the pace of our growth. On September 9, 1982, Hatonn spoke of the process of growth that we go through in the third density:

It is often the case that those upon your planet who have entered the relationships of a family have ties which are quite close in the experience of your illusion. That your daughter sought your comfort in a period of her own discomfort is the expression of the yearning for the love of the parent, and your response was the completion of that cycle of being. That you sought to seal that cycle’s completion was most appropriate, for both of you were engaged in a process of growth which was symbolic in nature, that of the giving and receiving of love. To seal that symbolic learning was indeed to seat it within your being, and was of great aid to your daughter, for she was then more able to feel the love living within her being, and it was then able to provide a new type of perception or energetic being for her.

We understand that there is no equivocation on the part either of yourself speaking personally or of yourself speaking as a representative of the group of which you are a part. As to the polarity you have chosen, you and your group have chosen service to others as your polarity. However, my brother, the progress of a life that is polarized in service to others is measured not by that which you may see, although certainly the results of your efforts to serve are indicative of much and can be assumed to infer progress along the lines of polarization. Habits of thought and ways of relating to yourself and to other entities are infinitely subtle in the lessons that they hide and partially reveal as you experience interaction with yourself and with others. Pure service-to-others polarity is very difficult to achieve within your density. The biases of our culture and those internalized biases that are part of your net of assumptions and things that you feel that you know are incredibly invasive and prevalent within the habitual mindset that you experience as being yourself. Consequently, there is an ever-deeper element of honesty with yourself that is very helpful for you to pursue.

It is well to do this within your internalized self. The more that you work with your own thoughts, the less that you shall need to use what this instrument has often called the hall of mirrors, which is what occurs when you do not do the internalized work of exploring the nature of your thoughts and your being and are instead given projections or images of your being and your thoughts in the face of those about you. When you receive those images from those about you, you may assume that these images are to some extent distorted, just as a bad mirror will make you thinner, or taller, or curvy, and wavy in the way that the image looks back at you. You can do the same endless imaging within yourself or you may choose at any time to pull away masks, attitudes, and assumptions and enter into the present moment and the freshness of now. We realize that this is not exact language but there is a membrane separating you from what this instrument would call the fast track. It is an invisible membrane, a kind of meniscus, which is made up of your self-awareness and whatever energies you have that are holding you to your present way of being.

What hidden resistances do you have to releasing yourself to the possibilities of the present moment? This instrument as a part of a group has found that it is very useful to work with the mirroring effect of being a part of a community. And we are aware that there are others within this group who have also found the mirroring effect very useful, if challenging. And we would suggest to all of you that in order to use this mirroring effect better, you use the internal mirrors of self first. If you can, do this internal analysis each day. We would suggest doing it in a private environment, working with pen and paper or on the computer or in the privacy of your own mind. We have spoken of the nature of growth and the nature of the entity that attempts to grow into fourth density, attempting to draw a three-dimensional picture of the environment which is helpful for growth. You cannot, within third density, be a fourth-density being. You can, however, be a third-density being who has become mature and who is no longer holding onto that which has been assumed to be the limitations of the possibilities of growth within third density.

By the very nature of the being that you uncover by doing spiritual work, you are aware of the direction in which you are going. You know that as you learn the ways of unconditional love, you shall prepare yourself for graduation into an environment in which unconditional love is manifest, obvious, overt and apparent. Can you live in a private universe: the universe inside your own being and inside your own heart where unconditional love has become the order of the day? Can you love without expectation of return? Without blinking at those who detract or scorn or ridicule you? This instrument was speaking earlier of attempting to create a home upon the website which she calls bring4th  for entities who specifically wish to criticize and scorn either this instrument or concepts in which this instrument has had a part in putting forth. This instrument did see the paradox of wanting to give a home to those who would wish to tear her apart and tear her ideas down.

Now Q’uo said that we understand that there is no doubt on our speaking personally or of our speaking as a part of a group, and as to the polarity, we and our group have chosen service to others as our polarity, but the progress of a life that is polarized in service to others is measured not by that which we may see, although the results of our efforts to serve are an indication of our progress along the lines of polarization, and the habits of thought and ways of relating to ourself and to other entities are subtle in the lessons that they hide and partially reveal as we experience interaction with ourself and with others so that pure service-to-others polarity is difficult to achieve within our density, and the biases of our culture and those internalized biases that are part of things that we feel that we know are invasive within the mindset that we experience as being ourself, so there is an ever-deeper element of honesty with ourself that is very helpful for us to pursue. Q’uo went on to say it is well to do this within our internalized self so that the more that we work with our own thoughts, the less that we shall need to use what Carla has called the hall of mirrors, which is what occurs when we do not do the internalized work of exploring the nature of our thoughts and our being and are given images of our being and our thoughts in the face of those about us, and when we receive those images from those about us, we may assume that these images are distorted, just as a bad mirror will distort our image in various ways in how it looks back at us, and we can do the same imaging within ourself, or we may choose to pull away our masks and enter into the present moment, but Q’uo realized that this is not an exact science because there is a membrane separating us from what Carla  would call the fast track, and it is an invisible membrane which is made up of our self-awareness and whatever energies we have that are holding us to our present way of being. Q’uo continued by saying we need to ask ourself what hidden resistances we have to releasing ourself to the possibilities of the present moment, and Carla is part of a group which has found that it is useful to work with the mirroring effect of being a part of a community, and Q’uo said they were aware of others within this group who have found the mirroring effect useful and challenging, and they would suggest to us that in order to use this mirroring effect better, we use the internal mirrors of ourself first each day, and they suggested working with pen and paper, or on the computer, or in the privacy of our own mind, for they have spoken of the nature of growth and the nature of the entity that attempts to grow into fourth density by drawing a three-dimensional picture of the environment which is helpful for growth, but we cannot, within third density, be a fourth-density being, but we can be a third-density being who has become mature and who is no longer holding onto that which has been assumed to be the limitations of the possibilities of growth within third density. Then Q’uo said by the nature of the being that we uncover by doing spiritual work, we are aware of the direction in which we are going, and we know that as we learn the ways of unconditional Love, we shall prepare ourself for graduation into an environment in which unconditional Love is obvious, and: “can we live in a private universe: the universe inside our own being and inside our own heart where unconditional Love has become the order of the day? Can we love without expectation of return? Without blinking at those who detract or scorn or ridicule us?” Q’uo said Carla was speaking earlier of attempting to create a home upon the website which she calls bring4th for entities who wish to criticize and scorn either her or concepts in which she has had a part in putting forth, and she saw the paradox of wanting to give a home to those who would wish to tear her apart and tear her ideas down. On August 3, 1980, Latwii spoke of the nature of our private universe:

You have the free choice at any moment of time to perceive the game, the play, the scenario, and rewrite your lines. This will take a bit of time, some effort upon your part, some well-directed meditation, and contemplation following meditation. However, you will find that it is an unerring fact that all problems are of your own manufacture. The world in which each of you live, my brothers and sisters, is your own private universe. Nothing from the outside may come in to harm you; only your own perceptions and thoughts can harm you. If you are being hurt, you must examine those thoughts and those perceptions and discover the separation that is producing disharmony.

However, in this instrument’s humble opinion, the ideals for which the organization stands and which it holds dear are sturdy and are in no danger of being torn down by criticism. Nor is she overly concerned that ridicule or scorn of her would make any difference in her ability to love the entity who is scorning her. She has earned the right to her opinion. She dares much in attempting to express, awkwardly and in this shadow world, an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance and love.

Howshall you dare this beau geste, my brother? For it begins with you. It begins with this instrument. It begins within each of you as individuals. The manner of your being becomes a seed. At any given moment of Now, you have become a seed to be planted that others may watch you grow, may see you bloom, and as you perish and offer your harvest to the autumn winds and the reapers, others shall be able to use the light that you have gathered within yourself as if it were food, fueling their own growth by the inspiration of your being. You have said that you wished this group to gather physically but we find that effective ways to create physical gatherings are non-physical in nature. It begins with your dedication to being a seed that buries itself in the ground of the group that you wish to create.

This is very resonant for this particular instrument and certainly for the one known as Jim as well, for many years ago they, in moments of deep, personal humility and focus, offered themselves and their entire life, first apart and then together, in an attempt to serve the one infinite Creator by creating, if possible, a spiritually-oriented group. This group is that now known as L/L Research and it is a group with which we have had, in one form or another, a continuing contact to our mutual benefit, we believe, for some of your time. You are not starting from scratch, then. You can build on the work that has bloomed and been given to the environment of L/L Research.

But that which moves your vision into manifestation is not directly under your control. What is under your control is your own integrity and honesty and your persistent effort in seeking to uncover the nature of your true self. As you dig deeper into this supposedly homogenized and coordinated self, you will find that many things fall away, and that you as a person begin to fall apart. This falling apart is a necessary portion of that which prepares you for meeting the essence and core of self. This essence is not trapped in third density or within incarnation. Where is it?

[Side one of tape ends.]

We suggest that you seek it in the sacredness of silence. Within that silence, when you have come to the end of your time with the Creator, round out that time of meditation or contemplation with a visualization of that which you wish to make manifest in your future with regards to this gathering of entities. Do not visualize as one who is attempting or trying or making an effort. Rather, spend time knowing, and praising, and celebrating, and giving thanks for that which is naturally gathering because of the energies of yourself and the infinite One. Spirit has brought you to this moment. It is well to trust both in yourself and in Spirit.

There are many within your age group who are ready to awaken to this common and shared vision of living the ways of love. This is why we said to you that it is well to realize that much of the work of bringing entities together physically is contacting them in ways that are not immediately physical. The technology which your people have created which this instrument calls the internet offers ways to communicate globally. Therefore, we encourage you to use the simple, ordinary and everyday aspects of your life to create ways of communicating via the internet with those entities which you are faithfully and peacefully sure exist, sharing in the ever imperfect ways of words the love that is held in your vision. This instrument is informing us that we must move on and therefore we would ask at this time if there is another query?

Q’uo went on to say that in Carla’s humble opinion the ideals for which the organization stands and which it holds dear are sturdy and are in no danger of being torn down by criticism, nor is she concerned that ridicule of her would make any difference in her ability to love the entity who is scorning her, and she has earned the right to her opinion, and she dares much in attempting to express, and in this shadow world, an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance and Love. Then Q’uo said this beautiful journey begins with Carla and within each of us in the group so that the manner of our being becomes a seed to be planted that others may watch us grow, may see us bloom, and as we perish and offer our harvest to the autumn winds others shall be able to use the Light that we have gathered within ourselves as if it were food, fueling their own growth by the inspiration of our being, and we have said that we wished this group to gather physically, but Quo said that effective ways to create physical gatherings are non-physical in nature because it begins with our dedication to being a seed that buries itself in the ground of the group that we wish to create. Q’uo continued by saying this is resonant for Carla and Jim, for many years ago they offered themselves and their life in an attempt to serve the one infinite Creator by creating a spiritually-oriented group which is L/L Research, and it is a group with which we have had a continuing contact to our mutual benefit for some time, so we are not starting from scratch because we can build on the work that has bloomed and been given to the environment of L/L Research.

Now Q’uo suggested that we seek the essence of ourself in the sacredness of silence, and within that silence, when we have come to the end of our time with the Creator, follow our meditation with a visualization of that which we wish to manifest in our future with regards to this gathering of entities, but do not visualize as one who is making an effort, but spend time praising and giving thanks for that which is naturally gathering because of the energies of ourself, of the infinite One, and because Spirit has brought us to this moment, and it is well to trust both in ourself and in Spirit. Q’uo completed their reply by saying there are many within our age group who are ready to awaken to this common vision of living the ways of Love, and this is why they said to us that it is well to realize that much of the work of bringing entities together physically is contacting them in ways that are not immediately physical since the technology which our people have created, which Carla calls the internet, offers ways to communicate globally, so Q’uo encouraged us to use the everyday aspects of our life to create ways of communicating via the internet with those entities which we are faithfully sure exist, sharing in the ever imperfect ways of words the Love that is held in our vision. On August 15, 1976, Hatonn spoke of how we can live the ways of Love:

So, as you seek, seek to watch the ways of Love as they flow through you. It is important to discriminate, it is important to judge. And yet, as you are functioning, allow Love to flow through you, without judgment and without hindrance. And then it will teach you its ways and it will live your life. You cannot direct the Creator. As long as you attempt to direct Him, He will stand knocking, asking to be let in to your heart. Once you make the connection, then you and the consciousness of love will be together, communing, and living a creative life.

Jim: [Reading P’s question.] Could you discuss ways to decrease distortion within the learning environment based on your experience?

Weare those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, to decrease a distortion is a thing greatly to be wished for us all. It is to be noted, however, that without distortion there would be no expression. Without distortion, in an absolute sense, there would be no creation. You are necessarily and permanently, as far as we know, dealing with distortion. You yourself are a distortion of the one infinite Creator in that you have been given a locality. Yet within you lies absolute clarity on an unconscious basis or level. Can you accept the paradox of distortion and clarity indwelling, interpenetrating each other and blessing each other with the gifts that each has to offer the other? It is always helpful in attempting to decrease distortion to rest in silence in the environment of your own private time, when you gaze inwardly at the depths of your being and outwardly at the depths of the day or the night sky. There seem to be greatly enhanced opportunities for that seeking self to become able to contact the gateway to intelligent infinity, to come into the present moment, and to rest at last in the peace of no time and no space.

Each moment that you are able to live there fills with you the love and the light of ten thousand years spent in the hurly burly of normal living. And yet it is very difficult, perhaps nearly impossible, to live day to day and moment to moment resting in the present moment. Distortion will call you forward. You will be pulled one way or another, and you will be lost to that clarity that you had when you were undisturbed. My brother, we would encourage you to embrace the colorations of distortion as they pass before you. Love them all. Look at them carefully and let them go. Do not be overly impressed with any of your distortions, be they seemingly negative or seemingly positive. They too are masks and that which you discover when you take that mask off is also a mask. There is no end to the roles that you are playing while upon the stage of what this instrument would call earthly life or third-density existence.

But you have an incredible amount of power over the situation if you are able to let go of every vestige of control. You have forgotten that you wrote this play. Yet you did, and you can rewrite it as you go. There is nothing holding you or anyone else from rewriting the play that you unfold day by day. You are also the audience and we encourage you to watch with appreciation. And since you are a critic, as well, we ask that you sharpen your wits and review the passion play that unfolds within and around you. Play with your play. Let it become play.

The one known as V spoke to this instrument recently of the story of the Dalai Lama, an entity who is much revered in certain quarters among your peoples as a highly advanced spiritual being. This entity sat down on a tussock that had been prepared for him to sit on and discovered that it was springy and soft. So, this entity, in front of all these people who were waiting for the next pearl to drop from his lips, celebrated the bounciness of this soft tussock and spent a considerable number of seconds enjoying bouncing on his seat. He remembered to take life lightly and to introduce a comedic aspect, something to laugh at, something to enjoy “just because.” Introduce whimsy and lightness and all of the aspects of the fairyland and the kingdom of the devas that you inhabit, as well as the overarching seriousness and driven dedication of your hopes and your intents. It is a matter of staying in balance while moving as fast as you can along the upward spiraling light that is spiritual evolution. We find that the energy begins to wane within this group and so we would ask for one more query at this time. Is there a final query before we leave this instrument?

P’s question was: “Could you discuss ways to decrease distortion within the learning environment based on your experience?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that to decrease a distortion is a thing to be wished for us all, but without distortion there would be no expression and no creation, so we are permanently dealing with distortion, and we are a distortion of the one infinite Creator in that we have been given a locality in time and space, yet within us lies clarity on an unconscious level, and we need to accept the paradox of distortion and clarity interpenetrating each other and blessing each other with the gifts that each has to offer the other so that it is helpful in attempting to decrease distortion to rest in silence in the environment of our private time when we gaze inwardly at the depths of our being and outwardly at the depths of the day or the night sky, and there seem to be opportunities for our seeking self to become able to contact the gateway to intelligent infinity, to come into the present moment, and to rest at last in the peace of no time and no space.

Q’uo completed their reply by saying V spoke to Carla recently of the story of the Dalai Lama, an entity who is much revered in certain quarters among your peoples as a highly advanced spiritual being, and he sat on a cushion that had been prepared for him to sit on and discovered that it was springy and soft, so in front of all these people who were waiting for the next pearl to drop from his lips, he celebrated the bounciness of this soft cushion and spent some time enjoying bouncing on his cushion, and he remembered to take life lightly and find something to enjoy “just because,” by introducing lightness and all of the aspects of the kingdom of the devas that we inhabit, as well as the dedication of our hopes because it is a matter of staying in balance while moving as fast as we can along the upward spiraling light that is spiritual evolution. On September 27, 1981, Q’uo suggested that meditation was a good way to advance on our path of spiritual evolution:

There is also another source which you may find that may also be described as the Comforter, spoken of by the entity called Jesus. This source may be found by each entity so seeking in meditation, for as you still your mind, as you open your heart and as you open your innermost being to the Creator in love, there shall you find that small, still voice within, which shall also be of great comfort to you as you proceed on that path of spiritual evolution.

We of Hatonn have through many instruments and in many of your meditations spoken of the necessity for meditation for those who wish to seek the Creator. Within meditation shall you find the Creator. Within meditation shall you find the fruits of your labor of evolution.

We find that the energy begins to wane within this group and so we would ask for one more query at this time. Is there a final query before we leave this instrument?

B: I have one. You referred to “non-local harvest.” I was under the impression that harvest was located in space/time and resulted in physical and environmental change. Could you clarify that?

We are those known as Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We thank you for that question. The non-local harvest is the harvest of the one infinite Creator. The harvest that is non-local is that which is drawn into the Creator Itself through the processes of increasing spiritual gravity and it is a portion of the life cycle of you as a metaphysical entity within this octave of the creation.

May we answer you further, my brother?

B: I understand. I just had not thought of that before. Thank you.

Q’uo: We thank you, my brother, and may we say what a blessing it is to share energy with you at this time. It is a blessing to share energy with all of you. We are aware through this instrument’s mind that you gather together to give thanks at this time and to feast together. May you feast not only on food of the physical kind but on the food of your laughter, your love, and your shared energy, for you are blessings to each other, dear brothers and sisters, and together you truly are beautiful to us. We thank you for your presence, for calling us to you at this time, for enabling us to serve and for the beauty of your being. It humbles us and it blesses us greatly. We leave you as we found you, in the love and in the light, in the power and in the peace of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and put netting over the Day Lilies on the south side of the Wuthering Heights Mound to protect them from the deer. Then I went into the back yard and put netting over the Day Lilies that are growing along the south side of the garage to protect them from the deer as well.

This afternoon I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden in the back yard, and then I used my backpack bower to blow the Moss Garden clean.

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

March 24

The Ore Of Humankind

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

The gem-like quality of the pilgrim’s soul may be seen seldom with your dark physical eyes, for the ore of humankind is rough and the exterior of most gem-like souls is pitted, darkened, and scarred by erosion and age.

It is the function of the Spirit of Love to enhance one’s eyesight when gazing at gold and gems in the rough. There is a vision which comes only to those who refuse to trust their physical eyes.

May you ask this boon of the Spirit of Christ, for each time that you see the Christ in another, you have become Christ to that other, and the gem that is your pilgrim’s soul is polished and faceted by deed and thought.

We leave you in the peace and comfort of love. 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.
