I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from February 4, 2002:

The question today, Q’uo, deals with the concept of self-doubt in relation to change and to the increased vibrations that everybody seems to feel: more stress, more choices, more anxiety in the life pattern. We would like for you to give us an idea of how we can deal with self-doubt when stability in the way things are seems so much more comfortable, how we can deal with change in making choices on the spiritual path.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this day. We wish to thank you for forming a circle of seeking, and for your desire to serve, and for your desire to know ever better and ever more purely. We can feel the gravity of the concerns which you bear this day. The experience of third density is ever poignant and pointed, full of emotion and challenge for the seeker. For truly the awakened seeker is caught between two worlds. Not necessarily stranded or snared but certainly aware of and needing to relate to worlds that seem very separate. Responding to the demands of physical incarnation, the need for supply, warmth, shelter, food, clothing, and all the considered necessities of the life is, in itself, not an easy or simple task.

The question of worth is always present. What is worth more, free time or more money? What is worth more, intensity of effort or material success from effort? Questions like this are not easily answered and in the context of an everyday life it seems that these demands of supply and finding ways of meeting the challenge of each day create more than enough opportunity for new things, new experinces, new ways, and new directions. At the same time as this world of the horizontal takes up the three dimensions of your days there is at the same time within you a vertical life that seeks always to reach higher and to go deeper, to find the springs of inspiration within the roots of consciousness and to find the guidance from up above. And it comes through earnest desire and persistent asking.

The one known as R spoke of sitting on the fence over decisions, and we find that this is often the skillful thing to do. There is, as far as we know, no indication, spiritually speaking, that it is better to move quickly than to move slowly.

Perhaps the direction that we would like to take this day is to talk about something that this instrument has been pondering at this time and that is the building of the road between the two worlds. The particular energies of this particular time and space for each of you have an unusually strong and generous energy at this time for the simple reasons that your entire globe is in that area of time/space in which your Earth’s fourth density is coming into birth. We cannot say how long this labor shall last, but while it is occurring there are great needs within your people and your planet, great pressures for change that are the product of this particular phase of planetary labor. And these things are affecting not only each of you in subtle ways but also the nature of time and space and the nature of Light. In other words, your world is changing around you. So, is it any wonder that each of you senses that this is a time of change, that there is some urgency to expressing the truth of the self, and that in order to better express this truth, this and the succeeding time, shall we say, in this next decade, is and shall be prime time for finding new ways more fully to express the self in its heart and in its soul. Not necessarily in grand or impressive ways but in those ways that create within the self the sense of completing patterns, serving more fully in expressing the self in an ever-deeper level.

There are many things that fall away when change occurs. This instrument was attempting to fit her old desk’s accoutrements into a new desk and was finding that many, many things do not fit. What shall she do with these bits and pieces of a workaday life, these small boxes and piles of physical items that no longer have a niche? So, it is within the inner self when there is a change in the geographical location. The new home for the one known as S, the possibilities of new jobs for the ones known as Jim and R, and certainly all the possibilities that lie before this instrument at this time. They are heady things, things that can become larger than the underlying principles that created them and gave them their substance. We would encourage each of you not to be distracted into thinking that the outer details and the shifts and changes necessary in the physical world are the most difficult part of a change. For within the self there is the equivalent of many an old desk with many a niche that is filled with many a detail that is considered an important part, a significant part, of the personality. What shall be packed up and taken with the self, and what shall be left behind? What still fits in the drawers of self, and what must be abandoned?

The group question for this session was: “We would like for you to give us an idea of how we can deal with self-doubt when stability in the way things seem so much more comfortable, how we can deal with change in making choices on the spiritual path.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the third density is a challenging place for the seeker to be as we are caught between two worlds and must relate to them in different ways such as using our daily catalyst to grow or to find more ways to support ourselves in paying our bills, but both ways create opportunities for new experiences and new directions for us to pursue: “the vertical life that seeks always to reach higher and to go deeper, to find the springs of inspiration within the roots of consciousness and to find the guidance from up above. And it comes through earnest desire and persistent asking.” Q’uo went on to say that the energies of this time were greatly enhanced as our planet moves into the fourth density, so it would be necessary for each of us to build a road between these two worlds because our world is changing around us, so it is not surprising that we feel that this is a time of great change and discovering the truth of ourself and in the next decade to find new ways to fully express ourself in our heart and soul and create within ourself the sense of serving more fully in expressing the ourself in ever-deeper levels. Q’uo went on to say that there are many things within our inner self that fall away when change occurs, so they encouraged each of us not to think that the outer changes in the physical world are the most difficult part of change because within ourself there is the equivalent of an old desk that is filled with many details that are considered an important part of our personality, so we need to determine what shall we pack up and taken with us, and what shall we leave behind. On January 16, 1994, Q’uo spoke of the nature and purpose of change:

Therefore, the first thing we would say about change and the entity changing is to remember that the changes are apparent as great and sweeping [inaudible] changes in direction, but in a more true sense you are simply moving from car to car on that train of destiny. You are beyond all changes secure, safe, and held with the greatest tenderness by the Love of the infinite One. When all overwhelms you, it is well to remember that you need do nothing but rest in those arms. As change occurs the disoriented and torn consciousness which is often experienced can be most unsettling, yet there is always beyond the unsettling emotions the comfort which you may claim, that comfort of the one who loves, the one whose love is greatly [inaudible] of you. Love created you and Love loves you.

This resting and abiding certainty can heal the most tattered spirit, but the gaze must be shifted away from the torn and bleeding circumstances, relationship, or whatever is perceived as changing and making vulnerable and afraid that self which is your conscious self. To attempt to get a true grounding from the other passengers, shall we say, is not to invoke the higher or more overarching energies, rather, to turn to the infinite Creator for solace and comfort is the effective action, for consider that each entity who you interact with is also on that train which his destiny has chosen.

These are far more challenging questions than how to make arrangements for a new situation in the physical. And there is far less support within the network of relationships in the matrix of the culture for these inner changes than there is support for the outer changes that all people understand and have in common. Many, many sympathize and grasp the nature of change when it is the new job, the new house, the new vocation, the new relationship, the new tragedy, or illness. All of these changes, good and bad in the outer sense, can be seen by most people to be challenging. Yet it is more difficult to find support when the changes are within. There is no true social pattern for inner change. The entities that are fortunate enough to find spiritually oriented communities in which they can express their concern for others’ needs are perhaps in the most favored position to express support and encouragement to those with whom they come into contact.

In the normal run of a life, sharing in the workplace and speaking on the surface of things how very little true support and encouragement there is for the chewing over of details, the turning about of the situation, looking to find those elements of the puzzle that are the keys to fitting all the other pieces, all the colors and the newness into a new pattern. And how mazed and difficult it is sometimes to see a new pattern. Indeed, sometimes it is impossible for the best of humans in third density, and we would not encourage you to be harsh with yourself when you stumble. For the outer portions of change are difficult enough and then those unexplored corners of self that are being left behind in the new change are at a level of difficulty that is almost impossible to express and, yet, each of those who hears can think back into his life and see again and again those times of loneliness and solitude when the outer life was tranquil and yet the inner life was full of tumult.

It is not that there is no balm for those heart-sore people who are moving through change, for there is. There is endless balm, endless compassion, endless assistance. The challenge is in becoming still enough to receive. For the self is used to the struggle, to breathe, to pump blood, to prepare the food, to keep things in order and move ahead. The third-density training is to do, to act, to meet and solve all incoming problems. So, fear not those times of change but know that then is the time to turn to the silence with an especial understanding of the importance of this rest for your soul.

There is the need to make a full stop from time to time in the day. A disengaging from the details, the morasses and tangles of effort, relationship and profit. How precious it is simply to be able to stop, to rest, and to knock at the door of your own heart hoping, waiting for the moment when the key turns because the mind is finally silent and that door springs open into that holy place wherein the Creator awaits. There is a timeless temple made of silence, arched with beauty, steepled with hope, founded on simple faith that all is well. It is a spacious, spacious room, this holy of holies within. It is a wonderful slice of heaven, a small place of Eden where there is nothing rude, nothing imperfect, where there is never any change because all is truly one.

Perhaps one key that we would share with you in thinking about change is to refrain from thinking of it as a dialectic, for that simply perpetuates duality. Although yours is the density of choice, yet also is there a level wherein all is one. And each choice that is made is far better served by preparatory time spent in the unitary and unified silence of your own heart, practicing the presence of the infinite Creator and allowing the questions in your heart simply to be so that you, and the Creator, and the questions with which you come rest all together, loved and loving, Creator known to created, created known to Creator. Each time that you come into this space, move into it with empty hands, for you know not what gifts the silence will bring you. You do not know what beasts, birds, winds, and weathers may respond and come to bring you messages, giving eloquence to the silence and hints to the wise.

Then Q’uo said that these decisions of what to keep and what to throw away within our spiritual journey have little support from our culture whereas there is support for the outer changes that all people understand and have in common such as a new job, sickness, or loss of a loved one, so as spiritual seekers we need to join in spiritual communities where we can support each other as each of us goes through our inner changes.  Q’uo went on to say that sometimes it is difficult to see a new pattern, and they said that we should not judge ourself harshly when we fail because there is support and compassion for us if we move into the silence to feel the rest for our soul and:  “knock at the door of your own heart hoping, waiting for the moment when the key turns because the mind is finally silent and that door springs open into that holy place wherein the Creator awaits. There is a timeless temple made of silence, arched with beauty, steepled with hope, founded on simple faith that all is well.” Q’uo continued by saying that we should not see change as being a metaphysical contradiction, for that perpetuates duality and ignores the unity of all so that before we make any choices as to how we should change we should prepare ourselves by entering the silence of our heart where we can practice the presence of the Creator without any expectations as to the answer because we cannot know what gifts the silence will bring to us. On October 10, 2004, Q’uo spoke of the value of the silence and the gifts it may bring us:

 It is difficult to put into words the value of meditation. Certainly, some entities are expert at achieving a one-pointed focus. The vast majority of entities, however, remain forever, to their own judgment, greatly imperfect and incompetent meditators whose thoughts arise again, and again, and again. And yet, the value to an entity of the meditative experience is undiminished by the self-perceived imperfection of the technique.

We would suggest that, without judgment or expectation, you simply seek the silence and listen for the Creator’s footsteps. Wait for the Creator’s arms to embrace you. Listen for the sound of the door to your heart opening wide. The gifts of silence cannot be expressed, but the virtue of the attempt to enter the silence is absolute.

When you do not have the chance to practice silence in a formal manner, we encourage you to seek the ways of nature and enter the creation of natural things whenever possible, for there in that world you are a harmonious and beloved part of all. There, in that universe, the Light is trusted. Life and death are equally embraced, and all blooms and blossoms bow to the wind, to the weather, and to the seasons. Such seasons there are also in several layers within the personality shell, within the life experienced by that personality shell within incarnation.

It is a helpful thing, indeed, to glance back and see the shape of former spirals of learning, for the past can inform you about yourself. Memory can tell you where your strengths and weaknesses have been in the past. Certainly, that memory does not serve to create new solutions to the problems of the past or creative directions for those patterns of the past which are felt to be incorrect. It is difficult to separate the glamour of the way things seem from the simplicity that lies beneath detail, the pattern that lies beneath the chaos. The one known as Jim was saying that out of a couple of instances of complete chaos and dropping things and seemingly losing the pattern, some items that had been sought for some time had been found. The pattern was restored in spite of itself, almost. And often this strange and arbitrary sequence of events will produce new gifts, new patterns, new beginnings, seemingly, almost by accident or in spite of oneself.

Wewish that we could reach from our position into your world and arrange the details of your incarnation so that the worries that are upon your mind would not be there. For we sympathize greatly with the sometimes formidable amount of difficulty which surrounds key decisions within the life pattern. Yet we have no way to enter into your pattern to smooth out the spirals of your learning and your growth. We can only say to you that the more you rest in trust and faith, the more room that you give coincidence to work for you. The stronger your belief that all is well the more quickly patterns will smooth out and reveal that, indeed, all is well. And, conversely, the more a fear is focused upon the more that fear becomes real, to the point where, as each of you has seen in the past, this self-fulfilling prophecy does occur and that which is most feared comes to be because it has been the focus for energy within the self, and it has created its own vortex and started to lay out its talons into your life.

When you feel those contractions of fear that surround a proposed change we ask you to honor those feelings, not to avoid them or replace them with affirmations, but to embrace them, to rest with them, to allow the process of balance to work itself out within you so that its strains run sweet and true and all of that which is catalyst for you is allowed to pass through the membranes, shall we say, of your desires and emotions and processes. Do not duck them or push them down below the level of consciousness but find time for them. Find time to sit with them as though they were your own children that were worried and concerned. Perhaps talking out loud to them may even be helpful. The one thing that is sure is that fears do not go away because of repression or because of consciously shoving a fear aside and shoving in a faith that is not felt from the inside out but is grasped from the outside in. There is faith within you. It is not something that you have to pretend but that faith begins with honoring and respecting one’s own feelings of doubt and unbelief.

The healing of doubt is in balancing, and that balance is sometimes slow in coming, so we ask you to be patient with yourself. Allow time to pass. Allow destiny to roll. Allow the cry of the wolf, the honking of the geese, the keening of the wind and the storming of the rain to bring those elements to you that only time can bring, to allow those energies to move through you with only time to accomplish in the movement.

It is true that a new age has been born and your planet at this time is in labor with this new world. And so, you, too, are in labor within yourself, birthing a new and hopefully more spiritually oriented entity, finding ways as you make choices to become more real. How do you forge a road between the everyday of earning a living and the fourth density of love unconditionally given and received? Each of you has part of the answer to that, for each of you is at work paving that road now with your thoughts, with your faith, and with your doubts.

Now Q’uo said that when we don’t have the opportunity to practice meditation that we can walk within nature’s environment where life and death are seen as equal to each other, and our personality shell has these same features. Q’uo went on to say that our memory can tell us what our strengths and weaknesses are but cannot give us new solutions to old problems, and it is difficult to see the patterns beneath the chaos which may produce new gifts in spite of ourself. Q’uo continued by saying that the more that we rest in trust and faith, the more likely that coincidences will speak to us and patterns will reveal that all is well, and on the other hand the more we focus on fear, then fear becomes a self-filling prophecy because we have given energy to our thoughts of fear. Then Q’uo suggested that when we begin to experience fear regarding upcoming changes that we should not ignore them or deal with them with affirmations but give them respect and sit with them, even talking with them because we have faith within us that gives us the ability to honor and respect our feelings of doubt and unbelief. Q’uo said that it takes time for us to balance our doubt and let the energies of destiny move through us. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that our planet is in labor with the energy of the fourth density, and we are also in labor to become a more spiritually oriented seeker, and then they asked: “How do you forge a road between the everyday of earning a living and the fourth density of love unconditionally given and received? Each of you has part of the answer to that, for each of you is at work paving that road now with your thoughts, with your faith, and with your doubts.” On May 22, 2006, Q’uo spoke of how the fourth density energies are affecting us and our planet:

The planet herself has an energy system, which is in the midst of a tremendous ending and beginning, shall we say. For the energies of third density, as this instrument was saying before this contact began, are so heavily interpenetrated now with fourth-density energy, that the vibrations of Love are having a powerful unseen effect on all entities in their inner energy systems, or what this instrument would call the chakra system. Because of the fact that fourth-density energy contains truth without reserve, the effect upon third-density entities is a marked increase in those entities receiving into their conscious awareness material with which they do not wish to be in. This energy of truth sometimes does not feel like unconditional love. Indeed, in third density, unconditional love cannot be seen to contain that truth; rather, it contains the creative structures of those yearning for truth. The yearning is very helpful to entities who wish to cooperate with the interpenetrating energy of fourth density.

As always, we are with you; we and many others are glad to join you in your meditations to strengthen them. It is our privilege and pleasure to find ways to bring you dreams and stray thoughts and coincidences, and this is not only our practice but many of those within the inner planes of your planet who wish to help you will find ways to communicate concerning those things that you are worried about. Keep open the ears and the eyes and behold those small beauties and blessings that each day brings.

We would at this time ask if there are any questions that any present would like to ask, a follow-up on this question, or any other questions. Is there a question at this time?

[No queries.]

We find that when the one known as Jim stopped answering the questions for us the questions dried up. ¹ We shall, therefore, wind up our speech through this instrument, our “cosmic sermonette,” ² as this instrument would say, by saying what a privilege and what a blessing it is to speak with each of you, and, as always, to ask that each of you listen to what we have to say with a jaundiced eye, or ear, taking those things that seem good to you and leaving the rest behind.

How we wish that we could express to you the gemlike nature of the processes of suffering and change that you go through, how we can see the tempering and annealing work that is being done within through the excellent processes of catalyst and experience within your density. Truly, all is well and each of you is on course. May you fare well. May you be bold. And may you be merry.

We leave you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Thank you for the privilege at this time of speaking. We are those known to you as the principle of the Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai vasu borragus. ³

1–Carla: Jim, a humble man, was concerned that his channeling was unworthy, and refrained from channeling Q and A on this day. After this comment from the Q’uo group, he decided that perhaps his channel, too, was needed! Thanks be to the Creator! 

2–A phrase from Brad Steiger’s book, The Divine Fire. 

3–This salutation often draws questions from readers. I believe it is both a salutation and a farewell, and means, roughly, “Greetings in the Creator, dear brothers/sisters.” George Hunt Williamson was of the opinion that the language from which it comes was that of Maldek, called Solex Mal.

This morning I was once again honored to be a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. The questions were well thought out and heart oriented as well. There was a focus of questions on the archetypical mind at the beginning of the session which were a challenge for me to respond to because this is the densest material that we ever got in Ra contact. Jonathan always has a Pop Quiz for me at the end of the session, and today the topic was about Martin Luther King, Jr. I have always thought that it was a wonderful synchronicity that the Ra contact began on January 15, the 52^nd anniversary of his birthday.

This afternoon I made an errand run with my first stop at Feeder’s Supply to buy some bird seed. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. When I got home I cleaned the filters on the fishpond and then sprayed the mud off of the north and south sides of the garage where they are close to the ground.

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

January 4

The Cold Of Human Commonplace

I am of that principle which is the essence of divine Love. I greet you in the full consciousness of that Love which is in Jesus the Christ.

How tightly are the seeds furled against the cold of winter this day. And how tightly are your hearts guarded in their hope for growth. They contract, shrinking from the cold of the human commonplace.

Yet we say to you that within the spirit of the consciousness of love lies an eternal springtime. Seek in each daily activity this day the dance of joy which the spirit offers to unfurl the heart within and to join work and love.

May your day dance. May your heart know both winter and the goodness of nurturing and waiting and the eternal springtime of right action led in hope, love, and peace. For as you call the Spirit, so these qualities come in answer.

We leave you in that great peace, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer for 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. The Q’uo quote today comes from January 20, 2002:

The question today has to do with the concept of how we create our experience, our reality, by the way we think, by the way we believe. We would like for Q’uo to give us any indication as to whether that might be correct and if it is, how does that work? We would like to have more information on how we can create a more harmonious reality.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, whose service we share with you. We thank you for forming a circle of seeking on this snowy day. It is a blessing to us to respond to your request for thoughts on the notion that beliefs can change your future. We are aware that in the sense that the world sees things this may be very difficult to grasp. However, we believe it is correct and we would be glad to share some thoughts about it.

First of all, we must remember the creation that you experience and the creation that, shall we say, is the reality of which the creation is the illusion are very, very close together but are not the same thing. The illusion is as close as a heartbeat to reality but is invested with physicality so that you are actually a traveler in two worlds at the same time: the world of your outer experience and the world of your inner experience. To suggest that the inner experience influences the outer experience would not be to suggest something very unusual. For it is clear to all of those in the circle how much difference a person’s attitude can make with regard to most situations faced. Certainly, it is easy to see that the glad smile or the way of making light of some perceived difficulty will always create an atmosphere of the people around one, if not the self, to feel better about an existing situation.

Wherever the self or other people are concerned the words said create not just an atmosphere but a feeling. And that feeling predisposes the inner self in ways that are difficult to see, looking from the eyes of the world. In actuality even that reality that you sense that is a heartbeat away from the illusion is not the end of the seeking for reality, for each of you is part of a group oversoul, shall we say, or a larger self that contains many seeming individuals that are not the self but in actuality are part of the self. And these larger entities are part of even larger entities until you get to the level of planets and sun bodies and the kind of entities that have many orders of magnitude beyond the one that you now experience.

Allof these orders of reality are alike reality and illusion. However, the level at which one is working is very difficult to pin down in words because in no case will it be that which is congruent with the outer reality which is an illusion. Consequently, a great deal of the path of seeking the truth is, as the one known as R said, discovering the depth of the truth that one cannot control all things in order for the self to feel comfortable, for the self will never feel comfortable. For all things cannot be controlled, and most things are not even supposed to be controlled. That is, we suggest to you that the apparent chances and changes of an everyday life have elements of excellence in all of the offerings spread before your experience each day, not simply the seemingly fortunate happenstances but also those accidents and misfortunes which seem to be quite the opposite of fortunate and seem to be ill-starred and unlucky or even tragic.

The way the illusion is set up is almost guaranteed to make it impossible for you to be able to control the inner universe. It is a situation where the outer personality shell attempts to order things so that the self will be comfortable. This is the usual choice for entities. They attempt to control the environment for comfort and for perceived goals that have to do with security and protection.

The film that this entity was talking about earlier is an offering by a scientist who suggests that the role of the physical things that make up the body, the genetic structure of the body, is not as controlling and elective as it appears from the outside in, that what one has in the genetic structure of the self as inherited appearance is not necessarily that which must be experienced. This entity explained that these genetic structures have a garment and that garment is kept over the genetic structure in such a way that it does not appear or become activated in the life experience as long as this covering is allowed to remain over the genetic structure. This covering is made of proteins. These proteins are excited by incoming signals which cause these proteins to express themselves, first by electrical pulse, then by the exciting of the precise proteins that the electricity encourages. And then another electrical pulse to complete the errand started by the protein which come to either uncovering the genetic structure and causing it to be triggered or leaving it as it is.

This entity was simply saying that the belief of the person has the actual physical power to change the input signal that electrifies the proteins, and that this change in belief will change the reaction of the physical body so that if there is a tendency towards cancer in the family, by figuring out what positive things keep that sleeve on the cancer gene and figuring out what things to avoid to keep from taking that sleeve off that gene that cancer gene never needs to be excited, never needs to be uncovered, and never needs to be experienced. This is the basic idea behind this approach to attempting to bring the outer world and the inner world into one and create the reality that we would prefer, rather than the reality that we see in our genetic structures and our heritage from our parents.

The group question for this session was: “The question today has to do with the concept of how we create our experience, our reality, by the way we think, by the way we believe. We would like for Q’uo to give us any indication as to whether that might be correct and if it is, how does that work? We would like to have more information on how we can create a more harmonious reality.” Q’uo began their response by saying that in the third density we live in two worlds: our inner reality and our outer reality, and our inner reality of spiritual seeking influences our outer reality by sharing our hearts in any situation. Q’uo went on to say that the nature of our being has many levels of reality that includes our group oversoul and also: “larger entities are part of even larger entities until you get to the level of planets and sun bodies and the kind of entities that have many orders of magnitude beyond the one that you now experience.” Q’uo continued by saying that all of these levels of our reality are both reality and an illusion which cannot be controlled, and they include the full range of harmonious to unfortunate experiences. Q’uo said that we try to control our environment to create a safe space, and then they began discussing a film that Carla had seen that said that the genetic structure of our body doesn’t have to manifest because it has a cover over it made of proteins that can be triggered by electrical impulses to activate the genetic structure or to leave it covered and inactive. Q’uo went on by saying that we have the ability to provide the electrical impulses to keep our family’s genetic likelihood of getting cancer from being activated by keeping that gene covered and cancer never needs to be experienced, and: “the basic idea behind this approach to attempting to bring the outer world and the inner world into one and create the reality that we would prefer, rather than the reality that we see in our genetic structures and our heritage from our parents.” On May 6, 2007, Q’uo spoke of how we may create our reality:

You are a part of something that is in exquisite balance. You are in touch with the spirit world and the highest energies, and at the same time you are in touch with the Earth and its heaviest energies. You know of everything from angels and cherubim to the degradation of war, murder, torture, and the evil that entities can do to each other. And your gaze is that gaze which orders things in your world. So, perhaps we would say that your most creative means of control is to create the world that you would like to see and live it. For you truly are a co-creator, and you truly can create the reality that you wish to see.

This is the sense of this video tape that the instrument was talking about earlier. This is sound in terms of your own world’s science. It is also sound in terms of what we believe to be so. It is very difficult for us to get into the real nitty-gritty of how you can talk to yourself as opposed to how someone else will talk to himself or herself. Each person has habits of mind which are not, shall we say, of the most hopeful or positive point of view. And with each person there are different areas. These areas are very quirky, as this instrument would say. It is very much a matter of the day, the hour, the mood, and the catalyst within the life in any one day as to what areas of the thinking that you do in talking to yourself you get into, what mistakes that you make in that particular day. And are they mistakes, indeed? For if you are telling yourself something that is disempowering, like “I don’t think that I can do this job,” perhaps you are telling yourself that so that you can stop and take a good look at the job and really ask yourself, “Is this the job I want to do?” Or with a relationship to ask yourself, “Is this the footing on which I want to be, or is there another footing that would not only be more skillful but actually make me a happier camper, a happier person, a more efficacious human being,” one that is more capable of learning, loving, serving, and all of those things that you hope to do?“ So I suppose that what we are saying is that it is true beyond our ability to prove it that what you think to yourself, what you say to those about you, has, to the extent that you believe what you are saying, or that you do not believe to the contrary, a power over your future.

The question of time is most confusing, but is very relevant to this discussion because it is the nature of how time flows that is critical to the grasping of how it is possible for something as invisible as thought to affect physicality. So, our first statement is simply that you may take it on faith, if you have faith, that this is so and work with a will to discovering how to talk to yourself and how to talk to those about you in order to express what you most truly think is true, what you most deeply feel to be the case. Consequently, we are not suggesting that it is possible to look at a situation where a house is on fire and say that this is perfect. This will not stop the house from burning down. We will agree completely that thought concerning a seemingly unfortunate situation will not change the structure of that situation, at least not in the physical.

However, think about the last time that you heard of someone who came through a fire. What were they saying? They were probably saying, “Thank God that my wife and children are safe. All we lost was the house.” Somehow it is the function of bad fortune not to create tragedy in people’s lives but to open possibilities for thankfulness and for positive change. It might be a terrible opportunity for positive change to see one’s house burn up or to see other disasters strike. Yet at the same time, with the gift of hindsight one is able to look back on such passages through difficulty, and one is able to pinpoint the real quality and appreciated nuances of that experience that seemed in the present moment to be a dreadful thing but seen from the future looking backwards becoming almost the opposite: almost a boon, almost a point of fortune because of the learnings and the maturity that were gained during the experience.

So, when faced with something that you perceive to be a difficulty, we are not suggesting that you put on rose-colored glasses and say that the difficulty is not a difficulty. Rather, what we encourage is that thoughtful approach that is willing to accept the two-natured quality of all apparent experience. There is an outer quality to the experience, and that is what you are seeing, feeling, tasting, touching, sensing in that way. There is also an inner quality to this experience. This inner quality is a very subtle thing and not a simple one. It is made up of the way you are at the moment on the surface, on the surface personality level, plus those deeper levels of the self where you have let some sunlight into deeper parts of the self where you are aware of some of your geographies of mood and emotion that have created themselves into structures in your inner life. You might be in that inner structure where you are comfortable, and you are in a role that you might enjoy. You may be in a structure where you do not have everything explored yet. You are still the seeker, the discoverer of the self. You may be at that level where much is unknown and where you may feel relatively uncomfortable. Yet you feel that you are in a very true part of the self. It is just one which you have not become fully acquainted with yet.

And these structures of familiar roles and unfamiliar roles, old things and new things, create a kind of three-dimensionality to the inner life that is almost impossible to put into words, but we feel that you grasp what we are trying to say, that there is in the self that comes to the moment a great deal more than what meets the eye, not just the personality meeting the day, but the personality at a certain point in a very long journey, with a lot of energy behind that journey and a lot of energy in front of that journey. And you’re just picking a point in the illusion to come into awareness and have this lifetime and have these experiences. And so, you are just sort of sticking up into the outer reality with this physical vehicle, and this personality shell, and this enormous weight of many, many lifetimes, many, many experiences and many desires fulfilled and yet unfulfilled. This is each seeker’s situation as the awakening occurs. Again and again, there is the awareness that the situation is far more than a simple present moment, and that the full reaction to that present moment is coming from places near and far within the self so that the self that meets the moment is always a unique individual, unique to that day, that time, that mood, that catalyst.

We do not see time as you see time. We see time in more of a circle. We see your experiences as circles within that circle, and we see all of it with much more capacity to allow for the complexity of the true situation without needing to define it. Consequently, we find it much easier to have, shall we say, a pleasant existence. We are not in that dense physicality that blocks much of the vision that you have in an inner sense. It blocks it specifically because you are supposed to be thrown off balance and disturbed by the illusion. You are supposed to become involved, and lose your objectivity and make mistakes, and when you do that, you feel that you have failed, and at the same time you are fulfilling each desire of your heart, just not in the order and with the comfort that you had perhaps intended. Yet all of these things that seem to crop up in the present are a mixture of those things that happen in the outer world without any rhyme or reason: the weather, the car breaking, and so forth, and those things that happen for a great many inner reasons that create situations where it will be a totally different experience if there is poor weather or if the car breaks because of the richness of your inner experience and the way that it has delivered you to the present moment.

Then Q’uo said that the way that we talk to ourselves varies greatly from time to time, and what we think to ourself and what we say to those about us has power over our future depending on what we do or do not believe what we are saying Q’uo went on to say that their first statement was that we can be assured that the nature of how time flows is important to understanding how it is possible for our thoughts to affect what we think is true, so we can work with our will to discover how to talk to ourself and how we can talk to those about us in order for us to express what we think is true. Q’uo continued by saying that as we look back upon a difficult situation, we can determine its real quality and appreciate the nature of the experience that seemed to be a dreadful thing, but when we see it from the future and look back at it, it seems the opposite, like an experience of good fortune because of what we learned during the experience.  Then Q’uo said that when we perceive a difficult situation that there is an outer quality that we can perceive with our five senses, and there is also an inner quality that is very subtle and is created by how we are on the surface of the moment, on our surface personality, plus those deeper levels of our self where we have allowed some light in, so we are aware of the nature of our emotions that have created themselves into the structures in our inner life. Q’uo said that in the present moment there is more than meets our eyes that is our personality on a long journey with many experiences behind and in front of that journey, and we are just picking a point in time within the illusion to come into an awareness of this lifetime and have these experiences, so we are sticking up into the outer reality with our physical vehicle, and our personality shell so that this weight of many lifetimes, experiences, and desires are both fulfilled and yet unfulfilled and are our situation as we awaken as unique seekers of truth. Now Q’uo said that we don’t see our experiences clearly in this illusion because we are supposed to be thrown off balance by the illusion and make mistakes, and when we do that, we feel that we have failed, and at the same time we are fulfilling each desire of our heart, just not in the way in which we had intended to. Q’uo said that in the outer world things happen to us without any rhyme or reason, but when things happen to us for inner reasons that it will be a totally different experience for us because of the richness of our inner experience and the way that it has delivered us to the present moment. On January 14, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the present moment:

When we say open to the present moment, we speak of that present moment which is eternal. Within time the attempt to grasp the present moment is constantly doomed to failure for your mind—that is, your earthly intelligence—and the illusion itself were created so that things would occur in an order. In the eternal present moment, all things exist simultaneously. That which is, is, and in this fullness of being resides the peace that is so eagerly sought by those who are weary of the passing scene.

How can one find this present moment? We suggest often the practice of regular contemplation or meditation, for within silence there is that key which unlocks the doors of attention. And into that sanctum sanctorum of the open heart, silent and listening, there resides the Creator whose name is Love.

Now, in this present moment you are sowing the seeds of a future, and this is where it gets interesting from our point of view because of the fact that this is what so many of those who have awakened have come here specifically to do at this time, and that is to make a difference in the future of your planet in the short run. And the difference has to do with how each individual seeker sees the present and sees the future. And here is where self-fulfilling prophecy comes into play. It is easy enough to see that if this entity named Carla can smile when she is in pain, she affects the lives of those around her to the point where, as they did before this meditation they asked this instrument, “How is it that you can feel pain and not react?” To this instrument it was not a question easily answered because as far as this instrument knew she was reacting to pain. She simply was apparently better than she thought at keeping it to herself.

This is true of each of you. Each of you has these areas that other people think “Oh, that person is doing very well.” But to you, yourself, you are aware of the gap between that which was hoped for and that which was achieved in terms of the quality of the personal response of that moment, the quality of the response of the heart, to consciousness itself. But we say to you that each of you is a tremendously powerful fulcrum, and the present is the pivot, and what you do in this present moment with regards to your belief about the future of humankind will redound either to the safe birthing of planet Earth into fourth density positive with all of the inhabitants of the planet more or less kept safe, or it will redound to a global catastrophe where all of the magnetic fluxes which are presently unstable will become stabilized. Either future is at this time, as far as we can see, entirely possible. The future is in the hands of you and you, and you, each of you. And it is within the belief system of each of you.

Think how one person who chooses to bring faith into the present moment, to bring the love of the heart into the present moment, affects that present moment and affects the mood of those about that person that is expressing love and light. Think about those moments in your own life when you have found that moment of grace and won through to a good attitude and how empowered you did feel and how it did change the outward reality simply because you had risen to the occasion with a happy heart. Think of how you have blighted your own life in times when you have taken the negative view and talked yourself deeper and deeper into sadness, and sorrow, and despair.

It is not always possible to create the future in big, bold strokes. It is not always possible to express in a day, in a week, in a month, or in a year the beauty that you are capable of appreciating in even one moment. It seems on a thousand different levels that the treasure of life and its beauty were falling away far quicker than life’s difficulties and travails. And we suggest that for the faithful one the path lies in continuing to play the hand that you were dealt, to enjoy the weather that the day holds, to deal with those chores that seem to need to be dealt with as best you can. And retain, insofar as you can, beyond all of those things a remembrance that has nothing to do with what has happened, a remembrance that is stubborn against seeming reality, a remembrance of an internal reality that, to you, overmatches the pale colors of the physical world. And that is that inner world of your own heart, your own soul, your own spirit.

When you are quiet in those moments that come to be so treasured when they do come you feel the truth of the self, the beauty of your sweetheart, the strength of your soul, and the power that is within you. Rest insofar as you can in the memory of those moments when you did feel connected to the Creator, when you did feel that you were part of the Love that is all that there is, when you had the connections that made you unified, positive and hopeful.

A life in faith is not a life in which the faith is always expressed. Rather, it is a life that is full of mistakes that, when self-perceived, are addressed with the best that the self has to address those perceived mistakes. If you have the willingness to retain that sense of self when everything else goes wrong, and to win through after all the difficulties and emotions have been expressed to the remembrance of that self, then you will be living a good spiritual life. For it is not living smoothly and wisely and all things being even that is the hallmark of the rich spiritual life but, rather, it is that often challenged self, that self that is held accountable after being comforted and comforted after being held accountable. That is where the skill lies: in not giving up upon the self, and not giving up because of perceived failure, but rather in seeing that one cannot see at all times into the pattern that lies beneath the seeming chaos of the day. That remembrance is enough to keep you faithful or faith-filled with regards to the future. It is as though that remembrance of the self beyond all of the mental and emotional patterns, the remembrance of that spiritual self, the remembrance of those times of connection with the Creator, enables the self to pick itself up, brush itself off, and try again. And there is that skill with which the future will become a positive and ever more shining thing, that bare remembrance of who you are and what the process is all about. It is not about creating beautiful moments, although it is wonderful to create beautiful moments. It is about being real, as real as the self can be, and that will often lead one astray, that will often lead one to errors in judgment, self-perceived by the self, to wrong decisions, self-perceived by the self.

Now Q’uo said that in the present moment we are here to sow the seeds for the betterment of our planet in the future in the short run, and this period of time can be seen differently by each of us. Q’uo went on to say that each of us is a powerful support, and what we do in this present moment regarding our belief about the future of humanity will result either in the birth of the Earth into the positive fourth density with the population of the planet safe, or it will result in global catastrophe with the magnetic influxes which are now unstable becoming stabilized, and either future is in our hands. Q’uo continued by saying that when we bring our faith and the love of our hearts into the present moment, we can positively affect those around us, and when we have driven ourselves into despair, we have also affected others negatively. Then Q’uo said that it may seem on every level that the treasures of our life and its beauty are falling away more quickly than our life’s difficulties, so they suggested that we continue to play the hand that we were dealt and deal with our catalyst in the best way that we can, and remember that our internal reality overpowers the pale colors of the physical world which is our inner world of our heart, our soul, and our spirit. Q’uo suggested that we remember those moments when we felt connected to the Creator, and the Love of all that there is, that made us feel unified, positive, and hopeful. Q’uo said that it is not when all things are going well for us that is the hallmark of the rich spiritual life, but our skill lies: “in not giving up upon the self, and not giving up because of perceived failure, but rather in seeing that one cannot see at all times into the pattern that lies beneath the seeming chaos of the day. That remembrance is enough to keep you faithful or faith-filled with regards to the future. It is as though that remembrance of the self beyond all of the mental and emotional patterns, the remembrance of that spiritual self, the remembrance of those times of connection with the Creator, enables the self to pick itself up, brush itself off, and try again.” On February 7, 1999, Q’uo described our spiritual self:

Firstly, we would suggest that each awakened soul choose for the self that rule of life which most nurtures the spiritual child within, that child that dwells in the heart and can become mature only as the outer self makes room and time for it. Time spent in silence, whether formal meditation is offered or whether it is simply sitting, greatly aids the spiritual self within. Further, it helps to align the seeker with her personal destiny, for each has come with gifts to share, lessons to learn, and service to offer. Each has planned for the self companions along the way and good work to do, and each has hoped that within the veiled conditions of the physical illusion that constitutes consensus reality upon your planet that the awakening would occur, and the choices would begin to be made which would more and more allow the spiritual self within to mature.

Meditation is not the only technique or method whereby one may encourage one’s own spiritual evolution. Certainly, the attempts to offer service to others always creates a more spacious environment for the spiritual self to grow in. Certainly, reading and listening to inspired and inspirational material is helpful. More helpful, however, than any of these practices is the persistent focus upon the mental and emotional awareness of the nature of the self within incarnation upon planet Earth.

The more the thought is taken, the more the mentality is invoked to rationalize and to analyze, the less the self will be able to connect with those deeper strata of internal structures which actually are slowing up the deeper patterns of life in your incarnation in terms of the large strokes of life: the relationships, the jobs, the situations that are seen to continue from year to year and constitute continuing lessons for the self.

You are not a solid. You are a vibration. You are an energy field that has connections to absolutely all other energy fields in the universe. You are connected to them through a series of orders of magnitude and, shall we say, reality, that are understandable only from the larger viewpoint. Many times within the life experience you will not be able to see how a certain situation could possibly be one in which love abides. But this is always the question to turn to, that one offered by the ones of Ra, “Where is the love in this moment?” This is a question that is always productive, that one may ask the self in a crux in the present. And by finding where the love lies for you in this moment and placing yourself there, there is how you affect the future. You are choosing what you desire because you desire it. That is understood, but in terms of responding to that which is given you have the skill, and you have the chance at each offering to ask the self, “Where is the metaphysical structure of this moment? What speaks to me from a larger point of view that really informs the situation for me?”

The one known as R suggested the fear contracting around the vehicle breaking down and needing to be fixed even though the financial situation was no longer so tight that this constituted an actual emergency, yet still even though money could now be spent on the car and it simply needed to be fixed there is the contraction around the event simply because of old impulses, old emotions have set a pattern of belief. Now, you may continue having that pattern and fearing and being glad when a repair is accomplished, or one can take the opportunity as the one known as R has done to ask the self, “Is this actually the best pattern for me to go through this experience holding, or should I perhaps hold a different pattern since my illusion has actually changed?” Naturally, we agree. We would suggest that the one known as R create a new pattern, one that makes this entity comfortable with having to deal with the necessary maintenance of all that is physical, for those things which are within your illusion have as their heart mortality, though it is known beforehand that all machines and engines will not work and they will have to be repaired. This is the inevitable price of being in the illusion at all. Your time is limited, and the time for you to think about what you truly desire for the future is limited. This is indeed the hour when all entities who wish to serve the Light can feel assured that their service will count. Each of you is here upon Earth, as are we, within the influence of your Earth’s inner planes, because of the exciting and interesting times in which you live. Each is aware of the powerful wind of change. Each is aware of the potential of the future for good or for ill. How shall you react to this present moment? How shall your beliefs create your future?

We assure you that you each have a great deal of power. And it is a power that is precious. For many, many upon planet Earth at this time this is a crowning incarnation. This is the end of a pattern or the potential end of a pattern and the beginning of new patterns. It is a very exciting time. It is a difficult time. Each of you has, shall we say, sacrificed a great deal to be upon Earth at this time to do what you could to serve the Light. So, we just encourage you to take heart. You are on course. Those efforts that you sense will be helpful are those efforts that you should focus on, opening the mind always for new ways, but trusting in your own inner feelings and hunches, those intuitions that tell you that, “Yes, this is where I should be, and this is what I should be doing. All is well.”

You truly do hold a world in your mind. May you birth within your own mind that sense of self that is at peace with what is and that seeks only the presence of the one infinite Creator and the witness to that infinite Creator— to yourself, and to the world about you, as you are given the Light so to act. Each of you has much to give. Each of you has inspiration to share, some in one way, some in another. Some by pounding nails. Some by walking streets. Some by what they say. Some by what they do to serve. Everyone is a part of an incredibly rich pattern in which you are involved in all of humankind, and all of the life within your density and within all the densities of this creation and of all creations beyond. Allow yourself to rest in the oneness of all that is. Allow yourself respite and comfort and yet at the same time ask of yourself always to be responsible when you have the Light to see that responsibility. And notice simply the responsibility to be who you are and to be true.

Q’uo said that the more that we use rational analysis the less we will be able to connect with those deeper levels of our internal structures which are hindering the deeper patterns of life in our incarnation in terms of our relationships and situations that continue from year to year to provide lessons for us. Q’uo went on to say that we are an energy field that is connected to all of the other energy fields in the universe, and many times within our life we will not be able to see how a certain situation could be one in which love abides, so we need to ask, “Where is the love in this moment?”, and when we find where love is in this moment, we can place ourself there and positively affect the future. Q’uo continued by saying that when the pattern of a situation that we have been concerned about changes, our old behaviors of how we handled the situation should be changed as well because time is limited, and we need to think about our true desires because this is the hour that if we wish to serve the Light, we can be assured that our service will count as we are aware that we live in powerful times of change, and we need to determine how we will use our beliefs to create our future. Then Q’uo said that we have sacrificed a great deal to live upon Earth at this time in order to serve the Light, so they encouraged us to feel certain that we are on course, and we should trust our intuition to tell us that, “Yes, this is where I should be, and this is what I should be doing. All is well.” Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we contain the world within our mind, and we may give birth within our own mind to the sense of ourself that is at peace with what is; that we continue to seek the presence of the one infinite Creator; that we give witness to the infinite Creator, to ourself, and to the world about us as we are given the Light so to act, and we should give ourself comfort and be responsible when we have the Light to see that responsibility to be who we are. On December 17, 1995, Q’uo defined who we are:

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

We would exercise the one known as Jim and would leave this instrument in love and in light, with thanks to this instrument. We are those of Q’uo. We transfer at this time.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further queries which may yet remain upon the minds of those present. Is there another query at this time?

S: I am just kind of curious as to where Q’uo spent its third-density experience. What can you tell us about it?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. As you may be aware we of the principle of Q’uo are a principle because we are of more than one source or origin. Those of Latwii, who are of the density of Light, have joined with those of Hatonn, of the density of Love, and also have joined with those of Ra, of the density of Unity. Those of Ra, as you are aware, experienced their third density upon the planet which you call Venus and were honored to have a most efficient experience within the third density of Venus. The many entities which formed the eventual social memory complex of Venus had a most harmonious third density upon that planetary sphere and moved quickly, shall we say, through that experience with a significant portion achieving graduation within the first cycle of 25,000 years, a larger portion achieving graduation during the second cycle, and the third cycle saw the joining of the social memory complex by all of the population of that sphere. [Actually, Ra’s group contained only 6.5 million souls out of a total of 38 million souls on Venus who were able to graduate to the fourth density with the remainder of their population moving to other third-density planets to try to make the graduation again. Ra 89.28] Those of Hatonn and those of Latwii had somewhat similar third-density experiences upon planets which are distant from this solar system and which are as yet undiscovered by your astronomers. Thus, the name or place of such is meaningless, yet each social memory complex has found the third-density experience to be that which has produced the tempering of seeking, and the fire of the testing was intense and true. And we have been privileged to become that which you call Q’uo for the purpose of these transmissions at this time. Is there another question, my brother?

S: With all of these different originating points how did you meet or come together to become a principle?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. As a planetary population moves from the third density, the density of choice, into the density of compassion, Love, and understanding there is at that time the obvious blending of each individual within the social memory complex. And this blending is assisted by those, what you would call, angelic presences or teachers and guides which represent the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the one infinite Creator. This confederation, then, when there is the opportunity to offer membership, shall we say, to a new social memory complex does so by sending emissaries of Light to acquaint the potential members with the opportunity to expand their service to others and to the one Creator by becoming a part of this confederation of planets. And in this confederation there is the opportunity to blend energies, efforts, and services with many other social memory complexes. The formation of the principle which you call Q’uo has been an effort to maintain contact with this group by those who have previously served this group in a particular fashion. Those of Hatonn have offered introductory messages for many years through this group and through many others as well upon this planetary sphere. This is true also for those of Latwii although to a lesser degree for those of Latwii are more, shall we say, silent in that they serve as what you would call Comforter for many individual seekers upon this planetary sphere and others as well. Those of Ra have had contact with this group in previous times and were desirous of maintaining a contact, however stepped down it was necessary to be so that there could be the continuing of the service which was begun more than two of your decades ago.

Is there another query, my brother?

S: When do you perceive that conditions would be right for making a more direct contact? Any time soon?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. And we do not see any more direct contact with the population of this planet or any portion of it than that contact which we are now honored to pursue. Is there another query, my brother?

S: Not right now. Not from me. Thanks.

I am Q’uo. Is there another query at this time?

S: Maybe I lied. Maybe I have one more. My understanding is that Venus is not indigenous to this solar system. My understanding is that it is from 19 light years away. Was Ra’s experience before or after Venus became a wandering planet?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. We are aware that there are many theories as to the origin of each of the planetary spheres in this solar system. There are many who seek to be of service by giving information of one kind or another. The transmission in many cases has been tenuous and occasionally misinterpreted. We are not aware of the planetary sphere which you call Venus having been of any other origin than the solar system in which it now moves and has its being. Is there another query, my brother?

S: No. Just curious. Information from another channel that I was curious about. Thanks.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you again, my brother. We do appreciate each query which this group offers to us at these circles of seeking, for we are aware that each entity does have within it the great desire to pursue those areas of mystery and the unknown, for both within and without each seeker there is an abundance of mystery. It is the purpose and the focus of the mind to seek those answers to queries which the heart asks. However, there are often more opportunities when both mind and heart are opened in harmony. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. At this time we would take our leave of this instrument and this group. We leave each in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I cleaned the sinks and shower wall in my bathroom, and then I vacuumed the first floor of my home.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at the Post Office to buy a special stamp to put on a letter that I was sending to Germany. My next stop was at the vet’s to pick up some meds for Bosco. My last stop was at Feeder’s Supply to buy some bird seed and some food for Bosco.

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

January 3

A Day Of Forgiveness

I am of the principle of the consciousness of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in whole and divine Love. The Master calls each to a day of forgiveness.

Let this be such a day.

During this day, note each to whom your heart has become hard, that you may take this opportunity to call and pray for grace; that you may know how to forgive; that you may learn the gentility, the transformation, and the peace of forgiving.

For what is there to forgive between children in the same family? Do not all families learn from rubbing against each other, perhaps even causing friction but always working as a family? Such is your condition as a soul in the creation in which all of consciousness are children of one Father.

Let this day be your day of forgiveness of others, of yourself, and of your Father. Many things are beyond understanding. But the Love and the peace of forgiveness are food for the heart and drink for eternity.

We leave you in forgiveness, peace and divine Love, this day 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 January 6, 2002:

For the group question today we are going to take potluck and see what Q’uo might have to say to us.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of the Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose service we are. We thank you for forming a circle on this day of winter. The snow and the difficult roads have kept many of your friends from their activities. We celebrate your faithfulness to these precious times together, and we are most grateful to you for seeking the truth as a group this afternoon.

It is the first time in a long while . . . we do not immediately remember the last time that we had a potluck, and that is a novel thing for us. For we then need to use our own discrimination to the extent which you usually take off our hands. What would we wish to tell you? What would we wish to offer you? Left to ourselves we speak one tune. We tell one story. We tell of Love. And yet we find that even within this small a group of three we would be able to rest within each of your minds to discover the genius that lies in the connections between those minds and to find a completely unique subject at any time that you would ask for potluck. For the energy between even any two people, much less any three people, is a complex and multi-layered thing. The connections are there in so many ways that are difficult to understand in any linear fashion. Each of you is connected to each other by those things which you are working on in common, by those services which you share in common, by the outer gifts which you enjoy in common, and by the desires that resonate between each of you in common.

So that even among those whose path is fairly calm and whose seeking has become silent and only occasionally moving into the new book, the new tape, the new buzz, the new news. Each of you creates constantly the future forks in the road for yourself, those future choices of pathway. It is not only that you are choosing the road that you are on when you come to the moment and gaze at it, for indeed you choose not only the road that you are on in the present but turnings from that road that are implied in the depths of your seeking, in the quality of your attention, and in the sincerity of your humility at asking and knowing that you know not and that you truly wish to know. This desire is not a permanent or a fixed thing in anyone. Rather, it is that commitment that is revisited perhaps each day but certainly from time to time.

So, rather than your life being a clarion call that once begun simply continues speaking we suggest that each of you has a voice, has an energy, has the potential to sing a certain beautiful and complex melody, but each of you, indeed, in the present moment is a sonata under construction, a musical piece that has not yet been finished. And so there is the rehearsal and the playing over of the tunes of self, those leitmotifs of being.

The one known as T said earlier that there was that in him that greatly missed the opportunity last week to come together in seeking in silence and in truth. And we would address this line of thought because there is a very valuable point to be made here, not simply for this group, but in terms of all groups that are seeking to increase the Light upon planet Earth. It is very well to establish a group. It is very well to begin a practice of spiritual seeking. It is excellent to form a plan for seeking the truth, for finding the self, or for discovering one’s service. All of these avenues are worthy. They all lie before each of you. When you come together as a group in a regular and persistent fashion these threads begin to weave themselves without your conscious awareness into a far more coherent and lambent pattern, banked and steeped in Light because of the energy of those companions of the path that have entered the silence together over a period of time.

There was no group question for this session, so the group decided to take potluck and see what Q’uo had to say to them. Q’uo began by saying that their message is always about some facet of Love, and for this session they could speak about the connections between each of the three seekers in today’s group in relation to the services and the outer gifts that they shared in common, and by the desires that resonated between each of them. Q’uo went on to say that each day we travel our spiritual path in a way that can occasionally turn in a different direction according to the depths of our seeking, by knowing that we don’t know, and that we truly wish to know. They said that this desire is not a permanent thing in anyone, and it is a commitment that we revisit from time to time. Q’uo continued by saying that we are like a song with many verses yet to be sung, and it is very helpful if we join together in groups to share our spiritual paths and increase the Light upon the Earth by seeking the truth, finding our true nature, and discovering our services. Q’uo said that these energies will begin to form into a clearer pattern as we continue to meditate together over a period of time. On September 19, 2004, Q’uo said that using our catalyst was a way that we could increase the Light:

One quick way to determine where you are as a person with respect to the catalyst of the day, is to evaluate your emotional set. Has it generated heat, or has it generated Light? Have the emotions of the self been fiery and bright and sharp? Or has it been that emotional set which is as the diamond in taking the incoming catalyst and being with it in such a way that Light is refracted through you from the catalyst to express Light, color, beauty and those ineffable qualities that are part of a system of color and Light. As the one known as T was saying earlier, the effort that this entity is making at this time is to decrease that heat and to increase the Light that is produced in the soul’s response to catalyst. When the self experiences heat, that in and of itself may be a good marker for activating that alarm clock that says, “There is work that I need to do on who I am and why I am here.”

Opening to the silence in a group over a twenty year period that these particular three entities have enjoyed together is opening a very small social memory complex between the three seated within this circle plus the social memory complex existing betwixt each of the two in this group which have a close bonding, plus the social memory complex that exists within fourth density, that one which exists within fifth, and that one which exists within sixth density and which forms the principle which is our voice. Consequently, rather than bringing one entity into the silence, by meeting in a group over a period of time you are beginning to weave for yourself a solid and reliable resource which contains your energy spoken truly and reflected in the mirror of those who love you and those who would wish to help you.

Meeting in trust, coming together in humility and seeking, are motives and energies which ennoble and strengthen that within you which seeks so that you may have the grace to continue to seek. For, indeed, we do not advertise that there are easy answers. Indeed, we do not advertise answers. We urge the questioning. We encourage the hunger, and here we do not speak of intellectual hunger, although certainly that has its place, and books and ideas and all sorts of outer influences are intended to come in and to speak to you and to move you, but beyond all of these things it is the silence, it is the seeking beyond the question where the whole self becomes the question and the only answer desired is wrapped in silence and lifted on the wings of angels so that you, yourself, are wrapped in angels’ wings, those wings which bear one up when one knows nothing, those wings which hide one when the sunlight of pain is too bright, those wings that lift one up above the pettiness and the greed, the sloth, and the laziness of other human beings that come before your eyes, that lift one up beyond the secrets of the heart, that are not worthy, that are error-prone, that mark one as a human that are the hardest of all to lift beyond, to fly beyond, to release from the judgment of one’s self.

We are so pleased that you have sensed the power of simple, error-prone, third-density human beings in a group, dedicated to light, and love, and service. Is there within any of you some bright idea that will instantly change the planet? We do not know. We do not know where your outer gifts lie, where the footsteps of your heart will take you, not tomorrow, not even next year, not in the next decade. We don’t know the final shape of your life but only that there is this moment together in time and in space where these three have come together and sought in silence and in the spiritually lived voice which this instrument has asked for. That which you know not is a great treasure, a great resource within your practice, and we are very, very pleased that you feel its value whether or not it is possible to see into this depth or quality of value in a conscious manner. It is there, and on the incarnational level contracts are being fulfilled. Collaborations continue, and the work that is common to all moves on to a fuller life because each has persisted in good weather and in bad, in good feelings and in difficult times, through all of the thicks and thins of living.

This is a time when your planet roots deep and sleeps. This is a time when many little snows visit the Earth and sink into it very slowly, watering in a much more beneficial way than the dazzling flooding rains of spring. The ground is preparing for its growing season, feeding the deep springs. Slowly, so slowly the energies of the Light begin to strengthen as the day becomes minutes longer each day. Each within this group deals at this time with those difficulties which seem to smack of the cold and the ice of inconvenience, discomfort, and pain. Yet we say to you that within the warm nest of hearth, and home, and heart the balm of Gilead lies sleeping, waiting to be taken up and used, and all of the energies of healing, peace, and new life are upon the wind, harbingers of the spring and the blooming time to come. Know that all is well. Know that all seasons have their beauty, and rest in that faith and hope which inform your heart when it opens to the shining face of the one original Creator.

Then Q’uo said that over the twenty years that the three in this meditation group had shared a social memory complex between them, plus a social memory complex for Carla and me, and the the three social memory complexes of the principle of Q’uo, and together we were beginning to create a reliable resource which contained our energy that was reflected in the mirror of those who loved us and who wished to help us.  Q’uo continued by saying that when our group came together in humility and seeking that these energies ennobled that which was within us so that we might have the grace to continue to seek. Then Q’uo said that they encouraged our questioning rather than their advertising of answers, and beyond all of these things that it is the silence and the seeking beyond the question where our whole self becomes the question, and the only answer desired is wrapped in silence. Q’uo went on to say that it was within the silence where we seek beyond the question where our self becomes the question, and the only answer we desire is wrapped in silence so that we are wrapped in angels’ wings which bear us up when we know nothing, that lift us up beyond the secrets of our heart, that mark as a human which are the hardest of all to lift beyond, to fly beyond, to release from the judgment of our self. Now Q’uo said that they were pleased that we have become aware of the power of our being three simple, error-prone, human beings forming a group that is dedicated to light, love, and service, and they did not know what our gifts were or what the final shape of our lives would be but only that we have shared this moment in time and space and using the silence to travel the spiritual journey together. Q’uo said that which we know is not a great resource within our practice, and they were pleased that we felt its value because it was there, and within our incarnations our contracts were being fulfilled, and the work that is common to us all moves on to a fuller life because each has continued in good times and in bad times of living. Q’uo completed their response by using the analogy of the depths of winter that are preparing the ground for growth of plants with the increase of the Light of spring being reflected in each person in the group experiencing the cold and the ice of inconvenience, discomfort, and pain, but Q’uo said that: “within the warm nest of hearth, and home, and heart the balm of Gilead lies sleeping, waiting to be taken up and used, and all of the energies of healing, peace, and new life are upon the wind, harbingers of the spring and the blooming time to come. Know that all is well. Know that all seasons have their beauty, and rest in that faith and hope which inform your heart when it opens to the shining face of the one original Creator.” On February 4, 2001, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the balm of Gilead:

When you are lost, when you are suffering, when you are alone, remember and move into the heart, into the sanctuary and peace of the one Creator’s Love and dwell there as long as you need to, in order to feel that balm of Gilead which is that energy of being loved, being valued, and being understood. These things the Creator does. In fact, the Creator greatly values each and every thought that you have, for it is this way that the Creator learns about Itself.

We would, if the instrument known as Jim is willing, to exercise this instrument briefly as this is a good opportunity, since there is no message, to work with this instrument in a more general and creative way. If this instrument prefers, it is perfectly all right not to speak. We would at this time offer to transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo and leave this instrument in love and light.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each once again in love and in light through this instrument. We have at this time spoken about the process of evolution that each entity undergoes, both as an individual and as members of a group of individuals. The process of seeking the direction of one’s path is a process which is chosen not only upon the conscious level of each individual seeker but is a process which is, you might say, encoded into the very cells of your bodies. For all of life which has been created is made of the same Creator, and this Creator of us all seeks to know of Itself what can be known, and seeks as well to return to a state of being in which there is a complete stasis for but a short while in which the knowledge of being is fully assimilated. As this is a dynamic energy there is in fact no true stasis, for that which is garnered from knowledge is almost immediately put to use as a kind of fuel for the engine of beingness. There is always a use or burning of the fuel of knowledge which can be focused in an individualized sense so that there are infinite possibilities for those portions of the Creator which are able to individualize to do so. Thus, are each of you, and all of the sentient beings who are children of the one Creator, fitted with a kind of homing device. For the portions of the one Creator who wander far, it would seem, from unity are in fact voyaging into those areas of unity which are yet unknown or unexplored until some portion of the seeking Creator moves into these areas, much as the–we search this instrument’s mind–various expressions of biological life flourish in a pattern dance, growing ever more intricate patterns of life forms to once again express another facet of the one Creator being explored through free will.

We are those of Q’uo. We feel that we have taken this instrument far a field in this particular expression and would at this time ask if there might be any queries that we may attempt? Is there a query at this time?

Carla: I don’t have a question, but I would just like to ask that you be with Jim and me as we go through these two procedures in January and February. I would appreciate your help.

I am Q’uo, and we feel your desire for assistance, and this is of course an area in which we are most happy to join you in the healing efforts. For the energies which we have to offer are of a very basic level of vibration in accordance with the third-density requirements for expression. We are with you, my sister, and would be glad to join you in any meditative endeavors which would assist in the relaxation and healing process.

Is there any query at this time?

Carla: No. Thank you very much.

T: No. Not from me. Thanks.

I am Q’uo and we thank each once again for inviting our presence this day. Again, we would express our great joy at each opportunity to join this group in its seeking. At this time, we would take our leave of this instrument and of this group. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and used my backpack blower to blow the remaining leaves behind my home into a pile, and then I blew the leaves behind the garage into another pile. It took two garbage cans to hold the two piles of leaves.

This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop to get a haircut from a good friend of Carla’s and mine who owns a shop called Absolutely Nails. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply to buy some bird seed and some food for Bosco. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself.

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

January 2

The Joy In Labor

I am the Spirit of the full consciousness of Christ, the principle expressed by Jesus Christ. I greet you in the Love that creates, sustains, renews and transforms all of creation.

We see that your minds are much bent upon the prosecution of worldly duties. We suggest to you that all employment is gainful if it be centered on the Love of the Creator, expressed in any way whatsoever that seems most fitting to you.

However, there is no employment which is gainful if there is removed from the doer of such work the consciousness of the true motivation of all labor; that is, the glory, the worship, and the rejoicing in the presence and the power of the Love of Christ which lies behind and is the motivation for all labor.

There is no less joy in working over columns of figures or recalcitrant earth than there is in studying the most exalted thoughts and sayings, if both tasks be done in equal consciousness of the end of all labor. Be you, therefore, mindful, as you work and as you rest from work, that all things adumbrate to the glory of the Creator, or the hollow echo of your weary soul shall fail to satisfy, whatever your labor.

We leave you in the peace of the mind that dwells in Love, 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 December 23, 2001:

The question today comes from B and S. B was wondering if a social memory complex possesses a kind of consciousness that can engage in the exchange of energy with its members, either consciously or unconsciously, or if it is simply the sum of its members? We were assuming (in our conversation previous to this meditation) that a social memory complex could indeed engage in conversation of a very intimate and continuous nature with all of its members. If that is true, could you expand upon that, and could you let us know? And as S asks: As we are beginning to form a social memory complex, is there anything that we can do to prime the pump towards positivity in service-to-others acts, attitudes of mind, meditations, rituals, anything at all?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of the Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we are. It is a great privilege, as always, to speak to this group, and we thank you for forming a circle of seeking once again. It is a great blessing to us to share with your circle’s vibrations, and it is a great blessing to us to be able to serve by speaking our thoughts. We ask, as always, that your discrimination choose which of these thoughts you will retain, and which are not for you. We do not claim to be purveyors of truth. We claim only to share what we have concluded in our journey so far. But we are very happy to do so, and we do believe that it is a valid path of service.

The question this day is very apt for the time of year that this meeting is being held, for it is near Christmas, and all over your world, in every nation, many millions of hearts turn now at this season to thoughts of peace, love, and giving. The catalyst for this enormous peak in energy among the peoples of your planet is an outgrowth of the natural cycles of light and dark, fear and love. And, indeed, as was spoken of earlier, the Christian Christmas is a very old overlay to even older rituals from a previous time and a previous religion. It is a response of the heart of a society to the maximum amount of darkness and the minimum amount of light. It is a response to that which moves into the consciousness at such a deep level that there is no true defense against it. The lack of light creates a mood, and the tendency of that mood is towards poignancy and intensity and what this instrument would call negative thought patterns for the simple reason that life within third density is often, among other things, an accumulation of moments of pain that certain occasions seem to bring closer to the surface of memory.

However, this energy of Christmas has never been expressed in precisely the way that the one known as Jesus the Christ expressed it. And the way this entity expressed it has to do with this question about the formation of a social memory complex. Now, this entity who in his native tongue is called Jehoshua but whom we will call Jesus, because of this instrument’s distortions and the distortions of the culture in which all of you live, was, in his own way, a politician. But he was a politician who was running for office in another world. As he said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” This entity identified his kingdom as the kingdom of heaven. We feel that there has been a tremendous amount of distortion of this entity’s message. However, there is enough in what is left of what he actually said to begin to form an idea of what it takes to form a social memory complex.

When one gazes, for instance, at what this instrument calls the Beatitudes, it is interesting to note who is blessed. Blessed are the poor. Blessed are the meek. Blessed are the hungry. Blessed are those who suffer for righteousness sake. Blessed is adversity. Blessed is the enemy. Blessed is he who despitefully uses you. In other words, no matter what you do you will be blessed. When this entity was on the cross dying painfully a thief asked Him if He would remember him when He came into His kingdom. And the one known as Jesus said to him, “This day you will be with me in paradise.”

Jesus was not a foolish man. He did not feel that all things were good. He felt that some things were sinful. However, he took it to a higher level in each and every case and said, “The past is past. Make a new beginning and you are completely and utterly forgiven.” Would that the voices that surrounded this entity had the same message. Much has been lost of the message because others immediately misunderstood it and felt, during the time that this entity was alive, that this entity should become a political figure and rule a country, a physical country, the country of the twelve tribes. This the one known as Jesus rejected out of hand. So if the one known as Jesus was offering information about the vibration of a social memory complex then the direction that the entities who wish to help form a social memory complex need to go is the direction of forgiveness and love. Forgiveness of enemies. Forgiveness of the self. And the willingness to make a new beginning. These seem finite qualities, but in the metaphysical world they are infinite. The freedom to expand and strengthen light is complete once the soul has pierced the veil of forgetting.

Now a very tiny example of a social memory complex would be the couple or the family which is extremely close, so that the entities have begun to tune into each other and eerily have begun to know what the other was going to say, what the other was sensing, how the mood of the other was going without having to speak. There is a growing awareness from the soul level when there is complete trust between two people. This is difficult to achieve. It takes time and it takes persistence on the part of two human beings who will systematically fail at everything that they try to do at one point or another, metaphysically speaking. Consequently, there is forgiveness built into trust so that when entities within a fellowship of complete trust misbehave they are allowed the room to do that. They are allowed the support to come out of that. They are allowed the chance to start anew. 

The group question for this session was: “We were assuming (in our conversation previous to this meditation) that a social memory complex could indeed engage in conversation of a very intimate and continuous nature with all of its members. If that is true, could you expand upon that, and could you let us know? And as S asks: As we are beginning to form a social memory complex, is there anything that we can do to prime the pump towards positivity in service-to-others acts, attitudes of mind, meditations, rituals, anything at all?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the question for this session was appropriate, for this Christmas time of year was a time when people around the world focused on the concepts of peace, love, and giving, and the catalyst for this was the natural cycles of light and dark when the lack of light creates an experience of negative thought patterns and an accumulation of moments of pain that certain occasions seem to bring closer to the surface of our memory because third density also has this same quality as the nature of our experience of living in the darkness of our conscious mind. Q’uo went on to say that the way Jesus expressed the energy of Christmas is related to the forming of a social complex when He said that His kingdom was not of this world. Then Q’uo continued by saying that Jesus gave us an idea of how a social memory complex might be formed by each of us being blessed no matter what we might do, and they gave the example of when the thief that was also upon a cross asked Him: “if He would remember him when He came into His kingdom. And the one known as Jesus said to him, “This day you will be with me in paradise.” Then Q’uo said that even though Jesus felt some behaviors were sinful that what is in the past is past, and all behaviors could be forgiven so that when entities wished to form a social memory complex the key was to forgive and love one another and the self, and then the freedom to expand and strengthen light would be complete once the soul had pierced the veil of forgetting. Q’uo gave an example of a couple being able to form a social memory complex after experiencing love and trust after a period of time of being together so that they were able know what each other was going to say or do, and even though they would fail many times there was enough trust and forgiveness that had been created in their relationship that they were free to begin again. On September 3, 2017, Q’uo spoke of how groups of people may form a social memory complex:

There is also the consideration within each group, of the so-called spiritual family, or minor grouping of entities within the larger group, that may wish to move as a group, as the individual may do; so that at this time, at the end of your master cycle of 75,000 years, there is much intermingling of entities from all of the various planetary sources of origin. When harvest has been achieved by any individual or spiritual family of individuals, that harvest, then, results in the moving forward of those individuals who have been able to polarize sufficiently in order to begin the fourth-density experience of forming a social memory complex with all other individuals, or minor groups, from any planet of origin.

These qualities of forgiveness, and forgetting, and moving on are sweet indeed, metaphysically speaking, because they free up the energy system, the energy body. The one known as T was asking about fear and whether that is an improvement upon anger which is an overlay of fear. And we would say that all overlays being taken away are improvements. The fear now is exposed because of the practice of the one known as T. He now is able to see and be aware of what that underlying emotion truly is, and indeed, no matter what the negatively oriented emotion, we assure you that it is a type of fear. Whether it is anger, grief or any other negatively perceived emotion, the dynamic is always between love and fear.

Now, how do entities in third density achieve such a heady and ambitious intention as forming a social memory complex beforehand, before its time? Almost anything that seekers can think of as ways to express their own individual desire and thirst for being part of the good and the Love of planet Earth will help. So much of spiritual evolution is involved in sheer desire and persistence of intention in following that desire. Desire is the fire that drives. It can be a fire that is red-ray, orange-ray, yellow, blue, indigo, or violet-ray. Each of those types of desires, each of those combinations of types of desires, has its own characteristics. And an entity, in order to progress, needs not to follow someone else’s idea of a curriculum or a study but, rather, each entity needs to follow his own heart, his own intuition, his own hunch of this or that book at the bookstore, this idea or that idea to think about.

Each of you already is part of a nascent social memory complex, but it is at a very low level at this time because it is not yet time. Priming the pump is a matter of desiring to prime the pump and desiring it just as much tomorrow and the next day and taking each moment of desire as it comes and asking, “Show me Thy ways. Teach me how to serve.” And surrendering that cleverness of wit in order to open to deeper guidance and to purer fire. For there is help for those who wish to rise. There is an enormous company, as this instrument has often said, of angels, beings that wish only to help entities to evolve and to cherish them while they do, to keep them in a metaphysical sense safe and comfortable. There are angels around each of you. They truly desire to be of service. When you sit in the silence, lean into that help and ask that invisible company to give you signs, give you ideas, help with the guidance, help with the clues, so that you can choose what feels the most resonant as your own path of service.

Theone known as Jesus tried to apply fourth-density ideas to third-density society. We grasp the fact that this has not been popular since, and we believe we grasp why, realizing as we do that the one known as Jesus was able to open his heart and trust in the infinity of supply. The closest that your peoples have come to the idea of Jesus, which was to hold everything in common, has been various socialistic and communistic societies in their theoretical form, where each entity is looked at as completely equal and equally deserving of the right to live and to have a place to be and food to eat. The ability of your culture at this time to tolerate the situation where many, many entities do not have enough to eat is, among many other things, acting as a, shall we say, drag on the planetary evolution. For it reflects a carelessness among its members and a lack of appreciation for the qualities that humanity offers long before it justifies itself by being useful.

We ask you to consider who you are. Your physical vehicle was created, according to the writer known as Sitchin and others, to be gold miners for extraterrestrials. Consequently, there are many among those who believe in extraterrestrials and believe in their interactions with those of Earth who believe that there is no resurrection possible because the physical vehicles are simply dust and were created only to be slaves. But we say to you that a physical vehicle is a physical vehicle. Yours, like most life forms in this universe, has been interfered with several times. But that has little or nothing to do with the consciousness that accepts the contract with the physical vehicle to have an incarnation together. Each of you is truly a citizen of eternity. It does not matter what the makeup of your body is, whether it was created by the God of the Bible in six days or whether it was created by extraterrestrials. The fact is that, within the illusion that you now experience, you are here. There is a little sign with an arrow that says, “You are here.” Whatever your age. Whatever your station. Whatever your challenges. That is the playground in which you are enjoying yourself at this time.

Then Q’uo said that forgiveness, forgetting, and moving on are metaphysically very helpful because they free up our energy body, and it doesn’t matter whether our feeling is anger, grief, or any other negatively perceived emotion, the dynamic is always between love and fear. Q’uo continued by saying that if we want to form a social memory complex that almost any of our individual desires and thirst for being part of the Love of planet Earth would be helpful because so much of our spiritual evolution is built upon our desire and our persistence of intention in following that desire according to our unique thoughts and intuition. Q’uo went on to say that each of us is part of a potential social memory complex whose time is not yet here, and that we can prime the pump of forming a social memory complex by desiring to do so each day, then surrendering to our inner guidance and angels in meditation, and then asking them for signs and directions to follow in order to form a social memory complex. Then Q’uo said that Jesus attempted to use the fourth-density idea of the common ownership of goods within the third density in order to form a social memory complex because He was able to open His heart and trust in the infinity of supply, but the inability of most of the population of Earth to see the needs of all being met by any level of organization is slowing the planetary evolution. Q’uo said that each of us is a citizen of eternity, and it does not matter whether our bodies were created by the God of the Bible or whether it was created by extraterrestrials because within the illusion that we experience now we are here, and whatever our age, challenges, or situation we are enjoying our life on Earth at this time. On November 1, 1998, Q’uo described what it means for us to be a citizen of eternity:

We give to this instrument the image of a traveler. The traveler moves across the desert landscape gazing intently, even feverishly, for a source of water. At the same time this entity is, metaphysically speaking, in a world made of water, that which this instrument refers to as water consciousness. As a citizen of eternity, one may consider oneself cast upon the shore of an inhospitable environment, the desert land which offers learning opportunity for service and challenges that teach and create the potential for transformation. When you feel that you are truly in the desert, that all is dry and lifeless and without hope, we encourage you to practice knowing by faith the watery environment of the human spirit, for that which seems upon the surface to be dry, and dusty, and difficult is, in metaphysical terms, wondrous, a treasure, that which is to be prized, a canvas upon which to paint a self in Love with the beauty and the majesty of the infinite Creator. When the mouth is parched for something to drink, when the stomach grumbles for food, remember that you are a citizen of eternity, and that you have meat and drink that the world does not know of. And allow the desert to become the ocean, life-giving and new with every tide.

While you are enjoying yourself on this playground it is very seductive to come to the belief that you are on a playground enjoying the games. It is, however, an helpful thought always to move beyond the playground, to move beyond the lights, the glitter, and the drama of people doing righteous and unrighteous things to each other. It is possible to move back into the heart of being that was before this world was and which will be when this world has finally become energy again. It is an uneasy union, body and consciousness, but it is precisely that union of flesh and Spirit that is needed for third density. The vehicles you have are sound for the work that you wish to do.

We encourage both an intensity of dedication and a very light touch with the seeking to accelerate the pace of evolution and to come into some expression of fourth density. Now, you may find as you continue seeking peace that ideas will come to you. We encourage you to respond to those ideas because each of you is a Creator. Perhaps you have a gift for becoming closer to another entity or to a new idea that no one else has. We assure you that each of you sings a different melody of vibration, so each of you has unique gifts to give. And those gifts are already held in common by the people of Earth. There is at this time a nascent fourth-density social memory complex of positive nature forming on planet Earth. It is occurring now.

Theone known as B is attempting to do this by starting a community. The one known as Carla, this instrument, in her own way has dedicated her life to bringing more light; to running fourth-density energy within a third-density system. This entity, unfortunately, has not done this entirely efficiently within her personal life. But in terms of metaphysical efficiency, both the one known as B and the one known as Carla have made good efforts. And it is the continuation of those efforts; that is, the continuation of faith, that will avail the most. For Love has a way of teaching you without being obvious about it, without the two-by-four having to hit the forehead. There is no wakeup, often, with the lessons of Love but, rather, you discover that your ideas have migrated a bit, that there is a different Light from which you are seeing the same thing. It may be slight, but it may well be more fourth-density if that is what you are affirming and seeking.

When you are expressing this nascent fourth-density energy you, if you are very aware, will feel it as an energy exchange even if the entity with whom you are communicating is half a globe away. There is an energy exchange between those who are vibrating together in Love with each other on the fourth-density level which is very heartening and very healing for both entities, and we encourage each to attempt in all relationships to move from a point of fourth-density Love, acceptance, forgiveness, and willingness to move on. That is the pattern of learning, not to linger too long in negative emotions but, rather, to honor that negative emotion whenever it arises, to sit with it as long as it needs to be sat with in order to be accepted, in order to feel that it has been honored. And then, when it has been honored and there has come a peace and a balance and some small understanding, it is time to say, “Amen. I am sorry. I begin again.” And let mistakes be mistakes, but stay in the Light and the Love of the one infinite Creator while you make the mistake, and, after you make the mistake, allow yourself your own love rather than your judgment. For judge and grasp the lesson you certainly will, but then it is time to release that.

The great obstacle to peace among your peoples is the same obstacle that is in a family when they will not agree, and they insist on leaving problems unaddressed and unsolved. The one known as Jim has said very truly many times that this world needs a great deal of Love. That is true at the individual level. It is also true at the societal level, at the racial level, and at the planetary level.

Now Q’uo said it is well for us to remember that our experience in the third density is an illusion and for us to move back into the heart of our being that is the Creator which was before this world was created and which will be when this world has become energy, and it is an uneasy union of our body and consciousness, but it is this union of flesh and Spirit that is needed for third density. Q’uo went on to say that each of us has gifts: And these gifts are already held in common by the people of Earth. There is at this time a nascent fourth-density social memory complex of positive nature forming on planet Earth. It is occurring now. Q’uo continued by saying that using our gifts in whatever way we choose to share them, and having faith that they will succeed, is the best choice to make because Love teaches us without our being aware of it, but eventually we will discover that our ideas have changed in some way, and there is a different Light in which we are seeing the same thing, but it may well be more fourth-density if that is what we are seeking. Then Q’uo said that when we are sharing fourth density vibrations with another person that this exchange of energy is healing and heartfelt for each of us, and whenever we can share the fourth-density Love, acceptance, and forgiveness with anyone that we should not stay within any negative emotion, but we should honor it whenever it arises and to sit with it for as long as is necessary to accept it and understand it, and then say that we are sorry. Q’uo said that we should: remain the Light and the Love of the one infinite Creator while you make the mistake, and, after you make the mistake, allow yourself your own love rather than your judgment. For judge and grasp the lesson you certainly will, but then it is time to release that.” On January 21, 2001, Q’uo spoke of our nature as being part of the heart of the Creator:

When one attempts to talk about Love, one ends up talking about qualities such as compassion, faith, hope, patience, and humor. But these are all as the rays of Light which come from the sun of Love, each a slightly different color, each a definable and recognizable quality but yet each a ray of Light from the heart of the Creator. And what the spiritual group does is to bring that sun a little closer to make it more possible to find a conscious, honest faith in the existence of this sun or source of Love and Light. It is a permeable cocoon, this cocoon that your experience of incarnation in flesh. Through your energy body there are tremendous numbers of entrances into finer densities. Through the gateway of intelligent infinity which is part of the energy body there is access to inspiration and realms of teachers and guides.

Does a social memory complex have its own ability to communicate? Certainly. Even within a marriage there is a social memory complex. Within this group, which today represents only four human beings (physically present), there is a strong and healthy social memory complex that is helping each. It is not that each has become wonderfully able in the human sense to comfort and support each other but that the wish to do so is pure within these four hearts sitting within this room. And within this atmosphere, since all things truly are one, naturally over a period of time there is formed not just these four souls into a union but these four souls and the Creator so that the Creator and the self multiplies with the Creator and the next self and the Creator in the third self and the Creator in the fourth self, and the result is powerful, far beyond the sum of its parts. There is a feedback system that begins to work when entities meet spiritually and attempt to love each other, even when they misbehave, even when they have difficult times.

Many, many opportunities will come to each of you in small ways and in large. Opportunities to see an entity as the self or the other self. We do not say to ignore the needs of the physical life. We do not say that it is wrong to set limits when there are difficulties, to protect the self from damage. You are third-density entities, and you need to respond to the pain and the suffering that you feel. If you do not respond to it, if you insist on being all Love and Light at all times and not dealing with your feelings, not dealing with your dark side, you shall never make a social memory complex.

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.

The one known as Jesus would laugh long and hard at someone who said that He was a saint, or that He was holy, or that He was better than the next sinner. This entity did not feel those things. This entity was seeking to become more meek, more poor, more hungry, and to achieve more suffering. Why was this entity doing this? This is the mystery of moving from third density to fourth density. Why did this entity find such joy in turning the other cheek? And in embracing death when he thought that by that sacrifice He would be able to save others from that suffering? Why was this very imperfect human act of choosing to die something that has riveted your culture for 2,000 years? That is the question that we feel may be most beneficial at this time for you to ponder. For the Entity comes into the Earth at this time. The one known as Jesus each year comes into the darkness, and the darkness knows Jesus not. And to that darkness Jesus is simply a mistake, a fool, a troublesome entity that must be stopped. For this entity simply wants to love. He wants nothing in return but simply wishes to speak the words of His Father, to do the will of His Father.

May you follow your heart. May you follow that which this instrument calls the cross. For fourth density is cruciform; that is, early fourth density especially. There is a cross involved. There is a sigil of sacrifice that needs to be grasped in a way that words almost cannot achieve. Silence itself, the tabernacle of the heart, and those infinitely blessed words that have no sound, that still, small voice, will bring to you that which you need. We encourage each to seek that silence each day and to affirm that all is well, that all will be well, that the life may be lived in faith. This rest that faith gives, again, frees one to love. It enables fearlessness. No one within your sphere is truly fearless in all ways, but it is well gently but determinedly to work on that fear, work on those separating emotions and realize that all actions expressed lovingly are metaphysically correct. It is not possible often within the Earth planes to make a pure choice because the physical vehicle won’t stand it, or the budget won’t stand it, or the family won’t stand it, or something will fall apart that you wish to keep together if you pursue a totally pure path of Light. As we said, there are times when one must make decisions that do not seem particularly loving. But if they are made carefully, thoughtfully, and because of Love then we say that is excellent work. It might not be right, but it is not important to be right. It is important to be loving. So, attempt to be right. Attempt to run that ship that you have. But attempt more to open the heart to Love.

Q’uo said that when seekers such as those gathered in this channeling meditation come together with the desire to help each other on their spiritual journeys they are working with the infinite Creator in a way of loving each other that powerfully multiplies their efforts even in times of difficulty. Q’uo continued by saying that when we suffer difficulties with other selves that we should not ignore them, but we should deal with our dark side, or we will never be able to create a social memory complex. Q’uo went on to say that if we can fall in love with the dark side of our 360 degree being then we are more vulnerable to the Light of the fourth density, and the Light that we call to ourself is created by the strength of desire and emotion with which we are seeking the Light, so all aspects of Light help to make third density into fourth density because: “all aspects of Light can be illuminated by Love. 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.” Then Q’uo said that Jesus did not feel that He was better than any other sinner, but he was seeking to become meeker and to achieve more suffering because this is the nature of the mystery of moving from the third density to the fourth density. Q’uo suggested that we follow our heart to deal with the sacrifice that is necessary to move into the fourth density by meditating on a daily basis and listening to that still, small voice within us so that we may live our life in faith that all is well, and that all will be well, and this will allow us to be fearless and to be able to love. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that no one is completely fearless, so in all of our actions we can work on that fear by lovingly expressing our actions because it is metaphysically correct when we attempt to open our heart to Love. On March 25, 2023, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the still, small voice within us:

The forming groups to engage in the meditative practice and seeking to be of service to others is a process which we find is most helpful on your planet at this time, as it would be upon any third-density planet, for you are all part of that One Creator which you seek. That One Creator is available to you in a meditative state so that when you listen to that still small voice within, you are listening to the One who is in all. Such meditative techniques and organizations and groupings are that which pave the path to the fourth density of Love and understanding. This is the way in which The Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator has suggested, throughout all time within your third-density experience, whether it be in channeling groups such as this one, in contact in the meditative state, or in the daily life experience where our presence may be felt, in sending Love and Light to various groups and planets, this is our connection. We are all the One Infinite Creator that exists as seemingly separate portions within your third-density illusion. That you are emphasizing the working together is that which is most important, for each one teaches the other. There are many ways of experiencing the Creator. And as you share your own way, you enlighten others as to another way and give a doubling effect, shall we say, to the seeking of all. For that which you seek is within you; that which you seek is without you; that which you seek is in all entities. Those who together seek may far more surely find.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We thank this group for asking such a good question, and we at this time would leave this instrument in love and light. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each once again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time, we would seek to offer ourselves to any further queries which may remain on the minds of those present. Are there any shorter queries to which we might speak at this time?

S: It is recently on my mind that, since yesterday we had a rear end collision, and a couple of days ago we had another accident, I was wondering if there was some lesson that I had missed?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We apologize for the delay that was necessary for this instrument to work the recording devices. To your query, we cannot see any particular lesson here other than there is always the unexpected, which occurs sometimes without any seeming rhyme or reason, yet which one can interpret by whatever means or attitude is prevalent within the personality structure. This attitude of mind then is set to work upon whatever catalyst approaches and will make the necessary adjustments to include the new catalyst within the established ways of thinking. The seeker of truth, then, may utilize any catalyst to achieve the desired perspective, shall we say. When one has one’s spiritual feet firmly under one, there is no catalyst which can shake one’s ground of being. All catalyst then becomes available as grist for the mill, shall we say, the catalyst being the means by which one seeks the heart of the being, if that is one’s predilection, or seeks the more easily accessible surface interpretation, if one wishes to skirt the issue, shall we say, or move around the experience of one’s being. Is there another query to which we may respond, my brother?

S: My wife has been feeling kind of low and down, and I suggested it might be a psychic greeting, or it may be the doldrums, but she couldn’t seem to find a reason why she feels the way she is feeling. Do you have any perspective on that?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We show this instrument the picture of the ice and the broken ankle. We suggest that this entity, the one known as C, may be, in the memory of the body complex, remembering that which occurred nearly one year ago at this time. The memory of the body is much stronger than most entities in third density are aware of or give credit to the body for possessing. We assure you, however, that the body does remember those traumatic experiences, and this memory bleeds through from the subconscious mind and becomes that which is seemingly non-directional, without source, a feeling of apprehension or anxiety. Is there another query, my brother.

S: That is most helpful, and I am sure C will appreciate it too. I am curious from the last session, concerning Carla’s fifth-density friend of negative polarity that occasionally attacks her. Does this entity have a name?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. And this is correct. Is there another query, my brother?

S: And what is this entity’s name?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We suggest that it be carefully considered whether or not this knowledge is desired. For it is polarized significantly in the negative direction to know the name of one’s seeming adversary. To know such is to begin the trail in the attempt to have power over that entity. Is there another query, my brother?

S: I’ll take the hint and leave it at that. The last question is: do those of Q’uo and the heavenly host have any message or thing that they would like to contribute to our group at this time?

I am Q’uo, and we cannot resist. Ho! Ho! Ho! Is there another query at this time?

S: Not from me. Thanks.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I’ve noticed that Christmas is a very difficult time for many people to the point that they have to work at surviving Christmas, to go and get some deli and some videos and shut out the horror until it passes. It’s a terribly negative view of Christmas, perhaps because there is no one to share it with or because of a bad memory. I wonder why this is and what can be done to make people feel better about Christmas?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. There is an infinity of possible reactions or responses to the season which you call Christmas as there are for any season, day, or event. Who can say why one entity feels such great joy and another such sorrow at the same experience. Each of you and each of us in all of creation is an individual, a spark from the same flame of the one Creator, yet a reflection in infinite variety according to choices made, experiences had, directions taken and not taken. There is no way to estimate the response of one entity over that of another entity to the same catalyst. For all lives are written by one soul in many experiences, some of which mark deeply upon the pages of the life pattern, while others seem to go unnoticed with the same seeming surrounding cast of characters. Life, for most, is a great mystery. To begin, and we stress begin, to unravel the various twists and turns of plot and character is the work of one entity for a lifetime. In short, my sister, we cannot give you a cure for the Christmas blues. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: No. Thank you, Q’uo.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

T: When Carla asked the question, a thought came into my mind. Sometimes it seems to me that some people at Christmas time get a glimpse of good cheer and people having a good time and what happiness could be towards this light. And some people take this and say that it’s not this way all the time, and they get depressed. Could you comment on that, please?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, for many this is so. To see that which is desired but not realized and removed from one’s experience seems to be focusing on that which is ephemeral, seems to be a trick, to be false. Others perhaps see the commercial nature of the season and are disillusioned. Others respond more to the lack of light, the days being shorter. Others perhaps respond to the loss of loved ones from earlier times who are not now available for sharing the joy. Others perhaps respond to events within the world stage which seem to be more evident at this time in your yearly cycle. As we mentioned previously there are many reasons for entities to respond in the negative sense, of joy or sadness, at this particular time of your year. Is there another query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo and we thank you, my brother. We would take this opportunity to thank each present for the heartfelt queries. The concern that underlies each is most evident to us, and we are always grateful to be able to speak to those who have the great desire to know the truth, to share the truth, and to become the truth. We walk with you on that journey, as do many others who are not visible at this time but whose hearts sing with you in the joy of your own seeking and your own serving.

At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and of this group. As always, we leave you in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I changed out the sheets on my bed and the pillow cases on my pillows from the green ones to the blue ones. I decided to take the Tempur-Pedic topper off of the bed because the fitted sheet was not large enough to stay in place. Then I put the sheets and pillowcases in the washing machine in the basement.

This afternoon I went down to the basement and ironed the pillow cases and flat sheet and put them in the cupboard in my bathroom.

I would like to wish all of my readers a very HAPPY NEW YEAR full of Joy and Love and the knowing that all is well, and all will be well.

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

January 1

The Banquet Of Life

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

I greet you this day in merriment and laughter, joy and freedom. I invite you to the banquet of life.

Gaze at the table spread before you: the delicious zest of challenges yet unmet; the wonderful nourishment of companions, friends and family; the spice of those whom you shall meet but not understand—those most contrary flavors that often make the meal and bless the feast—and, above all, the beauty of the banquet hall.

Gaze about you today in prayerful thanksgiving for the beauties that love has made.

You are a perfect and divine part of a perfect and divine creation. And that which you see before your eyes may be feast or famine. Ask of yourself that you choose what you shall see. And if you choose to see the riches of the creation of the Father, great riches indeed shall you see.

We leave you in peace, joy and laughter, 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 December 9, 2001:

Our question today is from B: It is my understanding that the formation of a social memory complex is crucial to fourth-density existence, and that the human race, due to factors already cited in The Ra Material, has been unable to even begin to form a social memory complex. My question is: What would be the areas of study, and the mental and spiritual disciplines required, of a dedicated group of people who wish to form a social memory complex in preparation for harvest? I assume detailed communication between complex members is a necessity, with direct person-to-person communication being the most efficient, allowing communication to take place at multiple levels, but is physical proximity necessary to initiate the formation of a new social memory complex? Can a social memory complex be formed through a tool such as our Internet or electronic mail? And how much a portion of this preparation for a social memory complex might be accomplished by seekers of truth simply seeking the truth and living a life? Is there something specific that we need to do?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We thank you for calling us to your circle of seeking. We thank you for your quest for truth and for your preservation of this special time of silence in meditation, for it is a beautiful and most helpful discipline to come together in silence and to invite the truth with all of the ardor of a courtier. For truly you do court that which is to you unknown, that which to you is a gift of your own spirit within. We thank you too because it allows us to perform a service that we feel is worthwhile. The one known as R was saying how remarkable it was that we continue to be happy to speak to you on subjects which seem to cycle around and perhaps cover the same material more than once and certainly in a generalized sort of sense this is true, yet we find that at each asking the direction from which the question comes and the seeking and vector of that seeking are different not only in a horizontal manner but different in a vertical manner. It is a matter of the cycles of questioning being spirals, and perhaps not even that organized or logical because oftentimes the learning of a spiritual principle is completely nonlinear and some of the seemingly advanced bits will come very easily to a certain personality shell whereas some of the most simple things will be very difficult. Consequently, it does no good to take one’s own spiritual temperature but simply to continue to live each day as though it were the central concern of your soul to live it well.

We ask one thing and that is that always each of you use the discrimination that has been created as part of your consciousness. Listen with an ear for resonance and when resonance is occurring, retain those thoughts, and invite them to develop themselves more and to blend within your musing. If the thoughts do not interest you, do not attempt to follow them, for they are not yours at this time.

The question today concerns how to form a social memory complex of fourth-density level while in third density. And we do find this an apt question and an interesting one. To begin with, let us look at third density as opposed to fourth density. There is a quantum break in between third density and fourth density. Consequently, the question cannot be answered as asked precisely because of the fact that third density is not fourth density; fourth density is not third density. The two have different locations within time/space or the metaphysical universe. It is easy to mix up in one’s mind the question of how to be a fourth-density social memory complex in third density and the equally valid question of how to express fourth-density values within third density, thus foreshadowing or pre-echoing the fourth-density reality of which your foreshadowing is a gift of hope. It is far more simple to talk about fourth density as fourth density, and we will do this first. But we do not believe that it completely answers the question.

When a third-density entity allows or surrenders to that ineffable energy of unconditional Love, which has often been called Christ consciousness, then the experiencer of this Love vibration is dwelling, unknown to herself oftentimes, in fourth density. That quality of Love, when the veil is removed, simply places one in a fourth-density environment. In this fourth-density environment the social memory complex is alive and well because the nature of consciousness in fourth density allows that pattern, and that pattern is a model that is higher than or that will replace the lower density when there is the awareness to see the higher density. In other words, when the spirit is not embodied in incarnation and the soul involved is vibrating at this level, the disciplines and studies involved in creating a social memory complex begin to be available, certainly, but even before such study and discipline the roadway is there upon which the seeker finds it convenient and easy to walk. The difficulty in fourth density would be finding a motivation for shutting off any part of the self from the blessed company of all other selves that were part of your being.

So any time there is between two entities an energy exchange that is genuinely and authentically mutually loving, without reservation or purpose of control or manipulation, any time that there is the achieving of a state of trust that is pure between two entities, any time there is that insight and awareness of the oneness of the self and another, within that moment, within that communion, however long it lasts, you are walking the bright and golden path of social memory formation, weaving connections and experiences that redound to the personal process of evolution and also to the planetary process of birth into fourth density. Third-density entities finding themselves to be running fourth-density energy greatly aid in the formation of the fourth-density social memory complex simply by opening the heart to the extent that those moments are possible.

It is not, however, to our mind, a physical goal of physically incarnate beings to achieve the complete fourth-density social memory complex. The concern that we share with you here is simply that there not be the desire for outer achievement or for some kind of clique or society of elite. It is well to realize that the social memory complex is not that which is made up of certain selected entities whose personality shells seem to indicate a certain level of awareness. Rather, in the complete democracy of spirit the social memory complex is made connection by connection, energy exchange by energy exchange between all peoples who connect in all ways, on all levels, and in many, many cases without there being a noticeable catalyst. Consequently, it is well to work with those with whom there are special connections. It is also well to level the gaze to include all entities whatsoever who come within the purview of any being who is working on this very worthwhile line of direction in seeking to serve the one Creator.

The group question for this session was: “What would be the areas of study, and the mental and spiritual disciplines required, of a dedicated group of people who wish to form a social memory complex in preparation for harvest?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the question of how to form a fourth-density social memory complex while being within the third density is a difficult question to answer because there is a quantum break between the third density and the fourth density.  Q’uo went on to say that the third density is not the fourth density, and the fourth density is not the third density, and they have different locations in the metaphysical universe. Q’uo said that one question was how to be a fourth-density social memory complex that functioned in third density, and there was also the question of how to express fourth-density values within third density which would be the fourth-density reality that describes the future as a gift of hope, so Q’uo said that it was simpler to talk about fourth density as fourth density, and they would do this first. Then Q’uo continued by saying that when our spirit is within the third-density incarnation, and our soul is vibrating at this level, the disciplines involved in creating a social memory complex are available, but before such study the path is where we will find it easy to walk, but the difficulty for us in fourth density would be finding a reason for shutting off any part of our self from the blessed company of all other selves that were part of our being. Now Q’uo said that when we engage in any energy exchange that is mutually loving and without reservation or control, and which contains an awareness of our oneness with another self, that within that moment we are walking the golden path of forming a social memory complex by creating connections and experiences that accelerate our evolution and the planetary process of birth into the fourth density. Q’uo said that then we will find ourselves to be running on fourth-density energy to aid in the formation of the fourth-density social memory complex by opening our heart to others in those moments. Then Q’uo said that it is not our goal as incarnate beings to achieve a complete fourth-density social memory complex because Q’uo said that we should not have the desire to create a society of the elite, and they suggested that we should realize that the social memory complex is not made up of a select few entities whose personality shells are at certain level of awareness, but in a democratic way of the spirit our social memory complex is made connection by connection between all people who connect on all levels and in many cases without any catalyst. Q’uo went on to say that it is well for us to work with those that we have special connections with, and it is also well to include any being who is working on this very worthwhile line of direction in seeking to serve the one Creator. In 11.17, Ra described the nature of how we go about creating a social memory complex:

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

Do not expect to be completely successful in third density except momentarily or briefly, and always be aware that in seeking such goals there is the greed for moving quickly, perhaps more quickly than the wise old woman inside the heart would have you move. And you must listen to that grandmother within that says, “This is the day in which you shall be content to be silent and to surrender and to wait. This is not the day to go forth and achieve.” Be aware of the energy that you have from day to day and work with the energy that is there that day, not towards an arbitrary goal of running Christ energy at all times. But simply live the goal of moving towards the self again and again.

This instrument was saying earlier that where she has weaknesses in her thinking she finds herself moving back again and again, iterating the messages of faith, and confidence, and peace that she feels most deeply to be true, but that her emotions and her mental quirks of character do not find so appealing and, of course, in each situation where an entity has to repeat that particular lesson, whatever it is, again and again, the message is clear. This is something that we need to pay great respect and attention to and to sit with and to welcome as a friend. For this friend has something to teach us. Perhaps it may sit at our campfire with us for a long time. Perhaps it shall be the entire incarnation. Perhaps it shall be a month or a year. Whatever that time is, be hospitable and welcome that time. We simply encourage each not to go faster than the wheels will turn. The need here is not for any rate of speed but rather for the self in the daily moment to be paying attention and attempting to do those things that are felt by that entity to be important at this particular time.

However, it is more difficult to speak of the foreshadowing effect but much easier to find a sense of reality which we may share with you, which you might be able to see in a conscious manner. This flashing of fourth density is a magical thing. It is a matter of the state of mind of the person, and it is extraordinarily difficult to talk about that state of mind, but belief and faith are a state of mind, perhaps we would even say that knowing is a state of mind. If one knows that something is true, that person becomes able to demonstrate that truth. It is the depth of the knowing that creates the state of mind which opens the gateway to intelligent infinity and allows that Christ-consciousness energy its freedom of passage, and when that energy is flowing freely, even if that entity has no idea of what is occurring, the planet itself and the people around that entity will feel the Light shine, will feel the warmth that is radiated and will be drawn towards that Light and that gentleness of energy that moves with those who are full of Love.

All of you have seen this in your daily lives. You have seen the illuminated moments when those around you or even you yourself experienced something that made your everyday experience seem like a black and white movie in comparison because the colors are richer; the feelings are more intense and more pure. That which seems two-dimensional in third density is three-dimensional in fourth-density. And you flash on this awareness, not because you have changed, but because you have opened the door that is closed within yourself. Or the door has been opened for you because of your surrender to the silence and your discipline with persistence in keeping that silence daily.

One of the questions that was asked was “What studies or disciplines might be helpful for those perceived to be at the fourth-density level and to create a social memory complex?” Certainly, the most important tool is silence, for truly until you have come to a certain degree of silence within yourself the energy exchanges of the quality of fourth-density would be difficult. For there will be fear. Times spent in silence over a period of time, a little at a time but daily, are extremely helpful for opening those higher densities to the self within so that the self is beginning to pre-echo and foreshadow fourth density without even thinking about it.

Then Q’uo said that we should be aware of our energy that we have from day to day, and work with it that day, but not towards the goal of running Christ energy at all times, but to simply live the goal of moving towards our true self again and again. Q’uo continued by saying that when we need to repeat lessons that we listen to that feeling because it is a friend that has something to teach us on a regular basis of a day, a month, or an entire incarnation because our need is not for any particular rate of speed but rather that we pay attention in the present moment and do those things that we feel to be important at this particular time. Q’uo went on to say that it was difficult to predict the future occurrence of the fourth-density, but it is a magical experience that occurs due to the state of mind of a person that that has belief and faith that allows the state of mind which: “opens the gateway to intelligent infinity and allows that Christ-consciousness energy its freedom of passage, and when that energy is flowing freely, even if that entity has no idea of what is occurring, the planet itself and the people around that entity will feel the Light shine, will feel the warmth that is radiated and will be drawn towards that Light and that gentleness of energy that moves with those who are full of Love.” Q’uo said that we have seen this illuminating experience happen to others, or we may have experienced it ourselves where our lives take on more vivid colors, and our feelings are more intense because the door has been opened for us due to our surrender to the silence of meditation and our discipline entering that silence daily. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that the most important tool for anyone at the fourth-density level to help to create a social memory complex would be daily meditation that would alleviate any fear and allow for opening those higher densities to the self within so that the self is beginning to predict and experience fourth density without even thinking about it. On May 23, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the ability to experience fourth density:

The problem, one may say, or the challenge of the situation is that these awarenesses come in ways that cannot be absorbed straightaway by the energy body. Rather, there is a sensation of harshness, as if these new awarenesses were too harsh to bear. There is a lack of ability with third-density wiring, shall we say, to experience fourth density in an entirely comfortable way. Consequently, there is this sensation of abruptness, of a lack of grace about these new awarenesses. They seem to offer to the self hard knowledge that seems almost impossible to bear.

For this reason there are no entities now being born into your Earth world that are equipped only with third-density wiring. Those who are moving into incarnation upon your planet at this time have the dual wiring of third density and fourth density. And so, they have the roots of consciousness and all of the delivery systems of deep awareness coming into conscious awareness that are native to both densities. And therefore, those younger entities among you are able to use the Light in a far more efficient fashion. And yet, because of the increased clarity of fourth-density Light and its increased ability to hold information, these same younger entities often express themselves as those who indeed do have difficulty in connecting with third-density’s common reality.

In short, we may say that this is a very challenging, although a very fruitful, time for those of you now incarnate upon Planet Earth. You have an unique opportunity at this time of cusp for the planet itself to offer within your very being a location and a place that is Love. We ask you to be compassionate, both upon yourself and upon those about you, at this time. Spiritually speaking, this is not a time that offers the easy, the comfortable, the pretty ways of experiencing your sacred nature.

We believe that we have given enough for this sitting and would appreciate the one known as B refocusing and requestioning for further information, if this entity desires. We would at this time thank this instrument and transfer the contact to the one known as Jim. We are those known as Q’uo. We leave this instrument in love and in light.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each once again in love and in light through this instrument. We would ask at this time if there might be any further queries remaining upon the minds of those present to which we might attempt response? Is there another query at this time?

Carla: OK. I have been receiving some interesting communications, and I have developed the theory that I am receiving a psychic greeting at this time from an entity which has to do with me and which I met during the course of the Ra contact. This is the fifth-density entity. Some information that I got recently suggests that this entity is working to dismantle the Law of One and has been doing so for a long, long time. My feeling is just to love this entity as myself and to let the chips fall where they may. If you would like to comment in any way about this situation I would greatly appreciate it.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As you are aware it is with great care that we attempt any response to such a query. However, we feel that it may be stated that your relationship with the entity of the fifth density negative polarity was, shall we say, begun at a time previous to this incarnation but became more specific and personal, shall we say, with the beginning of the contact with those of the Ra social memory complex. This was of necessity for this entity has as its primary purpose in regards to this third-density planet the increase of the harvest of those who share its polarity and the reduction of the harvest of the positive polarity. This entity has been engaged in this activity for a great portion of what you would call time in your third-density illusion. The mandate, shall we say, that such an entity gives itself is that there shall be control over those in this entity’s field of experience. It is the nature of the negative polarity to arrange itself in such a fashion so that there is a definite order in the movement of energies, thus allowing those controlling this ordered movement to benefit most in the harvest of energies and power. This entity has many areas in which it has invested its own energies in this manner and with these goals. It found the necessity of focusing upon your role in the contact with those of Ra, for it was with this contact that this entity felt the most opportunity for gaining power resided. That this entity would focus upon such a contact was logical from its point of view, but we would also suggest that this entity has busied itself with other endeavors as well.

We would speak briefly to the concept of dismantling the Law of One. This entity observes the Law of One with the attitude of using this law for its own gain. Thus it does not seek to dismantle this law as much as it seeks to bend it and form it in a manner which suits its purposes best. The Law is One. It is indestructible. However, there are means by which certain of its applications may be distorted by those who would seek to use it for their own gain. Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you for your query, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I guess I would ask one more question, but feel free to tell me that you cannot answer it if it infringes on free will. My question has to do with a fellow who wants to create a simpler version of the Law of One. I have mixed feelings about this project. I’d love to see the Law of One available in more ways to more people at more levels. I am hoping that it could be accomplished without changing the material substantially. This is an entity who wants to serve very deeply and is willing to put a lot of energy behind the project. We may have the opportunity to be of more service here and want to do our best. Can you comment?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. In this particular question we find that there is so much of your free will available for infringement that we must not give any kind of response at this time.

Carla: That is fine. Thank you so much, Q’uo. I have no more questions today.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you for your queries and apologize for our lack of response to the second query. We would take this opportunity to thank each once again for inviting us to join you this day. It has been a privilege, as always, to do so. We would take our leave of this instrument and this group at this time, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I made an errand run and my first stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My second stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to by some Tylenol.

This afternoon I walked around the yard and picked up the small tree limbs that have blown down on a second windy day.

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

December 31

The Tightrope Of The Present Moment

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

What has the Spirit to say to one who gazes upon the seeming end of one experience and the seeming beginning of a new experience? The Spirit of Love says at all times—and we would emphasize it this day—that each day is the New Year. Each day is the end of what has been.

These divisions of dark and light, warmth and cold, joy and penitence have been formed by the human mind and heart in response to the unimaginable complexities of the cycles of the natural world which you enjoy.

Yet we speak with the voice of Love. Let this day, then, be to you all that it truly is: the ending of that which is past, the release of that which has caused pain and the forgiveness of that which has caused displacement from love in yourself and in all whom you meet.

Let this day be a celebration of peace. For within you all that keeps you from peace is your hard heart condemning the past and fearing the future. Release those judgments. They have nothing to do with the Spirit and everything to do with those blockages that keep the seeking heart from the revelation of comfort and peace.

Know ye that outer peace shall never evolve until enough of your peoples find peace within. Balance, my children, upon the tightrope of the present moment in glad and fearless balance. For in this the Spirit is your guide and your balance. We ask you to trust, not in what has been, not in what shall be, but in the being of all that there is. Bless it and celebrate it at the present moment.  

Now may you in this day truly rejoice.

We leave you in the peace of the infinite cycles of time, space and Spirit, 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 November 18, 2001:

The question today has to do with why human beings in the third density, especially here on Earth, seem to be so war-like. In this particular system we have had the experience of Mars, which was apparently so war-like that they destroyed their atmosphere. Maldek exploded its planet. Earth has had thousands of years of war. We are wondering what it is about the third density that seems to lend itself to entities in it moving in the direction of war-like actions. Is it the nature of our consciousness interacting in social groups? Is it our free will choice? Is it our opposable thumb? Our ability to make and use tools and, therefore, weapons? We would appreciate anything Q’uo could tell us about what it is that gives us this propensity for war and what it is we need to do as individuals, groups, and nations to move in the direction of cooperation and working together instead of against each other?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of the Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you. We thank you for coming together to seek the truth and for joining in this circle of seeking. We thank you for calling for us, for we greatly appreciate the opportunity to share our thoughts with you. We ask only that you use your discrimination in listening to our words and set aside any words that trouble you, for we would not be a stumbling block but, rather, a resource for your seeking. We ask you to trust your discrimination and no outside authority. For you know what is comfortable and what is good within for you, and you may trust that instinct within you.

The question that you ask this day is an interesting one, one in which there is indeed a great deal to say but not as concise and crystalline a pattern as in some matters. The causes of war within third density in one way are unified into one cause, and in another way there are threads of cause. It simply depends upon the level at which you wish to attack the question. We will start with the threads, we think, because perhaps that is more where each of your minds are at this time.

One thread, having to do with third density and war, is the nature of the physical vehicle which you as a species enjoy and which others upon other planets have somewhat closely approximated in the sense of the basic structure of the two arms, two legs, one head, one torso makeup of the body. When you gaze at the instincts of the stock from which your species developed you may see that your instincts, those deep-seated predilections for response in certain situations, are those of a territorial animal. Your great apes occupy a certain area in which they are upon their home territory for hunting food and protecting their source of water. The nature of this species is such that for the most part entities remain within various small groupings, each with its own territory, and with each territory being allowed its own way in what this instrument would call a laissez faire structure, each group being independent from each other group, no attempt being made to work together in larger groups.

This is the instinct basis which feeds into the mind’s working, for a portion of the mind is involved with prioritizing messages from the body which have a tag which says, “Urgent.” Therefore, even though these instincts are unthinking they represent a substantial bias that prejudices third-density entities in the direction of what is perceived as their territory or their possession. If you will gaze upon the tangle of reasons surrounding your bellicose actions you will find that territorial considerations almost always play a significant role. This is the energy of red ray, of survival, being expressed. When the territory is threatened the territory must be defended. When other territory is seen as necessary and it must be gotten, then aggression is considered reasonable. This remains a substantial portion of the reason for war in third density.

Another thread of this tapestry of third-density situations and areas of conflict is the nature of the third-density mind. This third-density mind, without the benefit of the consciousness that is you as an eternal being, is a choice-maker mind. It is designed to make one choice after another. It assumes, as a way of working, that there is always a right choice and, therefore, sees the process of living as a sequence of choices. Faced with a situation, the third-density mind will attempt to solve the situation—not necessarily to appreciate it, to understand it, to analyze it, or to plumb its subtleties. The first mental reflex is to solve it, to make it go away. The tendency to see black and white, yes and no, feeds into that ability to be belligerent which is indeed a hallmark of your density. The very nature of the mind is such that it tends to suggest to the most rational thinker that decisions must be made, that plans must be made, that all must be chosen and then whipped into order along the lines of choice.

Another thread that moves into the war-making ability of humankind and of third-density in general is as the one known as Jim suggested: the challenge of working with groups. The great question in any group is “What is the character of that group?” A group shows its character as it chooses its leaders. Those who attempt to be leaders within large groups tend to have personality structures in which the use of aggression seems fair; the use of influence just; the use of all advantages necessary. The tendency therefore is for leadership not to be as idealistic as the spoken ideal philosophy that is given respect in polite company, while at the same time, as the one known as Jim pointed out, ignores those same ideals when it seems to be of some advantage.

All of these threads feed into the situation where entities, feeling threatened, respond to their insecurity by aggression. You may see the fight for territory; you may see the greed for advantage, influence and power. You may see the tendency to do something as opposed to resting and gathering for extended periods of time, that impatience of leadership, that impulsivity. And a final thread that we would mention is that tendency of the stronger to bully the weaker. And by this we mean to indicate not nations against nations but rather, as the one known as C pointed out, male against female, one kind of energy over against its dynamic opposite, instead of coming into cooperation with that dynamic opposite. We have found that in populations of third-density entities who have chosen to seek the face of the Creator in a feminine face, the values of the culture include far less impulsivity and far more kindness than in cultures dominated by a Creator who is seen as a powerful male figure. The tendency to find positions of power held by male entities, the tendency of the very workings of the law and certainly the traditional underpinnings of your cultures upon your Earth at this time favor the values of strength, power, and force—the virtues of a strong male figure.

The group question for this session was: “We are wondering what it is about the third density that seems to lend itself to entities in it moving in the direction of war-like actions. Is it the nature of our consciousness interacting in social groups? Is it our free will choice? Is it our opposable thumb? Our ability to make and use tools and, therefore, weapons? We would appreciate anything Q’uo could tell us about what it is that gives us this propensity for war and what it is we need to do as individuals, groups, and nations to move in the direction of cooperation and working together instead of against each other?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the causes of war in the third density are many, but they are unified into one cause which Q’uo wanted to focus on as the nature of the physical body having come from the ape which is a territorial animal that functions in small groups, and each group has the instinct to defend its territory, and this prejudices third density entities to defend their territories which often causes wars to break out since this activates the red ray of survival, and the same could be said for the aggressive desire to gain more territory. Q’uo went on to say that another reason for warlike actions was that the third-density mind is a problem solver that sees situations in a black and white nature that must be solved so that the problem goes away. Then Q’uo said that another thread which can lead to war is working with groups where the one who is the leader of the group is likely to have the personality of feeling that being aggressive is acceptable while giving lip service to the higher ideals of living in harmony. Q’uo continued by saying that the last thread of the cause of warlike behavior was seen to be the nature of the male being more dominant than its female counterpart which tends towards cooperation with others, and the majority of groups was the male figure that values power and force. On January 18, 2020, Q’uo spoke of the natures of the male principle as being dominant and the female principle being more nurturing:

This type of expression of power, or energy, or intention, is that which is based upon the male principle of the reaching. This type of principle is that, when used in a cooperative fashion, and a sensitive fashion, is that which may be inspirational to those entities existing within the patriarchy. However, it is also a principle which is easily misused and may be used to the detriment of many within its sphere of influence, when the reaching becomes the grasping and the holding into position so that certain entities are not allowed a free expression of their own free will. This type of patriarchy then, demands that there be compliance with a certain set of values and intentions that are often not universal in expression or desire by those within the higher realms of the patriarchy.

Thus, entities who wish to reform the patriarchal situation that may be predominantly of a male nature but also contain those of the female gender as well, are attempting at this time to enhance the type of expression that is more matriarchal, that which is feminine, that which awaits the reaching, that which does not have the temptation or the desire or the ability to be aggressive.

The awaiting the reaching is that which is comforting, that which is cooperative, that which is generative of the expression of love that accepts all that are within the realm of influence and nurtures each within that realm of influence.

Thus, the matriarchal type of expression of energies, is that which is seeing the entire picture, the, shall we say, grander view, the overview, and is patiently awaiting the discovery of each entity within the illusion, be the entity biological male or female, that the old ways of patriarchy have served their purpose and have, perhaps, been in dominance overlong, needing to be balanced by the nurturing nature of the feminine principle that awaits the reaching.

The very roots of your thinking, shall we say, from childhood have been saturated with testosterone-rich heroic deeds. This entity has a fondness for reading, and we find in this entity’s mind many, many a story which involves the waving of the sword, the brandishing of the firearm, the assumption that weaponry and armament are natural concomitants of policy. And indeed, we do not disparage war in and of itself. It is part of the almost inevitable confusion of third density. We do not suggest strict ways of thinking about conflict, for a case can be made for war as a game, as an excellent game, rich in glory and honor. Like many other things which from a wider point of view seem insane, going to war is a part of the expression of third density as most third-density planets experience the density.

Beyond all these reasons, the heart of war and the heart of the reason for war in third density is the nature of Love. All things that you experience come to you as distortions of Love. There is no other substance but Love from which to draw life. So, all of life, including murder, pillage, and rape is act after act of love: Love distorted, Love blocked, Love asked to go where it would not go. Nevertheless, no matter how many times the stock seems to be hybridized and ruined, the basic root stock of all experience is Love. Third density is a very focused, very intense density, the density of choice. The choice is not between love and hate. The choice is between two ways of seeking love: loving others as a way of choosing to love, or loving the self as a way of choosing to love.

Needless to say, the service-to-others path is not a war-like path. It is allegedly service-to-self entities that would move themselves into fighting against their own kind. And yet the struggle to see clearly the roots of Love within the self is a tremendous one. As the one known as Jim has said, it is not that anyone knows not how to love. There are many examples of unconditional love. There are very simple words to indicate the qualities of forgiveness, compassion, and love. However, all of these words are only within the mind until an energetic attempt begins to be made to translate these ideals into that which can be manifested in physical life. So, the question becomes, “What is each seeker’s response to the call of Love?” And this is not a simple thing.

It is easy for us to ask each to go into meditation each day and seek the silence. The answers are there within the silence, not within our words. However, when it comes to attempting to step into your shoes as third-density entities we find that we are simply glad that each of you has the energy and the will for this great task of seeing the truth amidst the confusion. Love calls powerfully and pulls each entity forward. Third density is carefully designed to pull entities forward according to their desires and their thirst. The challenge of selfhood is to find out what you truly desire. What shall you desire? Truth? Love? Peace? Where is the substance to those words? Where is the reality beneath your feet? What is your understanding of your journey? If you understand that you are here to pursue spiritual evolution, that you are here to answer the call of Love, then you will want to shape your questions to the infinite Creator in such a way that you are seeking your own essence and the essence of Love itself.

It is thought by some that if people would stop shooting at each other that we would have peace. And yet we say to you that it is not as simple as that. For as the one known as C said, if one stops doing that, then what does one do instead? At least aggression against a certain and very specific nation-state or group of entities is a limited and achievable battle, and at the end of it one can say such and such has been achieved, and now there is peace. And yet we say to you, like Love itself, peace is beyond all condition. Peace does not originate within conditions. Peace is a quality that is waiting for each third-density entity to take it and claim it as his own, his very own, a wonderful, blessed possession. Yet how many entities truly seek the peace within their own hearts which comes from stopping the striving and encouraging the resting in what is? How many entities truly embrace peace if peace involves releasing many other things which are dear?

Then Q’uo said that in the third density confusion going to war is an almost inevitable experience that can be seen as an excellent game but, when seen from a wider point of view, can be seen as insane. Q’uo continued by saying that in the third density the nature of war is a distortion of Love, and as the third density is the density of choice this manifests as a choice that is between two ways of seeking love: loving others as a way of choosing to love, or loving the self as a way of choosing to love. Q’uo went on to say that it is difficult to see the roots of Love within ourselves although many people can express examples of unconditional love through forgiveness, compassion, and love, but then Q’uo said that these are only mental concepts until we can energetically manifest them in our physical life, so we should ask ourselves:  “What is each seeker’s response to the call of Love?” Q’uo said that the answer to this question could be found within the silence of meditation, and the purpose of third density is to pull us forward on our spiritual path by asking ourselves what we desire: Truth? Love? Peace? Because if we understand that we are here to pursue spiritual evolution and the call of Love, then we will ask our questions of the infinite Creator in a way that we are seeking our essence and the essence of Love as well. Then Q’uo went on to say that peace is not just stopping shooting at people, but we need to be able to find peace within our own hearts and stopping our striving and resting in what is. On July 21, 1991, Q’uo described our essence:

Let your intuitions, your intentions, and especially those intentions about which you are persistent form within you an ever more tangible I AM. How can we know the Creator? I AM. I AM. You are. We know the Creator partially in our essence and to a great extent in the essences of the I AMs that we perceive as other than ourselves due to our continuing distortions of understanding. How can you know the Creator? Precisely that way, my children. Learn yourself, love yourself, for you are Love. What other appropriate response is there to Love but Love? As circumstances befall you, see them as Love, for all things are the I AM, that one great idea, Love. It may be very distorted, the branches may have gotten twisted, seared, burned, ruined. Then you must look to the roots, for I AM is the root system. You have a good deal to do with the branches, but gaze at your roots.

The one known as Jesus answered the man who said, “I follow all of the commandments. What else shall I do to enter the kingdom of heaven?” by suggesting that he sell all that he had and give the money that he received to the poor. And the young man went away very unhappy because he did not wish to do this, even if it meant entering the kingdom of heaven. Pride, vanity, the need to be better than someone else: all of these are energies within the human heart that are natural to the instinctual, second-density body and third-density brain. Yet you as a consciousness, as an eternal being, are resting within these biases for an incarnational experience in which you are attempting to follow the inexorable pressure of seeking for the truth, and your question each day to yourself is always the same. “Where in this moment is the Love? Where in this moment is the Creator?”

So, we do not suggest that it is an evil thing to go to war in and of itself. We do suggest that it is not a productive way to seek spiritually compared to the ways of peace. Yet in many ways your third density will express conflict because that is the basic nature of people who see themselves as separate from and over against others. This is a part of the catalyst of third density. It is a part of the hard lessons of Love. And indeed, it does move through not just third density but also to some extent, fourth density. For there are those within fourth density who choose to continue as children of light or as children of darkness and continue the clash of polarities. As fourth density wears on, this great love of being a warrior begins to evaporate, as love is better learned. Each has had crystalline, shining moments in his life, when Love has become real, not just a word, not just a concept, but amazingly, vividly, powerfully real. Think about those times and the gift that those times have given you. Allow the consciousness that filled you at those moments to come back to you, just to remember how it feels.

We encourage each to ponder deeply her own essence and the nature of her own heart. The heart of one entity and the heart of the world upon which you live are the microcosm and the macrocosm of the same thing. And actually, each of you is of an higher order than the world itself. As you choose to seek, to think and to act, so shall the reflections manifest in the macrocosm that is your globe. Work with the essence of self to find ways to choose not to promote conflict, ways to express the truths that do not do damage to those who think differently. But above all, seek that Presence within that is as the ray of Light that is a fuller Light, a Light that blesses the darkness, a Light that is not afraid. Open the self to that gentle, lambent flame that is the presence of the infinite Creator. Let that Light take up and enlarge its home within your heart. As you seek the ways of peace within yourself, as you find ways to solve conflict within yourself, you are learning a little bit more for the planetary mind.

There is a fairly quickly growing group of those who are attempting to speak peace upon your planet, not in ways of public policy, but in ways of working within to become beings of peace. We see this body of energy enlarging upon your planet, and we feel very hopeful that, against all of the apparent news to the contrary in your Earth world, the lessons of Love are more and more being seen, sometimes for the first time. Entities are awakening and doing some of this inner choosing of essence that we suggest. As more individual lives are transformed, so, we believe, shall your planet be transformed.

We would encourage each not to take to heart the appearance of things. It is said in your holy works that there will be wars and rumors of wars. There will be this, and there will be that, but the time is not yet. And we say to you that we believe this to be true. The true war for each of you is the struggle that the one known as Jim called the jihad, the internal struggle of the pilgrim to discipline the earthly self in order to make of the earthly self a vessel for the Spirit within. In this jihad, in this holy conflict, your choices are not clear, and yet there is always a Light that shines from within. And so, we ask you simply to seek that Light, to seek the face of Love, and when you see that sunshine radiantly that is Love, to learn from it and to offer yourself to it. For you, too, can be an agent of Love within the confusion. You, too, can be a part of the eventual peace upon planet Earth. It begins with each individual seeker seeking the ideals within herself that she hopes to see in the world.

Now Q’uo said that pride, vanity, and the need to be better than others are energies within our heart that are natural to our second-density body and third-density brain, but since we are an eternal being, and are resting within these biases for our incarnational experience, we are attempting to follow the pressure of seeking the truth, and our question each day to ourself is always the same: “Where in this moment is the Love? Where in this moment is the Creator?” Q’uo went on by saying that war was not evil because in our third density conflicts will occur when people see themselves as separate from others, and this is a part of the catalyst of third density, one of the hard lessons of Love. Q’uo continued by saying that we are the world, and what we do affects the whole world, so we should find ways to live our lives that don’t create conflict by opening ourself to that gentle flame that is the presence of the infinite Creator and then: “Let that Light take up and enlarge its home within your heart. As you seek the ways of peace within yourself, as you find ways to solve conflict within yourself, you are learning a little bit more for the planetary mind.” Then Q’uo said that we should not be discouraged by the wars and rumors of wars that are spoken of in the Bible because the true war for each of us was our internal struggle to discipline our earthly self in order to make our earthly self a vessel for the Spirit within. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that in this inner conflict our choices are not clear, so Q’uo asked us to seek our inner Light and the face of Love because we can be a part of the eventual peace upon planet Earth that begins with each one of us seeking the ideals within ourself that we hope to see in the world. On April 15, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the face of Love that is within us:

We may say specifically only that the intentness of the entity which is Christ is a consciousness which has used channels which have given over their lives to servanthood. Gaze clearly upon the face of love. There is no pride, there is no judgment, there is always love, forgiveness and healing. That which is of Christ-consciousness dares the entity to look at itself, to accept itself, and by that impossibility of self acceptance and blind faith, be healed.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, leaving this instrument with thanks, and love and light. We are those known to you as Q’uo. We transfer now.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am with this instrument. We greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to ask if there might be any further queries upon the minds of those present to which we may give our response. Is there another query at this time?

S: I’ll start off. Recently I got a book from Carla called The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. It was interesting reading. The fellow seemed to ascend during his lifetime, and I was wondering if you could tell me what he is doing now and what kind of service he is performing?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that this entity is one who has become that which you would call a source of channeled information. However, the contact which this entity has made is with a group of entities who seek in what may be called a solitary fashion, shall we say; that is, they seek specifically the kind of information which is contained within this volume and are a portion of this entity’s larger family of seekers. Thus, the work of this entity continues in another form, always seeking to give information which is of service to those who are interested in the kinds of mysteries and riddles that the secret or occult endeavors produce. Is there a further query, my brother?

S: There is another book which I got from Carla, The Hathor Material. I guess these were fourth-density beings who came either before or after Ra, in Egyptian times. Maybe you could tell me something of the service of this group?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Again, the information that you seek in this area is as broad ranging as a race of entities can produce through their experience, their seeking and their service. We could only give a brief description without moving into many areas of interest which would consume a great portion of your time. The entities of the Hathor race were those who, as did those of Ra, make contact with various cultures of this planet’s history, most notably those of the Egyptian culture, and this contact was not just one period or point in your past but has been that of a continual nature. Some aspects of this contact became more noteworthy or widespread than others. These entities were most helpful in planting the seeds of the concept of unity and infinity within the Egyptian culture which allowed those of this culture to be readied for consideration of the Law of One. Thus, the entities of the Hathor race worked in conjunction with those of Ra in order to allow an expansion of the concepts in the philosophical or spiritual realms of the Egyptian culture so that there was seen to be not just many gods or powerful forces at work in the universe about these entities, but that there was truly one Creator from which all else sprang. This was a revolutionary concept, shall we say, for those of the Egyptian culture. Is there a further query, my brother?

S: The last question would be do you have any suggestions on different meditation groups that have reached out to each other? How can they share information and service?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Truly, that which you do is that which is helpful: to communicate with each other, to share the information which you find of value with others who have such to share with you as well. The ability of each entity that is desirous of serving others actually to do so is dependent only upon the passion that each has within the heart, within the mind, within the will to be of such service. For as the will is set upon a course, so is a way made that the will may manifest as it is formed within the heart, mind, and soul, the very essence of the entity. Is there a further query, my brother?

S: Not from me. Thank you.

T: I have a question. A couple of weeks ago N noticed white light coming from my knee when I twisted it in bed. J had a dream about that a few nights later and got the message that this was piezo-electric energy that was coming from the crystallized arthritis in my knee. It has to do with crystals having pressure exerted on them. Could you tell me anything else about this? How can I use this energy, if indeed I am supposed to use it?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. As you are aware, the crystalline formation is that which is composed of Light in a certain field or form. As one applies energy, or force, to a crystal this Light energy expresses itself, or, quite literally, moves from the crystalline form in a fashion that may be perceived by those who are sensitive to the movement of subtle energies. That this occurred when you applied pressure to your knee is the result of the various secondary and tertiary energy center formations contained within the knee, the wrist, the elbow and the ankle that correspond to the primary energy centers or chakras that are located within the finer formation of the physical body, from the base chakra to the crown chakra. The energy which expressed from your knee location was that which has a relationship to the health of that portion of your physical vehicle, there being some imbalance in that area at this time in the form of what you may call the arthritis or bursitis. These are not absolutely correct terms but will suffice for the nonce.

The use of such energies is, to our knowledge, not specific to the physical vehicle itself but to the regaining of the health or balance of energies within this portion of your physical vehicle. Thus, to utilize this energy most effectively one would need to engage in a program of meditative visualization that would allow you to see with your inner eye the overall experience of catalyst that has led to this particular imbalance in your knee. This is a product of the process of ageing and is a primary source of the catalyst with which you now deal. Is there a further query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo. We thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

C: I have one from B. He asks “What do wanderers expect of the Earth?” And the second question is “What is the society and cultures of the wanderers like?”

 I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Those who have entered the Earth environments from those realms of higher densities are those who have left experiences which are far more harmonious and in touch with the unity of all creation than the Earth environment is found to be at this time. Therefore, the entities whom you may describe as wanderers are oftentimes, upon the discovery of their own nature, quite discouraged when viewing the environment which they now find themselves incarnated within in order to serve and to learn, for your third-density experience at this time, near harvest, is that which is quite confused in its overall orientation. There is found within most cultures of this planetary sphere a great deal of disharmony and even the bellicose nature being expressed upon a daily basis, not only between those entities you call the nation states but also within each entity in its relationship to other individuals within its daily round of activities. Thus, the experience many wanderers find, when they have discovered that which they have come to do, is one of bewilderment, of confusion…

[Tape is changed.]

I am Q’uo, and am once again with this instrument. Is there another query at this time?

N: Could I personally thank them for the inspiration and devotion that they have given us?

I am Q’uo, and we are grateful to be able to do so, my sister. Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: Thinking about the question of joining with other groups and sharing, and thinking about the work I do each week writing people with these kinds of concerns, I feel that since this is an illusion we are connecting on the inner planes, and we are together on the inner planes ,and we don’t have to worry about that. I have this sense when I am writing the people that I work with through the mail that it is like I am doing two things. I am doing the individual sharing, and listening, and communion, and communication. I feel an energy exchange being co-created with the other person and me, whatever we have to teach each other and whatever we have to learn from each other. At the same time that it is helping me or the other person it seems like it is creating the channels of communication for fourth-density positive. We are doing work at this time on the soul level, and we don’t even know that we are doing it on a conscious level. Could you speak to that?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, as each entity engages in such communication it is as though a muscle that has not been used previously is now being exercised. As one gains in the strength of sharing what is in one’s heart then there is brought forth from that heart more and more information, inspiration, and direction, not only for the entities with whom you communicate but a great deal more in the sense of the numbers of entities who share these concerns. As you are able to open yourself in communication with others you allow these others to share that energy and to move the energy in a spiral fashion, much as the Light of the one Creator seeks to return to its source in the upward spiraling line of Light. So, as you are able to share the inspiration that is drawn from you by the questions of others this is as a seed. It is planted not only within the heart of those with whom you communicate but within the inner sense of self of humanity. As one learns, so do all have the potential to learn that which one has learned. Indeed, all are portions of the one Creator, cells within the body of the one Creator. And as one is enriched, so are all. Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: What is the Merkaba? M wants to know more about the Matrix of the Spirit, the Potentiator of the Spirit and how to use the Potentiator of the Spirit to work with these energies that have been archetypally jump-started with 9-11. I can refer her to the works of Drunvalo Melchizadek if you want to focus on the latter portion of the question.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. It would indeed be our recommendation that the reference to the one known as Drunvalo Melchizadek be made for the one known as M in this area, for it is indeed a large area of study and we would not be able to do it justice with the energy that begins to dwindle within this instrument’s vehicle.

As far as the second and third queries, we also feel that this is a large area of study in which there needs to be a further refining of the query, for there is a great deal of information that could be given here as well. We shall satisfy ourselves and hopefully begin to satisfy the one known as M by suggesting that the nature of the spirit itself is that which is immobile in that it does not move in the same fashion as does the physical vehicle or the mental vehicle but is that which is. The spirit of each entity which moves within the third-density illusion is that which is drawn from infinity. There is the body of the one Creator which may be seen as the creation itself. There is that from which the body is made, that which we find the ones known as Ra referred to as the unpotentiated intelligent infinity. This is the infinite source which each of your entities is able to make contact with, when the higher self is realized at any time within the third-density experience.

We realize that this does not speak specifically to various portions of the spirit archetypes that are described in the system of study called the tarot which the one known as M has queried concerning. However, we feel it is well to begin this study with a basic foundation of information that is able to include the nature of infinity as being that which is the basic source for each finite expression of the one Creator known as a mind/body/spirit complex. We apologize for being short of information in this regard, but we find that the energies and the concentration of this instrument are less than adequate at this time for giving further specific information. Thus, we would recommend that there be one final query before the ending of this session of working.

Carla: In truth, Q’uo, I would suggest that we end the session now because we have gained so much, and I wasn’t able actually to read M’s question as she wrote it. I think the energy of that question and the thirst that she had for that question really wasn’t there, so I will refocus for next time. A flashlight would help I believe. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to you as well, my sister. At this time, we would take this opportunity to express our gratitude to each present for inviting our presence this day in your circle of seeking. It is a great privilege for us to be able to join you here, in your hearts, in your minds, and in your seeking for that which is known as the truth. We truly enjoy these gatherings and are unable to express adequately our gratitude to you, but we are most thrilled to be able to join you at any time. At this time, we would take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being the PNC Bank to make a cash withdrawal. My second stop was at Kroger’s to buy some Pepsi-Zero and some Sharp Shredded Cheese. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some canned fish for Bosco.

This afternoon I went outside and used my backpack blower to blow the remaining leaves in the front yard and side yard into a pile in the driveway, and then I filled one garbage can with them.

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

December 30

Drop The Rags Of Everyday

I am of the Spirit of that principle of Love which was in Jesus the Christ. I greet you in that full consciousness of Divine Love.

How this instrument wrestles with its seeming imperfections!

How reluctant is this instrument to bathe in the clean waters of forgiveness and move, then, cleanly and clad in white, into the sanctuary of the Spirit’s meeting with self, body and spirit. How many words it takes to deny the clear and shining perfection, the result of one moment of dreaming, to the cleansing, the whitening, the purification of the channel which is your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self!

Shall you now let go of woe?

For this instant, see yourself as you are seen by the Christlight, as a holy, perfect and acceptable infinite portion of an infinite creation that is, nevertheless, all one being.

We say to you in meditation, “Drop the rags of everyday. Dip in the pool of returning. Clad yourselves in robes of sufficiency and perfect Love, and then, my children, wait. For that which comes to you may come in an instant, in an hour, or in a lifetime.”

Move yourself to the clean body, the cleanly desire and the focusedLove of Creator with child and of child with most beloved parent. These things you do, you do for yourself. Each turn to holiness you do as a celebration of Love.

We leave you in the peace which lies beneath the struggle to see the sun. In sure knowledge that this peace shall come upon you as you turn to the Light of Christ, we leave you in the light of that 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 November 4, 2001:

The question today, once again, is focused around the events of September 11th. We are wondering if you could give us some information about the people who were directly involved and who gave their lives in this event might have been the catalyst for all of us to become what you might call a “nation of priests,” people who are desirous of being of service to others and following the way of the peaceful warrior, of discovering love in the life, in the heart and sharing it with others. Could you elaborate on how this kind of catalyst can work in all of our lives and how we can become a “nation of priests”?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we are. May we say what a privilege and a blessing it is to be called to this meeting. We greet entities we have not enjoyed in this group for some time. We greet those who are new. We greet those who have some small experience with this group. We greet each of you and thank each of you, for each of you brings beauty and grace to the circle. Each is a gem through which the light of the Creator shines in a unique and beautiful way. And we greatly appreciate the flavor of each of you and the coloration of your vibrations. We would ask of you that you employ your powers of discrimination in listening to what we have to say, for we are not without error, but are as you: pilgrims seeking along a path that sometimes is broad and pleasant and at other times seems to be a path in the desert that is difficult and dark.

We greet you at a time within your year when the celebration is made for those who have departed the physical incarnation in faith and are considered among the faithful departed. The time of all saints is celebrated in this instrument’s church at this time, the time when all of those who have experienced incarnation in this world and have moved on are remembered. You ask this day about some few of those who have departed from the incarnation recently because of the events of the eleventh of September, and it is an interesting question that you ask and certainly one that moves into deeper material.

Your question has to do with how a death can be more than a death, how a tragedy can be more than a tragedy. And we say to you not only that this is so but that it is so again and again in large occasions that acquire global notice and in the very small tragedies that occur within the purview of one small life. And yet within that life is all of creation. The nature of mortality is such that the incarnational experience as a whole can be seen as that which is sacrificed. The breath moves in, and the breath moves out of the body just so many times, and then that body again becomes dust. The heart beats so many heartbeats, and then that heart is stilled. The physical body of each entity has written within it its future history, and one finds in those who have gained a great deal of peace that there is no concern left when the question of dying is looked at. It is simply that which is known as part of the future history of that body. It is no longer, therefore, catalyst for distress or discomfort.

The nature of destiny is such that we cannot say to you that your future is fixed. What we can say to you is that you have made arrangements with a specific group of entities to be in the position of companion and minister to them, just as they are companion and minister to you. And you have agreements set in place to look at certain incarnational questions. For most entities those questions have to do with the giving and receiving of love. For many entities these lessons revolve around how to serve, how to give freely without expectation of return, how to be a healing presence without being an aura infringer, how to express the self without becoming a perceived negative in the lives of others. These and many other issues come up within the life repeatedly, and it is not to be amazed at that this would occur because there are careful arrangements in place so that no matter which way that you move, no matter which choices that you make in a given situation, the path somehow winds around to meet again those issues and to work with those people that you have made agreements with.

This is by way of saying that all of those souls whose lives ended on the eleventh of September in the World Trade Center or elsewhere did in a way have dates with destiny, and in another way they were completely free up until the moment until that possibility/probability vortex turned into an actuality. The future is very much a creature of each of you and what you think and what you do. It is not fixed. We cannot look at the future and tell you what you shall experience because each of you is a co-Creator, capable potentially of generating tremendous Light and tremendous Love, not from within yourself but through the crystal of your being. Many there were who met their death that day in such a way as to embrace the Light. Many there were that day who were as the unsung heroes whose stories shall never be known, who in helping others lost their own lives.

No death is ever a loss without a gain. There was for some of your time an issue which we were concerned with having to do with those souls who were not yet able to leave the inner-planes version of that locale in the New York City area. However, we are happy to say that over the two or two and a half weeks after that event there were those of what you would call your native American population—not those within this density, but those within the inner planes—which were able to work with those entities who were confused at that time so that at this time all of those souls which were involved in that tragedy have moved on into the realms of healing and are receiving the balm of Gilead.

The group question today was: “The question today, once again, is focused around the events of September 11th. We are wondering if you could give us some information about the people who were directly involved and who gave their lives in this event might have been the catalyst for all of us to become what you might call a “nation of priests,” people who are desirous of being of service to others and following the way of the peaceful warrior, of discovering love in the life, in the heart and sharing it with others. Could you elaborate on how this kind of catalyst can work in all of our lives and how we can become a “nation of priests”?” Q’uo began their reply by referring to All Saints Day, celebrated by Carla’s Episcopal Church, as being this time of year when souls who have left their incarnations in faith are remembered much as the souls who departed in the September 11 attacks will be remembered. Then Q’uo moved into the deeper nature of the ending of our incarnation as being seen as a sacrifice of our body that occurs after we have made arrangements with a number of entities to be a companion and to work with them just as they are a companion and work with us, and we agree to help each other to learn the lessons of giving and receiving love. Q’uo continued by saying that those who met their death when the World Trade Center was destroyed were meeting their destiny which could have changed at any time before the event occurred because: “each of you is a co-Creator, capable potentially of generating tremendous Light and tremendous Love, not from within yourself but through the crystal of your being.” Q’uo went on by saying that no death is ever a loss without a gain, but Q’uo was concerned that some who died that day were confused and unable to leave the inner planes of Earth until a group of Native Americans from those inner planes was able to work with these souls to help them move on to the inner realms of healing and receive the balm of Gilead. On February 2, 2003, Q’uo described the healing nature of the balm of Gilead:

If one can envision, as the one known as V was discussing, diving down that cliff of ocean from the relative shallows of the conscious experience into the abyss of infinite awareness, that infinite awareness has a coherence that is full of information that, in its very transmission, is as the Balm of Gilead, that healing energy that can move into a situation within as those healing waters, as that medicament without description heals by its energy alone, not needing rhyme and reason, not needing logic and possibility, not needing the human acceptance; needing, rather, the acceptance of a state of mind that is other than that which your culture understands, or accepts.

Each of you, however, in living through this experience has, as several within this circle have said in the conversation preceding this talk, experienced emotional catalyst having to do with a change in the way the surrounding world is perceived because of that which occurred. Most of the surface events which come before your view are those pieces of information almost scientifically designed to reduce hope and faith and increase doubt and fear. As the one known as H has noted, the object of so-called terrorism is simply to instill terror, to instill fear and discomfort in the minds of those who were formerly smug and uncaring of the rest of the world. This has indeed occurred. There is a profound feeling of having been awakened from a sleep, a pleasant sleep that now is at an end.

The creation is made in such a way that balance is the strongest single force operating in situations that are unbalanced. And in the darkness of aggression lies the call to the Light, and we do see that this call has, to an increasing extent, been heard by many among your peoples. The concept of unity is very simple. And, indeed, the name of the country in which each of you abides is called the United States, and yet may we observe that your states are more united at this point than before the events of the eleventh of September. The shock of such a general attack created the catalyst for many who had formerly thought of themselves as Americans with distinctions as to race, or creed, or color, and who now have found themselves as Americans without regard to anything but citizenship, feeling perhaps for the first time a fellow-feeling and a complete sympathy and solidarity with the man on the street of your towns and your cities and your countryside of America. Not because another looks like you or sounds like you but because that entity is part of that experiment that those known as the fathers of your country started so long ago.

You asked about the quote, “and ye shall be a nation of priests” and how one might focus on that quotation from your holy scriptures which this instrument’s guidance which she calls the Holy Spirit offered to her when she was troubled and asking for guidance in this matter. If each of you will take a moment to think of the thoughts that you have thought today, the concerns that have been upon your mind, and then think of yourself as a priest and ask yourself, “Were I a priest would I have been content with these thoughts, these actions? Would I have been content with my day, with my service, with my walk? Would I have felt that I had touched into the presence of the one infinite Creator?” The sense of this particular quote at this particular time is that each of you is as a flower that is opening, and the awakening process is very much like a rose opening its petals to the sun. As the entity awakens, and seeks, and thirsts for the truth, that entity learns, and each of you in this circle is a veteran campaigner and has learned a great deal. There is much more to learn. There is always more to learn, yet there is a point at which the pilgrim soul can see itself not only as a student but also as a teacher, not only as a member of the congregation, but as a minister, not only as one who comes to the table asking to be fed, but as one who moves into the kitchen and makes sure that the feast is prepared.

This instrument has been saying lately that if ever there was a time to be steadfast it is now, and this thought, that you are a nation of priests, that you are a holy people, is along those lines. When you seek, when you learn, you develop a responsibility to share what you know, to live what you know, to express what you know in your daily life. Perhaps it is nothing more than a smile, a positive reaction to a negative situation, a word dropped at the right time, a thought that helps. At a time when it is easy to give negative thoughts, finding that one positive thought is to work magic.

When people realize their power they become much more effective. And so, we would ask each of you to realize the tremendous potential within you. Realize that you are already exerting a great deal of power, so the question becomes, “What is the right use of power?” Where is the love in the situation in front of your eyes? That is the question that brings the most resonance and affords the most magic in terms of being able to effect change. More and more, allow yourself to come into the priesthood that you have so long studied for. Accept the mantle and vow to do your best to run the straight race, to be steadfast with what you believe, to find ways to share those things that only you can share, for they lie within the folds of your personality, and they are your gifts to give. Love one another. That is the heart of priesthood: to love, to bless, to witness to the Light.

Then Q’uo said that the events of terrorism of September 11 have awakened many from a peaceful sleep so that their hope and faith have been reduced, and their doubt and fear have been increased, but Q’uo also said that there was a positive side to this traumatic event that tended to unite people of various races, creeds, or colors into a feeling of sympathy and solidarity with each other. Then Q’uo suggested that we should take a moment and consider the thoughts that we have had for this day and then ask ourselves: “Were I a priest would I have been content with these thoughts, these actions? Would I have been content with my day, with my service, with my walk? Would I have felt that I had touched into the presence of the one infinite Creator?” because as we awaken and seek the truth, we discover that there is always more to learn as we evolve from a student to a teacher, to a minister, and that which could be called a priest that joins with others to form a nation of priests. Q’uo went on to say that as we are part of a nation of priests that we have a responsibility to share what we know with others in whatever way presents itself to us because we have access to a great deal of power that can work magic in negative situations. Q’uo completed their response by saying that since we have this power we need to consider the right use of power that would recognize that every moment contains Love that we can use in a magical way to join the priesthood to share our gifts and to love each other because that is the way of the priest: to love, to bless, and to witness to the Light. On September 18, 2005, Q’uo spoke of how we have come to bear witness to the Light:

You did not come to add to the sorrow and the distress of this environment. Rather, you entered incarnation with a firm intention of being a part of the lightening of planet Earth at this time. You came to offer a local habitation to the ineffable and illimitable values of compassion, wisdom and unconditional love.

It could be said in a way that you came to save the world, and yet you did not in any way say to yourself, “I have to come to save the world.” What you said to yourself, was, “I come to bear witness to the Light and the Love of the One whom I follow, that Logos that is the Creator.” What is it to bear witness to the light? What is it to follow the embodiment of Love? It is certainly no tangible thing. It is, however, more real to you than your body and closer to you than your breath.

Energy expenditure is only possible, in terms of your present illusion, when there is a local habitation for that energy. Thusly, have you come into manifestation as a mind, body, and spirit which serves the Creator. To move to the depth of such energy expenditure and to investigate its Source, one must apply to the Creator Itself.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We leave this instrument in love and in light and in thanks. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am with this instrument. We greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to ask if there might be any further queries upon the minds of those present to which we may give our response. Is there another query at this time?

S: I’ll start off. Recently I got a book from Carla called The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. It was interesting reading. The fellow seemed to ascend during his lifetime, and I was wondering if you could tell me what he is doing now and what kind of service he is performing?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that this entity is one who has become that which you would call a source of channeled information. However, the contact which this entity has made is with a group of entities who seek in what may be called a solitary fashion, shall we say; that is, they seek specifically the kind of information which is contained within this volume and are a portion of this entity’s larger family of seekers. Thus, the work of this entity continues in another form, always seeking to give information which is of service to those who are interested in the kinds of mysteries and riddles that the secret or occult endeavors produce. Is there a further query, my brother?

S: There is another book which I got from Carla, The Hathor Material. I guess these were fourth-density beings who came either before or after Ra, in Egyptian times. Maybe you could tell me something of the service of this group?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Again ,the information that you seek in this area is as broad ranging as a race of entities can produce through their experience, their seeking, and their service. We could only give a brief description without moving into many areas of interest which would consume a great portion of your time. The entities of the Hathor race were those who, as did those of Ra, make contact with various cultures of this planet’s history, most notably those of the Egyptian culture, and this contact was not just one period or point in your past but has been that of a continual nature. Some aspects of this contact became more noteworthy or widespread than others. These entities were most helpful in planting the seeds of the concept of unity and infinity within the Egyptian culture which allowed those of this culture to be readied for consideration of the Law of One. Thus, the entities of the Hathor race worked in conjunction with those of Ra in order to allow an expansion of the concepts in the philosophical or spiritual realms of the Egyptian culture so that there was seen to be not just many gods or powerful forces at work in the universe about these entities, but that there was truly one Creator from which all else sprang. This was a revolutionary concept, shall we say, for those of the Egyptian culture. Is there a further query, my brother?

S: The last question would be do you have any suggestions on different meditation groups that have reached out to each other? How can they share information and service?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Truly, that which you do is that which is helpful: to communicate with each other, to share the information which you find of value with others who have such to share with you as well. The ability of each entity that is desirous of serving others actually to do so is dependent only upon the passion that each has within the heart, within the mind, within the will to be of such service. For as the will is set upon a course, so is a way made that the will may manifest as it is formed within the heart, mind, and soul, the very essence of the entity. Is there a further query, my brother?

S: Not from me. Thank you.

T: I have a question. A couple of weeks ago N noticed white light coming from my knee when I twisted it in bed. J had a dream about that a few nights later and got the message that this was piezo-electric energy that was coming from the crystallized arthritis in my knee. It has to do with crystals having pressure exerted on them. Could you tell me anything else about this? How can I use this energy, if indeed I am supposed to use it?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. As you are aware, the crystalline formation is that which is composed of Light in a certain field or form. As one applies energy, or force, to a crystal this

Light energy expresses itself, or, quite literally, moves from the crystalline form in a fashion that may be perceived by those who are sensitive to the movement of subtle energies. That this occurred when you applied pressure to your knee is the result of the various secondary and tertiary energy center formations contained within the knee, the wrist, the elbow and the ankle that correspond to the primary energy centers or chakras that are located within the finer formation of the physical body, from the base chakra to the crown chakra. The energy which expressed from your knee location was that which has a relationship to the health of that portion of your physical vehicle, there being some imbalance in that area at this time in the form of what you may call the arthritis or bursitis. These are not absolutely correct terms but will suffice for the nonce.

The use of such energies is, to our knowledge, not specific to the physical vehicle itself but to the regaining of the health or balance of energies within this portion of your physical vehicle. Thus, to utilize this energy most effectively one would need to engage in a program of meditative visualization that would allow you to see with your inner eye the overall experience of catalyst that has led to this particular imbalance in your knee. This is a product of the process of ageing and is a primary source of the catalyst with which you now deal. Is there a further query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo. We thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

C: I have one from B. He asks “What do wanderers expect of the Earth?” And the second question is “What is the society and cultures of the wanderers like?”

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Those who have entered the Earth environments from those realms of higher densities are those who have left experiences which are far more harmonious and in touch with the unity of all creation than the Earth environment is found to be at this time. Therefore, the entities whom you may describe as wanderers are oftentimes, upon the discovery of their own nature, quite discouraged when viewing the environment which they now find themselves incarnated within in order to serve and to learn, for your third-density experience at this time, near harvest, is that which is quite confused in its overall orientation. There is found within most cultures of this planetary sphere a great deal of disharmony and even the bellicose nature being expressed upon a daily basis, not only between those entities you call the nation states but also within each entity in its relationship to other individuals within its daily round of activities. Thus, the experience many wanderers find, when they have discovered that which they have come to do, is one of bewilderment, of confusion…

[Tape is changed.]

I am Q’uo, and am once again with this instrument. Is there another query at this time?

N: Could I personally thank them for the inspiration and devotion that they have given us?

I am Q’uo, and we are grateful to be able to do so, my sister. Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: Thinking about the question of joining with other groups and sharing, and thinking about the work I do each week writing people with these kinds of concerns, I feel that since this is an illusion we are connecting on the inner planes, and we are together on the inner planes, and we don’t have to worry about that. I have this sense when I am writing the people that I work with through the mail that it is like I am doing two things. I am doing the individual sharing, and listening, and communion, and communication. I feel an energy exchange being co-created with the other person and me, whatever we have to teach each other and whatever we have to learn from each other. At the same time that it is helping me or the other person it seems like it is creating the channels of communication for fourth-density positive. We are doing work at this time on the soul level, and we don’t even know that we are doing it on a conscious level. Could you speak to that?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, as each entity engages in such communication it is as though a muscle that has not been used previously is now being exercised. As one gains in the strength of sharing what is in one’s heart then there is brought forth from that heart more and more information, inspiration, and direction, not only for the entities with whom you communicate but a great deal more in the sense of the numbers of entities who share these concerns. As you are able to open yourself in communication with others you allow these others to share that energy and to move the energy in a spiral fashion, much as the Light of the one Creator seeks to return to its source in the upward spiraling line of light. So, as you are able to share the inspiration that is drawn from you by the questions of others this is as a seed. It is planted not only within the heart of those with whom you communicate but within the inner sense of the self of humanity. As one learns, so do all have the potential to learn that which one has learned. Indeed, all are portions of the one Creator, cells within the body of the one Creator. And as one is enriched, so are all. Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: What is the Merkaba? M wants to know more about the Matrix of the Spirit, the Potentiator of the Spirit and how to use the Potentiator of the Spirit to work with these energies that have been archetypally jump-started with 9-11. I can refer her to the works of Drunvalo Melchizadek if you want to focus on the latter portion of the question.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. It would indeed be our recommendation that the reference to the one known as Drunvalo Melchizadek be made for the one known as M in this area, for it is indeed a large area of study and we would not be able to do it justice with the energy that begins to dwindle within this instrument’s vehicle.

As far as the second and third queries, we also feel that this is a large area of study in which there needs to be a further refining of the query, for there is a great deal of information that could be given here as well. We shall satisfy ourselves and hopefully begin to satisfy the one known as M by suggesting that the nature of the spirit itself is that which is immobile in that it does not move in the same fashion as does the physical vehicle or the mental vehicle but is that which is. The spirit of each entity which moves within the third-density illusion is that which is drawn from infinity. There is the body of the one Creator which may be seen as the creation itself. There is that from which the body is made, that which we find the ones known as Ra referred to as the unpotentiated intelligent infinity. This is the infinite source which each of your entities is able to make contact with, when the higher self is realized at any time within the third-density experience.

We realize that this does not speak specifically to various portions of the spirit archetypes that are described in the system of study called the tarot which the one known as M has queried concerning. However, we feel it is well to begin this study with a basic foundation of information that is able to include the nature of infinity as being that which is the basic source for each finite expression of the one Creator known as a mind/body/spirit complex. We apologize for being short of information in this regard, but we find that the energies and the concentration of this instrument are less than adequate at this time for giving further specific information. Thus, we would recommend that there be one final query before the ending of this session of working.

Carla: In truth, Q’uo, I would suggest that we end the session now because we have gained so much, and I wasn’t able actually to read M’s question as she wrote it. I think the energy of that question and the thirst that she had for that question really wasn’t there, so I will refocus for next time. A flashlight would help I believe. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to you as well, my sister. At this time, we would take this opportunity to express our gratitude to each present for inviting our presence this day in your circle of seeking. It is a great privilege for us to be able to join you here, in your hearts, in your minds, and in your seeking for that which is known as the truth. We truly enjoy these gatherings and are unable to express adequately our gratitude to you, but we are most thrilled to be able to join you at any time. At this time, we would take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I re-recorded Chapter 15 of The Crucifixion of Esmerelda Sweetwater, and while I was upstairs I cleaned Benny’s apartment by using the carpet sweeper on the rug in the hall. Then I swept up the kitty litter in the room where Benny has two litters boxes. Then I used the dust mop in all three rooms and the hall.

This afternoon I went back upstairs and re-recorded Chapter 16 of The Crucifixion of Esmerelda Sweetwater. Then I went outside and picked up a lot of small tree limbs that have blown down from the rain overnight and the strong winds today. I was able to fill another garbage can with them.

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

December 29

Blessings

We of the principle of Love are with you and we greet you in the name of Love: Love unconditional; Love divine; Love infinite.

It is sometimes difficult in the daily round to perceive the glory of the creation. Take time this day to touch in mind and heart the beauties of scenery, character, grace, and wit which refresh the weary soul.

Indeed, there are naught but blessings for the faithful. And all those things which seem difficult are blessings, much as the life experience itself, though difficult, is indeed a time of blessing, learning and achieving for the spirit within.

Let not those things which are below lose the reflection of that which is divine. For all things are instinct with the divine life of unconditional and perfect Love.

We leave you in the name of Jesus Christ, in that Love and peace, to create your experience this day as one of blessing and affirmation, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Mediation 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 October 21, 2001:

Our question today has to do with fear. Before September 11th, everybody had the normal fears of having enough money, food, friendships, harmonious work relationships, and so forth. Now there seems to be a general tenor for many people of a foreboding, a fear, that there might be more attacks, that we are not safe, that we are losing our freedoms, that something is going to get us. We are wondering if Q’uo could give us some information concerning how we can handle our fears? How can fear best be handled by the sincere spiritual seeker? Is there a way of changing our attitudes, our behavior, our thinking? We would appreciate whatever Q’uo has to say.

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as the Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we are. We want to thank you for gathering this afternoon and for calling us to your circle. We want to thank you for your seeking hearts ,and your thirst for truth, and for creating the atmosphere for such thoughtful comments as we are able to make about the interesting subject of fear. We are very happy to share these thoughts with you with the one request, as always, that each use her own discrimination and select those thoughts which may have value for you, leaving aside the rest.

Fear is a four-letter word, as this instrument would term it. The conversation before this meditation brought up the question of how fear could possibly be love, and perhaps that is where we shall start. Often it is helpful to move back to material that seems very simple and very obvious, yet within it lies the end of a string that can get very tangled. Yet if you tug at it from the end of its origin it unravels far more easily than if the attempt is made to tug on the string of fear past the tangle-point in the present moment, where the fear is living. So let us move back to the beginning of this particular string of reason and concept and gaze at love itself and what we think about love.

Love is another four-letter word. It is a very difficult word to deny knowledge of by anyone in any density, yet certainly within your density the word has so many overtones and undertones because of constant usage to mean several quite different kinds of affection that it is a difficult word to use precisely. When we speak of Love, we are speaking of that which is the essence of the Creator. The Love of which we speak is far more powerful, far more coherent, shall we say, far more crystallized than the love of family or mates or even the overriding love of brotherhood and humankind. Love, as we speak of it, is not simply an emotion but, rather, an utterly coherent Thought. It is a Thought that is so powerful that it has created all that there is. This Logos which we call Love, this living entity that is the Creator and includes the created, is an infinite concept. Indeed, one word for Love is intelligent infinity. The essence of Love lies in this infinity and in its intelligence which is the intelligence of the Creator.

This creative Thought, by the action of Free Will, by the indwelling of possibility, has chosen to create Light. Using this building block, which is the very fabric of space and time, the Creator has builded a universe. All that therein is, is made of Light. All that is Light was created by Love. Consequently, all that is experienced in the creation is one thing, and that is Love. No matter how distorted that energy, its substance is the same energy, the same ancestry as the lightest and brightest of energies. All positive and negative-seeming appearances, no matter how far from Love and Light they seem to be, are still made up of Love. Just as that which is new can become old quickly, just as that which is whole can become broken in a heartbeat, the creations of the Father within your experience all have a great deal of plasticity. Each of you is an agent of this Creator with a certain degree of latitude in creating the sub-universe which is your personal reality. Each of you, then, is a creature compounded of Love, moving and having your being within an energy field that is made of Love and shaped by your distortions of that Love. Each of you comes into contact with a varying number of other energy fields, whether people, groups of people or societies. All of these energy fields have their being within the larger energy field which is the Creator. And this is true whether gazed at from the perspective of third density or from a perspective of higher densities. Because of our experiences within higher densities, certainly we experience a different universe in terms of what we sense and see. And yet we too see the interplay of fields of energy and know that all truly is one.

To move a little further into the question of fear, if you will think for a moment of your energy body, you may see that each center of energy within your body is vulnerable to distortion in a particular way, and we use that term, distortion, to indicate fear. For fear is a very common distortion of love. Within the red-ray the energy tends to be blocked if there is a fear of survival. Within the orange ray in the lower belly the natural distortion of that energy comes with the experience of attempting to relate to other energy fields, to other people. When there is a difficulty and there seems to be a threat from the personal relationship, this lower belly energy can be blocked or otherwise uncomfortably distorted. In the upper part of the belly, in the solar plexus, the yellow-ray energy center can easily be blocked by fears having to do with the family, the society, one’s place within that family or society; in short, one’s dealings with the larger groups that go beyond personal relationships and move into the roots of being, the family, the mated relationship, and so forth. And a great deal of that which many are experiencing during this particular autumn season among your peoples has to do with the energies that became manifest on the 11th of September of this year. These are basically yellow-ray fears, and the solar plexus of many, many entities within your culture has been punched, shall we say, hard and given the opportunity to choose fear, not just once but many times.

The group question for this session was: “We are wondering if Q’uo could give us some information concerning how we can handle our fears? How can fear best be handled by the sincere spiritual seeker? Is there a way of changing our attitudes, our behavior, our thinking? We would appreciate whatever Q’uo has to say.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that fear and love were four letter words, and they said that the word love has many meanings in the third density, and they wanted to define the Love that they were talking about as the Love of the Logos, the infinite Thought of Creator which has created all things. Q’uo went on to say that the Thought of the Creator has used the power of Love to create the universe out of Light so that all that is experienced is Love whether it appears to be positive or negative. Q’uo continued by saying that each of us is an energy field made out of Love that is distorted by our perceptions of Love, and we are constantly coming into contact with other energy fields of individuals or groups which have their being within the energy field of the Creator, and this is true whether in the third density or any of the higher densities. Then Q’uo returned to their discussion of fear and said that each of our energy centers is subject to the distortion of fear that can be seen as catalyst causing us to fear for our survival in the red ray, the orange ray fear arising from a personal relationship, or the yellow ray fear arising from the fear of larger groups. On April 2, 1995, Q’uo described how our energy field works:

These various fields seem very real, yet scientists can explain that there is no mass involved, just an arrangement of energies. Each self-conscious person is an energy field, then, which vibrates at a certain complex of levels in a characteristic way. The metaphysical identity of each person is this complex of vibrations which is the signature of each evolving self-conscious entity. So, within your density it is impossible to see that there is no separation between the clothes and the body, the body and the seat, the seat and the chair, the chair and the floor, and so forth. All these things appear separate. However, in any sense beyond energy fields there is no separation.

When fear closes or even partially blocks the energy that is flowing through the energetic body, energy moving into the heart becomes less and less, depending upon how bad the blockage is. Consequently, the natural effect of allowing fear into the energy body in any settled way is to close the heart. When the heart center is not receiving very much energy, then it is that there is not sufficient energy to do work in consciousness. It may be said that one cannot hear when one is screaming, and in a way that is what fear does: it deafens the ears of the heart.

Yet this fear is a creature of love. And the patient seeker does have resources to bring to bear when a blockage is perceived in the energy body due to fear. These resources are generally not expressible in linear terms. When one sees fire, one has a perfect right to fear the fire. It is hot. It will burn. And it threatens the survival of the physical body. There is no linear way to suggest to someone that he not fear fire or that he not at least be cautious and careful when using fire. The feeling of being invaded, being encroached upon, being terrorized is a powerful kind of fear that moves both in red ray and in yellow ray, two primary rays that are most powerful. And we have no right to suggest to anyone that she not fear a terrorist attack. Yet in a non-linear sense if one can move back in thought, bringing the energy of the mind beyond the present moment and the present catalyst and into the realm of personal essence and consciousness, the resources are powerful and ready to help.

“For He shall give His angels charge over you to guide you in all your ways, lest you hurt your foot upon the stone.” [Holy Bible, Psalm 91:1.] This is a quotation from the holy works of this instrument, and it is true. Each entity has angelic beings attempting at all times to help and serve, to save and protect, to bless and to nurture. “Behold, I bring you good tidings.” [Holy Bible, Luke 2:10.] That is part of the Christmas story of this instrument’s Bible. An angelic being speaks to those who are afraid and says, “This is the unknown, yet it is the birth of Spirit, and this Spirit is coming into the world. And this is the Spirit of Light. So have great joy.”

In the beginning, dealing with fears, it may be necessary to move slowly to allow the fear to be with you, uncomfortably so. Sitting with that, feeling that discomfort, creates within the seeker a growing awareness of the nature of this fear. As the one known as R said, sitting at the campfire with this fear, sharing a story, enjoying the night together, allowing this situation within to be what it is, is a helpful beginning. It may seem like nothing, but simply becoming quiet and still and accepting of the feelings that are in the heart is very helpful. One thing fear greatly needs is a lack of ridicule and an honest respect. That which is fear is that which is contracting within the energy body, that which is battening down the hatches, armoring and defending. Becoming able to sit quietly and with acceptance with this fear creates within the seeker the eventual feeling that it may be acceptable to somewhat allow this contracted state to melt away. The angelic help that moves towards the seeker at a time of fear is looking for ways to help the seeker expand, and disperse, and diffuse that concentration or tangle of energy that has been created by the fear. It is attempting to send you the energies of radiated Love, that which, according to your holy works and according to us, does cast out fear.

One may look at various elements of fear in order gradually to emerge from that contracted feeling. Certainly, one energy that is prevalent in fear is the desire to control that which cannot be controlled. The issue of control is very difficult. Almost never does one have control over that which is the object of fear. That which can be controlled is generally not feared. It is precisely the inability to affect changes in something that seems desirable or undesirable that has created the fear. It is in this situation that archetypal images may help more than words, for images are not linear. Thus, when we speak of the leap of faith we speak specifically of leaping into a void, putting oneself in a situation where there is no control. But, indeed, the straightest road from fear to Love is faith, the ability to move beyond the tangle in the stream of energy, back to the source, and it is done not by moving to anything but only from the position of fear. The classic paralyzing Buddhist description of fear is a seeker hanging onto a rapidly decaying branch of a tree, on the side of a cliff, with a tiger above and a tiger below, and a chasm beneath. And the answer to that image is to let go of the branch, wave bye-bye to the tigers and welcome the abyss. There is, in faith, that realization that in no way, shape, or form can we know in a linear sense that all is well or that all will be well. And yet that is what we claim. That is what we believe, and on that we base our security and our confidence.

Then Q’uo said that when fear blocks the energy flowing through our energetic body then there is less energy available to our heart which stops our work in consciousness, but since fear is a creature of love, we have resources to work with fear that expresses mostly in the red and yellow energy centers. So Q’uo suggested that if we can move back in thought and bring the energy of our mind beyond the present catalyst and into the realm of our personal essence and consciousness the resources are powerful and ready to help us such as the angelic beings mentioned in the Holy Bible. Q’uo continued by saying that to begin to deal with the fear it is helpful if we sit quietly with the fear so that we can increase our understanding of the nature of our fear, and by giving it respect we may be able to experience it beginning to leave our energy body which has been defending against it. Q’uo went on to say that one of the causes of fear is our not being able to control what caused it, so they suggested that we use the concept of the faith of the Fool in the archetypical mind and simply take a leap of faith into Love that will unblock the energy body, and then we can know that all is well which becomes the source of our security and our confidence. On June 14, 2002, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our taking a leap of faith:

The viewpoint of the self standing upon a prominent precipice and making the self ready to take a leap of faith into that which is your destiny is the basic situation with which you deal. There is the eagerness and the anticipation of the adventure that awaits, for it is that soul’s destiny which you have created before this incarnation as the pattern for the incarnation which you feel is now ready to unfurl before you, as the marker, the guide post, the beginning of the great work.

This energy of faith seems to come to those in the darkest of hours and in the most pressing of circumstances. And it is in this sense that the tragedies of your September 11th attack may be seen to be beacons of light as well as fires of disaster. For in unsettling the smugness of perceived safety these attacks at once made it very shiningly clear to all of those who speak the word, freedom, within your cultures that a free and unfearing way of life was indeed a precious and wonderful thing, something dear and valuable and worth preserving. And this opened the energy systems of many as compassion for those who were victimized poured through half of your planetary population at once.

Times of trial and trouble such as the one you experience now are those times when fear can be most crippling and when that leap of faith can be most powerfully effective. What thoughts are you thinking at this moment? What thoughts have crossed your mind this day? What are your patterns of thought? Where do you put the value in your thinking time? And how would you choose to change those patterns of thought? Work in consciousness can be dazzlingly fast and brilliant. Instantaneous changes and transformations can occur, but in an incarnational experience the great majority of time is spent not in the flashes of illumination but in those times between, in those valleys between the mountaintop experiences. And yet those valleys can be your heaven or your hell or anything in between. Each thought that you think is at once an accident and a creation.

The challenge for the seeker is to become more and more conscious of the patterns of recurring thoughts, looking at those patterns of thought, asking the self, “Are these radiant or contracting thoughts that I am repeating? And if I would rather radiate than contract, how shall I affect the processes of this recurring thought?” It is patient and slow work to gaze at the self and yet allow the self to function naturally and fully. But there is an interplay constantly going on between the accidents of creation and that which you bring to creation that transforms those accidents. You are part of what happens to you. The thoughts which you habitually think create an atmosphere in which you may see something completely differently than someone else may see the same thing. To another person that sight may be frightening. To you, that sight may be quite tolerable. The difference is in the attitude, and work can be done on that attitude, not in a weekend, not because of one book, not because of one teacher, not because of one idea, but over a period of time in which the seeker has been thoughtful persistently.

At the heart of fear is a situation which at once defines your experience and is irrelevant to your experience, and that is your physical life. The root fear, the fear that closes red ray, is the fear of survival. Within your physical incarnation you shall never be free of the fear of death, for death is inevitable. From dust was the body created, and to dust shall the body return. Once it is seen clearly and at a basic level that this physical death is an illusion, then there is much less distortion and contraction possible. But it is seldom given to the seeker to come into full knowledge of her true nature. Seldom is it that he can see the inevitability of this revival of consciousness through the death of the body. Insofar as it is possible we recommend daily immersion in silence because it is in that region of the self alone that the truths of the metaphysical reality can flower in such a way as to fortify the vagrant imagination and strengthen the ability to have patience with the self and with circumstances that are other than you would wish them to be. To see all of these elements of your personal story as simply what they are is a powerful resource. To know that faith can change that story is a powerful resource also.

Now Q’uo said that it is often in the darkest hours such as the September 11 bombing of the World Trade Center that the concept of faith that a way of life without fear is a wonderful thing and worth preserving, and it opened the hearts of half of our planet’s population in compassion for those who were victimized. Q’uo went on to say that dealing with this type of situation is a time when fear can be most crippling, and when that leap of faith can be most powerfully effective as we entertain thoughts such as: “What thoughts have crossed your mind this day? What are your patterns of thought? Where do you put the value in your thinking time? And how would you choose to change those patterns of thought?” Q’uo said that these questions can create mountaintop transformations or valleys of despair, and we are part of what happens to us because the thoughts which we habitually think create an atmosphere in which we may see something differently than someone else so that the difference is in our attitude, and we can work on that attitude over a period of time in which we have been thoughtful and persistent. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that at the heart of fear is our red ray concern of the death of our body because it is not always apparent to us that this physical death of our body is an illusion, so Q’uo suggested that we use daily meditation to enhance this metaphysical truth and give us more patience with ourself and difficult circumstances, and know that they are a powerful resource which we have, and that our faith can change that story is also a powerful resource. On August 9, 2002, Q’uo described how the physical death of our body is an illusion:

The learning within third density does not stop until the breath is removed from the body, and the consciousness moves on from the physical body to that which this instrument would call Etheria through the processes of the death of the body.

It is as though there were a certain amount of food that is on the table, and the food will continue to be brought to the table until the meal is over. When the meal of life is over, the Creator calls the soul out of incarnation and into the beginning of its next experience. Once this incarnative process has been accomplished, once the plan has been completed, the spirit moves on, freely, easily, indeed effortlessly.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo, and we thank this instrument as we transfer. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time we would ask if there might be any further queries to which we might speak.

T: I believe I have asked this before, but it has got a little more intense. Basically, how do you go about helping someone when there are other people involved and possibly you will hurt them by helping the other person? I would appreciate whatever comments you might be able to make.

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. We would suggest that it is often helpful, in a situation in which there are many considerations affecting the service that one wishes to offer, to spend as much time as possible in meditation, not just to find the center of self and to make that kind of renewing connection which is always helpful, but, while in meditation, to explore the avenues available. Imagine one course of action that is perhaps to help as you are hoping to be able to help, to carry this out in your mind as far as you may, and to attempt to examine the repercussions of one’s assistance. For a few periods of meditation, perhaps for as long as a week, each day, consider this possible avenue to be that course which you shall follow. In each meditation perform the service as you imagine it. Imagine how it will be received, and continue in this fashion until you feel that you are aware of this course of action and its ramifications. Then perhaps for another week, each day, take the opposite course of action, which perhaps shall be inaction. Imagine the repercussions. Be as thorough as you can. Experience this course as fully as the first. Then, after you have completed both courses of action and inaction, look within your heart to that to which you feel most committed. Is there a further query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I’d like to ask two questions from Dr. C. E. One is, “Is there a sizeable asteroid called the Death Rock or Mynra on its way to Earth on a collision course?”

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. At some point in the future of this sphere perhaps there shall be such an event. We are currently unaware of such. Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Yes. What effort, method or means could be employed by humans or others that would result in the U.S. government bringing to light all their secret agreements with all non-human sentient beings, including channeled sources, groups, or agencies which the government has listened to?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that the probabilities of both queries are almost identical. Is there another query?

Carla: No. I think that is enough of that kind of question. I don’t want to detune the contact. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo, and we are grateful for your efforts on this entity’s behalf. We apologize for our lack of information in these areas. We do not necessarily dismiss such inquiries as those of small value but can see little possibility for either occurring. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I would just follow up by asking if you would like to comment on this kind of specific question and how it affects a channeling group and a channel such as this one, with Jim and me as instruments and you on the other end? I would welcome any thoughts that you would have on that since all of Dr. E’s questions are specific.

I am Q’uo and we appreciate your query, my sister, for it gives us the opportunity to comment on the nature of queries which are offered to us. We are, as you are aware, happy to give our opinions in those areas of our expertise which are primarily those of the metaphysical nature, the process and proceedings of the rate of spiritual evolution, the ability to open the heart in love, for this is the primary reason and activity for which each took incarnation. While in the physical vehicle operating within third density it is often easy to become interested in areas which are of momentary interest. And we say momentary realizing that for many of your peoples there are years spent pursuing such specific information. It is our hope that entities that are engaged in such activity will at some point realize the futility of seeking this kind of information. For even if one had each answer there would be little value to the personal or general evolution. The information which we seek for ourselves and which we seek to share with others is information of a lasting value: that which is important to one’s spiritual journey now and ever. There is a great deal of information which seems important for the moment, for it is full of the drama of your third-density illusion. Who did what to whom and why? And how? Yet how much more important is how can one love in this situation or that situation? We are always appreciative of those entities who seek beyond the illusion, beyond the seeming importance of trivial events that so congest your days and minds. For it is those who can penetrate beyond the veil and the illusion that shall eventually find the heart of their journey.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you, Q’uo.

I am Q’uo, and again we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo and we would like to take this opportunity to thank each for inviting us to join your circle of seeking this day. It is always a great privilege to be able to do so. We would again remind each that we do not wish to present any stumbling block for any seeker’s spiritual journey. Any word we have spoken that does not ring of truth to you, please disregard it immediately, saving only those which do have that special ring of truth. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. We shall take our leave at this time of this instrument and this group. We leave you in the love and the light, the peace and the power of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop at Feeder’s Supply to buy some cat food for Bosco. My next stop was at the vet’s to pick up some meds for Bosco. My third stop was at Speedway to buy five gallons of regular gasoline for my lawnmower. My fourth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy some non-food items.

This afternoon I walked around the yard to pick up some small tree limbs that came down in recent rains and filled a garbage can with them.

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

December 28

Let Jesus’ Heart Be Yours

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

All praise and glory be to the Lord of creation! Imagine the immensity of the galaxies, the infinity of the reaches of orderly, free-wheeling space and see in this immensity the great glory of the Holy One.

Know that you are part of that glory, for you, too, are a creation of the holy Father and a child of the Creator of all things.

Let Jesus’ heart be yours, then, and let the glory of the Father come upon you like the fire of the spirit of Jesus; move along your limbs like fire; move along your lips like fire, that you may utter those things which may be of service and that you may reach your hands in that same service, therefore adding to that great glory which daily grows, the glory of God in Christ.

May you be today a servant of Love itself. And may Love change the face of the earth.

In Love, joy and peace, we leave you. 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. The Q’uo quote today comes from October 7, 2001:

The question today has to do with the healing meditations that you recommended a couple of weeks ago in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11 and various other places on the planet which are full of anger, and war, and hatred, famine, poverty, disease, and so forth. We would like to know a couple of more ways that a person could use to send love and light to all the areas, the people, the places that need it.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle Q’uo. Greetings, love and light to you. The love and the light of the infinite Creator to you this beautiful autumn evening. What a pleasure it is to rest in meditation with each of you and to join your circle of seeking. We greatly thank you for the privilege of being called to your group, and, as always, we would simply ask that as we offer our ideas, that each be confident in her own powers of discrimination. If an idea or thought seems resonant to you, by all means, we offer it as our opinion and our best answer but not as authority. If it does not interest you, then by all means lay it aside and move on. We thank you for that discrimination because that allows us to express ourselves with the most accuracy that we can through this instrument without abridging the Law of Confusion.

It is a pleasure to speak with you concerning the question of how to be instruments for the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is a most central and key question for us as well as for you. We have long hoped to offer our part in positively affecting the process of the birth of fourth density positive upon your planet and among its peoples, so we, too, are focused in our own ways on the questions of how to offer Love and Light to the planet and to its peoples. Obviously, our current solution is communication within the rather narrow confines of a meditation which has a trained channel of the type such as this instrument and the one known as Jim are. This enables us to offer impressions and to tell stories as the one known as S suggested, to weave tapestries and structures of words that may constitute resources for you, as you think about these questions that are infinite in their possibilities for fruitful contemplation and further realization and understanding, if we may use that term.

This communication of ours is bound in silence. It is silence that fuels the channel, silence that fuels the desire of those present, and silence that enables that desire to be honed. It is silence that enables the self to be known to itself. It is in silence that trust and faith abound. It is in the shared silence of prayer that miracles happen. Prayer is a word that has emotional overtones for many, and yet we use prayer not only for formal orison and for words beseeching the Almighty in the traditional sense of prayer, but also prayer as entering the silence, prayer as practicing the presence of the one infinite Creator. It is easy to open to the self an empty room by silence. It is more fruitful to visualize or to realize that room within that is the room of prayer, shall we say, or the room of silence as a room that has atmosphere and person, in that it has location within that person that you are most deeply are. It is like the sanctuary that is in the very heart of the temple that the priest may enter for private moments, those moments which fuel that ministry that serves others. For each of you is a temple and a priest within the temple. The temple is that body, and that personality, and those gifts. The priest is the consciousness within that directs that building and its stewardship, the disposition of the talents and treasures of the temple and the use and aid of those faculties of being that fuel the ministry.

Eachpriest needs to spend time in that sanctuary that has to do with no one but the self and that connection that is sacred between the self and the infinite Creator, between the loved and the lover, between the spark and the source of that spark, that great fire, that great Light, that great Love, that great Thought that is the one infinite Creator. It is helpful to picture entering, not that empty room of impersonal prayer, but a very personal room that is the heart of self and in which there waits the figure of the Creator as the Creator would appear to you. Many see the Creator as Father. Many see the Creator as Mother. Some see the Creator as the Christ, as does this instrument. Whatever that image is, realize that the Creator is waiting for you there, and that you go to be with your true self when you enter the sanctuary of silence.

This enables the basic lining up of the energy body so that the silence may be offered and may be used to the Creator and for the use of the Creator. For meditation itself is something that feeds upon itself. There is the intention to meditate which becomes the meditation, which becomes the intention to meditate, which becomes the meditation. The one known as T was quite correct in stating that it matters not the perceived degree of efficacy achieved by the meditator or the one who prays. What matters is that the entity remembers that the entity come into remembrance of that sanctuary, that infinite Creator, that presence that touches the life and in so touching the life creates the life for it.

Wewill speak to some extent about various techniques, but first we would like to say that beyond any technique of meditating, visualizing, and sending light to a certain concern, there is the simple truth that as this instrument’s Psalm says, “Send forth your Spirit, and I shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the Earth.” As each of you comes to that sanctuary, comes to that door of spirit, enters through it and practices the presence of the infinite Creator each of you is coming into his own higher self and is filling out and fleshing out a nature that is already there, that has been there before the world was. Each of you is a spark of the Creator. Each of you has within you that Spirit which has the genius to know what is needed in a particular moment. The greatest and most courageous feat of faith is a surrender to that Spirit and to that Spirit’s will for you. And that in itself is a prayer. “Send me forth. Create me. Play on me as you play on the face of the deep and create that which is a new world, that which is a new me. Let me be, for the first time, fully my true self. And let that true self become full enough of the higher aspect of self that it irresistibly begins to radiate.”

The group question for this session was: “The question today has to do with the healing meditations that you recommended a couple of weeks ago in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11 and various other places on the planet which are full of anger, and war, and hatred, famine, poverty, disease, and so forth. We would like to know a couple of more ways that a person could use to send love and light to all the areas, the people, the places that need it.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they too were seeking how to be of service to our planet and its people and have chosen to communicate their thoughts that might give us resources to use on our spiritual journey, and they also said that their service utilized the silence because: “It is silence that enables the self to be known to itself. It is in silence that trust and faith abound. It is in the shared silence of prayer that miracles happen.” They went on to say that their prayers used words to ask God for assistance, and they also suggested that we could use the silence of the temple within us that is our body, our personality, and our gifts to practice the presence of the Creator because we are priests that can use our temple within us to serve others. Q’uo continued by saying that we need to experience that sacred connection between our self and that great Light, that great Love, that great Thought that is the one infinite Creator. Then Q’uo said that meditation uses the energy body to contact the Creator, and what matters is that we remember that in that sanctuary of the infinite Creator the Creator’s presence touches our life, and by touching it creates life for us. Q’uo said that as we enter that sanctuary and practice the presence of the infinite Creator we are coming into our higher self, and we are fleshing out the nature of our being that has existed before the world was, and we should surrender to the will of the Spirit with the prayer: “Send me forth. Create me. Play on me as you play on the face of the deep and create that which is a new world, that which is a new me. Let me be, for the first time, fully my true self. And let that true self become full enough of the higher aspect of self that it irresistibly begins to radiate.” On January 14, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our true self:

There are many words among your peoples to describe this basic inalterable reality from which all things spring. Among those words we choose Love. The Love of the one infinite Creator is a vibration, a Logos, if you will, and that pure Love has generated that which you call Light in order to create a manifested world. You are made of Light which has been regularized and built upon. Within your essence, unchanged and unchangeable, resides this vibration, this Logos. This is your true self. That true self peeks up into the passing days like the tip of a great iceberg, barely clearing the water, yet being a mighty mass below the surface. Indeed, all that your people’s tend to think of as their identity, all were created and will cease to be.

As the one known as T noted, even a tiny bit of doing this, of allowing the heart to become open, and golden, and flowing, creates a joy and a blessing that is often startling. It is not that you are going in search of joy. It is not that you are attempting to create bliss. It is simply that you are attempting to line up the energy body, balance it, open it and ask it to work. Ask, shall we say, the Holy Spirit, the one infinite Creator, your guidance, however you frame your processes of communication with the divine, to make you an instrument of His peace. Each of you is a crystal instrument and truly it is not necessary to know precisely how you are creating the melody of love, how you are shaping that instrument which is your crystal being so that it is able to transmute, intensify, and anchor into the planetary vibration the infinite Light and Love of the one Creator. It is only necessary that you surrender to that intention. The remaining details are useful, but they are more useful for the linear mind than they are in terms of the metaphysical.

In terms of the metaphysical, the clumsy and awkward attempts of sincere people are far more persuasive than the sophisticated, easily spoken and roundly shaped phrases of faith that do not come from the heart. It is not necessary to be clever, articulate, or even to have words. What is necessary is that there be a process that is passionately being pursued whereby the seeker is seeking along the path of spiritual evolution. The desire to serve creates the opportunity to serve. The opportunity to serve creates the means to serve. The means to serve flow through the instrument and out into the world. Thusly, the main focus of the crystal is to be a good crystal, to open the self as a crystal, to give the intention of service, to give the intention of placing time in the silence for this service and to be persistent about offering this service in a way that speaks more and more to the question of how high an amperage is this light? How high in amperage are you as a crystal? How committed are you to this process of patient, dogged persistence, no matter what your self-concept is: to that which is most effective metaphysically. Those intentions are powerful. They are your strength, not any self-perceived skill or lack of it with entering the silence, maintaining the silence, holding a visualization and so forth. These are linear details that some are quite effective at dealing with and some not so effective. This instrument, for instance, is not a skillful visualizer and, in fact, is often blocked from visualizing.

The secret to visualization is finding an image that brings forth the passion and the desire to serve and opens the heart in a certain way. We speak now not of visualizations in the white magical sense but visualizations in the sense of taking an image and sending energy into that image, attempting to build an image of light and healing. Perhaps the simplest image is the globe itself. The book cover of this instrument’s book [A Wanderer’s Handbook], which shows the globe with the sun rising behind it in that dawn of the new age that is breaking over the Earth, is perhaps a good object to take visualization from, for in that visualization there is both Light shining from the dawning of the new age upon the entire planet and the colored lights streaming into the planet which are all of the souls entering the Earth plane that wish to help the Earth at this time.

Realize that much Light is being sent to this planet at this time, and when the visualization of this globe is done it is not a visualization that you have alone. For many, many entities visualize the basic globe and send Light to that globe until it is bright all over. There are ways to embroider this basic image of the globe in space and the Light coming to it and dawning over it that, perhaps, are more personal. One may picture oneself as one of many beings which are weaving a net of Love and Light just like a fisherman’s seine or a butterfly net, something that moves across the entire stream, that wraps around the planet like a great, full skirt from an angel so that all of the planet is wrapped in this shining mesh that is made of individuals’ Love and Light, woven energy upon energy, sent from so many instruments of Love and Light, from so many light workers, shall we call them, into this web or net of Love

One great problem is simply convincing your planet that you truly care. There has been a substantial amount of uncaring, neglectful and even destructive action of entities upon the Earth in ways that the one known as Jim was commenting upon earlier, creating ever-increasing lack of good environment in which various species may thrive. The sheer passion and persistence of this effort is that which the Earth will hear. If visualization is a problem, it is possible simply to speak with, to give words to, the Earth, to explain to the Earth how much She is loved by you, how much you appreciate the Earth, how much you feel in unity with the Earth, and how much you want to help Her come through this tremendously exhausting and difficult period of birth.

Then Q’uo said that we can open our heart by asking our energy body to connect with the Holy Spirit, the Creator, or our guidance system to help us become an instrument of peace as we are crystal instruments that can intensify and anchor into the planetary vibration the infinite Light and Love of the one Creator. Q’uo continued by saying that the most important thing for us to be of service to the planet is to set our intention to be of service; to set our intention of placing time in the silence of meditation for this service; and to determine how committed we are to the process of patient, dogged persistence no matter what our self-concept is to that which is most effective metaphysically because these intentions are powerful. Q’uo went on to say that another way of being of service to our planet was visualization that would create an image and send light and healing into it much like Carla’s book cover for A Wanderer’s Handbook which shows the Light of the dawning of a new age and the colored lights of the wanderers incarnating to be of service to the planet. Q’uo said that there are many unseen forces of Light that are also joining us in this process of visualization in whatever form we would like to create that would include being made of our Love and Light: “woven energy upon energy, sent from so many instruments of Love and Light, from so many light workers, shall we call them, into this web or net of Love.” Q’uo completed their response by saying that the challenge is to convince our Mother Earth that we really care about healing Her because there have been so many destructive wars and harmful actions that have negatively impacted the environment of plants and animals, so we need to be passionate in our visualizations and words to let Mother Earth know how much She is loved by us; how much we feel unity with the Earth; and how much we want to help Her come through this tremendously exhausting and difficult period of birth. In 26.30-.31, Ra spoke of planetary healing:

Questioner: And then, can you describe the mechanism of the planetary healing?

Ra: I am Ra. Healing is a process of acceptance, forgiveness, and, if possible, restitution. The restitution not being available in time/space, there are many among your peoples now attempting restitution while in the physical.

Questioner: How do these people attempt this restitution in [the] physical?

Ra: I am Ra. These attempt feelings of love towards the planetary sphere and comfort and healing of the scars and the imbalances of these actions.

We find that we need to move on to speak through the instrument known as Jim. We are watching this instrument’s energy level this day, and we feel that this is sufficient through this instrument. We thank this instrument and would transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each once again in love and in light through this instrument. We would ask if we may speak to any other portion of this query if those present would examine that which we have given and put forth any refining queries at this time. Is there such a query at this time?

Carla: Would you like to discuss any other methods of meditation and sending the light that would be options for people to use?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my sister. We are grateful that you have asked this portion of the query again, for there is indeed a variety of ways that those who wish to aid the healing of this planet and its peoples may do so. We have often mentioned the technique of visualization, as we did previously today, so we shall at this time discuss a technique which may be more helpful to those who are less skilled at the inner visualization.

When in the meditative state look at the feeling that one connects to the anguish of the world, of various locations, peoples, experiences, and so forth. This ability to perceive the difficulties which others upon this planet are experiencing is yet another means by which those who meditate with the desire to heal may connect their experience with those who need light. Indeed, all are a portion of the one Creator, and the connections that bind each together with each other entity are those which are, shall we say, submerged within the subconscious experience. It is helpful to imagine one’s own being within a certain set of circumstances, perhaps of having no home, being hungry, cold, alone, or with a great mass of other entities in similar circumstances such as is now the case in the area of the world which you call Afghanistan. Imagine what your experience would be like to be without a home, hungry, to be fearful, to be uncertain of what the next day would bring. Allow your feelings to move into those areas of your being which can appreciate this experience. These are the subconscious levels of the mind.

Experience for as long as you are able the feelings of anguish, of pain, of loss, of confusion. See with new eyes how an entity such as yourself would respond to these severe circumstances. Allow that feeling to grow within yourself until it is truly palpable. Then, from within the center of your heart, allow that quality of love/light to emanate until the previous feelings of the stress have been, shall we say, engulfed, surrounded by the love and light emanations from within not only your heart but from within the hearts of all others who meditate with you as well. Experience the outpouring of these small streams of love and light until there is a great river of love and light that completely engulfs the feeling of distress. See these feelings of the distress begin to lighten as there is sent to them those streams of hope, of faith, of support, of unity. See these threads of light weaving together, feel them joining, experience this blending of the concerns of many such as yourself for those who are experiencing extreme difficulties. Allow this feeling to remain with you for an equally long period of your meditation. Then give praise and thanksgiving to the one Creator who made all that there is the opportunity to serve the One in this manner.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: That was very interesting. It seems like it is similar to the personal balancing technique but for the planet. I guess another question that comes to my mind is one that I was talking to C about because she and S have a great number of crystals. I had imagined them sorted into colors and used like a mosaic to create a glyph, some kind of shape that would help to intensify the self as a crystal and become a larger crystal and do better light work. I had thought of the Star of David with a cross inside of it or some such symbol that had a lot of energy to it that would be helpful. What do you think of this idea to use crystals or water as a kind of accelerator to help?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The use of the crystals for enhancing the meditative practice of sending love and light where it is needed is a practice which, indeed, can be most efficacious. However, there is some skill in the use of such accoutrement for the purpose of healing. It would be our recommendation that one or more crystals be chosen for their specific feeling or vibratory nature. There are many kinds of crystals which are each unique in their qualities of being able to enhance the imaging of light. For, indeed, the crystals themselves are often referred to as frozen light. To use a great number of crystals for such an endeavor would be, in our opinion, counterproductive, for this quality of uniqueness that each possesses would work against the unified acceleration or intensification of the light which is being sent as a healing device.

We would recommend that the crystals be examined for the appropriate feeling-tones, shall we say, and those possibilities for utilization be used one after the other separately in order that the most efficacious crystal be finally chosen and used in a manner which may be likened to a resonance chamber. The crystal may be held in the hand while the meditation is undertaken. The inner visualization would need to see the crystal and the heart and the third eye working in harmony in a synchronized fashion, the thought of the need for healing being held foremost in the mind. Then the crystal may be imaged as being the medium through which the thought would be sent. And the visualization of the recipient of this light, whether it be a planet, a country, or a person, would then be seen to be bathed in this light. Thus, the thought or the image would be sent forth and enhanced by the use of the crystal in this fashion. Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: I would like to ask a couple of questions from Dr. E Are there cultures of sentient third- and fourth-density, service-to-self nature of reptilian and gray beings located in subterranean facilities or cities located in the southwest of the USA that are busy herding humans as slaves, guinea pigs, and labor?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As you are aware, we are hesitant to speak in specific terms concerning such a query, for indeed there has been a good deal of interaction between various extraterrestrial races and those of your governmental structures, both within this country and many others. The activities of such interactions and the entities involved are those which we feel are, shall we say, subsidiary to the primary effort of those entities who seek to serve the Creator in the positive sense by the opening of the heart chakra and the shining of the light of love to all who are encountered and seen as the same as self, the same as the one Creator. Thus, it would be our recommendation in this instance that the focus be removed from the fringe areas of concern and placed once again in the heart of the incarnation. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: His next question is, if so, if there are beings here which are service-to-self, what is the best way to thwart or greet their efforts?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We, again, would recommend the meditative state for any such effort to be of service to those who may be seen to be of a service-to-self nature. Those who are seen as such may also be seen as the same as those who were seen in distress; that is, there may be engendered this quality of love/light which may then be seen to be sent to these entities who are of the negative polarity so that they also are engulfed in the radiance of the noonday sun. Then this quality of love and light may also be seen to be surrounding and protecting those areas or persons that are felt to be endangered by such entities. Thus, the quality of love and light may be utilized both as a healing and as protection. Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: I think I will hold it to two questions from Dr. E. I know he will appreciate what you have said. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

S: A minor question. Carla just sent me the transcription of the first session of this fall’s meetings, and side two didn’t record. Do you ever change your mind and have the tape recorder not record, or is it just mechanical? Is there something else operating here that keeps the tape recorder from recording?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We give information and our opinions with a free and open heart. We do not change our hearts or our minds. Your recording devices are usually accurate in their functioning. However, there is occasionally the misdirection, shall we say, in the operation of such machinery. We find that this instrument is often unable to handle all the buttons and dials. However, he is diligent in his perseverance. Is there a further query, my brother?

S: We hate to lose any of your words. If there is any way that you could let us know if there is a problem with the recording devices we would appreciate that.

I am Q’uo and we are aware of your query. We are able to utilize an instrument such as this one and the one known as Carla with some difficulty, but we find that we are out of our league, shall we say, with the mechanical devices that are utilized in these sessions. We must apologize for our lack of ability to communicate with such entities. Is there another query at this time?

S: No, I guess I won’t ask you to program a VCR then. Thank you.

I am Q’uo. We thank you once again, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

C: I would like to ask about a dream that V had, that she has had repeatedly at various times in her life. She has a dream of seeing a shore and darkness upon the water, infinite sea, and then above the sea there becomes one moon, and then a second, then a third, then a fourth, all full. And then she looks and sees the moon that is creating these four moons and these four moons are reflections of it. Then the fifth moon smiles and she realizes that it is the Creator and that the Creator loves her and that everything is perfect. Then that Creator’s moon splinters into a million pieces of all different colors. She wonders if you could comment on this dream?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. In this instance we find that we may speak in a limited sense, pointing the way rather than leading. The concept of the moon is one which is, of course, central in this dream. The moon for this entity is a quality which is partaking of the feminine nature, that which is somewhat hidden and mysterious, illuminated by another source. The one known as V may look within her own experience for the recollection of the primary quality of the moon. The shattering of the Creator in the form of the moon into many colors may be seen as the many peoples and experiences which the one known as V has met or shall meet in her life pattern. The number of four also is significant. Moving from the lower to the higher in energy centers one finds that the heart is the fourth center which may be seen as a means by which the Creator may be apprehended or known by the one known as V. Each previous center or moon having distinct vibratory signatures that this entity would profit from examining. We would recommend that she be given basic information concerning these centers so that she may further contemplate the message of this dream experience.

We find that this is the extent of the information which we are able to give at this time without infringement. Is there a further query, my sister?

C: No. Thank you from V.

I am Q’uo, and again we thank you my sister. May we ask if there is a final query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and as we have apparently exhausted the queries for this session of working, we would again thank each for inviting us to your meeting this day. It is a privilege for us to be able to join you, and we commend each for the great desire of each to be of service in the healing of this planet which has brought each to this circle of seeking this day. We would encourage each to continue in these efforts, for indeed your thoughts of healing are things which are seen and felt and which have their effect upon the levels of the spirit which, indeed, is that place within each of us that enlivens our very vehicles of experience, our hearts, our minds, and our desires to learn, and to serve, and to grow from the seed of Spirit that is firmly placed within each entity’s heart. As you send love and light to any, you send it to all, and there is a kind of reverberation that feeds this process and moves it in the metaphysical sense.

We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we would take our leave of this instrument and this group at this time. We leave each, as always, in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I began my day by cleaning the sinks and shower door in my bathroom, and then I used a feather duster to dust the lower shelves in my bedroom. Later in the morning I used the vacuum cleaner to vacuum the first floor of my home.

This afternoon I went outside and went over to my neighbor’s home across the street and filled her two bird feeders with birdseed. When I got back home I got two empty garbage cans from the garage and put about three bags full of wet leaves in each garbage can to lighten the load of the large garbage can which was full of these bags of leaves after the gutters on my home were cleaned yesterday by a gutter cleaning service.

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

December 27

Where Christ Awaits You

I am of that principle known to you as Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love divine.

We find this instrument’s mind this day a muddle of year-end business: things to be done, things to finish up for the old year, things to begin for the new. Her mind is not resting in the past, or the future, or the present but footling between them, attempting to make perfect that which has already been imperfectly perceived, while the attempt goes on in the future also to shape and position each prop and piece of business, that the stage of the future may be set well and performed upon perfectly. The present moment hardly exists in such a frame of mind.

Truly we grasp that in the darkness of your winter cycle it is well to put the old to rest and to welcome the new. But this day we ask you, in the Spirit of Divine Love, to seat yourself first upon the holy ground of the present moment where Christ awaits you, meekly, humbly, and without noise, silently, in the depths of your heart, in the inner room of the present moment. This is Christ the King, kneeling patiently and waiting for you to open the door.

May this feeling of presence be with you in Love and in peace everlasting. 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 September 23, 2001:

The question today has to do with the concept of the “light-bringer,” the knowledge-bringer, whether this is Lucifer that was the knowledge-bringer or the light-bringer, or Eve who gave Adam the apple from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, we are wondering if Q’uo could give us some information about the nature of these entities, or these qualities that bring knowledge. Are these entities themselves either good or evil? How does the concept that they deliver to us give us the ability to pursue that which is good or evil, service-to-self or service-to-others? Last week Q’uo gave us some information concerning the Lightning Struck Tower which is also a concept or an image that shows light in its sudden and fiery form causing what seems to be destruction. We are wondering if there is other fruit from this destruction? Can something positive come out of the Lightning Struck Tower and, literally, the towers in New York City that were destroyed?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we are. It is a great privilege to be called to your group this week, and we thank you for the privilege of sharing our thoughts with you and for sharing this time of meditation. Each of your vibrations are beautiful to us, and we thank you for the gift of yourselves, the gift of your time, and your seeking.

We are most grateful to be able to speak with you and ask of you only that you be very careful in listening to what we have to say, for we are error-prone, those of opinion rather than of authority, seekers upon the path just as are you. And we do not want to constitute in any way a stumbling block to your seeking. Take those thoughts that appeal to you and leave the rest behind. This is the way of truth. All truth is not for all entities. There is a resonance to that truth that speaks to your own seeking and to your own situation. We ask you to trust your own powers of discrimination. For truly you have a very keen radar for truth and for falsity.

You ask this day concerning the Matrix of the Spirit and the Potentiator of the Spirit. And may we say that this is a very interesting subject and certainly one that challenges our ability to use this instrument to create a structure of sense and truth. For this is a mazed subject. The construction of archetypal images in a certain system is a tool, a resource of learning about the architecture of the deeps roots of your mind. It describes things that are impossible to put into words in terms of imagery and combinations of images. These are subjective images that are intended to act as triggers as much as patent images. They are not necessarily to be literally interpreted but to be felt, to be sensed, and to be entered into.

In the system of the images which we of the Confederation have often spoken to your group concerning, the archetypal images are divided into three groups: those that pertain to the body, those that pertain to the mind, and those that pertain to the spirit. In each of the three systems there is a matrix which is a still and unmoving structure that is a receptor web that has only very limited ability to act. What it can do is desire. It can reach. This is the nature of the matrix. It is essentially a structure into which catalyst will come and through which catalyst will be processed into experience. In these three systems the potentiator is that which is able to fertilize or to make fruitful the matrix. There is a dynamic between matrix and potentiator then. The basic dynamic is that, in the mind, the reacher and the reached; in the body, the body in constant motion, and the controller of that body; and in the spirit, the unreaching, unhasting darkness of spirit waiting for, hoping for, yearning for, and desiring information about itself. And out of the dynamic of that dark yearning comes the Potentiator of the Spirit, which is Light.

Let us take a moment to gaze at the power and the peace of this situation, of the empires of mind, and body, and spirit, of the supple and lithe connections between body and mind, mind and spirit, spirit and body. The spirit, the soul, the entity that each of you is, is a crystalline shape, a snowflake, shall we say, a beautiful crystal. Each of you is unique. Each of you has your own beauty. Each of you has your own symmetry. And within your crystal each of you is working with those perceived flaws, those clinging barnacles of matter that are not the gem. Each of you seeks the Light of Spirit to inform and advise. Each of you, then, has laid before you a tremendous range of resources upon which you can rely with your linear, intellectual mind, with all the powers of ratiocination that you have at your command, with the grace and rhythm of the pulsing body that in its instinct and in its essence is so completely aware as a second-density creature is of the Love and the Light, of the harmony and the unity of the creation and the infinite Creator. And of the tremendous strength of that creature which is the Spirit.

Thekingdom of the Spirit is a dark one. And we say this not because darkness is evil, for darkness is not evil. We say this because it is the nature of Spirit within third density to be largely impossible to see. It is dark because it must be dark, and the Light that is the Lightning Struck Tower, though it may seem radiant to the physical eyes when seen as a symbol in your World Trade Center bombing, in terms of metaphysics it is a frail and flickering candle of a lightning bolt that is all too quickly extinguished and shows all too little of the hidden landscape of the Spirit.

Each of you will spend the incarnational time that you have in this estate of peering into darkness using seemingly the dimmest of lights, occasionally receiving that Lightning, that bolt of epiphany that speaks, that is as the star that guides, that brings that moment of clarity and spiritual truth that is so blessed. Thusly the Matrix of the Spirit is called, in the tarot system, the Devil simply because the spirit seems, in its form, to be antithetical to the body. It seems that there is a tremendous sacrifice involved in moving from things of the body to things of the spirit. It seems as if one must give up the life, in a way, when one chooses the life of the Spirit because the life of the world no longer fits, no longer applies. When Light has been brought to the Spirit there is tremendous change and transformation that takes place. And there is a death process that goes on as the allegiance and the thinking of the seeker moves from one system, or realm, or kingdom to another.

The group question today was: “Last week Q’uo gave us some information concerning the Lightning Struck Tower which is also a concept or an image that shows light in its sudden and fiery form causing what seems to be destruction. We are wondering if there is other fruit from this destruction? Can something positive come out of the Lightning Struck Tower and, literally, the towers in New York City that were destroyed?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the Matrix of the Spirit and the Potentiator of the Spirit are archetypal images that describe the structure of the deep mind, and they should not be literally interpreted but should be felt and be experienced. Q’uo went on to say that the archetypal images are divided into those for the mind, the body, and the spirit, and they have little ability to act, but they can reach, and there is a dynamic between the matrix and the potentiator is that: “in the mind, the reacher and the reached; in the body, the body in constant motion, and the controller of that body; and in the spirit, the unreaching, unhasting darkness of spirit waiting for, hoping for, yearning for, and desiring information about itself. And out of the dynamic of that dark yearning comes the Potentiator of the Spirit, which is Light.” Q’uo continued by saying that each of us is a unique soul, a crystal with our own shape and beauty, and as we are working on flaws within our being we can be aided in this process by our rational mind, the Light of the Spirit, the rhythm of our body’s instincts, and the harmony and unity of the creation and the Creator. Then Q’uo said that the nature of the Spirit must be dark because the Light of the Lightning Struck Tower is dim and flickering in metaphysical terms and quickly goes out so that it shows little of the landscape of the
Spirit. So, Q’uo said that we will spend our lifetime peering into the darkness with a small candle, and occasionally we will have an experience of epiphany that brings us spiritual clarity and truth. Q’uo said that the Matrix of the Spirit is called the Devil because when Light has been brought to the Spirit there is a tremendous transformation that takes place, and there is the seeming death of the body that occurs as the thinking of the seeker moves from one realm to another. In 80.10, Ra told us why the Matrix of the Spirit is called the Devil:

Questioner: Now, the fifteenth archetype, which is the Matrix of the Spirit, has been called the Devil. Can you tell me why that is so?

I am Ra. We do not wish to be facile in such a central query, but we may note that the nature of the spirit is so infinitely subtle that the fructifying influence of light upon the great darkness of the spirit is very often not as apparent as the darkness itself.

The progress chosen by many adepts becomes a confused path as each adept attempts to use the Catalyst of the Spirit. Few there are which are successful in grasping the light of the sun. By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery.

Is this an evil Matrix? Is there something evil about the Spirit that has brought the energy of Lucifer and Satan into identification with it? We would say, no, absolutely without hesitation there is no evil whatever in the Spirit, nor is there good. But, rather, there is simply essence. There is that which is. This is how you are made. This is the way your vibrations are structured within the energy pattern or the energy field of your being. This is the way the Creator is articulated at this point in the Creator’s progress. And what you are looking at is, as this group has mentioned several times during the conversation, somewhat abstract and hard to get hold of because it is not the familiar. It is not the everyday. But, rather, it is what is moving below the surface of self in very deep portions of the self that help to shape the options that are available to each of you within the incarnation. The more that you can see into these relationships of Matrix and Potentiator of Spirit, the more hardy you may be in terms of being able to withstand and to be able to use the Light which there is because it is so precious and so rare.

Those who bring Light are, shall we say, a way or a symbol of the same thing as saying those who bring polarity. It is not precisely knowledge that the tree involved in the Garden of Eden story was bearing as its fruit. That is not it, precisely. It is not simply a body of knowledge that was forbidden. Rather, it is the essence of third density that is being talked about in this story. The creatures of Eden were basically second-density entities. They did not have free will. They did not have self-awareness. They were the created opportunities for spirit growth without the indwelling spirit. The story of the one known as Satan offering this fruit of good and evil to the one known as Eve is, as the one known as Eric points out, a delightful way of shifting the blame for the entire fall of human nature to women and that, shall we say, incorrect solution has entranced and delighted men in many different religious systems of those of your planet and has led many into sweeping generalizations concerning biases towards the feminine gender and their unworthiness which have been quite stubborn in balances within your peoples as a race.

Each of you, we find, within this circle is fully aware that this is not a correct solution. It is neither a masculine or a feminine quality, good and evil, but rather each of these genders is opportunities to learn certain lessons, and the souls that inhabit these bodies of gender are both sexes and neither sex; in other words, simply souls. But the reason, the logic behind the woman giving to the man this fruit of the tree of good and evil, this polarity, this third-density essence, is simply that in the system of archetypes the Matrix of the Mind is the unfed spirit, the unfed seeker and the Potentiator of the Mind is a deeply feminine character, the High Priestess, which represents, shall we say, the fructifying influence of the subconscious, so that the unfed mind is reaching into the subconscious for its knowledge, for its truth, for its beginning of experience. This is the only reason for this attribution of so-called evil to the feminine character. It is well, when looking at stories such as the Adam and Eve Story, to look at them in symbolic terms, in general terms, in terms that would suggest and would provoke contemplation of deeper issues.

The darkness of the spirit is like unto the darkness, the apparent darkness, of the starry heavens. As you gaze from the side of your planet out into your outer space, that thick velvet of infinite space is as are you in your spiritual aspect: an undiscovered country of hills and valleys unknown. And every place is sacred. And every place is full of information. And every place looks to be that which it is not. There is thick darkness and great depth of unknowingness to the spirit within third density. The veil of forgetting is very deep. And the life-giving Light, when it falls, yet does it not always disclose truth. And so there is a great peering into what Light there is to see beyond the falsity of the complex and intricate patterns of spirit.

Even when the veil of forgetting is lifted, even when you ascend into densities which are full of Light, yet still that Spirit is stubbornly unknown, and layers of misinformation and false patterning will fall away as the densities roll, and we find this still to be true with our selves. We find we still peel away another layer and another layer of that deception of Spirit which is part and parcel of the situation which we all enjoy as part of the Creator. It is not that the Creator intends to deceive. It is not that the Light means to be false. It is that there is so much of untold riches to the infinite Creator that It is not all articulated. There is much still for the Creator to know about Itself. And yet that seeking is a slow, slow process. For all that the Creator finds out about Itself, It finds out from you, each of you, each of us, each of all of those entities that live and move and have their being within the creation of the Father.

We find great beauty in this pattern. We do not understand it completely. As each of you works with your own spiritual journey, we ask simply that you not fear the Light-bringer who brings seeming destruction. For there must be that taken down as a preparation for that which is builded anew. There needs to be the removal of false concepts before the building of a fresh and vital concept.

Now Q’uo said that there is nothing evil or good about the Matrix of the Spirit, rather there was an essence of that which is, and this is how we are made and how our vibrations are formed within the energy field of our being and the way that the Creator is articulated at this time. Q’uo went on to say that what we are looking at in this process is difficult to describe, but it is what is moving in very deep portions of ourself that give us choices within our incarnation, and the more we can see into these relationships of Matrix and Potentiator of Spirit, the more we may be able to use the Light that is so precious and rare. Q’uo continued by saying that it was not the knowledge of good and evil that was talked about in the story of the Garden of Eden, but it was the essence of third density that was talked about as the creatures in the story were of the second density, without free will, and they had the opportunity for the growth of their spirit without the spirit being in them then, so when Satan offered the knowledge of good and evil to Eve this was a way of shifting the blame for the fall of human nature to women, and this incorrect assumption has been the reason why men of all religions have considered women as inferior to them. Then Q’uo said that this was an incorrect assumption as each soul is both male and female, and either sex as the concept of sexuality is utilized in the third density as a means of learning certain lessons that would aid in the polarization of seekers symbolized by the concepts of good and evil and the system of archetypes is the analogy for this as: “the Matrix of the Mind is the unfed spirit, the unfed seeker and the Potentiator of the Mind is a deeply feminine character, the High Priestess, which represents, shall we say, the fructifying influence of the subconscious, so that the unfed mind is reaching into the subconscious for its knowledge, for its truth, for its beginning of experience.” So, Q’uo said that this is the only reason why women are considered evil or inferior, and they suggested that when we look at stories like the Adam and Eve Story, to look at them in symbolic terms and consider looking for deeper issues. Q’uo said that our spirit is like the darkness of the starry heavens, and every place is sacred; every place is full of information; every place looks to be that which it is not. They said that the veil of forgetting is very deep, and so we look into what Light there is to see beyond the falsity of the intricate patterns of Spirit, and even when we move into the higher densities, the Light of the Spirit peels away various layers of misperception that are not meant to be false, but are means for the Creator to know Itself since there is so much rich knowledge that has yet to be revealed within each of our experiences that are part of the creation of the Father. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that: “We find great beauty in this pattern. We do not understand it completely. As each of you works with your own spiritual journey, we ask simply that you not fear the Light-bringer who brings seeming destruction. For there must be that taken down as a preparation for that which is builded anew. There needs to be the removal of false concepts before the building of a fresh and vital concept.” In 77.17, Ra spoke of the role of the light-bringer in helping third density entities to polarize their consciousness:

Let us illustrate by observing the relative harmony and unchanging quality of existence in one of your, as you call it, primitive tribes. The entities have the concepts of lawful and taboo, but the law is inexorable and all events occur as predestined. There is no concept of right and wrong, good or bad. It is a culture in monochrome. In this context you may see the one you call Lucifer as the true light-bringer in that the knowledge of good and evil both precipitated the mind/body/spirits of this Logos from the Edenic conditions of constant contentment but also provided the impetus to move, to work, and to learn.

Those Logoi whose creations have been set up without free will have not, in the feeling of those Logoi, given the Creator the quality and variety of experience of Itself as have those Logoi which have incorporated free will as paramount. Thusly you find those Logoi moving through the timeless states at what you would see as a later space/time to choose the free will character when elucidating the foundations of each Logos.  

We would, at this time, transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, pausing only to offer to the one known as M the comment that we see the wanderers among your peoples because of the overlay of the vibratory patterns of their home density. Those who are wanderers can only feel this, as you have said, rather indirectly and by inference. However, it is our feeling that all those who are awakened upon this planet are wanderers at this time and functioning as such. We would now leave this instrument in love and in light and transfer to the one known as Jim. We are those known to you as Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to ask if there might be further queries on the minds of those present. Is there another query at this time?

M: I’d like to know how the patterns of the matrix of the souls looks to you. Does it look geometric? What is it made of? What is its purpose?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The pattern of the matrix of souls who have taken incarnation and who have moved into the physical third-density for their incarnation is a pattern which is formed of Light, formed by Love, in a fashion which is useable by the mind complex for the purpose of pursuing information-gathering and decision-making, shall we say. For the Matrix of the Mind, in the system of images which you call the tarot, is a quality which allows for a nurturing of experience and the utilization of this experience in a useful manner. We would ask the questioner to query further as to more specific information.

M: I’d like to know how we can make use of it, for example. Can we visualize its form or its flow to help us learn better, or see more and make better informed choices, or heal ourselves? Things like that.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. All of which you have mentioned are possible for any seeking entity by the fruits of the seeking process. The Matrix of the Mind is a concept complex which is a tool for the seeker of truth, as are all the images of the Major Arcana of your system of tarot. For each one forms a kind of library, shall we say, that allows access to various portions of the mind itself. If we look at the mind as a jewel, each concept complex of the tarot is as a facet of this jewel. The jewel, the mind itself, is brilliant in its appearance to us, for there is light in each entity which is emanating from this jewel in such and such a fashion according to the proclivity or tendency of each seeker to seek in its own way. Thus some facets of the jewel of the mind are brighter than others and the overall balance of brilliance is that which reflects or measures the seeking intensity and efficiency of each seeker. We would see the Matrix and the other facets of the mind as avenues which a seeker may pursue in any manner chosen by free will, including each of those which you listed. Is there another query, my sister?

M: That’s all at this time.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I received a letter yesterday from Bruce Peret, and he said that the Earth had once again accepted us and wanderers in general as those whom it would accept love from and accept healing from. Can you comment on this situation with our planet and its feelings and experience right now?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The entity which you call Earth, or Gaia, is one which is in the process of its own evolution as is each entity upon it. The Earth entity at this time, realizing that it is preparing to move into a more intense portion of the birthing of a new Earth is, as we have mentioned previously, particularly vulnerable as is any woman who is about to give birth to new life. The experience of many thousands of years of difficulties between the populations of this planet has caused the entity of Earth to be, shall we say, infected with a great deal of anger and hostility, the vibrations of the bellicose actions of your peoples over a great portion of your time. This heat of anger has caused the entity of Earth to release the excess heat in various places in various manners. Those geophysical eruptions of your volcanoes, the earthquakes, and so forth have been able to release some of this buildup of heat so that the mantle of the Earth, in some places, is rearranged in a fashion which causes a great deal of physical destruction. Yet the alignment possible after such rearrangements is that which welcomes the newer vibrations of love and compassion which are now moving more fully into expression within some portions of, not only the Earth entity, but large portions of the Earth’s populations. Thus the entity of Earth has begun to vibrate more fully in harmony with both the newer vibrations of Love and compassion and those of the population of this planet which has also sought to harmonize with these vibrations as well. Thus there is, within the Earth entity, a feeling of excitement at this opportunity, of distress at the difficulty of the birth, of compassion for those who suffer, and a kind of maternal disapproval of those who yet linger in the ways of war. Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Yes, Q’uo. I would just like to ask then: is our daily meditation practice the best shot that we have at reassuring Mother Earth that we do love her and wish to help her through this birth?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We would respond by suggesting that the regular meditations, focused upon the healing of this planet and the possibility of peace for its populations, is most helpful at this time and at any time. For as one is able to see light entering into the darkened world awaiting war, there is a balancing that is given yet another avenue to enter into the Earth vibrations. There is a point of balance, a fulcrum, which you may see created by your efforts to visualize peace and healing. This fulcrum is within the mass mind, or the planetary mind, of the population of this planet. It is that new mind, shall we say, which is being born at this time as the fourth-density positive population which shall remain as the remnant in its path of evolution at some point in your future, in all probability. When groups such as this one, and many, many others around this planet, meet for the purpose of visualizing peace and healing it is as a level moving through this fulcrum, lightening the vibratory pattern that has been prevalent for a great portion of your time. We recommend that such meditative experiences be regular and include not only this country but all those who are engaged in the pursuit of war, or the destruction of fellow humans. For each entity is quite closely connected to each other entity. The concept of unity is that which eludes most peoples of your planet at this time. That concept of linkage of one to another is most important to enhance at this time so that the vibrations of healing, acceptance, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, understanding, and so forth may be injected into the peoples of the various geographical vicinities of this planet, thus strengthening the bond that each is aware of at some level of the life experience. Thus the vibrations of light sent forth in meditation move where they are needed most, into those areas of the planet and the population which are engaged in the destructive effects of separation and the thinking which brings it about. Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you. That was plenty. Thanks.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you once again, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

C: Could you say something further about the remnant that will remain here for fourth-density work?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The so-called remnant, that portion of this planetary population which shall remain with this planet, is labeled as such by many for there is in all likelihood a far greater portion of the population which shall need to find further experience within the third density in order to balance the difficult vibrations which have not allowed the graduation into the density of compassion. Thus, those who do remain and who seek in the positive sense are from various locations, shall we say, not just this third-density planet which you call Earth. For the population from this planet that will be able to welcome and enjoy the vibrations of Love and compassion is small in comparison to what this planet could comfortably welcome and stably house.

There are many entities coming from other third-density planets who have made the graduation at this time, who are incarnating early within the fourth-density experience of this planet in order to help it in its birth process. This is considered a great honor, for there is much catalyst at this time which these entities seek to utilize in a positive or magical sense; that is, the transmutation of the vibrations of separation into that which enhances the unity between all the peoples and the creation itself. This population of the new Earth is that which is like unto the vanguard that moves first into the difficult areas of conflict and seeks to combat the difficulties with the vibrations of Love. There is no direct conflict, as you are undoubtedly aware, for those who move under the banner of Love are those which welcome the opportunity to transmute the dark and heavy vibrations into those which are Light and full of Love by the effort that they make in these latter days of your third density.

Is there another query?

C: Not at this time. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

M: How will we physically clean up the Earth? Will there be magical means? Will we be able to clean it up?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. One of the primary qualities of the fourth-density experience is that which may be seen to be the ability to utilize the frontal lobes of the human brain in a manner which is able to participate as a co-Creator. The ability to create with the mind those tools and resources necessary for the revitalization of this planetary entity which you call Earth is the primary means whereby the healing of this planet may be achieved.

Is there a further query, my sister?

M: I am concerned about the loss of species of animals. I wonder if they can be restored?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. And we can assure you that through both the processes which we have just mentioned and the natural regeneration of the Earth itself will make it possible for this planet to become inhabited by those species which have previously been present upon and within its being. This is correct.

Is there a further query?

M: No. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and again we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

C: I would like to ask about working with frustration. I seem to have a great deal of it these days. A lot of people are dealing with it now and struggling against daily things as well as larger things. Do you have any recommendation other than meditation?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We would suggest the further use of meditation in a specific fashion in order to deal with the increased stress and frustration which the daily round of activities for each of your peoples has brought in this time of turmoil for most of your population.

When the end of the day has come, or at some portion just prior to retiring for the day, we would recommend the sitting in meditation and the reviewing of the portions of the day which were perceived as frustrating. Look again at each situation. Relive the experience of frustration and observe the components of this experience: each entity, each event, thought, response, each detail which you can remember, so that the experience is once again alive in the mind. Then when this frustration is felt in this particular type of meditation, allow the balancing emotions of peace, of understanding, of acceptance, of tolerance, of humor to begin to surface as well within the mind until there is an equality of power between the frustration and the peace. This is a kind of short course, shall we say, in experiencing the incarnation. If one is able to accept the self, both for having the frustration as an experience and for being able to find within the self the ability to balance that with the feelings of acceptance, compassion, mercy and so forth, then you are able to move in a more balanced fashion within your daily round of activities, having laid the foundation within both the subconscious and conscious portions of the mind for being able to deal with various other frustrating experiences in succeeding days and rounds of activities.

Is there a further query, my sister?

C: No. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you once again, my sister. Is there a final query at this time?

E: I would like to know if it is possible for us to straighten out the situation on this planet without straightening out the situation between the sexes?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The situation, as you have described it, is one which has many, many facets, being rooted first in the concept of separation. What is the first separation? Self from self. As each individual entity views portions of itself as needing punishment, as being less than valuable, as being unworthy, then is born the concept of the separation of self from others as well. So that which you have described as the difficulty between male and female sexes upon your planet and the subjugation of the latter by the former, then, this kind of separation is also possible between groups of peoples, one state and another, one country and another, one religion and another, and so forth.

Thus, it would be helpful to begin the healing, not only between the female and male portions of the populations, but between those portions of the self which have been rejected for one reason or another and have made the possibility of rejecting other entities a reality. The healing of this planet and its peoples is a healing which begins with each self and moves outward to include all other selves.

Is there a further query, my brother?

E: Then, if I have you right, then, it basically starts with the self? Straightening out my relationship with my self is where I need to begin rather than worrying about gender relations. Is that correct?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would recommend that indeed the effort at healing begin with the self but at the same time include all other relationships of self with other self, the male and female relationship being primary among all relationships. Thus the healing process may be far reaching in its overall scope but indeed begins with the self.

Is there another query?

E: No. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you once again, my brother. At this time we feel that we have spoken as fully as this particular instrument is able to, for there is some distraction and fatigue. We thank each once again for inviting our presence this day. It is a great honor to be invited to join your circle of seeking, and we can assure each that the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator has many emissaries present at this time observing the movement of your peoples from one concept of love and acceptance to another. As this concept begins to spread from one grouping of peoples to another we see a great deal of light being generated so that your planet at this time is a combination of the light and the dark in many different patchwork places so that the light very slowly but surely begins to burn brighter in those areas where there are hearts to open to the concept of love more and more fully as the catalyst becomes greater and greater. You are not alone, my friends. There is a great company of the heavenly host which moves at this time to send its Light where it is most needed according to the difficulties that various portions of your planet now experience. As your meditation groups meet and send their light it is joined by the light of many, many others and moves into those areas at this time that are in difficulty.

We are those of Q’uo and we add our light to yours, and at this time we would take our leave of this instrument and this group. We leave each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went on an errand run with my first stop at Feeder’s Supply to buy some birdseed for my neighbor across the street. My second stop was at PetCo to buy some treats for Bosco and more cat caps for his rear claws. My third stop was at Kroger’s to buy some Pepsi-Zero. My fourth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My Fifth stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy various non-food items. My last stop was at the vet’s to pick up some meds for Bosco.

This afternoon I signed a number of Thank You letters for contributions that have been made to L/L Research.

Christ’s Divine Care

I am the Spirit of the full consciousness of Love. I greet you in the divine Love of Jesus the Christ.

It is considered desirable by you to retain your spiritual point of view as you go through the experiences of your daily rounds of activity. And, indeed, we have always encouraged this attempt.

It may perhaps be seen that the reciprocal needs also the attention. That is, it is well to bring the seemingly mundane, everyday experiences of daily life into the holy atmosphere of divine meeting and contemplation.

For if life can be lifted up by thought, then its means of lifting comes not only from the higher idea to the lower manifestation but from manifestation gazing back upon that which is unmanifest and perfect.

In this way, those things which do not feel blessed may be brought into the circle of Christ’s divine care. And raveled and frayed though things may be, yet still all is comforted within that divine purview of Love.

May we offer and leave you in the peace and the joy of the Love of Jesus 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.
