March 7, 2004

"…You are an entity far beyond the limitations of these illusory husks, the personality, the body, the face, the package. Do not identify overly with the package but seek to begin to know what is inside and let that center of self begin to act as the gyroscope that is whirling inside in rhythm with the heart of the Creator so that, as the Creator seeks to know Itself, so do you seek to know yourself. And from that center all things have their right pattern."

"Each of you wonders what truth you have found yet and how much of what you think about yourself is indeed true. We would acknowledge to you at this time that indeed that of which you are able to be aware on a conscious level within incarnation in third density is but the tip of the iceberg and often a misleading tip in terms of who you are as a soul stream. For you have not brought into incarnation your entire panoply of gathered resources and assets. Before incarnation, carrying a fairly small basket and having a huge inventory of stock from which to choose, you chose carefully those qualities of personality, those gifts and those limitations which you would carry into incarnation as the soul of your personality. You chose very carefully, conscientiously and economically. If you have sometimes felt incomplete, there is a reason for that. Third-density consciousness cannot carry the soul stream in its fullness. Neither body nor mind was designed to support the whole self in space/time."

" Within the holy work you call your Bible, there is the parable of the maidens who await the bridegroom, who watch and pray and trim their lamps. Some there are who think perhaps they have a little time before the stroke of midnight, yet midnight comes, and the lamp, the light—the love—has not been lit, and it may be a long day before that midnight comes again, though come it will and there is no shame in studying a bit longer.Thus, now is your harvest time. Now is when you shall be ready. And when you are ready, you shall be free, truly free in the service of the one infinite Creator as are we. We wish you the joy of that happy realization that you are through preparing. Celebrate your consciousness. Affirm it in all that is good, and if you feel that it is amiss, amend it, but do not prepare as for that which is in the future. Prepare as though, if we may use the same metaphor, the bridegroom knocked upon your door this minute, this hour, this night."

" …See yourself as a creature of love. See all other things as creatures of love. And see the action you take towards another self or a situation in general as partaking in unconditional love. Love, love, love: love as subject, love as verb, love as object. These are the practices that shall bring you ever closer to your goal of living in unity in a world of your own making that is a world of love."

https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2009/0124

An here is some more detail on the subject of love, oops sorry that sounds like name of a romantic book Wink

"The veil of forgetting lies heavily over third density. It is not a mistake that each individual self is cocooned within his own flesh and bones. It is the way the school of learning works to [help you] make that choice of polarity. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that both you and that other self upon whom you look and with whom you must interact are two sparks of the same Creator, virtually identical in every way, and that you were put here to love that entity, and that entity was put here to love you, there would be no occasion to call upon faith. There would be no occasion to suffer the pangs of isolation. And there would be no reason to go through the fire of catalyst turning into experience when everything about a situation is known. That situation ceases to be catalytic"

" It is often those times of the seeming accomplishment of a goal which one has long sought that seekers look to as a sign of work well done. However, we would suggest that there is little possibility of entities within your illusion ever being able to see with eyes clear enough to know when work has truly been accomplished, and it is those times of difficulty in general which are most valuable to the seeker of truth. Truly, there is no means by which one cannot serve and seek to be of more service, yet it is far better to continue the effort of seeking with great perseverance and without the necessity of counting the return that is most valuable to the seeker within your illusion, for the fruits of your seeking are metaphysical in nature and escape, for the most part, detection by those within your illusion.

" …Each of you falls headlong into a blazing white light, the white light of an infinite Creator whose very nature is love. You are falling unbelievably quickly, and you shall fuse and become one in your perception as you already are in reality with love itself. This is your destiny. And yet speed is such a relative thing. None of you knows how quickly spiritual gravity pulls you toward that great center, that great unity. Each of you feels you cannot possibly be moving quickly enough, you need to know more. And so you draw yourself along. Yet in reality, you could not hold yourself back if you tried. "

February 2, 1997

"…From the standpoint of each individual within the illusion of mortality and space and time it simply seems impossible that one will ever know enough. And one comes to the conclusion that one does not know much at all. And when one comes to this realization it is a great gift because the great mistakes are made by those who think they know exactly what to do. And there is great healing in the awareness that not only do you not know but that you are not supposed to know, and you are not here to know the right thing. But rather you are here to experience and to learn and to share the essence of yourself with the planet that you came to love and serve. And this is not that which is spoken…[or by] working with another entity. This is that which begins with breathing in and breathing out. Here is your vocation, in the living, in being, in the breathing, in being where you are with your senses alert and your heart open, paying attention to that moment that is the only such moment that you ever shall have."

https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1997/0202

"within the illusion of mortality" yes mortality.. we are all so old haha well the living forever thing is very easy to forget or even believe in this illusion!

"And there is great healing in the awareness that not only do you not know but that you are not supposed to know, and you are not here to know the right thing. " Yes so let that mind be-quiet and starting listening to your heart okay! Wink

Its the great paradox of them all isn't? " paying attention to that moment that is the only such moment that you ever shall have." it certainly simplify's living for eternity Smile

"Upon the human plane, then, on that level of conscious living from which each of you is asking this question, the prospect of gaining a great deal from the use of the conscious mind may be seen to be, at best, limited. Certainly, the use of the mind is recommended, and, certainly, there are more and less skillful ways to use the mind in that attempt to create for the self clearer understandings of the self and of the challenges and issues that are before not just the conscious personality but the metaphysical entity that each is.

May we say that the intellectual mind has implicit limitations, those limitations being the natural limitations of reason. Ratiocination is an exercise which is posited upon the faith and logic and reason. To a certain extent this faith is justified. However, that which is rational and reasonable is only a small part of this essence of self and, therefore, the use of the conscious mind has natural limitations. Reason cannot move down into the roots of being, for those roots are not reasonable or rational but are, rather, of that energy which this instrument is used to calling archetypal or archetypical. The essences of each of your beings have far more to do with intense purified emotion than with reason.

Take home message.. "The essences of each of your beings have far more to do with intense purified emotion than with reason. "

"The one known as Freud mentioned that sometimes a cigar was just a cigar. Sometimes a coincidence is, indeed, just a coincidence. When you are ready for synchronicities you will begin to see them multiplying all around you. Each time you recognize a coincidence as having a spiritual lesson in its hands, you open yourself more to that level of living which this instrument would call “magical.” The more respect that you give to the details of your existence—the animals and birds that you see, the names of the streets and of the people that you meet and so forth—the more open that you become to receiving many helpful hints and pointed suggestions from your environment. "

https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2008/1011

And with synchronicities whether they are just starting to happen in ones life or become part of the norm.. showing appreciation is always encouraged Wink

“…It does not matter what the result of your service is, in terms of your own growth and learning; spiritually speaking, it is important only that your pure desire was to serve. It is, of course, helpful if one uses the tools available to one in order to refine techniques of service so that they are as effective as possible. However, free will is so important a concept that if a service is abrogated, refused or denied, it should be as acceptable to the one who serves as the alternate outcome, that is, that one’s service is accepted, enjoyed and in terms of the illusion, successfully manifested.”

" …The one known as Jesus…could not have survived infanthood had it not been for the web of relationships he had with his parents and with the owner of the inn that allowed Mary a place to rest her head on the night of his birth, while the shepherds flocked to that manger and formed a deep relationship with this infant.In the gladsome and free times of summer, with its limitless light…the importance of the support …[of] special relationships…do not seem so urgent a matter. The winter night is far more revealing of the importance of these relationships of soul to soul, heart to heart and hand to hand.Therefore…it is often a time for families to join together to renew old ties…and experience the somewhat surrealistic and eerie feeling of time falling away and one’s childhood seeming to come back to one, as one experiences these old, old relationships with much shared history that are true of the birth family of mother and child, sister and brother.

" …Once you have taken the leap into faith you set into motion a different set of rules. You are now awake, vibrant, magical, dancing with the energies around you, knowing that you are a part of all that there is and that all that there is loves you as you love all that there is."

https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2010/0911

"When you have taken your leap into faith, when you have realized the power of your intention and your will and your desire, and when you have begun to set your intention to seek, to set your will to be a servant of the light and the love of the one infinite Creator, when you have awakened that magical part of yourself that knows that you can create your own creation and that which is forgiven by you is forgiven, and that which is not forgiven by you remains unforgiven, then you begin to be aware of the dance of Creation."

The dance of creation.. the music being silence and the dance floor that of love, dance in the oneness and the oneness dances with you, the more your in the moment the more can awaken to the rhythms of the music.. okay okay you get the picture, can turn on the music now Wink


RE: Daily Q'uote - Patrick - 02-11-2022

Yes, the magical nature of our "reality" becomes obvious after taking that leap of faith. You join the dance and all just flows. Love

" You have the mind with which your body was born and the mind which is consciousness. Unlike the mind which is particularly and solely your own, you share the faculty of consciousness with all beings. We are not simply saying that you share consciousness with all other human beings… The nature of consciousness is not particular to you. Rather, because of your innate nature as a part of the godhead principle, your heart beats with the pulse of the one infinite Creator. "

https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2007/0520

" You have the mind with which your body was born and the mind which is consciousness." This relates to yesterdays quote, "all just flows" as talked by Patrick when you are accessing the greater mind, it just takes a leap past the mind with which your body with born with...and "your heart beats with the pulse of the one infinite Creator" as that is your "innate nature".. oneness.
Law of One is so fitting a name, as there is only one law or one Way and that is one..

P.S For those not aware, RA does state the Law of One can also be called the Way of One https://www.lawofone.info/s/22#27 , which do you prefer?

I  didn't know that! Thank you Quan! I prefer the Way (Tao)!!!

Lao Tzu

In the beginning was the Tao. All things issue from it; all things return to it.


To find the origin, trace back the manifestations. When you recognize the children and find the mother, you will be free of sorrow. 
If you close your mind in judgments and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace.

Seeing into darkness is clarity. Knowing how to yield is strength.
Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity.

yesterday I was re-watching The Winslow Boy a lovely movie from 1999, about a boy wrongfully accused in the early 1900.

So there's, in British Law, a remedy available to subjects to recover property from the Crown,  (Whether material or mental property...)  called the petition of right. Its translation from latin is 'let right be done."   and at one point the barrister who is going to fight for the honor of the child, says to the child's sister about 'let right be done'  ...  'it does have a ring to it doesn't it ?'

"You may find yourself wanting to tune-up your energy body during the day…It can be done in a moment, if you wish to use that moment. We do not suggest shaping your thoughts because you know those are the thoughts you should have. “Should” is not a word that is helpful in spiritual seeking. It has nothing to do with the open and spontaneous flow of the love and the light of the one infinite Creator with whom you are attempting to work. Each of your thoughts is appropriate in its own way and true and good, and it is what is. Therefore, it is in that open and spontaneous flow of thinking and acting and feeling that the meat of the seeker’s learning lies. So, when we say to “tune-up the self” we do not mean to alter the behavior but rather to open the self to the awareness of the Creator. When you are able to do this even momentarily, it opens up the chakra body and allows the energy to move freely."

https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2007/1124


Yeah "should" - nice reminder! "Should" seems to belong more to the daily 3D chores - I should do this now, I should have done that etc.
always connected with guilt and duty
whereas the creator connects thru letting go and allowing things to happen. Smile

"The vibration of the one infinite Creator is the starting and the ending, not only for an entity within an incarnation but for the entity within the entire range of the octave of experience. Through the many densities, through all of the lessons of each density, and through the countless experiences which together create your personal biases and distortions, you seek endlessly to return to that vibration which is your home, your nature, your origin, and your ending. It is a thirst and a craving within the very depths of your nature, deeper than your thoughts, more intimate to you than all of the trappings of culture, language and learning that ripple the surface of your waters as you move through the ocean of life."

Reach, and it can't be grasped.

Above, it isn't bright.
Below, it isn't dark.
Seamless, unnamable,
it returns to the realm of nothing.
Form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle, beyond all conception.

Approach it and there is no beginning;
follow it and there is no end.
You can't know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:
this is the essence of wisdom.
