2020s.txt:20:17:\heart: The manifestation of any particular type of quality, be it understanding, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, acceptance\index{acceptance}, service to others\index{service to others}, and so forth, is also intensified in its manifested state so that there is more to appreciate, more to work upon, and receive a benefit from as the seeker\index{seeker} then is able to see the manna from heaven\index{heaven}, shall we say, as it falls into the consciousness of the seeker. This manner, this bread of life, is that which nourishes the soul, enhances the mental capacities that feeds the body as well so that the seeker is nourished upon this journey of seeking by that which it seeks, and that which it perceives, and that which it processes, and that which it produces as the fruit\index{fruit} of this entire energy expenditure. Therefore, the manifestation is a product of many efforts of the seeker of truth, both before and during the incarnational experience.\\ 2020s.txt:83:80:\heart: Thus, the feeling of being here on a mission, shall we say, becomes a focal point for the wanderer\index{wanderer}, in that it expands the point of view. The point of view, then, becomes that which is discussed internally and examined internally in contemplation and in meditation\index{meditation}. This, then, informs the mind, the body, and the spirit\index{spirit} that it has a function to perform that is of great service to others\index{service to others}, and this becomes the guiding light, shall we say, that inner light which shines upon the heart\index{heart}, and opens the heart, in a more dependable sense so that the wanderer may feel a kind of loving acceptance\index{acceptance}, not only of the self, but also of all other selves, that it finds in its daily round of activities.\\ 2020s.txt:452:60:\heart: After such an experience, it is possible that a continued relationship\index{relationship} could develop so that eventually the entities could share in green\index{green} ray love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of each other, finding coincidences in their lives that brought them together at that point in time that resulted in what was called an accident, and yet could be a coincidence. This may be taken further and further for those who would become adepts, but we feel that this is sufficient for the type of designation that the one known as Lily was desiring.\\ 2020s.txt:469:6: The orange-ray energy center would be available to the third-density\index{third-density} entity that wished to explore the identification of the self and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self in a basic manner, so that there might be an interrelationship with an other-self in an intensive fashion, so that there could be communication that would inspire both to move even higher upon the rung of the chakras or energy centers.\\ 2020s.txt:527:3:\heart: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. In the balancing process, in which one attempts to discover the wholeness of the mind, the body, and the spirit\index{spirit} within the self, it is often well to re-live the experience that has caused you consternation or difficulty in any degree. And then, when you have re-lived that within the meditative state, it is often helpful to begin the balancing process with the concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} for whatever your experience that has caught your attention and thrown you off your equilibrium of the acceptance of the moment. To be able to find love and acceptance within yourself is a good place with which to begin. However, the more effective means of balancing comes not from what you create as a balance to what you experience, but what comes naturally to you as you are meditating upon the original dysfunction or disharmony that you have experienced.\\ 2020s.txt:528:4: This is a somewhat subtle experience as there are oftentimes a mixture of emotions that come to balance the original disharmony. To perceive which is most helpful is that which is your task. However, we would also suggest that if you are cut off in traffic, shall we say, that it may be that the first balancing emotion will be acceptance\index{acceptance} of the entity which has so cut you off in traffic. If this is the natural response, then you may allow this response to grow into your consciousness so that it is of a nature of quality and quantity to equal the dissatisfaction\index{dissatisfaction} or disharmony or anger\index{anger} that you felt after being cut off.\\ 2020s.txt:604:10:\heart: We find that so often, the stumbling blocks upon the spiritual path include the internal distortion of resistance to that which is —and this resistance can become a perpetuating cycle as the seeker\index{seeker} is met with a difficult situation, a persisting theme, or a general unpleasant experience in their lives, and aversion causes the seeker to fight against this experience in order to vanquish it. And yet, we find this approach, when lacking the love\index{love} of acceptance\index{acceptance}, generates a metaphysical charge that will, in many cases, perpetuate and even increase the intensity of the catalyst which is fought. So the first approach described within the query—that of surrendering—may, in a moment, be that which the seeker needs the most and, in that moment, is the extent of a spiritual approach that can be taken to then release the charge of perpetuating catalyst, thus allowing the seeker to accept the catalyst and utilize it for their spiritual growth.\\ 2020s.txt:611:17: As has been previously spoken to, the general and over-sweeping acceptance\index{acceptance} of circumstance in this density, while admirable, is deficient, may we say, in its allowance for the fullest experience and expression of the individual aspect of the Creator in this density. As we see it, the acceptance of circumstance is a portion of that yin and yang symbol that many on your planet are aware of. Without the specific connotations of that symbol, we see the tactic of full acceptance (while( having relationship\index{relationship} with acts of intention setting, visualization, and affirmation to be a creation of something that is more whole, if you will. Like two puzzle pieces that fit together to create a fuller picture, the information from one tie in seamlessly with the information from another to form a full expression.\\ 2020s.txt:612:18: That being said, each seeker\index{seeker} will inherently be a unique aspect of the kaleidoscope that is the Creator. Each seeker may depend upon acceptance\index{acceptance} more than the setting of intention, while their brother or sister may operate oppositely. We must stress that there is no true wrong, if you will, way of using or employing these tactics, for all is one and a great experience in this illusion—bountiful with opportunity for growth, learning and experience. Both tactics require, on the seeker’s behalf, a sense of faith: which is, in itself, a powerful tool towards spiritual evolution. It is finding that balance that each seeker may feel a need to experiment with and discover.\\ 2020s.txt:613:19: Again, we send this instrument the notion of faith that, with these two tactics under one’s employ, they both require a sense of knowing the truth that all is well. For in the first tactic of acceptance\index{acceptance}, you are met with situations that one may define as negative or positive, helpful or not helpful, painful or pleasurable. But the acceptance of them, however you describe them, takes a leap of faith to recognize that they are valid and important. And that you are meant to, if you will, experience these situations, that it is part of your journey, part of your story\index{story}.\\ 2020s.txt:615:21: Now, we must point out that one may not be able truly to incorporate just one tactic without even a taste of the other tactic. For we see that (in( setting an intention and not having what one desires to become reality in your illusion\index{illusion}, one will likely have to at least faith—we correct this instrument—face the fact that that the non-desired outcome will either require acceptance\index{acceptance} or denial. Even just facing that choice is, in some part, a realization that acceptance must happen, even if you accept to not accept, if you will. And if one just goes through life accepting everything as it makes itself a participant in your reality, the experiencer must—we correct this instrument—the experiencer will likely require at least some form of an intention setting, even unconsciously or subconsciously, to keep the path—we correct this instrument—to keep those footsteps moving forward along the path. For without desire\index{desire} and with only pure acceptance, one may find themselves completely stationary, without one foot moving towards a hoped (for( outcome.\\ 2020s.txt:620:26: What is the right use of will? My friends, this is a question which will be with you for a long time to come, well beyond your present lifetime and, indeed, this present density. For the will is, as Ra\index{ra} described it, the “great conduit to the Creator.” In the experiment, shall we say, that is the creation, each of the Creator’s parts are endowed with this will. This will is baked into the design of your beingness. It is that primal mechanism whereby you will choose your method of self-discovery; choose among an infinite\index{infinite} variety of choices\index{choices}, your pathway to the Creator; choose your manner of beingness and expression and the duration and extent and entanglement of confusion\index{confusion} as you teeter between that primal balance of acceptance\index{acceptance} and resistance.\\ 2020s.txt:621:27: Aiming the will towards acceptance\index{acceptance} is, we would say, a skillful use of will, for each act of acceptance smooths the journey and aligns one’s self with, you might say, a more organic evolutionary path. This is not to say that there are wrong choices\index{choices}, per se, or that there are mistakes. In the macrocosmic sense, every use of will is a right use of will, for even in confusion\index{confusion}, even in resistance and negation, the self will be meeting the self. Even if what is met is resisted or run from, that, too, teaches—and, once consciously embraced, will reveal self to self.\\ 2020s.txt:622:28: These seemingly dual or paradoxical uses of will, wherein one seeks a goal versus accepts what is presented, may be framed and approached in a variety of ways—one of which we would submit for your consideration is as something of a continuum, whereby one mode transitions into the other by that faculty made possible through acceptance\index{acceptance}, which is perhaps taken to an even higher level, which you might call trust or faith.\\ 2020s.txt:623:29: For in the personal use of will, which the Creator hopes that you will exercise in your choice-making journey, the more that you can set the will to the vibration and practice of acceptance\index{acceptance}, the more that your own will blends with the one will. And (if( trust (is exercised( that that which you are experiencing is the fruit\index{fruit} of your personal will, then that which is reflected back to you—particularly and especially the difficult and challenging catalyst, the limitations, and the pain—is, shall we say, (understood to be( the universe working for you. (It is( the intelligent, responsive, adaptive illusion\index{illusion} providing you the material that you wanted; on a fundamental level, material that is shaped by preincarnational bias and imprinting, and then continued with the exercise of the incarnate will.\\ 2020s.txt:625:31: These often seem as different uses of will because, as we were describing earlier through another instrument, the resistance that is often inherent in the personal use of will. In that personal use, the self is often quite inadvertently running away from one’s catalyst—either surrounding oneself in a defense mechanism or suppressing, rejecting, ignoring. And in this exercise of will, additional catalyst will be procured by the self to give the self ever new opportunities to come to the place of acceptance\index{acceptance} within the self.\\ 2020s.txt:675:39: We are those of Q’uo, and we are now with this instrument. We would like to begin by providing some encouragement within this instrument to relax a bit deeper into acceptance\index{acceptance} and allow us to speak more clearly to her. With this instrument now, feeling as though she has strengthened and widened her connection with and through us, we will ask if there is a query at this time?new speakerGary\\ 2020s.txt:685:49:\heart: We hope\index{hope} that we are conveying through this instrument that the kind and gentle\index{gentle} hand that extends to the self within oneself creates the environment or conditions wherein the self can grow and learn\index{learn} and open one’s heart\index{heart} fuller and move along that positive path. And with each moment of acceptance\index{acceptance} and loving the self and seeing the Creator in oneself, accepting everything that may be seen as folly or misstep, with gentle eyes, one’s vessel becomes larger, and more love\index{love} and acceptance and compassion\index{compassion} for others can be held within to gift outwardly.\\ 2020s.txt:694:58:\heart: We ask that a seeker\index{seeker} dealing with guilt, and perhaps devaluing thoughts of oneself because of actions or thoughts previously experienced, that one remember that you are divine\index{divine}, that you are a participant in this chaotic, but perfectly formulated, almost cosmic reaction of various components. And we remind the seeker just as we are reminding this instrument that all is well and that a path of service to others\index{service to others} and love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of oneself may not always be easy or confidence-boosting, but is fruitful\index{fruitful} and righteous.\\ 2020s.txt:800:14: Thank\index{thank} you Q’uo. I have a new query. This one comes from Garrett and it’s reworded a bit but he asks a question about the Hindu\index{hindu} concept of Brahamcharya, which can loosely be translated as the path of the ultimate, or to stay and conduct with one’s own soul. But it often refers to the idea of sexual\index{sexual} celibacy, or celibacy in general. Ra\index{ra} describe describes the hallmark of the service-to-others\index{service-to-others} path as acceptance\index{acceptance}, and the service-to-self\index{service-to-self} path as control, and that includes control of the self. Garrett asks how one might follow such a spiritual path of abstinence without controlling the self in this context?new speakerQ’uo\\ 2020s.txt:801:15: We are those known to you as Q’uo, and we appreciate this question from the one known as Garrett as it does plumb very useful inquiry into multiple dynamics, particularly the axis of acceptance\index{acceptance} and control. And indeed, in general and an overview, we would say that many seemingly positively oriented disciplines can be undertaken with the, we would add, mistakenly undertaken with the service-to-self-type of control and conversely, many seemingly negatively oriented disciplines can also be confused in their application of polarity\index{polarity}. Though, we would note that such confusion\index{confusion} is more prevalent in the former, whereby the positive aspirant inadvertently applies the negative attempts of controlling the self.\\ 2020s.txt:804:18:\heart: However, and to near the finish line of this response, we would say that for some entities’ experience of their sexual\index{sexual} nature, it is appropriate and can be a full embrace and acceptance\index{acceptance} of their sexuality to consciously undertake celibacy in order to embrace and direct that energy upward towards the seeking of the Creator. Fully acknowledging and loving and cherishing this energy within the self and within all other selves, indeed perhaps even allowing it to flow through nonphysical ways that still produce emotional or mental or other energetic intimacy with other selves, but whereas the physical aspect is reserved for heightened energy in the self’s attempt to pierce the veil.\\ 2020s.txt:816:30: We see this variation of experience as a color wheel, if you will, that expands, adopts more hues, more tints, more shades, becoming more varied, more expressive, more close to what you may call whole—though always being perfect and whole in the truth of it—but ever growing deeper with continued exploration of all possible expressions of inter-and intra-personal relationship\index{relationship}. We shall say that there is a sense among your people that curiosity in such things like crime or violence or other injustices could be seen as what you would call morbid, and we would balance that by saying that it is still a reflection of a part of the Creator when the entity who engages in its interest\index{interest} to explore topics such as these with an open heart\index{heart} and a service-to-others\index{service-to-others} guidepost for living, then the opportunity for empathy and compassion\index{compassion} may too grow, as well as forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance}, as well as motivation to further serve for what you may call the greater good, to try to find ways to respond to civil injustice and interpersonal pain\index{pain}.\\ 2020s.txt:900:23: I am Q’uo, and we are attempting contact with this instrument. We feel the suggestion of acceptance\index{acceptance} is an important one at this time, for this instrument is struggling to maintain full contact and feels as though there are other voices or energies at play. This instrument not wanting to curtail the practice or divert the focus from the topic at hand asks for forgiveness and wishes to use this opportunity to thank\index{thank} us for attempting contact with her and to thank the group\index{group} and with kindness\index{kindness} for self and other self and gentle\index{gentle} touch, wishes instead to relinquish her time to the other instruments in this circle\index{circle}. We thank you all for your patience\index{patience} and with acceptance of this catalyst, we will now transfer our contact from this instrument to the one known as Austin. We are those of Q’uo.\\ 2020s.txt:902:25: I am Q’uo, and am now with this instrument. We extend our gratitude\index{gratitude} to the one known as Trish for the blessing and acceptance\index{acceptance} of this contact and allowing the dynamic flow of energy present within this dance that we share with this group\index{group} to proceed unimpeded. We assure her that all is well, and that her presence remains an aspect of this working today, and this working is made better\index{better} for it.\\ 2020s.txt:907:30: We also call attention to the necessity for an active role in what is called, within this passage, opportunity. It is true that each seeker\index{seeker} receives the necessary opportunity for it to progress\index{progress} upon its path. However, this notion of opportunity has, within the third density\index{third density}, a dual nature: the call of the opportunity that beckons to the seeker, and the seeker’s blessing of free will, which may respond to that call with an acceptance\index{acceptance} or a denial of that opportunity. My friends, we witness upon your planet many entities presented with abundant opportunities to open the heart\index{heart}, to expand the awareness, and to seek the Creator in all experience, yet the tendency among your peoples is that of denying these opportunities. Thus, you see that simply receiving the opportunity necessary for one’s growth does not imply that the conscious seeker of truth may simply rest in a passive state not engaging with one’s circumstances and behaving as a conscious co-Creator of those circumstances. The opportunity must be recognized and must be acted upon in order for this dynamic to be fully embodied by the seeker in the lived life.\\ 2020s.txt:947:29: One may ask oneself in moments when in deep meditation\index{meditation} and silence, what is dread? What is this sensation and where from do the roots of this dread originate? In that silence you may find that the dread is a precursor or a … we give this instrument the image of a flashing billboard, to designate where there is lack of acceptance—that this dread may be cluing one in to a potential situation that one wishes to control or change rather than accept and embrace and forgive, if forgiveness is warranted. This sensation, though unsettling and perhaps foundation-breaking in a sensory sort of fashion, is a tremendous avenue towards—we correct this instrument—into one’s own psyche and motivation. Conversely, desire\index{desire} can be felt as excitement, anticipation and pleasurable. When one sees a situation upon the forecast of the incarnation with desire\index{desire}, one may feel the inclination to hasten the experience, quicken the moment, increase the speed of living for the outcome is one that one had hoped for.\\ 2020s.txt:949:31: We are with this instrument again, and thank\index{thank} you for the patience\index{patience}. Situations wherein desire\index{desire} is at play to the observant seeker\index{seeker} could be seen as opportunities to slow one’s actions and reactions and allow oneself to amble and stroll and take in the scenery, if you will, along the journey to that desired\index{desired} situation, allowing oneself the gentleness and tender touch that can accept other outcomes and other possibilities likewise. And in opposition, the situations that elicit dread for the observant seeker can be viewed as opportunities to look within and see where from the dread is created. To open one’s heart\index{heart} to acceptance\index{acceptance} of opportunity of perhaps unforeseen growth through this discomfort to, rather than amble and stroll along this journey to the outcome, make careful step and consider the sites along the way.\\ 2020s.txt:972:54: But this, as with so many things in and beyond your illusion\index{illusion}, is a discipline\index{discipline}. For most this requires, as with any discipline, continued practice, persistent practice. One must learn\index{learn} not simply to manipulate the breath as one pulls levers on a machine\index{machine}, but to deepen one’s presence, one’s intimacy, an embrace of the self, even one’s acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self—for in this discipline, one will encounter not merely bodily sensations and respiratory patterns, but one will encounter one’s own mental patterns as well. And all the history, all the intricacy, all the blockages and balances associated therein, one will be consciously taking steps upon the journey of realizing the self. And one will find that this practice can become a very central mechanism for engaging that journey, for moving beyond the surface levels of the daily experience, and into the deeper waters that tend\index{tend} to remain hidden without the focused attention.\\ 2020s.txt:1005:5:\heart: And so how do you, as spiritual seekers of truth, as portions of the One Creator, find within yourselves the ability to seek unity with all other entities about you, even those who seem to be diametrically opposed to your spiritual perception of reality, to the ability to give and receive love\index{love} freely between entities, to open the heart\index{heart} in acceptance\index{acceptance} and love of those who would not desire\index{desire} to do the same with you? This is the very heart of the seeming separation that creates your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion}. And illusion it is, for it is the goal, the challenge, and the path of each within this illusion to find the love in the moment, in the self, in the other. This is a great challenge. And yet, this is the challenge that each of you have set before yourselves before the incarnation. For unless you have a challenge that takes you further than you have ever been before in your total soul identity, then there is no chance for growth.\\ 2020s.txt:1036:36:\heart: We must know it’s extremely difficult for you seekers to reconcile truths that feel so innately opposite of your own, hard to keep that beating heart\index{heart} of yours open and accepting of selves with opposing views. But as has been stated, it’s the ultimate goal—keeping that heart open and finding compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} for this other-self, for this extension of self.\\ 2020s.txt:1037:37: We ask that you again, in the exercise of comparing self to other-self, we move forward and say that—we correct this instrument—we ask that you stand in the shoes of the other-self if difficulty still exists in accepting the other-self. The intention of opening the heart\index{heart} to the other-self is a tremendous and beautiful\index{beautiful} way to begin the actual acceptance\index{acceptance} of other-self. When one can stand in other selves’ shoes, one can perhaps discover new facets of other-self—see the pain\index{pain} in the other-self, see the joy\index{joy} in the other-self. And be able to, without the need to accept the truth of the other-self, perhaps understand\index{understand} where that truth has roots. And then begin to see the other-self as another adolescent, alongside yourself adolescent, just trying, attempting to make sense in this illusion\index{illusion}, and have compassion\index{compassion} and a newfound sense of gentleness in the interaction with the other-self.\\ 2020s.txt:1038:38: What a powerful gift this all is. We hope\index{hope} that you find gratitude\index{gratitude} for that gift to see what enormous possibilities exist within this unique opportunity. And we hope\index{hope} that the acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} of … for, rather, other-self, however slow that process may be, that the seeker\index{seeker} can see how healing\index{healing} and how elevating the ultimate outcome can be. How transformative. How positive.\\ 2020s.txt:1105:21:\heart: For the student of spiritual evolution who is engaged in working with their catalysts in their own infinitely unique way of processing through love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, that which one finds within the self or is impacted by other selves, then one can find great aid in performing these visualizations of the energy centers, of each opening and metabolizing and vivifying and energizing the energy, and allowing it to pass upward to the next energy center in sequence. And working on the self in such a way that the self tunes the instrument, clearing the pipeline, as it were, bringing light and wholeness into the being.\\ 2020s.txt:1258:5:\heart: These are the prime building blocks, shall we say, of a life pattern. So when you are criticized for not living up to the best of what you are able to do, or should be doing in another’s eyes, it begins to shake the foundation of one’s being, until one must contemplate the basic quality that constitutes one’s being. And we would suggest to you, my friends, that you, and your other selves of the family, are portions of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator that has placed itself in every portion of the universe around you, in every entity that you know, and have ever met, or shall ever meet, or shall never meet, for the Creator is within all things for the very purpose of coming to know more about itself. And you, as representatives of this One Creator, carry out this same mission under the most difficult of circumstances, with the veil of forgetting hiding the basic nature of the creation as being that of unity—hiding it so effectively that you are easily convinced that there is something other than the One Creator that is the foundation of your being, that you are providing the Creator with ways in which it might know itself better\index{better} with more intensity, and variety, and purity. Whatever your choices\index{choices} that you make, you cannot fail in that responsibility, the ability to respond as the Creator. So, how do you make the most effective response to those criticisms and allegations that suggest that you are less than what you should be—less than the Creator? We would suggest that within each entity’s heart\index{heart}, the green-ray energy center, is the ability to tap into the wisdom\index{wisdom} of the heart, which we would suggest is that type of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of others that does not place any condition upon freely giving that love.\\ 2020s.txt:1262:9:\heart: I am Q’uo and am now with this instrument. We find within this instrument a certain sensitivity that allows us to refine our message and disclaimer to seekers wishing to utilize the thoughts that we share with you on this day. This sensitivity, we find, is geared towards those who may find our words and find within them the inspiration to take up the mantle\index{mantle} of universal love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance}, and service to others\index{service to others} when approaching such a dynamic as you have described within your query and attempt to relate within a situation that may become harmful, or what might be known as abusive—thus adopting the mantle of a martyr. Further, there may be a situation in which a dynamic within what you describe as a family involves an individual or individuals who have yet to find within themselves the true sovereign power of their beingness as a creator of love, and thus might misuse or misinterpret those ideas that we share with you. And so we offer a refinement to our general disclaimer in that these opinions that we share with you are not intended to apply to each specific scenario, and each specific case. This is a matter of interpretation for each seeker\index{seeker} who wishes to find value in our words. We speak generally and desire\index{desire} most to offer thoughts that empower each seeker to discover within them not only their capacity to love and to create, but also their right to express themselves and create for themselves a life and a creation in which they may feel safe and maintain an ability to continue their seeking and to continue to refine their love as an expression of service to others.\\ 2020s.txt:1263:10:\heart: We find that within your query the notion of family might be at the heart\index{heart} of this variety of interpretation. And so, we choose to work with a definition in which “family” is a shared and accepted\index{accepted} notion among all individuals within the dynamic to which you are speaking. Whether this family is chosen, or whether this family is by circumstance of birth\index{birth}, we find that the notion of family is a shared story\index{story} among your people and the usefulness of offering acceptance\index{acceptance} and universal love\index{love} requires one to examine the shared notion between self and other self. What is the story of this family? Within your query we find that the circumstance described is one in which this must be done primarily by the self, for the notion of irreconcilable differences does not speak to a persisting shared story of family, but rather a breaking of that story. And so, first and foremost, we encourage the seeker\index{seeker} choosing love to take this story of family into the heart and into meditation\index{meditation} and begin the great work that requires one to sit within the self, and discover the self, and discover the true power that comes when love is realized at the heart of the self.\\ 2020s.txt:1501:23: And this discovery must be brought into the heart\index{heart}, as we were indicating, of acceptance\index{acceptance}. And in terms of this particular pattern of avoidance, one can develop an awareness that which is being avoided need not be feared, or run from, or turn from that which is being avoided. Ultimately, there is no harm or threat to the self, or any sort of loss, which is not productive of growth. That there is something quite valuable awaiting the self when the layers of resistance, and rejection, and avoidance can be peeled back, so that the self may come into contact with the self. For to avoid is to choose to be partial, to choose not to embrace the entirety of the self. That circle\index{circle} which defines self has infinite\index{infinite} layers moving ever-outward and ever-inward.\\ 2020s.txt:1511:33: We will start by saying that one may view such trials and tribulations as potent medicinal opportunities for spiritual growth and the lesson of acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ 2020s.txt:1512:34:\heart: Through this instrument, we can witness an experience of feeling flustered but wanting to do so much, wanting to be so much, wanting to learn\index{learn} so much, but feeling as you would say trapped in a shell, that keeps, in the entity’s mind, them from moving forward. We dare to suggest that sitting with that frustration and that pain\index{pain} is an opportunity pregnant with the potential for developing acceptance\index{acceptance}. This acceptance we speak up is not a simple acceptance of acknowledging a sensation or emotions existence, rather the acceptance we speak of is one of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} for the experience.\\ 2020s.txt:1520:42:\heart: One final (thought( that we would share with this questioner, and we state it very humbly again knowing that it could be misconstrued as being insensitive to the questioner’s experience, that this instrument personally believes entities who received these tough physical experiences asked for and received them, for the Creator knew them to be strong enough. And it is only with time, and love\index{love}, and full acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self that this instrument, and the questioner, may find and discover how truly strong they are.\\ 2020s.txt:1578:4: Ra\index{ra} said, “We were able to contact this group\index{group} using this instrument because of the purity of this instrument’s dedication to the service of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and also because of the great amount of harmony and acceptance\index{acceptance} enjoyed each by each within the group.” 1 That was not the only instance that Ra spoke of and emphasized the purity of the instrument’s dedication to the service of the One Creator.\\ 2020s.txt:1614:40: It is necessary to evolve the thinking of the mind and refine its patterns to make use of this tool, to engage in deep and considerate contemplation upon spiritual inquiry, to lift the mind from its circular ruts. There is much, much work to do in that department, and it is through silence that the seeker\index{seeker} opens the door to that which is beyond the mind, that to which mind and body must surrender\index{surrender} in humble\index{humble} acceptance\index{acceptance} and trust, in order to receive, in order to enter, in order to be made holy and transmuted into the sacramental that the self may go beyond this limit-making machine\index{machine} that is the mind, this comparing and contrasting and categorizing and analyzing device that helps the seeker to touch into that which cannot now nor ever be described.\\ 2020s.txt:1636:14:\heart: As the instrument before stated, acceptance\index{acceptance} is truly key here. Accepting the self for their various actions and thoughts and feelings, understanding them, loving them, learning from them, but always at the core, accepting them is vital to the maintenance, if you will, of a clear channel of love\index{love} and light through each soul, each entity.\\ 2020s.txt:1637:15:\heart: We would perhaps ask the self how can one fully give love\index{love} and light, fully be the full self, the full extension of the Creator, the full embodiment of the Creator if there are limits, limitations, and barriers that divert the flow or create disturbance? That is what self-judgment and non-acceptance can create. It can obstruct, it can weaken, it can divert the flow of the truth that is the energy that is you. It can dim the light that is the expression of the self. It can color the beauty of the expression of the self. So, again, acceptance\index{acceptance} and love and knowing the truth of the self, being gentle\index{gentle} and forgiving and understanding of the self, not only works to clear the flow of energy through the entity, through the soul, through the heart\index{heart}, but also allows the self its most potent opportunity to express its vibrancy, its true beauty, its true perfection.\\ 2020s.txt:1643:21: These systems of evaluation have a collective blindness, so to speak, built of and for the illusion\index{illusion}; they look not beyond it. And there is much pain\index{pain} and suffering engendered in these ways of seeing, for they rebound and ricochet across your world through countless voices, and countless forms of messaging, that each within your sphere\index{sphere} is absolutely bombarded with, that speak about how the self is fundamentally unworthy and can achieve some worth in the society\index{society}’s eyes by way of acquisition, often associated with the appearance of the entity or perhaps the behavior, the acceptable behavior, or desirable behavior of the entity; or the material goods or some other way by which one becomes elevated in the eyes of others, acceptable in the eyes of others. And many of your peoples, therefore, expend great quantities of energy, even lifetimes, chasing those elusive goals, seeking that acceptance\index{acceptance} from the neighbor or from the larger society.\\ 2020s.txt:1644:22: In a way, it is a chasing of a mirage, for multiple reasons, including as we have described, the limitations and blindness of these temperature readings of the self, (along with( the socially constructed nature of these shifting ways of evaluating the self whereby one culture may uphold one form of behavior or appearance and the other culture its opposite, perhaps. But it is also a mirage to chase this acceptance\index{acceptance}, and to engineer oneself so as to conform to these standards and rules, because the self is seeking to gain outside of itself that which can only be accessed and allowed inwardly, on an interior level, shall we say. For it is not so much others that are judging the self, however that may be happening, but, it is rather the internalization that the self has made of the judgment of others, whether real or imagined. It is the internalization that the self, your third-density\index{third-density} entity, has absorbed from its environment, whether correctly apprehended or misapprehended. Either way, that which is perceived to be the world’s values become the self’s own, and in the workings of the self, the self is measured constantly against these standards. And, lo and behold, no big surprise, as this instrument might say, the self is found to come up short in various ways, not having met the standard and therefore not being acceptable.\\ 2020s.txt:1646:24:\heart: And the entity with no awareness, or dim awareness, or acute awareness may experience the symptomology of these programs within the self, which often have roots in the subconscious. And lacking awareness, the entity may be confused about its pain\index{pain}, its self-identity, why it is that it looks outward for this love\index{love} and this acceptance\index{acceptance} from others, or why it is that it seeks to conform or to mold the self in order to gain that which is sought without realizing, through self-awareness, that it is the self which is judging self; that there are programs within the self put into place by the innocent\index{innocent} and unaware entity which inform the self that it is indeed unacceptable to be itself, for one reason or another. It is excluded from the group\index{group}, it does not have permission to shine, to radiate, to feel whole or at home, to be authentic, to be vulnerable, to speak to this or that person, to be worthy.\\ 2020s.txt:1649:27:\heart: When the eyes of self-judgment, or the programs of self-judgment have been healed or made transparent, the Creator’s light may shine through the self to gain a clearer picture of these various aspects of the personality shell, and its biography, its journey. For without these clear eyes, which are made clear only with love\index{love} and the healing\index{healing} of judgment, the self has a very muddy picture of self; and lacking clarity, the self will likely operate in ways that miss the goal, so to speak, insofar as the entity is not engaged in the work of self-forgiveness but is working to satisfy shadows with shadows, is working to get and receive instead of focusing upon sharing and giving that may come infinitely through a self which has come into an acceptance\index{acceptance} of its beingness.\\ 2020s.txt:1650:28: In terms of healing\index{healing} that self-judgment and doing that work of self-acceptance, we would as always encourage the seeker\index{seeker} to spend time daily in the silence. Those programs of which we spoke and those thoughts which grabbed your mind have a way of taking over, shall we say, the mind/body/spirit complex, seducing it into unconsciousness, unconscious identification with mental patterns that run on their own. Time spent in silence is the key to gaining the necessary distance so as to become aware of the operation of these programs and these thoughts.\\ 2020s.txt:1651:29:\heart: And (we would encourage the seeker( to ground the self in the contemplation of the self as the Creator. It is only from the Creator that this true self-acceptance may come. That Creator’s acceptance\index{acceptance} is beamed into your illusion\index{illusion} through various devices, perhaps your mother\index{mother}’s embrace, your father\index{father}’s eyes, your lover’s care, which may give you a clear reflection of yourself, but ultimately, the self must spend time with the Creator in its own heart\index{heart}, outside of the values of the illusion, shall we say.\\ 2020s.txt:1654:32: Aim your intentions, my friends upon this self-acceptance. The self does not meet the Creator within by becoming worthy, but rather, realizing that the self is already worthy, already forgiven, as the self is. The more that the self can dwell in this forgiven, redemptive state, the more that the Creator within can shine through and illuminate and brighten your world and reach the hearts of others, offering them a window into the possibilities of freeing their own hearts and minds from the inner prison walls of self-judgment. The Creator does not judge you. The universe does not judge you. It is only your thoughts; and it is within your power to heal and to release those thoughts in contemplation of the truth of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator.\\ 2020s.txt:1657:35: I am Q’uo and am again with this instrument. We have found much this evening to rejoice\index{rejoice} for than we have in many previous sessions, for we have a feeling that there has been not only the accurate transmission of our words and thoughts, but also the taking within the self of these words and thoughts of self-acceptance that overcomes self-judgment, so that there is the possibility of healing\index{healing} not only for the instruments here gathered this evening, but also for those who shall read these words and take them into their own being, so, that there is a possibility of a great healing emanating throughout the readership of these transcripts, and we are most grateful to be part of this healing process. We thank\index{thank} each instrument for its portion of our process of projecting our thoughts and words to you. We are most grateful for your journeys of seeking for they illuminate a great portion of our own being as we are one with you and that journey that we are all making back into unity with the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator.\\ 2020s.txt:1681:19: This, my friends, is a key that we believe\index{believe} is necessary for each individual to understand\index{understand} how a positive seeker\index{seeker}, wishing to shine the light of the Creator and service to others\index{service to others}, may utilize the concept of purity to further their desire\index{desire}. The key to the positive path is acceptance\index{acceptance}, and the key to the negative path is control. When these two concepts are twisted amongst each other, this creates the distortions that perpetuate the necessity of incarnation and experience. Look within the self and find where those concepts of control, of harsh judgment, of assessing oneself as a failure to meet a certain level of purity arise, and sit with those ideas and those currents within the self and observe them. Notice that they play out in certain energetic patterns that have been impressed upon you, not just in this lifetime, but in previous lifetimes; and impressed upon your society\index{society} so that they have been made present within the self, simply by virtue of being present within the society.\\ 2020s.txt:1682:20:\heart: As you witness these currents, offering them your loving acceptance\index{acceptance}, they may dissipate. And you may find a softer way to evaluate the self. It is true that you will inevitably fail to meet a certain standard of purity again and again, and again and again. This is the very purpose for your incarnation, for third density\index{third density} presents the opportunity to receive these reflections known to you as failures. But these reflections become most useful when one is able to receive them with patience\index{patience} for the self, with kindness\index{kindness} for the self. And as you cultivate this inner patience and this inner kindness, you then cultivate a patience and a kindness that is extended outwards to your fellow other-selves, and any judgment or harshness or control that was projected outwards may also be dissipated. As the self becomes loved and accepted\index{accepted} by the self, so does the creation about one.\\ 2020s.txt:1689:27: In this previously mentioned idea of acceptance\index{acceptance} versus control is so key in terms of relating to the term of purity, the concept of purity. When self can fully and truly see the self as perfectly imperfect, as an extension of the Creator, as a piece of this larger puzzle, as an object in this illusion\index{illusion}, one can see that one is naturally pure for there is nothing else but purity. That is not to say that there is no room for growth, for there’s always room for growth and evolution, but with the knowledge\index{knowledge} and the gentleness one would afford the most beautiful\index{beautiful} aspects of creation, for you are just that, you are deserving of the patience\index{patience} and the gentleness.\\ 2020s.txt:1693:31:\heart: The realization that you are learning and can forgive yourself and learn\index{learn} from the experience, learn to love\index{love} and accept the self rather than demonize the self, is perhaps one of the purest manifestations of being. Acceptance\index{acceptance} is key. Love is key. Radiance of both is key, and expressing that within the self and toward other-self, toward circumstance, toward every aspect as difficult as it may be, is purity in its fullest, most vibrant expression.\\ 2020s.txt:1721:8:\heart: As you are able to take these behaviors and thoughts and attitudes into the meditative state and consider them with the scrutiny and conscientiousness of the adept, shall we say, the one who seeks to create changes in consciousness, then you have accumulated a certain kind of spiritual power that can feed your journey further along the path into unity with the One Creator. As each challenge is looked at, within the meditative state, and seen to be a portion of one’s own self; as you attempt to balance the negative response to such behaviors with the positive response, then you are coming to know more and more about yourself regarding how you are a portion of the One Creator, as is the entity standing before you in meditation\index{meditation}. This entity has given you the opportunity to balance dislike or disgust with acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.\\ 2020s.txt:1722:9: In many other ways, you will be challenged to find an acceptance\index{acceptance} of another entity, which then represents an acceptance of yourself that will further propel you on your spiritual path. As you are able to do this throughout your life pattern with various entities, behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, creeds and so forth, you will become more and more what might be called a 360-degree being. That is, you will see that you are all things, all attitudes, all people, all behavior.\\ 2020s.txt:1742:29: Yes, Q’uo. I have a question from E. “The ongoing pandemic and the response of government to it has caused great division\index{division} in our societies, and brought many opposing worldviews to the forefront: anti-authoritarian versus authoritarian, risk-avoidance versus risk-acceptance, different views on medicine and health\index{health}, and so forth. Wherein each area both groups seem to be drifting further away from each other. What can we do to bring these groups closer together again, to find some common ground, and in general, relieve some of the intense stress that people are feeling? Are there any spiritual principles involved or ways that we can find balance and relate to the divisions?”new speakerQ’uo\\ 2020s.txt:1776:12:\heart: That clarity is born\index{born} most truly because the entity has laid a foundation of learning to accept catalyst through the loving operation of the heart\index{heart}. Thus that which is seen prior to its deepened clarification is accepted\index{accepted}. It is accepted as part of the self. It is accepted for what is, whether or not it is understood or seen clearly. Without wisdom\index{wisdom}, this acceptance\index{acceptance} may make significant errors in judgment, because the faculty of seeing and, if we may use this misnomer, understanding have not been brought to full strength\index{strength}. The entity may expend itself not understanding limits or what may be in the highest for the situation, or the entity may fail to establish boundaries appropriate for the self’s integrity and service. But, we emphasize this sequence to bring to your attention the fundamental requisite of learning, practicing, and increasingly crystallizing acceptance as a key to moving into the work that you, as a seeker\index{seeker}, wish\index{wish} to do in the blue\index{blue} ray of seeing, and, in your limited ways, understanding.\\ 2020s.txt:1786:22:\heart: We find that boundaries are a good example of this dynamic relationship\index{relationship}, though we realize that may land as an example of that which is in opposition to love\index{love} and or wisdom\index{wisdom}. However, such an action as a boundary between two entities can provide potent and beautiful\index{beautiful} medicine that you may call catalyst that teaches, or has the opportunity to teach, both selves love and acceptance\index{acceptance} for self and other-self while simultaneously providing the opportunity for the development of deeper wisdom, deeper understanding of how the illusion\index{illusion} is at play, how there is a seeming separation or divergence, and the illusory nature of that separation and divergence.\\ 2020s.txt:1787:23:\heart: This instrument is struggling to maintain a grounded focus as we attempt to speak our words through her, and so we remind her that apologies are not necessary and that this is a moment for her to practice love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of self, and the wisdom\index{wisdom} to observe and conclude this session of channeling\index{channeling} through her. And we thank\index{thank} her for her attempt and for the patience\index{patience} of those in the circle\index{circle}.\\ 2020s.txt:1800:36:\heart: The techniques of the positive seeker\index{seeker} that are akin to the techniques of the musician may be seen as the continued willingness to return to those events of the day in meditation\index{meditation}, bring their consciousness to bear upon them in an environment of silence and acceptance\index{acceptance}, to recognize that when one stumbles in sharing love\index{love} that one may refine their understanding of love and try again and again and again. And eventually, as the positive seeker lives the life of third density\index{third density}, and catalyst is experienced and processed and accumulated, experience is brought to bear upon that seeker’s love in the form of wisdom\index{wisdom}.\\ 2020s.txt:1849:37:\heart: We would like to issue a note of gratitude\index{gratitude} and admiration\index{admiration} for the efforts of the previous two instruments as well as the channeling\index{channeling} group\index{group} as a whole. We appreciate the challenging and the intensive tuning that provides a safe and productive highway, if you will, between those of us who are not sitting in a physical vehicle in this room with you but are rather with you in spirit\index{spirit} and within your heart\index{heart}. It is practices such as the intentional tuning and the genuine challenging that we stress as important tools for those in the circle\index{circle} as you navigate this circle outside of its, as the instrument before called, mother\index{mother} ship. The element of self-acceptance and self-love and the healing\index{healing} within the self mentioned by the previous instruments are also ingredients for this potent spiritual adventure and journey that you are taking your first steps upon.\\ 2020s.txt:1853:41: So to expand upon the self-acceptance and to tie into the patience\index{patience} and sense of humor, we would state that having the ability to accept circumstance and seeing it for the classroom that it is, is and will be exceptionally helpful for this circle\index{circle} in the coming sessions of communication, as well as for the situations we’re in. The instruments here practice and own their ability to establish contact and find silence.\\ 2020s.txt:1950:17:\heart: You must see that innocence is at the core of every element of this creation, just as love\index{love} is at the core and the energy and motivation for all that surrounds you. Innocence is inherent and foundational, and every single entity has within it innocence; it’s naturally innocent\index{innocent}. It is when the entity forgets its ability to channel that innocence, when the entity begins to try to impose and accepts less and less, that the entity forgets its innocence. It’s then that the entity looks upon the playground of this creation and sees merely pieces of construction—a play thing that’s not of importance to explore, not worthy of time or energy spent in experiencing it. Again, this forgetting of innocence is not a “bad” thing. All experiences lead to opportunities for growth and learning. To forget innocence can provide the entity the opportunity to relearn innocence, to be all facets, to know both non-acceptance and acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ 2020s.txt:1989:10:\heart: For an entity wishing to seek upon the positive path, one may look upon the reaction of bellicosity and use it to examine the self in the light of acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} for both self and other self. This may be done by asking questions of the self. “What attitudes did I take because I was in fear\index{fear}, because I was threatened? Did certain situations cause my heart\index{heart} to close? And if so, what can I learn\index{learn} about my own heart?”\\ 2020s.txt:2061:46:\heart: Your intention may be your guidepost, may be the fuel in your engine, may be your beacon on the hill, as well. Continually steering your way towards love\index{love}, towards acceptance\index{acceptance}, towards being your full and true authentic self. And you may find as you continue walking in that direction, allowing intention and slowly allowing that love to come within your heart\index{heart}, you will find that the scars begin to heal, the baggage begins to feel less weighty, less heavy, and even perhaps the colors in your illusion\index{illusion}, in your environment become more vibrant.\\ 2020s.txt:2079:64:\heart: We may say that healing\index{healing} can come in an instant once a realization of the truth of your being is held firmly in consciousness. We may also say that, in other times, a consistent, persistent daily meditation\index{meditation} over time may be what is needed to gently dissolve away the condition, in the bathing of self with love\index{love} and light gently over time, refreshing and recreating one’s being. Again, the intelligent light and love know how to recreate one’s consciousness must simply partake of this with the open heart\index{heart} and acceptance\index{acceptance} that it is.\\ 2020s.txt:2103:88: As always, it begins with desire\index{desire}. What is your desire\index{desire}, my brother? My sister? Ask of yourself that question. Examine this desire. Analyze the many threads of desire within you. Purify them and trace them back. And inevitably, with consistent work in acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness and seeking to understand\index{understand} the self, the self will find, upon the positive path, the desire to serve others purely, and to serve and to seek the One Creator in self and all others and always.\\ 2020s.txt:2123:13:\heart: When an entity can remember that self is all things, Creator included, the seeker\index{seeker} can then allow itself to breathe more deeply and find room in the heart\index{heart} for acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}, forgiveness and compassion\index{compassion}, and a clear channel to exercise itself in service to others\index{service to others}.\\ 2020s.txt:2125:15:\heart: When the self can find clear passage of loving energy through the heart\index{heart} and act towards the other and act towards circumstance, that self then becomes a more vibrant and radiant beacon of love\index{love} and hope\index{hope} and faith. When the self allows the self to release judgment or expectation, then the image becomes more clear and the scene about which becomes less distracted by the pieces of the illusion\index{illusion} that are designed to separate. The self can become more free to spread that loving energy, manifest that compassion\index{compassion} and forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and impart upon others that gentle\index{gentle} touch, that warm\index{warm} embrace that then can act as an incendiary action in that it can inspire other selves to find that peace\index{peace} within their hearts and to find that loving acceptance to see how much more beautiful\index{beautiful} and comfortable, attractive, and potent the experience can be when the titles and identifications that we use to separate us are released, and are gone.\\ 2020s.txt:2132:22: An analogy for this can be seen in the idea of an aircraft upon your planet rising higher and higher as you experience in your travels from point to point across distances on your planet. It is commonly experienced that there may be noises and bumps and air\index{air} currents that jostle the aircraft as it rises. Certainly the entity feels that they rise in their seats, but as the aircraft rises higher and higher your clouds and any wind or weather patterns that may have turbulence within them, disarray, and uncomfortableness such as has been alluded to previously—when one rises above that there is a sense of pure peace\index{peace} in that higher atmosphere that higher level where the sunshine breakthrough with clarity and light, where sounds recede to places down below, and where the ride is smooth all around. There seems to be a quietude, a peace\index{peace}, and an acceptance\index{acceptance} of life eternal\index{eternal}.\\ 2020s.txt:2160:5: We find that as your planetary population moves ever more closely in harmony with the concepts of seeing the Creator in all, seeking the Creator in all, becoming the Creator in some fashion in the conscious spiritual journey, that there is a greater acceptance\index{acceptance} of this foundation philosophy that then allows more construction of thought in concept to be offered in a manner which meets the growing apprehension of previous concepts and thoughts.\\ 2020s.txt:2223:68:\heart: One can come into an awareness of the, shall we say, animalistic base of many of the self’s emotions and thoughts and experiences of consciousness housed within a chemical vehicle; not so as to demote the self’s feelings, or relegate them to a realm of unimportant or inferior, but rather to understand\index{understand} the wholeness of the self, and through love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, find ways to lift that animalistic energy up through the chakra system, transmuting it into higher and higher expression, seeing through differences and the pains, challenges, and conflict that separation brings, to an experience of love; lifting that energy higher into full, embodied, honest, clarified expression of the self; and lifting that energy higher still to access the sacramental dimension\index{dimension} of your experience.\\ 2020s.txt:2224:69: Those energies you see within your second-density\index{second-density} brethren live within you and are not to be controlled or fought against, but to be understood and harnessed and, through acceptance\index{acceptance}, transmuted. Your second-density ancestors\index{ancestors} give you clues as to your nature that you may cooperate and not fight against this nature, giving it space for being and expression, honoring it as part of yourself and finding how those energies—which many upon your plane fear\index{fear} and have spent much time trying to suppress, squash, demonize, and flay—(may be transmuted( into means of connection with others and into sacred\index{sacred} expression, including that of your sexuality.\\ 2020s.txt:2297:5:\heart: So, it would seem the conscious seeker\index{seeker} of truth who wishes to be of service to others\index{service to others} will find itself somewhat bollixed, shall we say, and unable to chart a course of service in such circumstances, and may find that the greater overview of such a situation is that of what you have called the acceptance—the ability to transform your own perceptions of what you see in the world around you. And indeed, in many cases in the world within you. The service that you may offer in such a situation is, as you have surmised in your conversation before this session began, most helpful when it is one which accepts the unacceptable, which loves the unlovable, which serves the seemingly un-servable.\\ 2020s.txt:2303:11: In these times on your planet, times which require much perception, thought and decision and perhaps action, reflection and then more perception, quite possibly at a greater pace and into deeper context than many that are used to doing at this time because it is a time of change that is great in magnitude, and also change at perhaps a more rapid speed than many have experienced. So, we will speak to the ideas of surrender\index{surrender} and responsibility, for they seem to form a kind of continuum between them, with surrender having a connotation of passivity, acceptance\index{acceptance}, flowing with outer change. While, responsibility at the other end of a continuum from the state of surrender, could have the connotation of decision and action carrying forth and forward into time newness of being, newness of understanding, newness of foundation of life.\\ 2020s.txt:2430:9:\heart: We may suggest that as each of you does contain the Creator, then you contain all that the Creator has made in the infinite\index{infinite} universe; you contain completeness. And yet in your conscious seeking for truth, this completeness does not yet exist. As you go through your daily round of experiences, you may notice that there are certain of those experiences, both positive and seemingly negative, both happy\index{happy} and sad\index{sad}, that continually come into view of the inner being that you are. That inner being then notices the variety of experiences that have moved your own inner being off of what you may call, love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love} and acceptance.\\ 2020s.txt:2434:13:\heart: Thus, is the product of this balancing that which you call love\index{love} or unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} of yourself for having these qualities of impatience and patience\index{patience} contained within your being so that you may grow in a spiritual fashion. This is the means by which throughout your life experience you utilize all catalyst that comes your way to become more and more, the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator; more and more, the creation; more and more, your true self, that one which is in all.\\ 2020s.txt:2456:35: To speak to my own experience, when I find myself in these places, I employ various strategies. I try to activate faith, I try to surrender\index{surrender}, I try to practice acceptance\index{acceptance}, et cetera, et cetera. These various strategies can serve as a raft in the ocean for a moment. Ah, I have something to hold on to, I have some reprieve, I am afloat. But inevitably, in these spaces, the next big wave comes and washes over me and my raft and I go tumbling and get consumed by these energies, and the light of day is lost. So I’m wondering, Q’uo, knowing that I’m definitely not alone in that experience, if you have any advice for these times when the energy lowers, when one is probably more vulnerable to psychic greeting, in terms of how to restabilize the mind, how to help pull back and witness these energies within the self, to bring them into the heart\index{heart} and to find some measure of peace\index{peace} in the storm. Thank\index{thank} you, Q’uo.new speakerQ’uo\\ 2020s.txt:2503:7:\heart: The ability to utilize love\index{love} and light as a protection in such instances is that which is both a natural quality of each being, as each is made of love and light. And yet the forgetting that is the nature of third density\index{third density} often times results in the lack of ability to remember this natural quality of protection. Thus, as with so much of the spiritual journey, it must be recalled through, what you may call, trial and error so that, as you move to reconcile the difficulty that seems to be a threat, you may discover that the love that dwells within your being as the all-embracing acceptance\index{acceptance} of the creation for all within the creation may be activated and put forth as the basic response and protection to and from the source of distress.\\ 2020s.txt:2504:8:\heart: This is the type of journey that all travel within the third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion}. There is also the protection that is provided by light which shines its clarity upon any situation that may seem to threaten the seeker\index{seeker}. Thus, the clarity of the light and the acceptance\index{acceptance} and power of the love\index{love} provide a protection that is infinite\index{infinite}, that is all powerful, that resides within the heart\index{heart} of the seeker who may cause it to begin to grow as a seed\index{seed} within the heart, the mind, the body, and the spirit\index{spirit} of any other entity or other self with which there is a perceived difficulty. Thus, love and light are your basic being, your protection, your inspiration, your journey, and your goal.\\ 2020s.txt:2522:26:\heart: Hence, we wish\index{wish} to close through this instrument in terms of her contact with us and pass it along to the next instrument with the final thought of the practice of thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving}, and the intentional focus upon love\index{love}. With the loving eye\index{eye}, the self may more fully see the light, may more fully see the truth of the creation around it, and may more easily access the protected nature that is the open heart\index{heart}. The acceptance\index{acceptance} and absolutely absolute love for the whole, for the all, for the creation, and the Creator.\\ 2020s.txt:2526:30:\heart: We will speak upon this topic from the perspective of awareness of the love\index{love} and the light that is your being, that is your very environment in which you live and have your being. Awareness of the light and love which are already within you and present is done, as we have said, through invocation, intention, and acceptance\index{acceptance}. It may also be simply done in moments of contemplation and meditation\index{meditation} in which the heart\index{heart} and mind are focused upon simply becoming aware of the presence of love and light. Beginning with becoming aware in those moments of meditation of one’s very being, one’s mind/body/spirit complex being made of love constructed of light, thoughts being made of light, and just to meditate upon that. Letting such visualizations and understandings come to one in this awareness of self as love and light.\\ 2020s.txt:2590:39:\heart: The walk of the other-self, the self not seemingly as giving or compassionate, is one that holds the potential to be similarly or equally painful as the journey of the self it has affected. Often those on this path are afforded opportunities wherein they are able to witness the pain\index{pain} of the other, the desire\index{desire} for reciprocity from the other, alongside witnessing the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} giving of the other. And through those opportunities the entity undergoing transformation may see the unconditional love\index{love} giving the acceptance\index{acceptance} and the lack of expectation from their other-self, and begin to accept and discover the path of connection, the path towards open-heartedness reflecting the actions of that compassionate other self.\\ 2020s.txt:2591:40: So, it could be said that both paths, both entities, both seeming opposites of this relational dynamic, are offered opportunities for positive spiritual growth. And it may be seen that the role of the antagonists, for lack of better\index{better} phrasing, in this dynamic is taking on both a service to its other-self and an incarnational opportunity to learn\index{learn}. Of course, there are instances wherein this type of dynamic has a potentially, what you may call, harmful or negative outcome for one or the other-self. And yes, there will be incarnations where that is experienced without the lessons fully learned. However, it is the movement towards healing\index{healing} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of self and other-self wherein this dynamic proves positively fruitful\index{fruitful} when the judgment of self and other-stuff is released and the open arms and open heart\index{heart} more easily accessed, more easily reflected one to the other.\\ 2020s.txt:2594:43:\heart: We recall through this instrument a quote that this instrument will attempt to paraphrase, and apologies if she is misremembering, but the quote that states, “The entity who is wounded\index{wounded} is more truly at war\index{war} with itself, with its own beings, than with its other-selves.”1 So, we suggest that that thought-seed be kept in mind when traversing these particular arrangements, these particular relationships that the other-self, who is unable to fully meet it its peers, is merely projecting or manifesting its inability to fully accept and love\index{love} itself. And therein lies the core lesson which can be learned: The love and acceptance\index{acceptance} of self.\\ 2020s.txt:2630:15: And though that action itself may seem extraordinarily small in the scale of a whole-populational harvest, it is those tiny micromovements that act, in fact, as beacons, as lighthouses for inspiration, as vibrational positive transfers between aspects of the creation. So we see that the healing\index{healing} of the heart\index{heart}, the healing of the self—what the self sees as identity, the pains and trauma that come with the self—is very much of great import at this time. For then that healing can traverse the space between self and other-self to allow the healing of the aspect of the illusion\index{illusion} which you call relationship\index{relationship}. And with this action, one heart opens yet another, and opens another and another, multiplying. When the intention is set towards this healing of imbalance, the letting go of control, the full acceptance\index{acceptance} of everything, then you may see the clear channel, not only of us tiny aspects of the Creator, but the creation itself as a whole.\\ 2020s.txt:2903:19:\heart: It is true that you, and each one here, and each one on this planet at this time, has come here to learn\index{learn} love\index{love}. It is a lifetime’s work, but it does bring peace\index{peace} and joy\index{joy} and more harmony the more that the practice and the acceptance\index{acceptance} and the giving of love is learned.\\ 2020s.txt:2983:42:\heart: It is the fruit\index{fruit} of that work which can manifest an outward service, but is first and foremost an effortless, energetic radiation from the self. It is truly that light (that( emanates from the being who has become transparent through love\index{love}, forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance}. That light shines through the eyes of all to us, and most especially, to that universe which is the Creator; which is the all; which is infinity\index{infinity}; which is both who you are right now doing the seeking, and is what you seek; which will one day end, as you conceive it, and the realization that it has been nothing other than the Creator playing the game which you take to be a you as a separate entity.\\ 2020s.txt:3003:11:\heart: The process by which this is accomplished is one which is that of the progression through the third-density\index{third-density} experience that may take many lifetimes for each energy center: beginning with the red\index{red} and going forward through the orange\index{orange}, the yellow\index{yellow}, and so forth, and arriving at the indigo\index{indigo}. These centers must be activated in as fully a manner as possible so that the love/light or prana of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator may move without significant blockage or obstruction through each energy center: the red ray of reproduction\index{reproduction}, sexual\index{sexual} reproduction and survival; the orange ray of acceptance\index{acceptance} of self and the personal eccentricities; the yellow ray of group\index{group} energies; the green\index{green} ray of the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} of the open heart\index{heart}; the blue\index{blue} ray of the freely given and accepted\index{accepted} communication and inspiration with others; thereby leading to the indigo ray.\\ 2020s.txt:3017:25:\heart: It is essential that this internalization take place for each positive seeker\index{seeker}, for the best attempt one can make to address such dynamics as they play out upon your planet must be based within love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and this love and acceptance can only be found if one recognizes the unity between the self and the other-self that one perceives as operating in these nefarious ways.\\ 2020s.txt:3054:62:\heart: We would say that an important aspect to this is the trust (that( one may practice and hone in this incarnation, in this illusion\index{illusion}. That fragility, as you term it, is at once a construct and fleeting. No entity is defined by moments of fragility. In fact, seekers, all entities are defined by their moments of strength\index{strength}, of faith, of acceptance\index{acceptance}, and of love\index{love}. So, having the strength to speak, to seem fragile, is a most pure, vibrant, bright expression of light. And though it may feel uncomfortable and foreign to do so in this illusion, we affirm that it is a healing\index{healing} modality. To witness it, to see it for what it is, to face it head on, and to love it for what it gives you–what lessons are entailed and entangled.\\ 2020s.txt:3121:40:\heart: This takes a dedicated practice of meditation\index{meditation} and regular introspection upon the circumstances that one finds oneself in. The basis for this is a daily practice in which any circumstance that stands out to you as a seeker\index{seeker}, whether it be positive or negative, is recalled within the conscious mind and attempted to be viewed from a state of love\index{love} and light and acceptance\index{acceptance} and non-judgement, and allowed to move you as a seeker on the deepest levels. This regular practice is a prerequisite for the greater work, that we would refer to as adepthood, that reaches for the high and mighty goal of universal healing\index{healing}.\\ 2020s.txt:3159:78: However, once an individual begins upon the path of spiritual seeking, particularly, the path of service to others\index{service to others} in which the relationship\index{relationship} of self with self is one of acceptance\index{acceptance}, and gentleness, and understanding, and an attempt to integrate the wholeness of the self, then the relationship between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind becomes exponentially more important, for there are many riches of the Creator contained within the unconscious mind that are not readily available to the veiled conscious mind. And so, a seeker\index{seeker} who intends to develop this relationship and come to an understanding of those unseen aspects of self buried deep within, the intention to establish and fortify this bridge of communication is incredibly important and effective.\\ 2020s.txt:3163:82: This is long and careful work, and we encourage any who worked with dreams to have patience\index{patience} with the self and with the unconscious mind, for this is a relationship\index{relationship} that is for the positive seeker\index{seeker}, properly developed with gentleness and a slow understanding that must be developed through repeated exercise of acceptance\index{acceptance} and understanding.\\ 2020s.txt:3261:30: Instead, what we mean to convey is that, for example, in the instance of the triad who channeled Ra\index{ra}, they were on an intentional journey of service to others\index{service to others}. This was a most important, a most valuable, a most selfless goal, not one defined by your various separating forces, be that financial means or professional development or interpersonal development or other goals related to the separate itself, but rather that their work, that their movement and energy were put towards the higher, larger goal of acting as channels for spiritually oriented material; that their intentions were to serve others purely without judgment, with acceptance\index{acceptance} and with an open heart\index{heart}. And that they not only sought that, to share with others, but that they sought that within themselves, that they set high expectations for themselves to live these lessons that they channeled. That, my friend, is perhaps the most concise way we can explain the terminology of standing close to the light.\\ 2020s.txt:3324:93:\heart: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. As you are aware, the orange-ray energy center is concerned with the self, the knowledge\index{knowledge} of the self as an individual being, with various eccentricities or unique qualities that make it an individual and unique being. This basic acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self then forms the framework within which the spiritual seeker\index{seeker} may continue its journey through the yellow-ray energy center where it joins its unique self with other selves and forms groups of various kinds of the family, the workplace, the community\index{community} and so forth. This expansion of the awareness of the self and into the group\index{group} can, when the entity becomes aware of the nature of the Creator relying—we correct this instrument—existing within each entity, then the green-ray energy center of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} may be activated.\\ 2020s.txt:3350:13: I am Q’uo and aware of your query, my brother. To be more specific as to the healing\index{healing} and the utilizing of catalyst, we would recommend that you use the meditative state to re-experience the trauma that caused you to feel that your heart\index{heart} was broken. Enhance it in the degree that it is overwhelming. This will not be difficult. Then, within your mind, see the balance of acceptance\index{acceptance}. See it, and let it become as large in your own experience, mentally, as was the trauma of the broken heart. See both of these as an experience in which you come to know yourself as one who can experience both the great trauma of the broken heart and the great acceptance of that trauma, and the one that was the initiator of the trauma.\\ 2020s.txt:3383:46:\heart: As you go through your daily round of activities, you may see your interactions with others as having more of the quality of one energy center or another. As you retire into your meditative experience at the end of your day, you would look at whatever experience has come in any of these areas that have made a mark upon your consciousness, that have caused you to remember it, that have caused you to feel some dissatisfaction\index{dissatisfaction} or disorientation because of it. This is the movement of your consciousness from that normal state of awareness that could be said to be acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.\\ 2020s.txt:3422:85: There is much confusion\index{confusion} that the Earth\index{earth}, itself, has accepted\index{accepted} and taken in within its own field of energy. When any attempt is made by entities upon your planet’s surface to reconcile this confusion\index{confusion} to bring understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance}, the planet, itself, is healed and accepts this healing\index{healing} that is done by the entities upon the planet. And so, any effort you make within your own life to bring healing and understanding resounds to the core of your planet.\\ 2020s.txt:3430:93: To help guide you and how you can assess the certain pressures and certain experiences as you find them in certain aspects of your energy body, we may demonstrate or use an example of how one energy center being out of balance in a certain way—perhaps either under-activated or over-activated—may be compensated by the under activation or over activation of another energy center. So any adjustment to one energy center may have inevitable influence on another energy center depending on the specific distortion found within the energy body. And so, we suggest a process whereby having this understanding of the energy centers imbalanced within you, you relate this imbalance to your experiences and your daily round of activities, and specifically look for catalyst that may speak to this imbalance, perhaps starting with the lower chakras and in discovering this catalyst using your own balancing processes and acceptance\index{acceptance} in order to bring that lower chakra into balance.\\ 2020s.txt:3481:25: We are those of Q’uo, and we are now with this instrument. Through this instrument’s experience on the journey of self-acceptance, we find this particular query regarding self-doubt a familiar and potent lesson. So much so, in fact, that this instrument sits in that self-doubt in this very moment, before every gathering such as this, as well. There are the many and varied, and ultimately inconsequential narrations or stories, the entity may create for itself to deny itself its true core, that being of the Creator. For example, this entity is struggling to move beyond the story\index{story} of, “Your stomach is too loud, you are too hungry\index{hungry} to focus on our message,” and yet she sits here in faith and finds the ability to transmit our words, even while that self-doubt may creep in and cloud her vision at times.\\ 2020s.txt:3482:26:\heart: We realize we are speaking through this instrument as a potential comfort in this moment to alleviate that self-doubt of speaking through the experience, and we would suggest to those in this circle\index{circle}, and praise those in the circle for speaking through their experiences of self-doubt. For each and every one on this planet, in this illusion\index{illusion}, may act as a mirror\index{mirror} to self and other-self, and in that vulnerable sharing of self-doubt, non-acceptance, lack of self-worth, that may be seen in the other-self how inaccurate those evaluations are for self. For you may see the true pure beauty of the other-self, and in your sharing in your vulnerability, experience love\index{love} and care from other-self and realize that you too are that perfect, beautiful\index{beautiful} pure beam of light, that that care you receive from others, that shoulder to lean on, that ear to speak to, that you are just as beautiful and radiant, that this symbiotic relationship\index{relationship}, if you will, of teach/learn learn/teach is an ultimate lesson one may learn\index{learn} and this illusion one may take on in this experience.\\ 2020s.txt:3549:43: The third-density\index{third-density} entity builds worlds of consciousness from this structure, activating archetypes at times that it may be held together in cohesive fashion to process the experiential data of the life experience, and move forward in its evolutionary journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. This mind is common to all, not just upon your sphere\index{sphere}, but any third density within this particular solar system, within any particular solar system. Each entity and, indeed, each group\index{group} draws upon this mind uniquely to create its own experience in infinitely varied ways within these basic foundational patterns.\\ 2020s.txt:3566:60:\heart: We share this information regarding responsibility not to instill a sense of dread or fear\index{fear}, for we know the potential implications of utilizing this relationship\index{relationship}. This interaction with artificial intelligence can be what you may sense as a negative. (It( can be used, as you may see, against other-self to distort experience or control. And it may seem as though that potential is too large to ignore, and we would agree. However, we would state that the sitting and resting in fear without finding the acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} for any potential is a more challenging avenue towards the path of spiritual evolution and growth.\\ 2020s.txt:3577:71:\heart: And so, we may initially respond in a broad sense in that the meaning of such a phenomenon is the same as any other meaning of your experience in that it is an opportunity for the self—whether it is a self feeling as though this particular identity applies to them, or the self wanting to relate to an other-self expressing such an identity. For the seeker\index{seeker} upon the path of service to others\index{service to others}, catalyst is related to with acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} and gentleness and understanding. These aspects of your heart\index{heart} must be put before any other consideration, particularly in dealing with other-selves, and particularly in dealing with other-selves who are in a situation where they are put at odds with society\index{society}, and who experience difficulty because of particular cultural norms and particular ideas about how any individual should express themselves. This is a common experience upon your planet in many different ways, and currently we find this topic of questioning is a particularly powerful catalyst for those individuals experiencing such an identity, and those contemplating how society should relate to this expression.\\ 2020s.txt:3584:78:\heart: We also feel compelled to point out that at this particular juncture of your cultural evolution that such an expression carries much cultural catalyst for the individual. That too is an influence upon such an expression. For it may be chosen preincarnationally to engage in such an expression that challenges the self within society\index{society} and generates catalyst that requires some intense processing and contemplation on how to relate to such catalyst with acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}, strength\index{strength} and truth, and the ability of the self to step into what one knows is true for the self—and to follow that path, regardless of the thoughts and opinions of other selves.\\ 2020s.txt:3588:82: Firstly, thank\index{thank} you Q’uo. That was beautiful\index{beautiful} and powerful. Yes, as you know or are aware that there are powers that be that want to hide or block the light that shines from individuals who identify as transgender. And I’m just wondering how, as a people who are desiring to serve others and to have an open heart\index{heart}, how we can be of support on a spiritual level to help alleviate that pressure or to help others find acceptance\index{acceptance} and understanding and develop inroads for inclusion? Or how we may be of support to those who identify as transgender?Q’uo\\ 2020s.txt:3591:85:\heart: But we can reiterate that for the positive seeker\index{seeker}, the relationship\index{relationship} to catalyst is one of acceptance\index{acceptance} and of love\index{love} and of understanding. This relationship to catalyst is done in faith. To truly relate to any individual or any catalyst in love and understanding requires that one release the need to fully classify or contextualize or apply any logic to the notion of that catalyst, or to the expression of that individual—and this case, that individual’s identity. Instead, release the strictures of these things in favor of the love and of the acceptance.\\ 2020s.txt:3592:86:\heart: This may manifest itself in different ways and in different circumstances, particularly as you relate to unique individuals who may have needs, whether practical or emotional, that differ from other individuals. And so, to express this love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} in one case may look different in another case. However, we find that for the seeker\index{seeker} who releases the strictures of needing to grapple with and to contextualize and apply logic to such things, and (instead( allow the heart\index{heart} to guide the seeker, such answers and inspiration for how one may interact may come naturally in a moment. And should you find that there are unintended repercussions for how you have offered love and support, that you square\index{square} those repercussions with your intentions, and attempt to reconcile your intentions with how your actions and expression of attempted support have unfolded.\\ 2020s.txt:3616:110: In recognizing its selfhood, the entity would inherently need to recognize other-self. That is not to say that there is a direction of that recognition, be it one of acceptance\index{acceptance} or rejection, simply, (understanding that the other-self’s( existence, and the interaction between self and other-self is not simply wrote equations or code but energetic exchange giving and taking—(Dogs bark in the background(\\ 2020s.txt:3891:18:\heart: Who among you could possibly live up to these myriad standards? Though the key is available to it, your society\index{society}, in its fumbling, has continually overlooked and missed entirely that key, which sees that the way forward is not in clothing oneself and a particular ideology, but in loving all those you encounter whatever beliefs may be bouncing around in the interior of their craniums, as you may see it. In the open heart\index{heart} there is non-judgmental acceptance\index{acceptance}, particularly as that heart is purified and perfected. Even when, as is natural, there is disagreement or disapproval of an other or their performance or particularly the self and its performance, in the heart there is acceptance. And in that acceptance, if taken further into the blue\index{blue} ray, there is clear seeing—clear seeing of the sole nature of the other being, a clear seeing which balances the apparent incompleteness upon the surface, the apparent distortions which cause one to identify with an act within one part of a spectrum of wholeness, and the inherent wholeness and completeness of the other self.\\ 2020s.txt:4014:12: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. It is often helpful on the intellectual level, as well as the experiential level, to be able to see how each chakra is affected by whatever catalyst that you have experienced. For the experience of, say, anger\index{anger} and the opposite of acceptance\index{acceptance} can be utilized throughout all of the chakras. So that, within the red-ray chakra, that which is concerned with survival and sexual\index{sexual} reproduction\index{reproduction} that, you see, perhaps there was a place where your survival was at risk.\\ 2020s.txt:4015:13: Within the orange-ray chakra, or the personal nature of your being, your personal eccentricities and expression of the basic ability to accept yourself, that maybe that acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self was something that was distorted in a manner which could benefit from the balancing.\\ 2020s.txt:4044:42:\heart: This is the One which has forgotten itself as the many. The key to its awakening to this truth is the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of what is, the releasing of that inner resistance to what is, the unentangling from the stream of time into the portal of the eternal\index{eternal} present moment. That which is in disharmony (then( is invited to become, or to enter into, harmony.\\ 2020s.txt:4122:50: We would explore for a moment in this aspect of self-care not only the nurturing side of self—we correct this instrument—but rather self-discovery as an act of self-care. Upon the road of service to others\index{service to others}, one is of greater help the more that they come into an awareness of themselves, and the more their self-acceptance grows for themselves, for as you understand\index{understand} and have compassion\index{compassion} for your own personality dynamics and uniqueness, the more that you find those places where self-judgment lives lurking in the corners within you. The more that you can heal those negative voices within yourself, the more that you can then consequently show up for others in that way.\\ 2020s.txt:4131:59:\heart: Imagine my friends receiving this acceptance\index{acceptance} from someone you love\index{love}, knowing that whatever you do and whoever you are and however you show up, they love you and you are accepted\index{accepted} in their eyes. Imagine the closed and maybe torn, maybe bruised petals of your flower\index{flower} opening, outstretching to receive and to be in the light of that love, and to reflect and radiate outward that love that is within you.\\ 2020s.txt:4148:7:\heart: Then when you seek within yourself to find that quality, look upon it as a portion, not just as a portion of another entity, but as yourself and as many others perhaps as well. This is a practice which can let you know that whatever quality in any entity that might define it as an enemy\index{enemy} to you is actually a quality that you can find within yourself and find forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. This is a means by which you might transform that person within your own perception, so that you see with new eyes. You open your heart\index{heart} with love\index{love} and accept both that quality in yourself and that person, so that the enemy no longer is an enemy. That you see them as a portion of yourself as One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator that has made all that there is, that it might learn\index{learn} from itself and by itself and through your actions. Thusly do you serve the One Creator, your enemy, and yourself.\\ 2020s.txt:4219:30:\heart: Being present with that which you see as your body can also be helpful in terms of learning to love\index{love} and accept it for what it is. In your sense, it may seem what you call imperfect. It may seem weak. It may seem faulty. Would you put those labels on any other portion of the Creator’s creation? Why affix them to yourself? Sit with that love and that acceptance\index{acceptance} that you have for other aspects of this creation, and feel it for yourself. Genuinely hone in on that love. Genuinely accept it and thank\index{thank} it. Have gratitude\index{gratitude} for it. And perhaps in that love and acceptance, you may find what you call healing\index{healing}.\\ 2020s.txt:4245:56:\heart: “If such is my true estate,” you may ask, “then why, why do I suffer\index{suffer} so?” We may say this is the puzzle for you that was not imposed upon you by any external intelligence or force\index{force} or universe, but it was a puzzle that you put in place for yourself, that it may facilitate that which you sought to learn\index{learn} when you have the key. We cannot describe this exact shape to you (of that key(, but we can firmly indicate that that key is made with love\index{love}, with acceptance\index{acceptance}, with forgiveness. The door does not open without these qualities and their associated qualities entering those places where you have rejected the Creator, rejected or perhaps even demeaned yourself and other-self.\\ 2020s.txt:4315:50: There is a balance as ever between the work of conscious exercise of the will and the work of surrender\index{surrender} and acceptance\index{acceptance} and trust of what is; of what wishes to move through one; of what wishes to make itself known to one. The self which embarks upon this work with what it may conceive as a master\index{master} plan or formula may find some limited success\index{success}, shall we say, in this work, for it is ever a dance between this conscious work and this deeper inner listening and sensitivity.\\ 2020s.txt:4464:81:\heart: We are those of Q’uo, and we are aware of the query, my sister, and are thankful for this query. To begin, the most important, or perhaps central understanding to this query is that the intuition ultimately serves the self one way or the other; that these downloads, be they of more of the mental chatter, as you say, or those of perhaps higher planes, are of equal value in the long run. They serve some purpose, be that to inspire or open new avenues for consideration, or to challenge the self towards acceptance\index{acceptance} and loving the self, or whatever that chatter may bring about.\\ 2020s.txt:4532:16: We suggest frequently that the prerequisite to this realization is the faculty of meditation\index{meditation}. For it is essential that within your very active lives of busyness and experience, where you are assaulted at all times by all manner of experience, that you cultivate a space within yourself that is able to hold these things within the peace\index{peace} of the Creator, to allow them to enter your heart\index{heart} with openness and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and allow them to exist for what they are without judgment, without analyzing.\\ 2020s.txt:4549:33: It is the uninformed, undisciplined, wayward will operating from a place of seeking outward what can be discovered only inward; of seeking to defend where defense is unnecessary; of seeking to gain where, in truth, one has all that there is within; of seeking to manipulate that which can instead be accepted\index{accepted}; and seeking to control that which has precipitated this predicament of a self bound to perpetuating suffering. The self, in this state, exists in a state of non-acceptance in small ways and big. Non-acceptance of the self which is perfect. Non-acceptance of some aspect of the moment. Non acceptance\index{acceptance} of the condition within which they find themselves. This continues to create that friction and heat, pressure and suffering, this non-acceptance.\\ 2020s.txt:4550:34: It is another way to say resistance. Resistance is a misuse of the will. A misaligned relationship\index{relationship} with the moment that says the moment should be other than it is. I reject this moment. While there is a function for “no” in the creation, the dichotomy of acceptance/resistance to which we point is upon that fundamental level which accepts each iota of experience as being the self, as being the Creator, as being not alien\index{alien} to or other than the self, as not ultimately being threatened even if the physical incarnation, even if the possessions may be threatened. (This is( an acceptance\index{acceptance} that recognizes that all is part of the self and is thus serving the self’s journey, even in especially that which may be labeled as negative upon the surface. This journey of acceptance is not a single declaration or something one does in a moment but is something one practices and progresses and deepens over time as the self-awareness increases. And like the onion, one layer after the other is peeled back revealing the self to self. That one practices this acceptance.\\ 2020s.txt:4551:35: It is this journey through which surrendering is developed. For underneath this resistance and lack of acceptance\index{acceptance} is a distrust or a mistrust. In the moonlit environment, the world about one as the self perceives this environment in the veiled condition, seems, to use our previous descriptors, alien\index{alien} and threatening—perhaps out to take something from yourself, perhaps out to diminish the self in some way, perhaps out to use the self. Thus, develops a distrust and mistrust that resists, that protects, that creates misalignment, that creates suffering, that perpetuates the illusion\index{illusion}.\\ 2020s.txt:4552:36: To see that moonlit environment more clearly, faith, acceptance\index{acceptance}, trust, surrender\index{surrender}, these associated qualities must be exercised first. There are times of revelation and illumination whereby the moonlit environment is revealed. Where one understands that that was not a demon\index{demon} at one side, shall we say, but this instrument has the image of a rather large, friendly mushroom; in other words, something benign if not benevolent\index{benevolent}. Something natural and part of the environment that was mistaken to be something sinister or threatening in the shadow\index{shadow}.\\ 2020s.txt:4697:24:\heart: However, that there is hostility or rejection or misunderstanding does not equate a lack of love\index{love}. It does not equate a failure on anyone’s part. No, in fact, this kind of difficulty can be seen through the lens of love and gratitude\index{gratitude}, so one may view it as a gift. We do not say that to mean that the experience is one of joy\index{joy}, or one of ease, but merely to reframe the challenge as an opportunity to rediscover and to further know and hone the ability to love with the open heart\index{heart} and without condition. The spiritual attitude or direction one may take includes that of gratitude, includes that of wonder\index{wonder}, of curiosity, that of acceptance\index{acceptance}. All of those facets of that spiritual attitude need not occur without the employ of wisdom\index{wisdom} of the soul. For we see that that, too, is a great import in this journey.\\ 2020s.txt:4698:25: However, simply practicing and intending to see the other-self as extensions of the Creator, seeing the other-self as a fellow seeker\index{seeker} on the path, though they may not realize (this(. Seeing the other-self as wounded\index{wounded}, or in pain\index{pain} as well. Viewing them in their totality, not with judgment, but with open arms, with understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance} of who they are in that moment. That need not require the diminishing of the hurtful actions or the forgetting of the pain\index{pain} they caused, for those too are valid. It simply means to find where their own life catalysts may inform them of these actions and seeing them as human, seeing them as part of this dance you have agreed to take on with one another so that you may further this experiment of the Creator knowing Itself.\\ 2020s.txt:4699:26: We realize that this is not always an easy goal to undertake. This is not always a seemingly productive, one may say, venture. You may find that there are many obstacles, many instances of what you call tripping up, many seeming moments of backsliding. And in those moments, we would only suggest that you practice not only acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness of the other-self, in the 360-(degree( view of the self, but also towards yourself. Remembering that your worth is not diminished by the actions of another, nor is their worth diminished in their own actions. Keeping in mind that all parties involved are pure facets, beautiful\index{beautiful} representations, perfect and imperfect strands of threads that weave together to create this tapestry you call the illusion\index{illusion} will help guide you will help you to see the illusory nature of these dynamics.\\ 2020s.txt:4702:29:\heart: My friends, we empathize with the challenges that come in relating in this density, family being one avenue for this kind of challenge. We issue our deep care and love\index{love} to you as you navigate these difficult relationships. And know we are present always and can be called upon, for we too are your family. Consider us your brothers and sisters, who are always desiring and willing to be there for you, to shroud you in the love and support you so truly deserve and desire\index{desire}. And know that, ultimately, it is you who steers the direction of your incarnational experience; that the spiritual attitude you take is like the steering wheel on the ship. With an open heart\index{heart}, with faith, with love, all informed by wisdom\index{wisdom}, of course, you may steer that ship further towards understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ 2020s.txt:4724:51:\heart: And in or from this standpoint, the service to the one suffering may simply be to breathe with them, to hold them in your arms, to hold their hand, to affirm with the fullness of your whole self that you see them. You are there with them fully in unconditional love\index{unconditional love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}. You see their light and their dark, their open and their closed thoughts and energies, and you accept the totality of their being without judgment.\\ 2020s.txt:4742:8:\heart: And you may then ask that these energies move out of your heart\index{heart} into those around you not just in your family or your community\index{community} but move around the world to whatever location you feel needs the energies of love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance} in the seeing of each other as the Creator. You may ask that those energies of the full moon move into your blue-ray energy center. That of communication, that of clear communication, that of inspiration, that of sharing with anyone who would care to know about your spiritual journey more of what makes you tick, shall we say, in a spiritual sense so that you are able to speak to any person that asks you a question whether it is a friend, a neighbor, a stranger\index{stranger} on the street, or any person whatsoever that requests any kind of a spiritually oriented kind of information.\\ 2020s.txt:4753:19: Eventually, as you see what we might call the mirroring effect from those about you, showing you how they move forward in what seems to you to be an acceptable fashion, then you may be able to make progress\index{progress} in your own work in consciousness that sees you as acceptable, that sees you as being as they, traveling a path of reunification with the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator through the various incarnations you have had in this life and in the incarnation that now is the culmination of your previous incarnations; to further drive home, shall we say, the feeling and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of yourself as being one which is whole and complete; healed of any misperceptions that may be a path to forgiveness of self and acceptance of self.\\ 2020s.txt:4832:98:\heart: However, the impact of such a statement within your reality may carry with it a certain emotional charge or a certain implication. If the person who is receiving this message is not prepared or does not have a certain spiritual perception that allows this statement to be seated within the self in a way that is couched in love\index{love} and understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance}, it has the potential to generate further catalyst and distortion. Thus, we encourage that such knowledge\index{knowledge} is shared through a deepened relationship\index{relationship} of healer\index{healer} and patient that such space is generated for it to be received in a way that is accepted\index{accepted} and understood and does not perpetuate more emotional attachments to these circumstances that are being referred to.\\ 2020s.txt:5014:9:\heart: It is fortunately, shall we say, the case that these failures may often give such an entity the opportunity and the desire\index{desire} to, shall we say, reform the expression of love\index{love} through a greater dissemination and discrimination\index{discrimination} of this feeling to those about one, and perhaps even to the self—which is often the source and focus as well—for these feelings of separation, non-acceptance, anger\index{anger} and fear\index{fear}.\\ 2020s.txt:5072:67: It, for the positive entity, can be (a( practice to keep the heart\index{heart} always open and alive and accepting, always beginning with acceptance\index{acceptance}. Even if the other-self is indeed seeking to deceive and manipulate the self, the positive polarity\index{polarity} always begins with acceptance: accepting in its heart the nature of the other-self, whatever their negatively oriented outward activities; releasing resistance in the trust and the faith that, in the limitations and imperfections of this particular situation is an emanation of the divine\index{divine} light distorted in various degrees.\\ 2020s.txt:5080:75:\heart: And as you engage these processes, you may consider, as part of your own discerning faculties, whether your analysis is veering toward the judgment which powers down the heart\index{heart} or the discernment which operates from a vibrating heart, (hinges( exactly (on( that presence of judgment and an absence or diminishment of love\index{love} (on one hand(, or feeling more awareness of love, acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness, and the absence or diminishment of judgment (on the other(.\\ 2020s.txt:5176:83:\heart: The appearance of such phenomena are not accidental and are even more conscious and more intentional than is the second density\index{second density} being who may cross your path at the right moment.

It is quite difficult to predict what mode of service would be most efficacious for us and for you in eliciting a greater awakening to love\index{love} and to the powers of nonjudgmental acceptance\index{acceptance} that is the key to working together, that you may, as a society\index{society}, participate more directly and consciously in the universe, in your neighborhood, with and among other sources of intelligence, that you may finally breach your isolation.\\ 2020s.txt:5255:22:\heart: And so when you are challenged by something that you witness, though you may not conceive of yourself as behaving in such a way, or creating such conditions, it is an intentional challenge, or catalyst, generated by that experience that causes you to exercise your muscle of love\index{love}, of unconditional forgiveness, and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and understanding that this too is the Creator; this too contains the love of the Creator; and this is an aspect of your very being, the very depths of your being contains that which you are having difficulty witnessing and integrating.\\ 2020s.txt:5259:26:\heart: It is a great challenge to come to an understanding of this and an acceptance\index{acceptance} of this. We find that it is very common for the positive seeker\index{seeker} who is able to offer forgiveness and acceptance and love\index{love} upon the grounds of other selves manifesting their pain\index{pain} and confusion\index{confusion} in ways that affect others simply needing to be healed. And if that healing\index{healing} takes place, they would cease that behavior.\\ 2020s.txt:5261:28: We understand\index{understand} the difficulty of this. And we reiterate and emphasize that it is not expected of you, as the seeker\index{seeker} within the third density\index{third density}, to discover within yourself a pure acceptance\index{acceptance} of all things that you encounter, and all circumstances. The very intention of the density that you find yourself within is to provide these challenges. If you were not challenged, you would not need to experience this density.\\ 2020s.txt:5274:41: Examining this particular dynamic, we see that there is a lack of conscious acknowledgement, much less acceptance\index{acceptance}, of the true source of the self’s catalyst. Thus the self is caught in the hall of mirrors thinking it is looking upon other faces and not recognizing that it is, in its blocked and imbalanced energetic system, seeing its own face; or we should say, seeing places where it is blocking and misunderstanding and imbalancing the Love\index{love} and the Light of the One Creator, operating not from the green\index{green} and blue\index{blue} rays which may see the other selves more clearly as they are, but operating instead out of a blockage, or a set, or complex of blockages or imbalances.\\ 2020s.txt:5324:20: Any tool may be used effectively if the seeker\index{seeker} wishes to grow, to expand its experience and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the world around it and the world inside of it. This is the means by which all structures of spiritual nature within the being are constructed so that the expenditures of energy will be funneled in a way that is effective to make the intention manifest.\\ 2020s.txt:5339:35:\heart: To speak more to the heart\index{heart} of your query, we may reiterate a very common lesson that we attempt to share in many contexts, and that is the meditative practice: the will to find space within one’s life where one may go inside and discover the silence within the self, to discover the Creator within the self, that aspect of the self that has generated your desire\index{desire} to love\index{love} and to share love and to manifest the unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} of all around you.\\ 2020s.txt:5340:36:\heart: Attempting to continually rediscover this nature within yourself on a regular basis and making this a habit can then increase your capacity to find this self which is a source of energy in all situations so that, as a muscle that grows stronger, you may respond with greater and greater endurance and greater and greater capacity to share love\index{love} and to see past, as you have noted, the complex distortions of those about you, and see the reflection of that source of love within others in a more natural and easy way. So that the natural path forward to how you may serve in any given moment seems more instinctual. (So( you do not have to try as hard to discover the love within yourself and contemplate the ways in which you may act and contextualize the behavior and the thoughts and words of those about you in order to find acceptance\index{acceptance} for them. It becomes a more natural process.\\ 2020s.txt:5364:60:\heart: And, my friend, it seems you have made great progress\index{progress} in simply coming into the awareness of this operational dynamic within yourself, that being this seed\index{seed} belief in non-abundance and not having enough; in being incomplete or deficient; small, unsupported; and cut off from that infinite\index{infinite} supply of love\index{love}, of nonjudgmental acceptance\index{acceptance}, of nakedly and truly being who you are fully in the light.\\ 2020s.txt:5378:74: The more purely that the attention can be brought to bear upon the catalyst, and the more activated the heart\index{heart} may be—that is, in releasing resistance, disentangling from judgment, and practicing acceptance—the more that this catalyst may sink down into the roots of mind such that the subconscious can offer that insight which you seek, including helping the self to release its tight grip, shall we say, upon this programming.\\ 2020s.txt:5416:112:\heart: However, it may be that at an earlier time in their life experience, that it would not have had the opportunity to reflect upon such difficulties in the manner in which we have just described, and would need, shall we say advice from the teacher\index{teacher}, the guru, that entity which had such experience. This is oftentimes an efficient manner of learning how to respond to difficulties. However, it also takes away the responsibility of the seeker\index{seeker} itself to move forward in his own path in a manner which activates within itself those qualities of love\index{love}, of light, acceptance\index{acceptance} of the ability to move forward in the path of its own seeking that may be, in what you would call, the trial and error manner.\\ 2020s.txt:5596:46:\heart: And so, kindness\index{kindness} is not a feeling or an action that is limited to the way in which entity A interacts with entity B, or an entity interacts with its own environment. Kindness is also an action one can practice within oneself for oneself. It is that loving, patient, and understanding open hand. The care of the mother\index{mother} for the child, the full acceptance\index{acceptance} of self, flaws and all. That is a powerful expression of kindness and one that can inspire not only self to manifest kindness outside of self, but inspire other-self to act accordingly, to engage with that kindness for self and other-self.\\ anabaptist_healing.html:251:class="cmr-9">Acknowledging the divine in each other also means practicing forgiveness, acceptance, and love. anabaptist_healing.tex:98:Acknowledging the divine in each other also means practicing forgiveness, acceptance, and love. Colossians 3:13 advises us, "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." This forgiveness leads to peace within ourselves and our communities, promoting spiritual healing. anger.txt:34:1982/1226.txt:8:I am Oxal, and I greet you, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. We thank you for the privilege of sharing with you concepts related to those subjects so familiar to you having to do with the birth of the one you call Jesus. We would like you to consider the passage from your holy book, the Bible, which speaks of the Word which was made flesh and dwelt among you. It then compared that happening to the light that shines in darkness. The darkness does not know the light, but it cannot overcome the light. There is much to consider in these phrases concerning each entity’s spiritual birth within incarnational experience. Each at some point within the incarnation consciously chose to be born in spirit or each would not be within this circle. For we are called by a harmonious and unified circle of those who seek. In the same sense that the light came into the darkness does the spiritual self consciously come into being within, that manifestation of being which is each entity within the illusion. And so each of you experienced the conscious acceptance of a portion of the self being born that was not there before and that is to the remainder of the conscious self as a light in the darkness. Further, the incarnational experience within the illusion is designed to challenge that light. Growth of the light does not occur except by intent. It may not be the conscious intent to grow spiritually. It may simply be the dogged intent to survive without harming another. Many are the souls that have been harvested whose concept of the truth was never articulated, yet whose lives became radiant because the light shone in the darkness and the darkness could not overcome it. When each period or portion or phase of the spiritual or metaphysical journey commences, turn again to the experience of the one known as Mary, the mother of Jesus. Each mother physically experiences the nurturing of that in darkness which will be delivered forth into the light. However, when viewed in the spiritual or metaphysical sense, you may see this deliverance as one which is pondered, as it is written in the same holy work, in the heart as you nurture your own infant spirits, and indeed, each new phase of our journey renders you an infant again, it is well to ponder all things in your heart. For yours is the responsibility for your spirit and some care may well be taken, therefore. It has been written, although mythically rather than literally, that the one known as Jesus was forced to flee to the desert as a young child to escape death at the hand of that which may be called a negative influence. Have you given yourselves time and place for constant spiritual birthing and then careful nurturing in the desert or dry place where all things may best be made plain within while remaining secret from the external illusion? The external illusion challenges each entity in its journey constantly. Therefore, a portion of this holiday or holy day which you know as Christmas may well be devoted to the consideration of these movements or dynamics in the life of the growing spirit within. That which comes from you must needs first come to you. The desert is the perfect sequel to the poverty and simplicity of the manger. In all humility console yourself in secret as each new phase of being begins its development. And only when it can stand and walk within you may you then go forth in the manifestation of illusion and speak of those things which you have realized. We are with you as you continuously begin a great story of birth and death and transformation. May your learning be filled with light. We can only give you our opinion that darkness shall never overcome that light. But that opinion we do give. Arise and shine in good time and know that you are not in any sense alone. For all who seek, seek one thing. All are one thing. In the beginning was love. What is your incarnation? Love. How may you manifest it? That, my friends, is worth some work. I am Oxal. I leave you in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. anger.txt:40:1983/1023.txt:26:Those treasures, my sister, as you know, are always a greater acceptance and love of the one Creator. You may consider such a situation as a great opportunity and a great responsibility, for each act of service to the one Creator bears a price. If there are great fruits to be reaped, a great harvest, shall we say, available to the expanded point of view, then there is also the responsibility to manifest that love in the greatest possible degree. We do not say there is danger in such a situation, but there is great responsibility. anger.txt:41:1983/1030.txt:53:If you will examine many of these techniques of curing that called cancer you will discover a general tendency or attitude that is contained within most of these techniques. That attitude has many of the attributes of that which you may call forgiveness or acceptance. When an entity is able to express the love of the Creator which it receives daily to each entity whom it meets, and is able to feel that same love within its own being for itself as well, then it is often the case that the entity sees the creation about it, and, indeed, itself through new eyes. The eyes of love, acceptance and forgiveness are the eyes which heal. That known as cancer as has been discussed by those known as Ra, which is a disease which is the result of an inability to forgive, is a disease which grows from the angers which have not found their balance in love. anger.txt:46:1984/1125.txt:38:The distortions of perception are each colored in a certain way so that yet another means is presented to you by which you may learn the lesson of love, for as you examine each distortion each in its turn will yield the opposite response: for patience, you will find impatience; for anger, you will find acceptance; for the various kinds of distortions you will discover that when the balance is achieved, the yield of this process will be an increase in the ability to love. anger.txt:67:1986/0706.txt:65:I am Q’uo. This is basically correct, my brother, for within your illusion of seeming separateness and limitation there is much which offers the challenge to be accepted, much which seems traumatic, tragic and filled with sorrow, distaste, horror, anger, jealousy and so forth. Yet, each entity and event is the Creator knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress by finding the joy, the love, and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship then the relationship has served as a means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance, the love, and the compassion for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution. anger.txt:70:1986/0810.txt:10:It may be, for example, that an entity wishes to learn more of compassion, more of acceptance, and more of forgiveness, and wishes to place these concepts more firmly within the true self, that which you may call the soul. This may be done by programming the seeming opposite attribute within the incarnation in order to provide opportunity after opportunity after opportunity, one upon the other for the self to experience the lack of love, the lack of forgiveness, the lack of acceptance, and these are terms which describe that which you call anger, frustration, control and so forth. anger.txt:71:1986/0810.txt:11:Thus, by finding these attributes within the incarnational pattern, one may through conscious and non-judgmental study of the self become aware that in each release of anger there is the potential to accept, to love, to show mercy, and to have patience. As this becomes apparent, one then notes with more and more frequency and accuracy those moments in which this lesson is being offered. And as one is able to be more aware of the root or primary cause and potential set up by the expression of anger, then one is able to take advantage, shall we say, of that opportunity, and in a fashion to transmute or transform the situation in which anger might normally be generated, and instead generate the loving acceptance which was the original intention and which was achieved by constructing the basic personality to respond in the manner called angry or frustrated. anger.txt:121:1988/1009.txt:6:When an entity is extremely positive, as each within this circle is, that which may be seen by others to be unimportant or non-catalytic, upon the contrary sensitive entities which seek will certainly use this catalyst and experience painfully negative emotions. Thus, hatred is love which has been hurt badly. Anger is that which comes of hatred. Beneath the hatred is what this instrument would call the orange-ray blockage. This is especially painful when the entity who is in pain has some difficulty in experiencing self-worth and self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-love. anger.txt:142:1989/0528.txt:43:Thus, one may experience a good deal of frustration and anger pointed toward the self within an incarnational pattern as a result of various what an entity may call mistakes and ineffective application in order that a greater love and compassion might eventually replace the anger and frustration which were the first distortions or biases with which the entity began. Thus, the continued experience of this anger pointed toward the self may eventually attract the attention of the entity to the degree that the entity begins to consider why such anger exists and what use may be made of it, all the while building the potential for eventual acceptance and compassion for the self and then for others about the self. anger.txt:196:1990/1230.txt:22:To begin again, to begin again, to begin again—how the human spirit rebels. Yet within the present moment there is only beginning, and there is nothing but the present moment in any spiritual consideration. So look to the loving and acceptance of the higher power which you may call as you wish. Look to your relationship with that love that created you. Allow within yourself the birth in the manger of your heart of your own spiritual beingness, true, imperishable, consciousness. Guard it, just as the story speaks of this infant’s mother and father fleeing to protect their child. Protect this child as lovingly, and with as much feeling of honor. anger.txt:231:1991/0303_01.txt:29:The most important tool here is awareness: knowing always what is being felt; and if anger or greed are being felt, touching those, not with judgment but with an acceptance that allows the being not to need to act on those emotions. It is not the emotions themselves that are a problem. You don’t harm another by feeling greed. You harm another by taking what belongs to another. anger.txt:236:1991/0303_02.txt:9:First, try to separate your discomfort at his anger, knowing that that is work that needs to be done not on him but on you. In short, if he needs to be angry, can you simple let him be angry? Can you reach that place in yourself where he feels from you only complete acceptance, that there’s not that within him that is unacceptable to you? This may help him more than anything else you can give him, because surely he already judges his own anger; and if he finds that unacceptable to you, it will increase the depth with which it is unacceptable to him. anger.txt:240:1991/0303_02.txt:13:There is one more issue here that needs to be looked at. Why does a being choose to incarnate into a situation where he will feel different in any way, where he will become angry? Why does he choose to subject himself to those catalysts? It would seem to me that it is likely that you both have this issue of self-acceptance. Sometimes one needs the catalyst of anger in order to be challenged to look at one’s feelings more deeply, to uncover the love, and to nurture that. anger.txt:241:1991/0303_02.txt:15:One who chooses to incarnate into a situation where one lives with anger is choosing that situation to prod oneself, one might say, to learn a deeper level of forgiveness and compassion. Of course, one starts with the self, finding acceptance for that anger in the self so that one may not judge that in others, but may love that, and all aspects of all beings. How does one love another’s anger? It is not the anger that one is loving, it is the spirit of the being itself, which is pure and holy and beautiful. The being is not its anger nor its greed nor its fear. And yet you constantly create this duality, and so much of your work is to move beyond that. anger.txt:246:1991/0303_02.txt:25:Always, infinity is at the behest of one which chooses to remember the infinite Creator and the love the entity has experienced from this great source of love. Thusly, in healing the self-judgment, the parent is then able to express itself as an healed and whole entity, and is thus able to give whatever it may find possible to give out of a fullness of heart, a total and 360-degree acceptance of the self, knowing that the self is indeed all things, positive and negative, as is perceived within the illusion. When this healing is complete, then the entity may simply sit with this anger from another and see it as a catalyst which has done its job already. anger.txt:247:1991/0303_02.txt:31:What baggage creates anger? What is it that is picked up and held and cherished that creates the anger of the self? Perhaps we may suggest that anger, at base, is anger at the lack of complete acceptance of the self. Thusly, to work upon one’s own anger, it is well to perceive the benefits of not striving to become anything, not trying to advance, but simply trying to allow an awareness of the full nature of the self, to be held in the gentle arms of that nurturing portion of the self. Once one’s own inner child, which is often angry because of lack of control, has been clearly perceived, then the attempts of a young soul—that is, young within this incarnation—to control the environment in order to make the self heard or in some way more secure can be accepted as the spiritual process it truly is. anger.txt:249:1991/0303_02.txt:46:I am not implying that your learning must be painful. Pain doesn’t teach you anything. Pain is, if Carla will excuse a bad pun, a pain in the neck. But pain screams, “Pay attention!” and paying attention teaches you. When you can learn to pay attention without pain, you will need far less pain to learn. When you can pay attention to the ways in which you feel separate and move past that wall of pain and anger that enhances the sense of separation, finding acceptance and forgiveness for all of that in yourself which has created the illusion of separation, then you will no longer need that illusion. anger.txt:250:1991/0303_02.txt:47:There is one further thing I would say here. So often you seem to hear two voices within you. One, that comes from the heart, is a voice of love, and one, that we would call the voice of the brain or of reason, is often a voice of fear. You have one voice within you that asks you to trust yourself and trust others, to allow yourself to open, to cherish that beautiful self within as a bud, bringing it into the sunlight of your love. And then there is the voice of fear, and it says, “Well I have work to do on myself. Maybe I’m not ready for a relationship.” Do you see the excuses there? Can you see the avoidance? There is always work to do on oneself, no matter how evolved you become. You are never complete but always in progress. Do you wait for perfection? Can you begin to see that it is the voice of fear that suggests that you wait and to ask yourself with some compassion, “What am I afraid of? What is this fear?”—not to track it down analytically as it grows out of this or that event of childhood, but to begin to see all the anger and lack of self-acceptance behind it and to relate to that with love and compassion? anger.txt:270:1991/0712.txt:12:However, if anger or other such disquieting emotions is the subject of discomfort at the time then we may suggest that meditations on the true nature of each, that is, the unity beyond the illusion, may be helpful in both the understanding and the dissolving of the same. The dissolving not being a process of elimination or eradication but of absorption and acceptance of the existence within the self and the other self and the acknowledgement that there is a place for this within the self that does not of necessity bring harm. It is the concentration of such matter that may be used in what is perceived to be a harmful manner. anger.txt:273:1991/0712.txt:15:For the positive entity we would suggest that the deliberate and intentional use of such anger would be most probably realized by the positive entity to be not of a helpful nature and therefore would not be likely to be chosen as a manner of expression but more likely would occur as a spontaneous expression of that which is felt within the self in an overwhelming manner. We would suggest that the most likely cause of such a concentration and eruption of this substance, shall we say, would be the lack of awareness of its existence within the self in its more quiet and nontoxic form, shall we say, and that a greater awareness and acceptance of the existence of this emotion in its more natural and absorbed, shall we say, state would be most helpful in the work of the seeker that has concern about the possibility of the uncontrolled expression of such. anger.txt:274:1991/0712.txt:16:The question of control is another issue altogether and quite separate from the process of anger or other emotions. We are aware that control is one of the primary tools of the negative path. Yet to the positive seeker chaos is surely not the desired state. Therefore this is an issue also that will certainly be investigated by any who delve deep enough into the self. We would suggest that the issue for the positive seeker is not so much one of control but one of choice. That choice is only possible when there is awareness and that therefore the path to the availability of choices lies once again through the ever-deepening knowledge of the self and the subsequent awareness and acceptance of what is found in the self. anger.txt:276:1991/0712.txt:18:You ask also about a process of cooling what damage may be caused when such an eruption may occur. The healing of each entity is again another subject which may be plumbed in depth and we shall comment but briefly at this time. Each entity serves as catalyst for the other and the process of knowing itself. When entities, especially those such as are in this group which are embarked upon the conscious efforts of knowing the self, act as catalyst upon each other the results are never, shall we say, completely unasked for. That is to say, the entity receiving the catalyst is aware of the need for such although this may not be a conscious awareness and is thus given the opportunity for greater knowledge of and acceptance of the self. This is not to attempt to foster any sense of irresponsibility but we feel no danger with that with those of this group for each here is most conscientious about such matters. anger.txt:432:1995/0706.txt:71:I am Q’uo. This is basically correct, my brother, for within your illusion of seeming separateness and limitation there is much which offers the challenge to be accepted, much which seems traumatic, tragic and filled with sorrow, distaste horror, anger, jealousy and so forth. Yet, each entity and event is the Creator, knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress by finding the joy, the love and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship, then the relationship has served as the means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance, the love and the compassion for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution. anger.txt:461:1996/1006.txt:9:The response of the seeker to its own dark side needs to be, in the beginning, an acceptance of what seems to be a less attractive portion of the self. The objects of anger and resentment, spiritually speaking, only seem to be other selves. Actually, you may look at each other self with whom you interact as a mirror which reflects to you those things you like about yourself and those things you do not wish were a part of yourself, and the angrier that you are at that other entity, the more a part of yourself you are recognizing and responding to. anger.txt:467:1996/1006.txt:22:I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is a situation in which one’s intuitive capacities are often called into play, for it is a most fluid situation to experience the anger of another, especially if one is the focus of such anger. We can recommend that one attempt to accept the other entity for having such anger and through this acceptance to seek communication that might clarify not only the present situation in which the anger is being expressed but which might also move more deeply into the origin of the anger within the other entity. This kind of communication is that which is most easily accomplished with those who are close friends and those who are willing to explore with you a portion of the self that is not pleasant to expose. If the entity does not wish to speak of the anger at the moment it is being expressed then it is well to wait until there is a time in which the entity is willing to speak upon this matter, the emotions having been drained away concerning the situation. We recommend, first and foremost, however, that acceptance is the foundation upon which all further communication and interaction may be undertaken. anger.txt:512:2000/0206.txt:1: [overview] The question today has to do with the various frustrations and angers, all the various difficulties that come around in our lives periodically and seem to be part of our catalyst. What can Q’uo tell us about what it is possible to do intellectually, logically and consciously in learning from the catalyst, and when it is necessary to do something different, to give it up, to accept the situation, to have faith that everything is as it should be? What can Q’uo tell us about the different approaches, the intellectual, the acceptance, doing something different, giving ourselves a break? How can we know what is best for us to do at any certain time in our life experience? anger.txt:531:2000/2.txt:8: [overview] The question today has to do with the various frustrations and angers, all the various difficulties that come around in our lives periodically and seem to be part of our catalyst.

This instrument has certainly experienced the feelings of a murderer when a loved one was apparently struck and perhaps killed. There is no length of time between the sight of someone that needs defense in the mind of the perceiver and the feelings of murder. And it is a pure, clean, crisp and powerful emotion, not unlike anger but with deadly intent. Would any say that this instrument had an unintegrated murderer within her? No. And yet it is in this instrument’s inner thoughts that she does indeed have a murderer alive and well and living in the hospitality of the temple of the body, the mind, and her spirit. And so each contains all that there is, and within your density the very fabric of your illusion is very much the ying and the yang, the give and the take, and it is a great achievement indeed when that dark side of self is seen as an asset by the self and as that she-wolf bares its fangs and seems to come at one as a werewolf, as a predator, as one that wants to tear out the heart, that is when you embrace that she-wolf and know that that is your powerful, brave heart that is capable of anything but that chooses to be your she-wolf, to be your totem, to be your seeker of truth that prowls in dreams and comes back with news of elsewhere. anger.txt:555:2002/0901.txt:42:I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As we mentioned previously, this is the time of harvest, the time of the change of cycles for not only each entity upon this planet but for the planet itself. For all move in the upward spiraling line of light as if in accordance with the hands of a clock striking the hour of change. The time grows short. There is much work yet to do. This planet has for many of your millennia suffered the difficulties of factions warring one against the other. This anger of war and bellicose action has seeped as heat into the crust of the planet, heat which must be released. Each entity, as well as the planet itself, is therefore asked in the spiritual sense to take a larger share of the ability to transmute this heat and anger. Those who have no firm foundation of spiritual seeking or outlet of sharing in a metaphysical manner take this extra share of energy and transfer it as anger. Thus, those who are aware of the change occurring upon the planetary and the cosmic level which reaches into each individual heart, do well to see in their meditations and their prayers hearts that begin to open, minds that begin to open, arms that begin to open, so that there is acceptance and love, compassion and forgiveness, in place of competition and anger, confusion and ignorance. Therefore, we recommend most heartily that the prayers and visualizations be added to you meditations in order to aid other entities in their attempt to open their hearts, which is the purpose for each entity here on the planet at this time. Some are more, shall we say, effective, more able to do this than others. Those who are able to open their hearts first then teach others by example and in their meditations. anger.txt:695:2007/0922.txt:32:Yet accepting the self goes beyond describing oneself as a wretch, as does the old hymn Amazing Grace.6 It is almost, in this song, as if grace were the Lone Ranger that comes riding into town and saves the wretch from whatever peccadilloes or villains the Western desert has brought forth to threaten or to condemn. There is, in accepting the self, the necessity to move beyond the need for others’ acceptance of you and, likewise, to move beyond the need to beg acceptance of a higher power. For if one depends forever upon a higher power to be acceptable or to achieve acceptance or goodness as a spirit, then one can never become the Creator, but shall always remain a beggar at the Lord’s table. anger.txt:704:2008/0107.txt:1: [overview] S: “All my life I’ve been dealing with the feeling of not being good enough and with anger. I feel the anger very strongly in [dealing with] my mother and I can feel it in [dealing with] my children too.

Your faculty of will is that which is powerful within you as co-Creator. You cannot ascribe to this faculty too much importance. Thus it must be carefully used and directed in service to others for those upon the positively oriented path.“There is great danger in the use of the will as the personality becomes stronger, for it may be used even subconsciously in ways reducing the polarity of the entity.”↩[footnote end][footnote start]This quotation is a paraphrase of Jesus Christ’s words in the Garden of Gethsemane, the night before He was crucified. The reference is, Holy Bible, Mark 14:36, “And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.”↩[footnote end][footnote start]When consulted for his interpretation of this “brickbat,” K wrote, “A brickbat is a very blunt criticism, a meaning derived from the analogy of using bricks as weapons. To be candid, I give the infinite Creator a lot of verbal abuse, apart from praise and worship.”↩[footnote end] anger.txt:771:2015/1121.txt:37:So it is one affair when one encounters the hungry stranger, the stranger who is cold, the stranger who is lost, the stranger who is forlorn, to open the door and provide sustenance, warmth, and acceptance. And it is another affair to contend with those who have the intention not of accepting in good grace the welcome you have to offer, but of defeating the master of the house, of overturning the existing order, of achieving domination over others, of introducing the dark stranger of fear into the body politic. anger.txt:778:2016/0507.txt:14:The more you are able to discover within even those situations which give difficulty, even those situations which tend to elicit from you a rejection—a feeling of being hurt, a feeling of anger, a feeling of hate—even these we say, can, if allowed to develop into a deeper sense of love which one does achieve through acceptance, suggest that the catalyst that has been on offer is indeed serving its function well. We would say to you that catalyst that is allowed its play in such a way that it inspires you to response is catalyst that is properly received, and you should not despise your inspiration in the response that you come to in relation to your catalyst, which can often take the form of seeking to improve the circumstances of your life, in seeking to improve the circumstances of the lives around you, and in seeking to improve the conditions of the social complex of which you are a part. All of those activities which reflect the inspiration to betterment, the inspiration to expression of love, the inspiration to a resolve to heal—all of these are indications of a good and proper use of catalyst. anger.txt:786:2016/1217.txt:6:You wish, in many cases, to improve your appreciation of compassion, of love, of understanding. These are all facets of the same quality, my friends. And how do you do this? May we say first of all you do not program more love, more compassion—you program the opposite, my friends, you program the lack of compassion, the lack of love, the lack of understanding, the lack of sympathy, for by so doing, you set into motion within your own soul’s being the desire to solve these riddles; anger being one of the great riddles of your illusion; anger being that which is not possible in the higher densities, for only unity, joy, peace and understanding are possible there. But here, in your third-density illusion, it is possible to experience anger, for it is possible to see one as separate from another self and to feel an emotion that is not love for another self, or perhaps even for the self, for your anger may be pointed in any direction. For the conscious entity who is aware of the process of seeking within the third-density illusion, if there is the desire to achieve more love, more compassion, [then] the lack of that love and compassion—in the form of anger, or non-acceptance of other selves, or irritation, or impatience, whatever form your anger may take—is pointed toward yourself. anger.txt:790:2016/1217.txt:11:So as you look from a distance and see the Creator experiencing itself, for the moment that you are no longer attached to that image and that experience, you feel love, you feel compassion, you feel understanding, you feel acceptance, and then you move again, placing yourself in the role in which the anger has been experienced, and you lose that distant perspective, you lose the knowledge of the Creator experiencing itself, and this is not a bad thing, my friends—this is why you came here, this is what this illusion offers you. Do not feel bad that you have what you call anger or other distortions. These are the methods by which you learn what you wish to learn. When you are experiencing such catalyst know in your heart and in your soul you are doing what you came to do. anger.txt:806:2017/0520.txt:6:And yet, my friends, depending upon how you view such moments, each contains a great revelation for you: an opportunity for you to take that which is dark and make it light, to take that which is anger and make it acceptance, to take that which is confusion, and make it a sure path to the heart of love that resides in each soul on this planet, and indeed upon all planets in the infinite creation. anger.txt:807:2017/0520.txt:8:For this, my friends, is not only true for us, but true for you as well. You advance yourselves by giving of yourselves to others when asked, when you see the opportunity. It need not be a great or grand opportunity of saving a life or putting out a fire, it may be something as simple as listening for a few moments with compassion to a friend, or even a stranger, who has a tale of woe to share, who is confused as to what to do next in the life pattern. It is not often even necessary that you solve another person’s problems. Simply by opening your heart and your mind to that person, by listening to what they say, you can give them a sense of acceptance that they are a valuable human being, that what they have to share is worthwhile, it is worth your while to listen. And then, if you have a suggestion, then you have frosting on the cake, shall we say. anger.txt:832:2019/0525.txt:97:Know then that when any soul does this, as more and more are doing now upon your planetary surface, this type of seeking and sharing of the love and the light of the One Creator within each individual heart has a resounding and resonating effect that affects every other seeker on the planet, every other soul on the planet that has any kind of sensitivity to the vibrations of love and acceptance, that when you can find any kind of love within your own heart and share it in meditation, in contemplation, in conscious interaction with others, that love will be felt by every other soul on the planet, for indeed, each entity is a portion of the One Infinite Creator, cells in the body of the One who made us all, and when your love is expressed to any other soul, every cells in the body of the One Creator resonates with this love and light, and there is, for at least a moment, a kind of healing of the anger, of the retribution, of the disturbances of doubt and confusion. anger.txt:838:2019/0928.txt:28:Thus, the green ray is that which is given freely without discrimination that is possible within the blue-ray energy center that sees more clearly that which is before the face, before the eye, before one’s presence. Thus, it is not always necessary to open the green ray before the blue-ray energy center is itself activated. For the blue ray sees with a certain clarity that which the green ray does not see, for there are not conditions for the green ray in being able to see or love that which is before one. Thus, there is no danger, as far as we are aware of opening the blue ray before the green ray. The blue ray offers the one activating it a certain kind of protection. However, in relation to other selves, it is, perhaps, more helpful if the green ray is also activated before the blue ray so that the blue ray may be informed with the acceptance on an unconditional basis of another entity, or the creation about one. anger.txt:857:2020/0307.txt:5:This is a somewhat subtle experience as there are oftentimes a mixture of emotions that come to balance the original disharmony. To perceive which is most helpful is that which is your task. However, we would also suggest that if you are cut off in traffic, shall we say, that it may be that the first balancing emotion will be acceptance of the entity which has so cut you off in traffic. If this is the natural response, then you may allow this response to grow into your consciousness so that it is of a nature of quality and quantity to equal the dissatisfaction or disharmony or anger that you felt after being cut off. anger.txt:880:1981ra-contact/035.txt:49:The planetary energies at this time were at what seemed to this entity to be at a critical point, for that which you know as freedom had gained in acceptance as a possibility among many peoples. This entity saw the work done by those beginning the democratic concept of freedom, as you call it, in danger of being abridged, or abrogated, by the rising belief and use of the principle of the enslavement of entities. This is a negative concept of a fairly serious nature in your density. This entity, therefore, went forward into what it saw as the battle for the light, for healing of a rupture in the concept of freedom. anger.txt:889:1981ra-contact/046.txt:41:Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex. The other-self which is the object of anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation, all being reintegrated using the great energy which anger began. anger.txt:891:1981ra-contact/046.txt:47:I am Ra. This is partially correct. The first acceptance or control, depending upon polarity, is of the self. Anger is one of many things to be accepted and loved as a part of self or controlled as a part of self, if the entity is to do work. anger.txt:938:2023/0513.txt:13:I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. It is often helpful on the intellectual level, as well as the experiential level, to be able to see how each chakra is affected by whatever catalyst that you have experienced. For the experience of, say, anger and the opposite of acceptance can be utilized throughout all of the chakras. So that, within the red-ray chakra, that which is concerned with survival and sexual reproduction that, you see, perhaps there was a place where your survival was at risk. blue-ray.txt:11:1993/0516.txt:60:The concept of allowing the self to move along the path of evolution in a free and open manner is a concept which has meaning to an entity which works with the blue-ray energy center of the throat. Such a configuration of energy is then experienced by the seeker in a manner which promotes the clear communication of the self with the self and with other selves, accepting the self and other selves, and freely expressing the self to all which surround the self. In this manner, the giving of freedom and acceptance to others springs from the giving of freedom and acceptance to the self, for you are also a mirror and reflect that which is your being to those about you. blue-ray.txt:56:2019/1221.txt:44:These tools, then, can show the one who feels the irritation, the sense of the portion of the self which has become irritated and the portion of the self which has created the irritation. When it can be seen that these two selves are one, then there can become, within the self, a healing, or a balancing, of the irritation, so that it becomes, instead of an irritation, an invitation to move further along the acceptance of the self that is so necessary in order for the blue ray to shine most brilliantly within the conscious seeker of truth. blue-ray.txt:75:2022/0126.txt:13:That clarity is born most truly because the entity has laid a foundation of learning to accept catalyst through the loving operation of the heart. Thus that which is seen prior to its deepened clarification is accepted. It is accepted as part of the self. It is accepted for what is, whether or not it is understood or seen clearly. Without wisdom, this acceptance may make significant errors in judgment, because the faculty of seeing and, if we may use this misnomer, understanding have not been brought to full strength. The entity may expend itself not understanding limits or what may be in the highest for the situation, or the entity may fail to establish boundaries appropriate for the self’s integrity and service. But, we emphasize this sequence to bring to your attention the fundamental requisite of learning, practicing, and increasingly crystallizing acceptance as a key to moving into the work that you, as a seeker, wish to do in the blue ray of seeing, and, in your limited ways, understanding. buddha-love.tex:4:1993/0323:8:Now a life in faith may seem to demand the acceptance of some culturally chosen holy or worshipped individual such as the Buddha or the one known as Jesus. This is not so in that such ones as Buddha or Jesus the Christ spoke clearly to indicate that they were speaking not of themselves but of the mystery which the one known as Jesus called Father, or more familiarly, Daddy. This Father/Mother Creator has sent each inspired and inspiring historical figure into a troubled world to bear witness to the light and the love of the infinite Creator. The one known as Jesus said, “If you hear me, you hear not me but my Father who speaks through me.”\\ catalyst-distortion.txt:60:2016/1217.txt:11:So as you look from a distance and see the Creator experiencing itself, for the moment that you are no longer attached to that image and that experience, you feel love, you feel compassion, you feel understanding, you feel acceptance, and then you move again, placing yourself in the role in which the anger has been experienced, and you lose that distant perspective, you lose the knowledge of the Creator experiencing itself, and this is not a bad thing, my friends—this is why you came here, this is what this illusion offers you. Do not feel bad that you have what you call anger or other distortions. These are the methods by which you learn what you wish to learn. When you are experiencing such catalyst know in your heart and in your soul you are doing what you came to do. catalyst-distortion.txt:66:2021/0219.txt:11:We find that so often, the stumbling blocks upon the spiritual path include the internal distortion of resistance to that which is —and this resistance can become a perpetuating cycle as the seeker is met with a difficult situation, a persisting theme, or a general unpleasant experience in their lives, and aversion causes the seeker to fight against this experience in order to vanquish it. And yet, we find this approach, when lacking the love of acceptance, generates a metaphysical charge that will, in many cases, perpetuate and even increase the intensity of the catalyst which is fought. So the first approach described within the query—that of surrendering—may, in a moment, be that which the seeker needs the most and, in that moment, is the extent of a spiritual approach that can be taken to then release the charge of perpetuating catalyst, thus allowing the seeker to accept the catalyst and utilize it for their spiritual growth. catalyst-distortion.txt:111:2023/0311.txt:94:To help guide you and how you can assess the certain pressures and certain experiences as you find them in certain aspects of your energy body, we may demonstrate or use an example of how one energy center being out of balance in a certain way—perhaps either under-activated or over-activated—may be compensated by the under activation or over activation of another energy center. So any adjustment to one energy center may have inevitable influence on another energy center depending on the specific distortion found within the energy body. And so, we suggest a process whereby having this understanding of the energy centers imbalanced within you, you relate this imbalance to your experiences and your daily round of activities, and specifically look for catalyst that may speak to this imbalance, perhaps starting with the lower chakras and in discovering this catalyst using your own balancing processes and acceptance in order to bring that lower chakra into balance. christs_letters_2017.txt:39:It is only those who will follow me in acceptance and faith into daily christs_letters_2017.txt:5927:acceptance of all I had to tell them.

This is basically correct, my brother, for within your illusion of seeming separateness and limitation there is much which offers the challenge to be accepted, much which seems traumatic, tragic and filled with sorrow, distaste, horror, anger, jealousy and so forth. Yet, each entity and event is the Creator knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress by finding the joy, the love, and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship then the relationship has served as a means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance, the love, and the compassion for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution. creator.experience.itself.txt:37:1986/1116.txt:58:I am Q’uo, and this term, unconditional love, is a phrase, shall we say, which has been developed within your culture or a portion of it which describes a facet of the love which [is] the Christ consciousness, shall we say. If one is able to love without condition all entities and experiences which come before the notice, one is expressing the kind of acceptance upon the deepest of inner levels that is a—we search this instrument’s mind for the proper term—hallmark of the love of the Creator which animates all creation, for the ability to love without condition or desire of return is the beginning of the Creator within the self to recognize itself within all other portions of the creation. For an entity of the third density to experience this kind of expression of love requires that the entity move in harmony with those choices which it has made prior to the incarnation that were made with the wider point of view easily accessible to the entity. creator.experience.itself.txt:51:1987/0520.txt:47:I am Quanta. You may find as you pursue the uncovering of those feelings which have long been covered that there spring up further feelings which may also require the attention that you have given to the first feelings. Thus, if any feeling has not yet found its fruit of love, compassion and acceptance for any other entity or experience, you may consider pursuing that feeling with the same technique of magnification until the feeling draws unto itself its opposite balance, and within this balance of feelings then may be birthed the compassion which equals the acceptance that each portion of the one Creator has as its birthright. This technique is best accomplished, we find, within your contemplative or meditative states as the focus is much more finely tuned in this state of awareness. creator.experience.itself.txt:52:1987/0520.txt:52:The feelings of which you speak that are difficult yet for you might be taken with you into the meditative state and enhanced until they become large, large enough to draw to them their opposite. Within this balance may then lie acceptance of oneself for allowing the Creator to experience Itself through one’s feelings, thoughts and actions. creator.experience.itself.txt:74:1989/0115.txt:28:As the entity is joined by those which have served as its teachers, its friends and its guides, it is at this time, as you would call it, that the entity reviews the life experience which has just been completed, in order that the essence of the experience might be assessed and it might be determined those lessons which have been well learned and those which yet remain to be learned. For each entity, before entering the incarnation, sets before itself those programs of study which will allow it to know the Creator more fully and will allow the Creator to know Itself through the entity’s experience. Each entity has a great variety of choice as to those lessons which it wishes to pursue. Within your particular illusion, each lesson revolves about the concept that you would call love or compassion, the unconditional acceptance of all that is as the Creator. As the life experience is reviewed, there are those portions of the experience that point toward new lessons that are called by the experience which has been completed. For as any course of study within your system of schooling, the life experience is that which may be enhanced and refined and utilized in ever more broadening, deepening and intensifying means. creator.experience.itself.txt:132:1991/0303_02.txt:25:Always, infinity is at the behest of one which chooses to remember the infinite Creator and the love the entity has experienced from this great source of love. Thusly, in healing the self-judgment, the parent is then able to express itself as an healed and whole entity, and is thus able to give whatever it may find possible to give out of a fullness of heart, a total and 360-degree acceptance of the self, knowing that the self is indeed all things, positive and negative, as is perceived within the illusion. When this healing is complete, then the entity may simply sit with this anger from another and see it as a catalyst which has done its job already. creator.experience.itself.txt:175:1995/0706.txt:68:I am Q’uo. This is basically correct, my brother, for within your illusion of seeming separateness and limitation there is much which offers the challenge to be accepted, much which seems traumatic, tragic and filled with sorrow, distaste horror, anger, jealousy and so forth. Yet, each entity and event is the Creator, knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress by finding the joy, the love and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship, then the relationship has served as the means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance, the love and the compassion for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution. creator.experience.itself.txt:227:2001/0121.txt:12:You asked about how the group could offer to the individual an enhanced ability to have patience and we are sure that the question extends to other spiritual characteristics that are greatly desired and difficult to obtain within the illusion of experience within the illusion of separateness. For faith, a sense of humor, persistence, and compassion are certainly those qualities which are often sought but usually imperfectly found, and yet how blessed it is when the seeker can find a moment of utter patience, utter humor, utter acceptance, or utter love. And all of these streams of emotion flow through the channels of the deep mind in pure and undistorted vibrations, for they are part of what this instrument would call the default setting of the vibration of creation itself, the Logos of the one infinite Creator which is Love. creator.experience.itself.txt:298:2016/0416.txt:3:So how can the concept of love, then, that which you see as the open-hearted sharing of compassion and understanding, of acceptance, be able to protect one, shall we say, to heal one? In essence, these are two facets of one ability of the concept of love that moves from the green-ray energy center within each being who has opened the heart in the giving and receiving of love. When you love, you are awakening this same quality in entities around you, in the forces of nature, shall we say, that also surround you. If you can open your heart in the ability to love those entities, those experiences, and those qualities of yourself that you see reflected to you by all around you, then you are creating a vibration not only in your own heart and your own being, but a vibration which moves outward to those that are in your vicinity, those that are in the direction of your will, of your being, of the nature of who you are. There is a sympathetic vibration then set up so that the love that you feel for others is reflected back to you from them, for love speaks to itself, your love and their love is one love. This love, then, if you direct it to do so, may provide you with a kind of vibratory shield, shall we say, that allows in only other qualities of love that you may be desirous of experiencing in the form of protection or of healing. For each of you has chosen those experiences within your incarnation, and have chosen them previous to the incarnation in order that you might be able to discover more of the nature of love as it exists within your being, and as it can exist as you move further and further into the spiritual journey, into the reunification with the One Creator that you see all about you. creator.experience.itself.txt:320:2016/1217.txt:9:So as you look from a distance and see the Creator experiencing itself, for the moment that you are no longer attached to that image and that experience, you feel love, you feel compassion, you feel understanding, you feel acceptance, and then you move again, placing yourself in the role in which the anger has been experienced, and you lose that distant perspective, you lose the knowledge of the Creator experiencing itself, and this is not a bad thing, my friends—this is why you came here, this is what this illusion offers you. Do not feel bad that you have what you call anger or other distortions. These are the methods by which you learn what you wish to learn. When you are experiencing such catalyst know in your heart and in your soul you are doing what you came to do. creator.experience.itself.txt:328:2017/0506.txt:25:The red-ray energy center being that which deals with the survival of the entity and the sexual reproduction of the entity, its survival, shall we say, as a species. The orange ray being that individual or emotional idiosyncrasy that is expressed in a one-to-one relationship with another being. The yellow ray being that group expression of energies that the wanderer has involved itself in. The green ray being the opening of the heart energy center, and the experience of universal love, being able to both give and receive that love. The throat chakra being that freely given communication or inspiration and acceptance of other selves. The indigo ray energy center being that energy of the adept, the magical personality and its state of beingness, of the sense of the Creator as intelligent energy. The violet ray being that center which reflects the overall balance of all the energy centers. creator_experience_itself.txt:14:1986/0706.txt:62:I am Q’uo.

Thusly, for one who incarnates for the purposes of learning the lessons of love, the perceived absence of love is essential in order that such learning may take place. family-love.txt:32:1992/0409.txt:87:[footnote start]Holy Bible, Exodus 3:14.↩[footnote end][footnote start]JHVH, Jahweh or Jehovah is a name of mystery supposedly given to Moses on Mt.

That is its overriding need. So, it quickly picks up the messages, “What can I do to be loved? If I play your game, you’ll love me?” That game varies from family to family. In the worse cases, the child must allow itself to be a recipient of real abuse, and the only way it can do that is by denying its own rage. It learns that its own rage runs contrary to its overriding need to be loved. How does it deal with that rage? If the child is right and expresses that rage, it casts itself out of the boundaries of the adult’s acceptance; therefore, the adult must be right. family-love.txt:132:2015/1017.txt:34:Use the responses of family, friends, and so forth to further enrich the heart center activity so that there is a kind of priming of the pump, shall we say, no pun intended. Then you are able to feel the flow beginning in the heart center so that there is the automatic response within this center to your daily round of activities. When you see or hear a situation that, as one might say, tugs at the heart strings, allow the heart its response. That which perhaps has been neglected or repressed in past experience, allow it to come forward and to be able to share this burgeoning energy of acceptance, of love, within your own being before another being or situation. Your world, my friends, has many such situations easily accessed through your news media, if necessary. However, we are also quite sure that each entity has within its own realm of personal experience those areas that could benefit by receiving the love offerings of your heart center. family-love.txt:144:2019/1005.txt:8:The beginning red-ray attraction will, of necessity, cause intense interpersonal interactions that are a portion of the orange-ray energy center. If the catalyst from these interactions can be successfully processed by each entity so that there is love and acceptance as the product of the processing of catalyst, then there is the opportunity for the energies to move higher within each entity’s chakras. Thus [energy] moves into the yellow ray of group energies wherein there is the chance for the two entities to blend as one in the social sense, so that they partake of a larger environment of friends, family, and so forth that comprise the group consciousness, thereby utilizing their orange-ray identities that have been solidified, shall we say, in the intense interaction relegated to the orange-ray energy center. family-love.txt:152:2021/0819.txt:6:These are the prime building blocks, shall we say, of a life pattern. So when you are criticized for not living up to the best of what you are able to do, or should be doing in another’s eyes, it begins to shake the foundation of one’s being, until one must contemplate the basic quality that constitutes one’s being. And we would suggest to you, my friends, that you, and your other selves of the family, are portions of the One Infinite Creator that has placed itself in every portion of the universe around you, in every entity that you know, and have ever met, or shall ever meet, or shall never meet, for the Creator is within all things for the very purpose of coming to know more about itself. And you, as representatives of this One Creator, carry out this same mission under the most difficult of circumstances, with the veil of forgetting hiding the basic nature of the creation as being that of unity—hiding it so effectively that you are easily convinced that there is something other than the One Creator that is the foundation of your being, that you are providing the Creator with ways in which it might know itself better with more intensity, and variety, and purity. Whatever your choices that you make, you cannot fail in that responsibility, the ability to respond as the Creator. So, how do you make the most effective response to those criticisms and allegations that suggest that you are less than what you should be—less than the Creator? We would suggest that within each entity’s heart, the green-ray energy center, is the ability to tap into the wisdom of the heart, which we would suggest is that type of love and acceptance of others that does not place any condition upon freely giving that love. family-love.txt:154:2021/0819.txt:10:I am Q’uo and am now with this instrument. We find within this instrument a certain sensitivity that allows us to refine our message and disclaimer to seekers wishing to utilize the thoughts that we share with you on this day. This sensitivity, we find, is geared towards those who may find our words and find within them the inspiration to take up the mantle of universal love, acceptance, and service to others when approaching such a dynamic as you have described within your query and attempt to relate within a situation that may become harmful, or what might be known as abusive—thus adopting the mantle of a martyr. Further, there may be a situation in which a dynamic within what you describe as a family involves an individual or individuals who have yet to find within themselves the true sovereign power of their beingness as a creator of love, and thus might misuse or misinterpret those ideas that we share with you. And so we offer a refinement to our general disclaimer in that these opinions that we share with you are not intended to apply to each specific scenario, and each specific case. This is a matter of interpretation for each seeker who wishes to find value in our words. We speak generally and desire most to offer thoughts that empower each seeker to discover within them not only their capacity to love and to create, but also their right to express themselves and create for themselves a life and a creation in which they may feel safe and maintain an ability to continue their seeking and to continue to refine their love as an expression of service to others. family-love.txt:155:2021/0819.txt:11:We find that within your query the notion of family might be at the heart of this variety of interpretation. And so, we choose to work with a definition in which “family” is a shared and accepted notion among all individuals within the dynamic to which you are speaking. Whether this family is chosen, or whether this family is by circumstance of birth, we find that the notion of family is a shared story among your people and the usefulness of offering acceptance and universal love requires one to examine the shared notion between self and other self. What is the story of this family? Within your query we find that the circumstance described is one in which this must be done primarily by the self, for the notion of irreconcilable differences does not speak to a persisting shared story of family, but rather a breaking of that story. And so, first and foremost, we encourage the seeker choosing love to take this story of family into the heart and into meditation and begin the great work that requires one to sit within the self, and discover the self, and discover the true power that comes when love is realized at the heart of the self. family-love.txt:161:2023/0225.txt:94:I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. As you are aware, the orange-ray energy center is concerned with the self, the knowledge of the self as an individual being, with various eccentricities or unique qualities that make it an individual and unique being. This basic acceptance of the self then forms the framework within which the spiritual seeker may continue its journey through the yellow-ray energy center where it joins its unique self with other selves and forms groups of various kinds of the family, the workplace, the community and so forth. This expansion of the awareness of the self and into the group can, when the entity becomes aware of the nature of the Creator relying—we correct this instrument—existing within each entity, then the green-ray energy center of unconditional love may be activated. family-love.txt:165:2023/1015.txt:30:My friends, we empathize with the challenges that come in relating in this density, family being one avenue for this kind of challenge. We issue our deep care and love to you as you navigate these difficult relationships. And know we are present always and can be called upon, for we too are your family. Consider us your brothers and sisters, who are always desiring and willing to be there for you, to shroud you in the love and support you so truly deserve and desire. And know that, ultimately, it is you who steers the direction of your incarnational experience; that the spiritual attitude you take is like the steering wheel on the ship. With an open heart, with faith, with love, all informed by wisdom, of course, you may steer that ship further towards understanding and acceptance. family-love.txt:166:2023/1028.txt:9:And you may then ask that these energies move out of your heart into those around you not just in your family or your community but move around the world to whatever location you feel needs the energies of love, acceptance in the seeing of each other as the Creator. You may ask that those energies of the full moon move into your blue-ray energy center. That of communication, that of clear communication, that of inspiration, that of sharing with anyone who would care to know about your spiritual journey more of what makes you tick, shall we say, in a spiritual sense so that you are able to speak to any person that asks you a question whether it is a friend, a neighbor, a stranger on the street, or any person whatsoever that requests any kind of a spiritually oriented kind of information. family-love.txt:169:2024/0511.txt:52:This is a primary attempt to cause you to cease your seeking efforts to return to the comfort of indifference. In many cases, we find this effort can be successful or even cause even greater distortion for the seeker if such offerings are not brought into the heart, and understood in a light of acceptance and love, and shared with the friends and the family and the fellows who have joined you upon this journey. father-love.txt:40:1993/0323.txt:8:Now a life in faith may seem to demand the acceptance of some culturally chosen holy or worshipped individual such as the Buddha or the one known as Jesus. This is not so in that such ones as Buddha or Jesus the Christ spoke clearly to indicate that they were speaking not of themselves but of the mystery which the one known as Jesus called Father, or more familiarly, Daddy. This Father/Mother Creator has sent each inspired and inspiring historical figure into a troubled world to bear witness to the light and the love of the infinite Creator. The one known as Jesus said, “If you hear me, you hear not me but my Father who speaks through me.” female_leadership.html:213:cooperative environment that fosters love, acceptance, and the freedom of individual female_leadership.tex:135:In light of this historical context, the Confederation of Planets\footnote{https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2020/0118} invites us to shift towards a more matriarchal style of leadership. This approach is grounded in the feminine principle of 'awaiting the reaching'. Here, leadership isn't about domination or aggressive assertion. It's about creating a nurturing, comforting, and cooperative environment that fosters love, acceptance, and the freedom of individual expression. graduation.txt:63:1992/0503.txt:31:There is the graduation into and use of a physical vehicle which is more densely packed with light than the one which you now utilize in your current experience. This vehicle is that which is associated with the fourth energy center or chakra, that having to do with the heart, so that the primary influence of this body and its experience is that of learning the lessons of love, compassion, mercy, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance so that entities will have a greater opportunity to see the Creator in the creation about them, and to see and express that Creator within the self as well. graduation.txt:121:2005/0515.txt:10:The other bursts of energy which have hit this planet, and indeed your entire solar system, are those coming from what this instrument has sometimes called the great central Sun and are informed by the combined love and concern of various of the larger groups of entities who wish this planet and indeed this solar system well. For it is a time in this planetary cycle when there is a great deal of attention focused upon this planet from all over what you would call your major galaxy. The birth of fourth-density planet Earth goes well; the baby is very much alive. The resistance set up by fourth-density energies striking a very divided group of those who dwell upon the surface of planet Earth has set up waves of interference which could be seen to be as a planet-wide system of psychic greeting, if you will, in that all of those who are attempting at this time to embrace fourth-density values and live in a way that is compatible with graduation into fourth density can reliably expect at this time and in the near future to be visited by those entities and situations which offer the clearest possible catalyst having to do with all third-density energies that are still embraced that mitigate against the acceptance of fourth-density energies. green-ray-only.txt:30:1993/0530.txt:56:I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The phrase, “Son of God,” or the phrase, “The Christed One,” are means of expressing the kind of consciousness available to those who have been able to open the green-ray energy center in sufficient degree to feel and experience this creative force of love that has made all that there is. This quality of consciousness or attitude of beingness is the goal or opportunity which is offered each third-density entity as a means of passing from this illusion to the fourth density, where the study of this creative power of love is that which is the focus of all energy expenditure. Thus, the one known as Jesus was able to offer itself as a model or pattern by which entities could move their own consciousness to a larger view in which the acceptance of self and others as one being was far more easily facilitated. green-ray-only.txt:32:1996/0121.txt:50:I am Q’uo and am aware of your query my brother.

If this purpose were not already known to some degree by each of you we would not be able to speak, for we do not wish to infringe on the free will of any who seeks the path of his or her own evolution. However, since each of you is, shall we say, strongly suspicious of the path shared by each, we may say that that which you share together is a mutual awakening process that allows each of you to open your heart to the other and to develop that quality that you may call compassion, unconditional love, mercy, understanding, forgiveness, surrender and acceptance. These are the qualities of the green-ray energy center, of the heart and are indeed the salvation of this illusion. For each entity comes here to work in some degree upon the heart. This is the energy center through which connection with all the creation is possible, and as each of you moves through your daily round of activities, making those small adjustments each to the other in compassion and understanding, you continue this process that has been ongoing through the entire length of your relationship and which shall be the strength and foundation as your relationship continues into what you call your future. There is much of understanding which each of you has developed for the other and for all other selves because of your relationship to each other. green-ray-only.txt:67:2015/1121.txt:13:Make no mistake, for indeed there are no mistakes, that the Creator may learn from every decision made by each entity upon the planetary surface. Some of the lessons that are learned may be that, in some circumstances, there is a limit to the amount of green-ray energy that some entities may be able to offer to those who seem different enough from themselves to be denied this universal energy of acceptance, of understanding, and of tolerance. There may be the need for most of the entities upon the planet to repeat this great cycle of learning upon another third-density planet, if the lessons cannot be learned here. Indeed, much of the population of this planet has been cycled again to this planet from others where these lessons were not learned. green-ray-only.txt:87:2019/0518.txt:10:This is a process which each of you is aware of, both consciously (to a degree) and subconsciously, in completeness, so that you are aware that the chance and the opportunity to find the unconditional love flowing freely from your green-ray energy center is being enhanced as you meet each new day in your life experience. Each day you are aware will give you more and more opportunities to express this unconditional love and acceptance of much which you are now not able to greet with love, for there is so much in your world that seems to be other than partaking of love, partaking of unity, partaking of light, partaking of healing, partaking of the harmonizing of all that seems disharmonious. green-ray-only.txt:102:2020/0208.txt:61:After such an experience, it is possible that a continued relationship could develop so that eventually the entities could share in green ray love and acceptance of each other, finding coincidences in their lives that brought them together at that point in time that resulted in what was called an accident, and yet could be a coincidence. This may be taken further and further for those who would become adepts, but we feel that this is sufficient for the type of designation that the one known as Lily was desiring. green-ray.txt:11:1981ra-contact/032.txt:30:I am Ra. With the green-ray transfer of energy you now come to the great turning point sexually as well as in each other mode of experience. The green ray may then be turned outward, the entity then giving rather than receiving. The first giving beyond green ray is the giving of acceptance, or freedom, thus allowing the recipient of blue-ray energy transfer the opportunity for a feeling of being accepted, thus freeing that other-self to express itself to the giver of this ray. green-ray.txt:13:1981ra-contact/032.txt:74:The new material is this: once the green ray has been achieved, the ability of the entity to enter blue ray is immediate and is only awaiting the efforts of the individual. The indigo ray is opened only through considerable discipline and practice largely having to do with acceptance of self, not only as the polarized and balanced self but as the Creator, as an entity of infinite worth. This will begin to activate the indigo ray. green-ray.txt:119:2015/1121.txt:13:Make no mistake, for indeed there are no mistakes, that the Creator may learn from every decision made by each entity upon the planetary surface.

Indeed, much of the population of this planet has been cycled again to this planet from others where these lessons were not learned. green-ray.txt:130:2019/0518.txt:10:This is a process which each of you is aware of, both consciously (to a degree) and subconsciously, in completeness, so that you are aware that the chance and the opportunity to find the unconditional love flowing freely from your green-ray energy center is being enhanced as you meet each new day in your life experience. Each day you are aware will give you more and more opportunities to express this unconditional love and acceptance of much which you are now not able to greet with love, for there is so much in your world that seems to be other than partaking of love, partaking of unity, partaking of light, partaking of healing, partaking of the harmonizing of all that seems disharmonious. green-ray.txt:139:2019/0928.txt:28:Thus, the green ray is that which is given freely without discrimination that is possible within the blue-ray energy center that sees more clearly that which is before the face, before the eye, before one’s presence. Thus, it is not always necessary to open the green ray before the blue-ray energy center is itself activated. For the blue ray sees with a certain clarity that which the green ray does not see, for there are not conditions for the green ray in being able to see or love that which is before one. Thus, there is no danger, as far as we are aware of opening the blue ray before the green ray. The blue ray offers the one activating it a certain kind of protection. However, in relation to other selves, it is, perhaps, more helpful if the green ray is also activated before the blue ray so that the blue ray may be informed with the acceptance on an unconditional basis of another entity, or the creation about one. green-ray.txt:145:2019/1116.txt:63:I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. There is a great deal of accuracy within your statement. However, we would go, perhaps, a step further and suggest that the clearest communication that offers the opportunity of joining the hearts and minds of those within the conversation that contains disharmony, or the need for clarification, may be aided by the opening of the green-ray energy center as well. [Thus] there may be added to the clarity of the blue ray the compassion of the green ray, which does not alter the truth in its essence, but perhaps may state the truth in a loving fashion which does not include the more aggressive parts, or jarring parts of total clarity where there may be accusations or blame, and the making of another responsible for this or that result of the interaction between entities. Thus, the green ray energy center may serve as a kind of loving acceptance of another being so that the clear communication is received as a kind of spiritual food. green-ray.txt:151:2020/0208.txt:61:After such an experience, it is possible that a continued relationship could develop so that eventually the entities could share in green ray love and acceptance of each other, finding coincidences in their lives that brought them together at that point in time that resulted in what was called an accident, and yet could be a coincidence. This may be taken further and further for those who would become adepts, but we feel that this is sufficient for the type of designation that the one known as Lily was desiring. hatred.txt:13:1988/1009.txt:6:When an entity is extremely positive, as each within this circle is, that which may be seen by others to be unimportant or non-catalytic, upon the contrary sensitive entities which seek will certainly use this catalyst and experience painfully negative emotions. Thus, hatred is love which has been hurt badly. Anger is that which comes of hatred. Beneath the hatred is what this instrument would call the orange-ray blockage. This is especially painful when the entity who is in pain has some difficulty in experiencing self-worth and self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-love. hatred.txt:20:1992/0410.txt:37:When you see yourself in a position of possible service to others and fear or any type of negativity arises, if you can remind yourself of something such as the story I just shared and allow that this fear in you is also a catalyst which may be transformed from darkness to light by your clear observation of it, by your awareness and acceptance, then you find that even the so-called negative emotions in you can give rise to purity of action, speech and thought. Fear becomes a catalyst for compassion. Hatred and the fear behind hatred can be clearly seen for what they are: not as an intrinsic part of you, but as a reaction due to certain conditions that have arisen and led to that fear. And the knowing that there is fear within you, in itself, becomes a path to clarify your energy so that your response to this being that is feeling fear, to this aspect of yourself, becomes even more loving, more clear and pure than it was before. heart-open-process.txt:12:1991/0526.txt:28:The eventual priority of compassion over intellectual acceptance is a key process, for many choices are made instinctively. When you open the heart, when you clear the communication energies and when you can rest in the work in consciousness which simply requires one to gaze without judgment at the self, you have achieved a configuration which will greatly accelerate both your process of spiritual evolution, and your effectiveness as a being of light and an agent of the Creator to those whose lives you touch. Most of what entities see of the Creator is seen in your faces and in your outstretched hands and in the compassion with which you listen and communicate with entities about those things which trouble them. The simple listening with an open heart is in... heart-open-process.txt:22:1993/0328.txt:10:This is difficult to accept. The thinker wishes the self not to be flawed, not to be relative, the seeker wishes to be whole, to be absolute, and so the seeker in truth is beyond the realm of the illusion. Yet each came here to pay close attention to the illusion, with all of its difficulties, and one of the points of business for each seeker in its work in consciousness is the work on achieving the healing of memories, the acceptance of the stream of incarnative experience as it has been experienced, and the forgiveness of the illusion and the manifested self for being flawed. The hardness of heart comes because there is not the instinct to move directly into the heart and open the self to the wholehearted request for forgiveness. Though the religious expression has enormous amounts to recommend it, the dependency upon religious expression to objectify the process of forgiveness to the greater Self—as an objectified and solidified other-self—numbs the inner sense of truth to the fact that this process of forgiveness is not external to the self. heart-open-process.txt:40:1999/1017.txt:40:We would recommend, as we would in many such instances, that the loving acceptance of the process is the first foundation stone to lay in the attempt to serve another entity. For if one is able to see that the difficulties shared in such a relationship are also offering opportunities for the opening of the heart, each to the other, then the proper valuing of the experience may be appreciated. When one sees that such a relationship is sacred in its nature and fertile in the possibility of producing the open heart, then it is possible to see the interrelationship of the entities as that which will eventually produce the desired opening of the heart. As one supports each in the process one may retire periodically to the meditative state to look more deeply at that which occurs in the daily round of activities, for those experiences which, shall we say, push the various buttons, each of the other, and result in the heated words, the hurt feelings, and the overall confusion as regards the entire situation, one may begin to see a pattern in the relationship where there is the possibility of progress as each is able to accept what previously seemed unacceptable, each is able to love what previously [was] seen as unloveable. The process of being able to see and accept more and more of the other self as whole and perfect allows the self to do the same with the self. For in each instance it is a process of learning that occurs within each individual entity and then is offered in love and service to the other. heart-open-process.txt:43:1999/1205.txt:39:I am Q’uo, and we believe that we grasp your query. Please query further if we are incorrect. There are various points of harmony, shall we say, betwixt the energy centers of individuals such as yourself and the planetary entity that is the sphere upon which you now dwell. As the planetary entity moves through its process of evolution it, as do each of those entities such as yourself which live upon it, opens various doors, certain tones or themes are made available so that those entities such as yourself which are in the planet’s care are able to take advantage of these doors, these tones, these reaches of possibility that allow each entity upon the planet to harmonize its own seeking with the planetary evolution. Thus, the interrelationship of this planetary entity and those upon it is that which can be utilized to enhance one’s process of becoming aware of the nature of the self, of the creation, and the opening of the heart of the self through the acceptance of all that is. heart-open-process.txt:47:2000/0507.txt:11:If the way of wisdom contains a linear structure so that one can follow one’s processes and talk logically about them, it also holds the energy within the higher chakras or energy centers. Working with wisdom is not working with heart or with the lower energies but, rather, largely, the indigo-ray, and to some extent, the blue-ray energy centers. While it is good to do work in consciousness in this manner it is also somewhat imbalanced because there is no encouragement of the flow of energy through the system but, rather, the holding of energy in the higher chakras. Conversely, when one is working in the way of the open heart one is constantly faced with the entire spectrum of self, from the lowest and most primitive emotion, the desire for survival, the desire for sexual reproduction, the desire for food and safety, upwards throughout the system, touching all of the energy centers, rising as high as indigo ray, but again and again springboarding from the heart. So that instead of the seeker moving into and maintaining as a steady state reliance on the higher chakras, the seeker in the way of love has released the preference for work in the higher energy centers and has accepted the self as a full energy system and reconfigured the goal from staying in the higher energies to accelerating the flow of energy throughout the entire system. Instead of a safe but somewhat turgid and slow moving path of energy refinement the brother and sister of the open heart are attempting to take the whole self as it is and through blind faith alone and the processes of self-acceptance and self-forgiveness blessing, forgiving, redeeming, transforming and offering each and every emotion and sensation to the one infinite Creator. heart-open-process.txt:54:2001/0211.txt:30:I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. If this purpose were not already known to some degree by each of you we would not be able to speak, for we do not wish to infringe on the free will of any who seeks the path of his or her own evolution. However, since each of you is, shall we say, strongly suspicious of the path shared by each, we may say that that which you share together is a mutual awakening process that allows each of you to open your heart to the other and to develop that quality that you may call compassion, unconditional love, mercy, understanding, forgiveness, surrender and acceptance. These are the qualities of the green-ray energy center, of the heart and are indeed the salvation of this illusion. For each entity comes here to work in some degree upon the heart. This is the energy center through which connection with all the creation is possible, and as each of you moves through your daily round of activities, making those small adjustments each to the other in compassion and understanding, you continue this process that has been ongoing through the entire length of your relationship and which shall be the strength and foundation as your relationship continues into what you call your future. There is much of understanding which each of you has developed for the other and for all other selves because of your relationship to each other. heart-open-process.txt:81:2005/0120.txt:14:First of all, note that this instrument intends a very simple and single-minded thing when she comes to the channeling process. She is placing herself in service to the one infinite Creator and she is defining carefully the way in which she will enter her workspace to do this service. She gathers about herself the artifacts of her faith. The artifacts which were about her during the contact with those of Ra lie within the room in which each of you is sitting at this time and these artifacts are familiar and dear to her, have been handled by her, and have meaning to her beyond the occasion of this particular session. The chalice, the incense, and the Bible open to the phrase, “In the beginning was the Word,” all have a deep heart connection for this instrument. And they constitute to her, in a metaphysical rather than a physical way, a symbolic but very real safety. She rests her spirit amongst the artifacts of her faith. It is a reassurance on a subconscious level, and, in the context of her work, there is an implicit acceptance of her values by those who sit in circle with her. All of these aspects of the artifacts around her, therefore, act as a safety net so that she is able to feel quite free to let go and respond with very pure focus to the process of the channeling. heart-open-process.txt:89:2005/0518.txt:45:The under-activation of the blue-ray chakra is due to a lack of a feeling of self-worth which is because of the fact that you have not yet concluded the process of self-forgiveness and self-acceptance that you have begun in opening your heart. The over-activation is a matter of your very active and strong will, which is encouraging you onward to communicate ever more openly and to move ever more fully into those energies of full sharing, fully open communication, and that self which wishes to move on into work in consciousness, or into indigo-ray work. heart-open-process.txt:122:2018/0106.txt:11:At some point, each seeker of truth must realize that this shadow side is a good friend, and has much to teach, for it is holding in reserve those areas of blockage which, when dealt with clearly, release the energy that is held in place by the blockage, that it might move upward along the line of energy centers, and release a certain kind of experiential energy at each level, for you all have planned, previous to this life experience, those lessons which are necessary for you, in your own estimation, to complete in order to become the whole human being that you desire to be, that being which sees all as love, gives and receives freely with each, the quality of universal love and acceptance. The effort that you make to uncover those hidden areas within you that can offer you learning to achieve this goal, is what is called the process of the polarization of your consciousness, for as those who are devoted to seeking and serving other selves, this positive polarization becomes the means by which you might open the heart energy center and release the unconditional love that abides therein. indigo-ray-large.txt:12:1989/1203.txt:18:Could one do without glory? By no means. To say “glory” is also to say “passion.” Glory is the passion of the heart and it has its artifacts in the blue ray of communication of an inspirational nature and the indigo ray of work done upon the self in self-healing, self-forgiveness, self-quieting and, above all, self-acceptance. The beginning of lover—we correct this instrument—the beginning of loving others as one loves the self is to discover the glory within the self, to forgive the self for its behaviors which shall be various due to the workings of free will, so that one may concentrate as much as possible simply on loving and being with the infinite One. indigo-ray-large.txt:30:1991/0526.txt:1: [overview] The question today has to do with how one can use the heart chakra, the opening of the heart chakra, as a springboard to the acceptance of self that is a process usually found or engaged in the indigo-ray center.

May you rejoice in your troubles even as you suffer. May you roll the stone away from the tomb of your limited acceptance of damaging thoughts. May each look you take be fresh, and may you live in love, and so love each other with a passion and a zeal that blesses each with whom you come in contact. You need say nothing. The I AM in you, that Kingdom of Heaven, of which Jesus the Christ spoke, lies deep within you, for you are all that there is. It is simply the illusion which keeps you from that ultimate knowledge.

Those who follow various of the well-known religious sets of belief use various symbols for the principle of redemption or forgiveness. The one known as Jesus is perhaps the best example. However, as each self is made up of that which is the Christ consciousness and that which is the free will consciousness, there is only to be needed a simple recollection by a very complex entity within the illusion. So many, many illusions must be stripped away before one can see clearly one’s true nature and begin to wish to become the consciousness of love and not the consciousness of variousness or free will. Both characteristics are part and parcel of each entity, yet those which attempt to be of service to self, which are not aware of their doing so, but instead are happily ignorant of any decision that needs to be made between service to self and service to others, shall not be troubled until it is their time to be troubled with such simple choices as face each who has awakened to his path.\\ jesus-love.tex:90:1990/0415:37:As to the name, Sananda, the Christ name has moved through many namings.

You are one, as are most who have studied the consciousness, the mind and the actions of the one known as Jesus the Christ. Listen to this entity.

The events themselves do not teach, and one’s reactions to the events do not fully teach; but the way one deals with one’s unredeemed and lost emotions make a great difference. The attitude can be adjusted by daily, silent meditation. This is a good foundation upon which to build each day. However, much of the day is spent in a far more active and less contemplative mode. Within this active mode there seems little time for the reseating of one’s consciousness into the center of a life lived in faith.

One cannot become able to love others unconditionally until one has forgiven the self. We encourage each to press on towards self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and that feeling that each day is a new one, each moment is a clean and untouched thing.\\ Jesus.tex:121:``As to the name, Sananda, the Christ name has moved through many namings. There is no one name of this consciousness that may declare itself unique at this time, that is, the only entity which speaks as the principle of the master known as Jehoshua, or Jesus. We ask that you yourself listen with an open heart to the messages of the one known to you as Sananda—how many names this energy has been perceived as having, how many more shall there be. You are one, as are most who have studied the consciousness, the mind and the actions of the one known as Jesus the Christ. Listen to this entity. Seems it to speak in humility, compassion and acceptance, encouraging each to love each other? If that be so, what matters it what it call itself?'' LLResearch 1990/04/15 \footnote{https://llresearch.org/channeling/1990/0415} ll1990s-body.tex:35:32: I am Q’uo. The acceptance\index{acceptance} of limitations is both simple and excruciatingly difficult. To accept a limitation is to fight not against it, and it is humankind’s nature to fight, to see any limitation, or lack of freedom, as a fault, and to move body, and soul, and mind, and spirit\index{spirit}, in will and faith that the condition experienced—which may be difficult at the present moment—by the activities of good attitude, proper care of the body, and proper discipline\index{discipline} of the mind and personality, may become more and more able to be themselves.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:40:37: I am Q’uo. I shall continue. The acceptance\index{acceptance} of limitations is a very personal, metaphysical question. If one accepts limitations that are unacceptable to the personality, one is not accepting limitations, but rather becoming dutiful, and duty is a negative emotion. So we suggest to each that one do what one can to improve one’s condition, with joy\index{joy}, and to meet that which one cannot meet with joy with a sense of peace\index{peace} and acceptance.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:56:4: Because each is unique, there is sometimes a frightening realization that honest disagreements of a fairly deep nature exist. In the atmosphere of honest disagreement, there needs to be a realization of that which is beyond the surface, intellectual and emotional thinking. That awareness is a centripetal force\index{force} that brings the couple back to the center to become “one.” This becoming one does not diminish either self, but is rather a different entity which you may call “us.” (Each us( is an unique blend of perspectives, biases and viewpoints, just as each are unique in self. This us-self is the beginning of what has been called a social\index{social} memory complex\index{social memory complex}. Total acceptance\index{acceptance} of another, without the need to understand\index{understand}, creates an atmosphere in which understanding becomes possible. Intellectually, one can only be hagridden1 by attempts to understand and rationalize the behavior of another.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:71:19:\heart: May you share laughter and tears, And may you remember that such relationships and such learning are the work not of a week, nor a year or a decade, but of a lifetime. You may feel you are making no progress\index{progress}. But look back ten years and see the value of shared experience. Above all, refuse to become adversaries. Always attempt to put the self in the place of the other self. And to give that other self every consideration, as their freedom, every ounce of love\index{love} within your being. Release and surrender\index{surrender} your mate to the love of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. And allow your mate to release you. For each of you is strong, independent and able. Your differences are the dynamics which make your “us”-ness strong. So do not fear\index{fear} disagreement. Simply recognize that there will be honest disagreement and that this is acceptable. May you live in faith, faith that that which is happening is that which is supposed to be happening. Faith that there is love in the moment, if one looks hard enough for it. Faith in the difficulties, that the difficulties is a challenge which shall bear fruit\index{fruit}. And faith that recognizes and rejoices in those times which are easy and warm\index{warm} and loving. Remember always to give thanks and praise for such moments. For if you may give sufficient praise and include the Creator in these special moments, then you need not so much suffer\index{suffer} disagreements. For you are doing your work of becoming more and more a strong union. While in good humor, the more you may do in a conscious work. While in a good humor, the less need you will have for the challenge and the learning inherent in trauma. Yet trauma there shall be, for as you meditate, as you learn\index{learn} together each shall change, not once but many times. And there is a continuous need for acceptance\index{acceptance}, forgiveness and for encouragement, one to the other.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:446:46: The challenge should take place once one hears an identification, “I am Laitos\index{laitos},” or, “I am Oxal,” or, “I am Q’uo.” There are many within the Confederation\index{confederation} who teach, and you will find that contact which is most helpful to you and most productive of good, inspirational and information material. This is a matter of practice and of time. To go further in your acceptance\index{acceptance} of the contact is not only folly, it can lead to madness. We ask that the instrument never move beyond the signature, the identification, but simply ask the identified contact to be with the instrument in its meditation\index{meditation}, for we of the Confederation have a strong and general carrier wave which aids in deepening and making more useful the meditative experience.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:472:9: Once the faculty of unnecessary judging has been removed and replaced by an eager acceptance\index{acceptance} of the rightness of that which is occurring, one may then gaze upon what one considers limitations, and it is at this point only that we speak of limitations, having warned you as carefully as possible always to avoid mental constructs and structures which predetermine the meaning of your particular experience of being limited. This is your creation, a creation of the heart\index{heart} and of the spirit\index{spirit}. Yes, it is a creation of your deeper mind, but your deeper mind is your heart, not your intellect. The intellect is the animal\index{animal} you ride so that you do not die to this world before you have tasted of the joy\index{joy} of being alive.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:474:11:\heart: A limitation is wisely accepted\index{accepted} as the basis of evaluation of further action. When one cannot walk one finds oneself an appropriate seat. When one cannot speak, one remains silent. When one cannot understand\index{understand}, one embraces mystery. When one cannot move, one embraces the concept of moving motionlessness. This is a foundation acceptance\index{acceptance} that is very helpful to the heart\index{heart}. It is not wisdom\index{wisdom} to ignore the circumstance of the physical vehicle, for these are the limitations of which you speak, limitations of action, of movement, of energy, but this is only the basis for further waiting, waiting in patience\index{patience}, in quietude, in certainty of the constant inflow of inspiration, for many are those who choose to do as much as possible, regardless of the circumstances and regardless of those things done, because authority says those who do the most are worth the most. Thus, the self values activity without evaluating worth, the love\index{love} one has, the joy\index{joy} one has in each activity, but simply assuming that to give is to be productive, to be busy, to be active.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:475:12: We speak directly to this particular instrument as well as in general to all, for this instrument has recently moved through the concepts of authority, limitation, and the making of decisions and it has discovered, and you will discover, the positive and the negative necessity of the acceptance\index{acceptance} of limitations being the beginning of the true choosing of that which is good to do for the self, and that which is kind to yield to for the self. It takes more patience\index{patience} than many have to wait upon inspiration, for the process of waiting is the process of forgiving the self for the limitation it has, and a beginning to believe\index{believe} that the change that is occurring is not a limitation, but a transformation, an alteration of the path of service intended by yourself and the Creator together before this incarnational experience was ever begun.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:482:19:\heart: You are treasures, you are gems. Trust the process of limitation and loss to show forth to yourself, to the world and to all whom you may serve, all whom you may meet, that beautiful\index{beautiful} gem hidden within, that many-faceted, amazingly wondrous, youthful self. May you shine through that Earthly vessel. May you use misfortune in joy\index{joy}. May you drop away that which is busyness without undue fear\index{fear}, but with love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and may you accept each change through the pain\index{pain}, through the difficulty of change, in perfect faith that all is well and all will be well, and you are fearless, holding up the light of consciousness to a world hungry\index{hungry} for consciousness and far too full of the awareness of its own clay.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:656:14:\heart: All entities have help available to them. None need rely upon the self. But to those whose childhoods have been experienced as accepting and cherishing and nurturing will come those entities which are personal, speak personally to the entity, are intimate with the entity, and become the objective vision which encompasses the wall of self-forgiveness. Those who have been caused to believe\index{believe} that they cannot be as they are and be loved learn\index{learn} to behave and carry into their relationship\index{relationship} with love\index{love} an entity which behaves, rather than an entity which is as it is. In this case the same help is available, but it shall come to the entity in an impersonal form. Such impersonal forces, principles and entities, are as we, those who speak as inspiringly as possible through each instrument of the depth and resonance of the self of each of you, calling\index{calling} to you to call within yourself, acceptance\index{acceptance}, love and forgiveness.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:673:31:\heart: (Inaudible( query which was posed by this instrument, as there is the difficulty of the instrument’s own individual small self which has its opinion, and would in any case doubt\index{doubt} that which we were to offer. We shall simply say that the nature of health\index{health} and wellness is a nature which knows not bone nor sinew, blood or tendon, infection or disease. The health\index{health} and wellness of an entity is its acceptance\index{acceptance} of itself, and its realization that all is as it should be and as it must be for the entity to be open to the lessons of love\index{love} received and given in that moment.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:678:36:\heart: As to the name, Sananda, the Christ\index{christ} name has moved through many namings. There is no one name of this consciousness that may declare itself unique at this time, that is, the only entity which speaks as the principle of the master\index{master} known as Jehoshua\index{jehoshua}, or Jesus\index{jesus}. We ask that you yourself listen with an open heart\index{heart} to the messages of the one known to you as Sananda—how many names this energy has been perceived as having, how many more shall there be. You are one, as are most who have studied the consciousness, the mind and the actions of the one known as Jesus the Christ. Listen to this entity. Seems it to speak in humility\index{humility}, compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, encouraging each to love\index{love} each other? If that be so, what matters it what it call itself?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:679:37:\heart: We may say specifically only that the intentness of the entity which is Christ\index{christ} is a consciousness which has used channels which have given over their lives to servanthood. Gaze clearly upon the face of love\index{love}. There is no pride\index{pride}, there is no judgment, there is always love, forgiveness and healing\index{healing}. That which is of Christ-consciousness dares the entity to look at itself, to accept itself, and by that impossibility of self acceptance\index{acceptance} and blind faith, be healed. If the entity whom you hear has this love, this yearning, this passion and this healing, you may judge for yourself what energy or principle of the Creator this entity is. We do not give opinions positive or negative of any source, but ask each entity to use its discrimination\index{discrimination}, and always to use the light touch, the relaxed and time-consuming patience\index{patience} allowing ideas offered by such consciousnesses to steep and ripen within the self. By (the( fruits of these teachings shall you know the nature of him who planted the seed\index{seed} that blooms within yourself.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:742:7:\heart: This is your glory and your power. You are an expression of consciousness. Your consciousness is made up of two things, that which we call love\index{love}, or the one original Thought, that is to say, the Creator Itself, and that primary principle of free will. Without the introduction of free will the universe would be infinite\index{infinite} and intelligent, but it would not be conscious of itself. You have been cast forth as a sower broadcasts the seeds of a garden. Within you, without knowing articulately, you are a certain kind of seed\index{seed}. All begin with this basic seed-nature. During the course of incarnation upon incarnation you begin to become aware in an unique way of your own consciousness. Although this is merely a recapitulation of that realization which is the harvestability of second density\index{second density} into third, we emphasize it again and again to you in this context. Your turning to the light, your yearning for love and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and your more mature yearning to be loving and be compassionate are such deep portions of your mind that, shall we say, the metaprogram of your existence is based upon this nature.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:750:15:\heart: The study\index{study} of the archetypical mind may seem to be irrelevant, but let us hold up to you the contrast. On the one hand there is the entity which believes that it may collect learnings, and by that collection form a staircase of light which moves that entity gnostically into higher and higher realms of wisdom\index{wisdom} until it has finally realized itself. To our understanding there is no way to improve one’s grasp of one’s spiritual situation or one’s ability to benefit from this illusion\index{illusion} which is summed up in wisdom literature. Wisdom is not what you are here to learn\index{learn}. Certainly you may use it, but what you are here to learn is the open heart\index{heart}, the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the unacceptable, the love\index{love} of the unlovable, the meaning of the word compassion\index{compassion}, the entry in a personal way of infinity\index{infinity} and eternity\index{eternity} into the supposedly mundane existence.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:941:34: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The open heart\index{heart} which accepts the pain\index{pain} of change will find the means of healing\index{healing} that which is broken within more easily accomplished if the attitude attending the painful change is one of acceptance\index{acceptance} rather than containing any of that which you would call resistance. However, it is not easily accomplished, for that which has carried one to any present point is that with which one is familiar upon a stable basis. When changes are great enough, it often feels as if the foundation beneath one’s feet is cracking and separating to the degree that one shall be torn asunder as well. The ability to move with such changes in the acceptance of the new configuration of self is an ability which is developed through great effort, and is one which most entities never master\index{master} upon your plane of illusion\index{illusion}, but are forced by circumstance to accept, and only in retrospect are they able to see the beneficial\index{beneficial} aspects of those experiences which have been greatly traumatic previously.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:964:10: We are those of Laitos\index{laitos}, and would gently interrupt this small tale\index{tale} to admit to the one known as S that this method of teaching the channeling\index{channeling} is usually reserved for students who have had several experiences simply in receiving contact. However, we assure the one known as S that this method will, in our opinion, best relax and open the channeling gift which this instrument does indeed have. For in telling the story\index{story} which no one knows the middle or the end, it is simply a matter of placing one sentence in front of another, as one would walk one foot in front of another. There is no right story. There is no right ending. But only the creation of truth by the surrender\index{surrender} of small considerations to the acceptance\index{acceptance} of a mystery which may or may not uncover more interesting subject matter for thought.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1027:5:\heart: In the full acceptance\index{acceptance} of this body that is yours within the illusion\index{illusion}, is the full healing\index{healing} of this body. Find the way in your heart\index{heart} to love\index{love} all aspects of this body, never to begrudge it, (inaudible(. Always to understand\index{understand} that same energy in others and to love and accept each vibration as lovely.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1033:11: The attitudes involve a give and take of energies and an acceptance\index{acceptance} of patterns and behavior and a feeling which comes upon one as from a source which is larger than one, and which seems to be other than one. To deal effectively with the balancing of the yellow\index{yellow} ray one must accept that the illusion\index{illusion} in which one deals is as it should be, and one must accept the gift that the illusion offers in the form of the particular experience which is one’s own. When this experience has been assimilated and accepted\index{accepted}, the possibility of moving into relation to the energies of the green-ray center becomes established.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1082:6: If the physical leaving is impossible, then the non-hearing and the non-acceptance, though passive, is extremely productive of results. There may be phrases of seeming agreement when they say “Yes, yes, of course,” “Yes, my dear, that could be true,” but these things could be programmed to fit impersonally, without emotion, without fear\index{fear}, and without interest\index{interest}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1088:12:\heart: The other entity may still have, for some reason connected with your learning process, the ability to cause changes in your geographical location, and in your circumstances in general, but in no case is such an entity able, except by your own permission and acceptance\index{acceptance}, able to affect you yourself. You may be imprisoned, you may be tortured, you may be in any manner of situations, but as you recall who you are, an imperishable spirit\index{spirit} of light that lives by faith, you become untouchable, for you have about you what this instrument would call the whole armor of light, and the Creator Itself is your protection, for you are as much children\index{children} of the Creator as any other, as much to be loved and protected as any other, and in no way deficient.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1589:22: This is a most intensive testing. It is one which you have set before yourself as a means by which you shall further purify your desires regarding service to others\index{service to others} and in a personal sense, regarding your acceptance\index{acceptance} of yourself for your ability to endure. The product of such a test is ultimately quite simple in that the entity has persevered long enough to give itself the opportunity to do so once again.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1718:6:\heart: We would, in fact, give as our opinion that it is by no means the majority of entities who find each other unacceptable in some way, shape or form, that have had karma\index{karma} to be balanced. It is just as possible that the entities that you truly are—they being far more pure than you can imagine—have made agreements, one with another, for the mutual benefit of each. Each need usually in these relationships to learn\index{learn} the same kind of lesson about love\index{love}, and we believe\index{believe} that the word in the question was “acceptance\index{acceptance}.”\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1722:10: So, it is well to put the intellect to one side, and to realize that this acceptance\index{acceptance} of entities which you find unacceptable is for you important, not to find the solution, for when these agreements have been made before incarnation they normally have been made because the entities have very, very deep biases which will give each other catalyst; thus, it is unlikely that the outward situation changes. Although it is always possible, it is not probable.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1736:24:\heart: This was not intended to be a comfortable life; this was intended to be an incarnation of very hard work, for the surrendering of the desire\index{desire} to control, and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the need to be loving, whether there is love\index{love} returned or not, to be understanding, whether there is understanding returned or not, is paramount in your path of service. This is what you are doing for yourself. This is the gift you gave yourself. Cherish it. Be honest with it. Be thankful for it. And use the tools of stepping back, making affirmations, and, if necessary, walking away from the situation in which you have to some degree become unable to do these things, long enough to be able to regain your perspective of infinity\index{infinity}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1741:29:\heart: We realize that as usual we have talked too long. We were about to launch into further considerations, but we feel that our time is up and this instrument wishes for us to say farewell through this instrument, and so we shall. We thank\index{thank} this instrument for speaking upon a subject which in truth she was loathe to attempt, as the instrument is indeed one of those who asked this question. We hope\index{hope} that the tools that we have made available are part of what you may use to move into harmony with love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance} and the allowing of all entities to be as they are, and that includes yourself. You cannot push a flower\index{flower} out of the ground. You must wait, nourish it, feed it, water\index{water} it, let the sun shine upon it, and give all credit, all glory and praise and thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving} for the bloom to the Creator of that bloom.

Your birthmark is joy\index{joy} unrestrained, and overwhelming love for all.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:1973:45: As you are aware, there is great virtue in this kind of pattern of behavior, for it continually stretches the limitations and strengthens the will in so doing. There is also, as you have mentioned, great virtue in being able to accept one’s limitations, accept that which cannot be changed, and look for the door that is opened when another is closed. It is well that one in your position develop the ability for such acceptance\index{acceptance}, for the limitations, as it is well known to you, are relatively set.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:2078:17:\heart: We realize that some this week in this group\index{group} have had difficulty and we ask, did you see each difficulty as a difficulty or as an opportunity? Had you faith that the Creator had placed this particular situation in front of you so that you might find the love\index{love} in the unlovable and acceptance\index{acceptance} in the unacceptable and hence polarize in compassion\index{compassion} and purity of emotions as is your heart\index{heart}’s wish\index{wish} on the path?

But whether the little life of flesh is ended or is preserved, then you shall be with the Creator. Take these opportunities to polarize, to experience unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, to experience a deep forgiveness of all concerned, and most of all of yourself for being dazed by the illusion\index{illusion} once again.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:2552:36: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. When one uses the sound vibration complex that you call name for the one Creator and give to that name your own acceptance\index{acceptance} and adoration then you provide for yourself a channel or a gateway into that portion of your being where this is true. For within each has the one Creator hidden Itself that through the expression of the individualized self the one Creator might know more of Itself and each portion of Itself might then partake in this discovery, one for the other, as the yearning for union grows.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:2609:7:\heart: The most strengthening gift that you can cultivate in the regard of this most important and central service is the gift of persistence and unflagging acceptance\index{acceptance} of any and all circumstances, because it is only an illusion\index{illusion} that lies between you and that which is the truth. To extend across the chasm between doubt\index{doubt} and faith some entities need great structures to guide them. Other entities find their chapel in the woods, or in the mountain\index{mountain}, however it is that you are most comforted by meditation\index{meditation}. Therefore, a basic step, if you wish\index{wish} truly to accelerate the pace of spiritual evolution, is first of all to learn\index{learn} to honor, love\index{love} and value yourself as an absolute whole and perfect being. All else is illusion. You within are imperishable. You will one day discard this physical vehicle in order to grasp by review those things which you have done in this life, so that you may, with guidance, whether you call it the Holy Spirit\index{holy spirit}, inner planes aid, or contacts such as this one, (form a new life plan(. This inner guidance is most transparent when the meditation is daily, without necessarily being as long as this instrument informs us our messages are.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:2639:37: However, we must add that the most important ingredient in this relationship\index{relationship} and process of mirroring is the acceptance\index{acceptance} each of the other so that there is no need for change to occur for the entity to be accepted\index{accepted}. When this level of trust has been established the foundation work has been accomplished and the structure of the relationship then may be built upon this firm foundation, and when there are difficulties that arise within the relationship, as most assuredly they will as a part of the playing out of catalyst, it is well for each to remind the other that the foundation of the relationship is acceptance, that is, not conditional, and which is all-embracing.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:2827:6:\heart: How does one make this pathway straight? Largely by coming to terms with your three so-called lower, but what we would call perhaps fundamental, energies, through which all living light must pass to flow into the heart\index{heart} to give it the power and the strength\index{strength} and the stability it needs in order that it may heal, or communicate, discern wisdom\index{wisdom}, discern spirits, or any other gift of the open heart, all of which are concerned with loving the Creator and human kind. How can you do this if the heart is open, but the energy moving into it must move through far too small an opening because you have not come to terms with yourself, you have not accepted\index{accepted} yourself, you have not accepted your relationships; you have not accepted the primacy of love\index{love}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, over any personal preference whatsoever; you have not done the work of forgiveness, perhaps, or self-forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance}, or more likely, self-acceptance?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:2835:14:\heart: How then should an entity which has found a personal truth, a personal path from the mundane to eternity\index{eternity}, express itself in regard to other people? Two things especially need to be kept in mind. Firstly, the most important witness an entity can offer for the one Creator in glory, in peace\index{peace} and in joy\index{joy}, is the manifestation of the self with conscious encouragement of the self in unspoken and uncontrived witness. We expect those who have achieved this much maturity to have chosen a path, and to be able to speak of that path. But the first gift that one may give is presence, simply practicing the presence of the Creator within the self, and allowing the practice of that presence to shine forth so that those of any kind may sense that peace\index{peace} which is not the world’s, that joy which the world only knows as happiness, the palest shadow\index{shadow} of joy, of love\index{love}, indescribable, but quite clearly observable among those who would gaze at the face of one who truly loves. This is your greatest witness, it is your greatest help to your beloved people and to your planet as a whole, for the planet itself responds to self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. These are metaphysical vibrations as strong in mending the Earth\index{earth} as the pressure of tectonic plates is strong in mending the adjustment of the Earth in catastrophic style.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:2840:19:\heart: To begin again, to begin again, to begin again—how the human spirit\index{spirit} rebels. Yet within the present moment there is only beginning, and there is nothing but the present moment in any spiritual consideration. So look to the loving and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the higher power which you may call as you wish\index{wish}. Look to your relationship\index{relationship} with that love\index{love} that created you. Allow within yourself the birth\index{birth} in the manger of your heart\index{heart} of your own spiritual beingness, true, imperishable, consciousness. Guard it, just as the story\index{story} speaks of this infant’s mother\index{mother} and father\index{father} fleeing to protect their child. Protect this child as lovingly, and with as much feeling of honor.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3063:10:\heart: We are aware that this seems in some ways very glib, because the tearing and rending of the self, as one develops in maturity, is certainly most painful, and almost impossible to understand\index{understand} while it is going on. It is necessary only to understand that all things within the self, though contradictory, confused, and to whatever extent unenlightened, are acceptable, beloved, and supported by the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and by that spirit\index{spirit} of love\index{love} that moves with you and is your companion at all times. There is no way that you can move away from love, except by ignoring it because of fear\index{fear}. You see, to the Creator, you are never guilty\index{guilty}, you are never unaccepted. To the Creator, you are always in a paradise, but each of you is in an illusion\index{illusion} which decries the apparent inaccuracy of our previous statement, and it is only by faith that you may feel that love, that acceptance\index{acceptance}, that forgiveness, and that support. It is only by faith that you may continue standing when you feel that life has cut you off at the knees. It is only by faith that you can stay alive when you feel that your life is not worth the living.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3111:34: You would be in effect carrying out an interior psychodrama, shall we say, that you have identified with, as you begin to experience the creation as that which is contained within you and in so allowing this energy to move through your being would then begin to transmute those feelings within yourself of the identity with each of the aforementioned entities so that that which within yourself identifies with lesser qualities, those which are yet to be accepted\index{accepted}, would then be available for the acceptance\index{acceptance} within your own being as your feeling of identity with these entities and those portions of your self which they energize might be completed.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3241:24:\heart: From our perspective there is no difference, for all is one and your peoples are beginning to perceive this also. However, there has been such rigid training and differentiation, especially in your Western cultures, between the sacred\index{sacred} and the mundane that many have much retraining work to do within themselves. Much of this is accomplished naturally as new realizations occur to people. For others this process will be more difficult and there are many who are, by choice, so steeped in their own religious traditions and beliefs that (they( will never allow themselves consciously to grasp the unity of the concepts. For these, all one who is attempting unification can do is to extend love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} and acknowledgment of the ascendancy of free will within which these individuals have chosen to restrict their use of life. Individuals in such a position are, as are all others, on their own path and learning those lessons appropriate to themselves, and although it may be viewed by many that such restriction is unfortunate and perhaps even damaging to the efforts of those desiring unification, yet as in all such cases where events may be viewed to be unfortunate or even tragic, this is true only within the bounds of the illusion\index{illusion} that you now operate within.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3242:25:\heart: The true work of each is being done on much deeper levels and individuals that on a conscious, intentional level are most adamant about maintaining restrictions and divisions may on deeper levels be doing much more work toward true unification than those who, on a conscious, intentional level appear to be most open-minded and accepting. Therefore, we would remind each again not to attempt to judge any entity on the basis of what it sees, for you have no way of knowing what true processes are involved and the responsibility you are left with is simply to offer love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} to each entity as the Creator. Such efforts indeed are, we feel, the most beneficial\index{beneficial} if an entity wishes to progress\index{progress} towards unity of all. The love and acceptance offered from one entity to another on an individual basis is the cornerstone for such work on a global basis and is a vital necessity to any such unification process, or if unification of religion\index{religion} were attained structurally and openly, and yet love and acceptance were not offered on an individual basis, where is the true progress?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3296:15:\heart: Self-knowledge can also be called self-acceptance. Self-acceptance can also be called self-forgiveness. Self-forgiveness can also be called self-redemption. Within you lies all these things. Not because you are a wise\index{wise} and powerful being, but because the self is one with the Creator. Would you suggest to the Creator that It may be having a bad day? Would you berate the Creator for having roses grow from gravel? It is not likely that one who is not hit by outward catastrophe would find reasons to blame the Creator for that which is occurring to one. Thusly, as the realization begins to dawn through immediate experience that the Creator is truly within, that all lore and love\index{love} flow through rather than from the self, the entity who wishes to channel is more and more able to invest in that tenuous quality called faith or trust.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3313:32: Continue in this manner until all deviations from your ideal have been considered, meditated upon and balanced with their opposite. This means of balancing is most effective when carried out, as we have said previously, upon a daily basis. This means of balancing is, in effect, a speeding up of the normal process which occurs in each life pattern, for if you will look in that which you call your past of this life and note those experiences that were of difficulty in whatever manner, you may with the perspective of the present moment see that within yourself there is more acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self at that time than there was acceptance of the self while the experience was occurring. Time and experiences within time tend\index{tend} to seat themselves in such a manner that the emotional charge one gives to a situation begins to dissipate and it is easier to forgive and accept the self for that which has passed than it is to forgive and accept the self for that which is currently being experienced as a distortion within the life pattern.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3376:38:\heart: You are human, and you are not expected to be perfect. While in a human form in this incarnation, there are emotions. To want to get rid of the emotional body is a non-acceptance of the self, because the emotional body is an essential part of the incarnate self. So what you are being given here is another opportunity to look at the emotional body and embrace it, not to hate\index{hate} that aspect of yourself. Each of you needs to purify yourself into that spiritual body and to move further along the spiritual path that you are on; and that’s easy when you are not in an incarnation. The incarnation offers the opportunity to practice when such embracing is more challenging. Do you look at the physical body and say, “This is gross and I don’t want it,” or do you attempt to love\index{love} it? And it’s much harder to learn\index{learn} to love the emotional part of the body complex.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3394:56: Carla, put quite simply, you have a tendency to want to solve others’ problems for them; and this is one of the things you find most difficult, because you know that is not something you can do. Can you begin to relate to the source of that need to solve others’ problems, to take away another’s pain\index{pain}? Can you begin to make yourself so comfortable with your own pain\index{pain}, and here I don’t mean physical pain, but with the pain of your own existence, that you no longer need to take away their pain? Can you see the lesson in this for you—that as you find a deeper acceptance\index{acceptance} for yourself, your response to others will become increasingly skillful; and that instead of needing to change things you will help them to find a deeper acceptance for themselves?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3424:7:\heart: Especially when outward circumstances seem murky and turgid with heavy cares, the seeker\index{seeker} will find those cares lifted so easily away simply by remembering to reach out the hand to the friendship\index{friendship} of the sanctified Christ\index{christ}. Now that sanctified presence is truly within each seeker, as is all the universe. You are the creator of your particular creation, and co-Creator with infinite\index{infinite} Intelligence of that which is experienced and how it is experienced. Although you cannot be another’s creation, you cannot help but be the creator of your own. So, in making the choices\index{choices} from moment to moment, do not let your heart\index{heart} flag or falter because you are alone; for there is companionship\index{companionship} more real than the manifested forms of your density, ever waiting for your simple recognition and acceptance\index{acceptance}. How loved all entities are! Yet without the intention to reach out in trust for that love\index{love}, an entity may walk forever in a fog of self-created solitude.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3430:13:\heart: The second mind is often called the heart\index{heart}. In the open heart is stored the true mind which begets wisdom\index{wisdom} and compassion\index{compassion}, which is as infinite\index{infinite} and effortless as the love\index{love} of an open heart. Many things, however, occur during an incarnation which may tend\index{tend} to cause an entity to erect defensive barriers in order that this precious heart may not be wounded\index{wounded} more than it already is. Thusly, in order to open the second heart—the heart of wisdom—one must first gaze at the erected barriers in acceptance\index{acceptance} and love for the self that needed those barriers, allowing them to remain until they are no longer needed. Then the heart may open, and wisdom may be fearlessly received and equally fearlessly manifested forth.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3599:52: Then there is that perfectionism that comes from the voice of fear\index{fear}. This doesn’t hold an image up as our ideal, but rather, it is a derogatory voice. It speaks of non-acceptance. It speaks of the history of the being, both in that incarnation and in other incarnations where so many times there has been defeat, so many times there has been non-acceptance by the self and by perceived other selves.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3601:54:\heart: This is not true just of perfectionism, but of any quality in your life. A desire\index{desire} to serve comes to mind here. We have spoken of the concept in the past few days that this desire\index{desire} can come from a voice of love\index{love} or a voice of fear\index{fear}. It is the voice of fear that distorts the ability and fragments the self, and further enhances the sense of helplessness and limitedness. It is the voice of love that opens the self, that inspires, leading the being to be all it can be and touching the deep sense of acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} when that human can do no more because it is human.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3632:14: The voices of childhood come without volition of the self; however, the internalized voices of childhood, even though forgiven and no longer valid upon the outer, manifested entity’s self, may well be internalized and become the voice that seems to the self as the voice of the self. Here we may see the ultimate separation of self from self. The self needs to be aware of its inner voices and to heal, by forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance}, those voices of the ultimate critic which gaze upon the self’s manifested works with a jaundiced eye\index{eye}, an eye for not what is right with this picture but what is wrong with this picture. This is a form of self-torture, a denigration of the self which is done quite innocently. To become mature one does need to see those things within the self which are not innocent\index{innocent} or authentic but rather judgmental and full of complex argumentation.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3640:22:\heart: Because you are human you constantly fall short of the ideal, and yet you constantly ask yourself to let go of that edge on to which you were you holding and strike out again to cross the sea of truth. It is a very courageous act, and yet you rarely give yourself notice of the courage. You perceive the fear\index{fear} that asks you to hold back and you miss the beautiful\index{beautiful} bravery and love\index{love} exhibited each time you take a new step. Does a child learn\index{learn} to walk with a parent who says, “Don’t take another step, you’ll fall!”—or with a parent who applauds each new step and picks that child up and takes away the hurt from the inevitable fall? How can you learn to pick yourselves up in this way? I believe\index{believe} this is the question Q’uo raised at the end of the preceding talk. Can you learn to cherish that self who so bravely tries again and again? Know that in this physical manifestation you cannot reach that perfection toward which the self yearns and finally come to an acceptance\index{acceptance} that reaching that perfection is not necessary. Rather, the yearning is a tool to build the strength\index{strength} and faith so that one begins to understand\index{understand} one’s inner perfection.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3645:27: The most important tool here is awareness: knowing always what is being felt; and if anger\index{anger} or greed\index{greed} are being felt, touching those, not with judgment but with an acceptance\index{acceptance} that allows the being not to need to act on those emotions. It is not the emotions themselves that are a problem. You don’t harm another by feeling greed. You harm another by taking what belongs to another.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3658:40: And how much of life may be seen by the self as the soap opera or the cartoon? This is not to denigrate the importance of the self or of service, but to allow the sense of humor to strip outer experiences of fearfulness. When one may undress the object of fear\index{fear} and see it, however allegorically, in its boxer shorts—preferably those sprinkled lavishly with hearts, frogs, or golf clubs—one then sees the vulnerability of that object of fear. It is only strong when it is dressed majestically. Thusly, in not accepting a solemn and heavy view of the present moment, one is allowing a sense of proportion, an ever-growing spaciousness of attitude. Humor is the beginning, in many ways, of full acceptance\index{acceptance} of self, which eventually very nearly silences the voice of fear within.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3661:43: I am Aaron\index{aaron}. It is a joy\index{joy} and delight to work in this way, with Q’uo and me stimulating each other through our ideas, and also with the sharings of each of your thoughts which you have sent to us. I wish\index{wish} to thank\index{thank} Q’uo especially for reminding me of the importance of humor and must stress my strong agreement with what Q’uo has said—that with humor comes the beginnings of acceptance\index{acceptance}. There is much more that could be said here; and yet in the interests of this session not becoming heavy, I would simply like to open myself to your questions rather than speaking on with my own thoughts. That is all.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3665:47:\heart: I am Aaron\index{aaron}. In serving another in this way there are two factors of key importance. One is that you can only learn\index{learn} for yourself. You can open the door for another, but you cannot push him through. To attempt to do so is a violence against that being. Thus, if you see another’s misunderstanding, you may gently and lovingly point out that misunderstanding while assuring the being that it has your full acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}, whether it accepts that misunderstanding or not. That is fully its choice. You are concerned that even to state that the misunderstanding is seen could be a violence. It depends how you phrase it. If you say, “You’re wrong. Look at this!” and reach out to shake another to make him understand\index{understand}, that’s a violence. If you simply say, “We have a different perception of this, and I see it differently. Are you willing and interested to hear how I see it?”—and if that being then says, “No,” of course that’s it; and if that being says, “Yes, how do you see it?” then you can share the way you see it, and then it is his choice to select helpful thoughts and leave the rest behind. So that is one way you may be of service.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3675:57:\heart: Allow yourself to stop being a bubble and to become the ocean. Allow yourself the luxury of being asked before speaking, and of feeling no responsibility for those who do not ask questions. The skillful help one may give the entity who does not ask questions, but is suffering, is simply to allow the overwhelming compassion\index{compassion} within and send, out of fullness of Self, that loving and healing\index{healing} energy of acceptance\index{acceptance} of that other self just as it is, with all of its self-perceived imperfections. This acceptance is as much a catalyst for another, although it is not aware of that, as is the verbal acceptance. Entities prefer verbal acceptance because they do not understand\index{understand} the depth of their own perceptive abilities. Honor this simple holding of another in compassion, acceptance and forgiveness. And honor, above all, that same attitude toward the one named self, that everlasting child within which is bound to make unskillful choices\index{choices} again and again.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3688:8: First, try to separate your discomfort at his anger\index{anger}, knowing that that is work that needs to be done not on him but on you. In short, if he needs to be angry\index{angry}, can you simple let him be angry? Can you reach that place in yourself where he feels from you only complete acceptance\index{acceptance}, that there’s not that within him that is unacceptable to you? This may help him more than anything else you can give him, because surely he already judges his own anger\index{anger}; and if he finds that unacceptable to you, it will increase the depth with which it is unacceptable to him.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3692:12:\heart: There is one more issue here that needs to be looked at. Why does a being choose to incarnate into a situation where he will feel different in any way, where he will become angry\index{angry}? Why does he choose to subject himself to those catalysts? It would seem to me that it is likely that you both have this issue of self-acceptance. Sometimes one needs the catalyst of anger\index{anger} in order to be challenged to look at one’s feelings more deeply, to uncover the love\index{love}, and to nurture\index{nurture} that.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3694:14:\heart: One who chooses to incarnate into a situation where one lives with anger\index{anger} is choosing that situation to prod oneself, one might say, to learn\index{learn} a deeper level of forgiveness and compassion\index{compassion}. Of course, one starts with the self, finding acceptance\index{acceptance} for that anger\index{anger} in the self so that one may not judge that in others, but may love\index{love} that, and all aspects of all beings. How does one love another’s anger? It is not the anger that one is loving, it is the spirit\index{spirit} of the being itself, which is pure and holy and beautiful\index{beautiful}. The being is not its anger nor its greed\index{greed} nor its fear\index{fear}. And yet you constantly create this duality\index{duality}, and so much of your work is to move beyond that.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3704:24:\heart: Always, infinity\index{infinity} is at the behest of one which chooses to remember the infinite\index{infinite} Creator and the love\index{love} the entity has experienced from this great source of love. Thusly, in healing\index{healing} the self-judgment, the parent is then able to express itself as an healed and whole entity, and is thus able to give whatever it may find possible to give out of a fullness of heart\index{heart}, a total and 360-degree acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self, knowing that the self is indeed all things, positive and negative, as is perceived within the illusion\index{illusion}. When this healing is complete, then the entity may simply sit with this anger\index{anger} from another and see it as a catalyst which has done its job already.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3705:25:\heart: There is eventually no self-perceived need to assign any quality to the other self, for that quality has clearly been seen within the self and forgiven within the self. It is in this acceptance\index{acceptance} and rest that the child may come to believe\index{believe} that it is possible to be miserable and yet to be hopeful, for the child knows well the parent and knows well the parent’s version of this same negative trait, as perceived within the illusion\index{illusion}. When the parent authentically establishes an healed awareness of self, when it is capable of saying, “Just as I am, just this much is perfect in a way I do not understand\index{understand} but perceive by faith alone,” then compassion\index{compassion} flows from that womb which is the true heart\index{heart}, which is ever pregnant with the fullness of love\index{love} and ever propagating itself in seeds of fullness out of fullness that may rain upon those about it. Thus, in finding the peace\index{peace} and acceptance of the self, one finds the acceptance of the unquiet mirror\index{mirror} offered by another self.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3710:30: What baggage creates anger\index{anger}? What is it that is picked up and held and cherished that creates the anger\index{anger} of the self? Perhaps we may suggest that anger, at base, is anger at the lack of complete acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self. Thusly, to work upon one’s own anger, it is well to perceive the benefits of not striving to become anything, not trying to advance, but simply trying to allow an awareness of the full nature of the self, to be held in the gentle\index{gentle} arms of that nurturing portion of the self. Once one’s own inner child, which is often angry\index{angry} because of lack of control, has been clearly perceived, then the attempts of a young soul—that is, young within this incarnation—to control the environment in order to make the self heard or in some way more secure can be accepted\index{accepted} as the spiritual process it truly is.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3725:45: I am not implying that your learning must be painful. Pain\index{pain} doesn’t teach you anything. Pain\index{pain} is, if Carla will excuse a bad pun, a pain in the neck. But pain screams, “Pay attention!” and paying attention teaches you. When you can learn\index{learn} to pay attention without pain, you will need far less pain to learn. When you can pay attention to the ways in which you feel separate and move past that wall of pain and anger\index{anger} that enhances the sense of separation, finding acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness for all of that in yourself which has created the illusion\index{illusion} of separation, then you will no longer need that illusion.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3726:46:\heart: There is one further thing I would say here. So often you seem to hear two voices within you. One, that comes from the heart\index{heart}, is a voice of love\index{love}, and one, that we would call the voice of the brain or of reason, is often a voice of fear\index{fear}. You have one voice within you that asks you to trust yourself and trust others, to allow yourself to open, to cherish that beautiful\index{beautiful} self within as a bud, bringing it into the sunlight of your love. And then there is the voice of fear, and it says, “Well I have work to do on myself. Maybe I’m not ready for a relationship\index{relationship}.” Do you see the excuses there? Can you see the avoidance? There is always work to do on oneself, no matter how evolved you become. You are never complete but always in progress\index{progress}. Do you wait for perfection? Can you begin to see that it is the voice of fear that suggests that you wait and to ask yourself with some compassion\index{compassion}, “What am I afraid of? What is this fear?”—not to track it down analytically as it grows out of this or that event of childhood, but to begin to see all the anger\index{anger} and lack of self-acceptance behind it and to relate to that with love and compassion?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3734:54: We would conclude with a comment about emotion. Entities over-value the intellect because it seems to the intellect that one has only the intellect with which to analyze situations. In the strict sense of analysis and linear thinking, this is so. Yet by depending upon that analytical ability, the attention is drawn from the true intelligence of the self, the true seat of wisdom\index{wisdom}, which is the mercy seat of purified emotion. It is not your lack of self-acceptance, it is a lack of self-acceptance, a quality which you now dip into and experience and use. It is not personal to you. It is an emotion felt by you and (by( many. In emotion one is never alone, for the emotions run like the underground waterways which bubble up in clear springs at their own time and season. One who wishes to dig a well to tap this underground or subconscious source of the water\index{water} of spiritual refinement needs to go gently, to go deep carefully, so that one rather woos or courts the earth\index{earth} away which lies between it and the water of purified emotion, which is a portion of the deep wisdom of the self. Honor each emotion. Look at it as you would gaze at a gem, at a crystal. You may see it as imperfect, but it is your truth. As you turn that crystal, flawed as it is, you may see that though it refracts light unevenly, yet the refraction is full of beauty and color. Thusly, in honoring the emotions for the wisdom that they truly convey, one is able to bear the pain\index{pain} of self-revelation, which is the essence of conscious entrance into a safe and gentle\index{gentle} refining fire\index{fire}, a fire that does not burn away that which you still need.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3749:69: Q’uo spoke earlier of happiness. As it comes and goes there is a much deeper level that one can reach than happiness. What is happiness? It’s not something that comes from sunshine on a picnic or freedom from a blister on a hike. It comes from a place within that knows that whatever happens is okay. I would suggest the term equanimity\index{equanimity} here—a deep space of acceptance\index{acceptance} where one lets go of the need to control, where there is neither aversion to what is nor a grasping for what is not. This does not mean that one does not give energy to try to make things better\index{better}. But there is a difference between preferring that something be a certain way and working toward that preference, and needing it to be that way. When you need it to be that way then you create suffering for yourselves, seeing suffering, then, as resistance to what is, even to the point of hating what is.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3776:6:\heart: You realize we must speak in some terms of overgeneraliztion as each relationship\index{relationship} is most individualistic and specific and there are indeed many mothers and fathers who are perceived by their children\index{children} to be adequate and loving nurturers however there are many who may, while attempting from their own perspective, to be as loving and nurturing as they know how, they yet, in the non-acceptance of the child entity in various matters which may be more or less perceived by them to be so, instill the child entity with the voice of criticism of which you spoke and indeed there are those mothers and fathers who do not find it in themselves to be nurturing and loving and find that all they have to offer is this voice of criticism.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3779:9:\heart: If each entity were born\index{born} into a family where the only thing experienced was total love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, the experience of the entity would be similar to those entities who incarnated before the advent of the veil between the conscious and unconscious minds or before the availability of the choice between the positive and the negative paths, the result being that with no stimulus which is perceived as negative, very little growth takes place. Thusly, for one who incarnates for the purposes of learning the lessons of love, the perceived absence of love is essential in order that such learning may take place.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3780:10:\heart: If the perception of love\index{love} may be felt as total acceptance\index{acceptance}, then the perception of the absence of love may be felt by non-acceptance, which is manifested in the criticism of which you spoke.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3781:11:\heart: The degree then, to which this criticism is perceived by the child entity from the parents may be seen as correlative to the lessons each entity wish\index{wish} to set up for itself, beginning with the infancy and early childhood. This relationship\index{relationship} is by no means the only situation by which entities may learn\index{learn} these lessons of love\index{love}, throughout the life, many other relationships and situations will be encountered in which again the non-acceptance or the criticism is experienced however, most entities will choose to set up these lessons early in the life pattern so that the patterns have got an attitude having been established at a very early age, have the opportunity to grow throughout the incarnation and interact with other situations that may be perceived similarly thus affording the entity multiplied, shall we say, opportunities for learning these lessons.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3782:12:\heart: The learning of the lessons, of these lessons, as always with the lesson of love\index{love} focuses again and again on the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self and the other selves in the light\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3784:14: Thus the concepts of acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness are those with which you are familiar.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3787:17: We realize that it is a difficult process to proceed with a certain course of action in learning lessons and dealing with the self and at the same time not to judge ones progress\index{progress}. Yet this is what is necessary for the seeker\index{seeker}, toward that end, we would encourage each in attempting to learn\index{learn} the acceptance\index{acceptance}. To focus on the present moment and not to attempt to swallow the entire life in a single bite, shall we say.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3806:11: Until you have settled upon that much it is well to ponder the self itself. For it is your self, your consciousness, that which is in the end in union with all that is, that will be the vehicle which is able to aid the planetary consciousness. All of the tools of the intellect are just that, tools which may be respected and used but only in ways which do not create fear\index{fear}. May we say that fear is indeed a denial of the oneness of consciousness and an acceptance\index{acceptance} of the illusion\index{illusion}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3808:13: It may be seen that in one way you express unity, or that which is. In the way of separation you may see the acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which is not, the illusion\index{illusion} that there is anything separate from anything whatsoever. There is in fact no separation at all. And as you rest back into this awareness you find no room or place for fear\index{fear}. It has never been a welcome visitor. We encourage you to bid it leave you when it wishes, not fearing fear, not judging fear, but simply saying, “This is fear. I know that voice.” This allows you to become more and more skillful at making choices\index{choices} seemingly large and seemingly small. The greatest choices that you have to make are simply the choices of how you wish\index{wish} to be and this is indeed the heart\index{heart} of our simple message to you this day. No matter how you wish to be a midwife, no matter in what way you wish to assist the birth\index{birth} of a new vibratory rate of consciousness, the work that needs to be done is work within the self, for it is in your being, and not in those things that you do, that by far the majority of your service lies.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3830:5: Each of you knows a good deal about the transparency of third density\index{third density} illusion\index{illusion}. To the various reflections, illuminations, and resources of the deep mind. Of the help available to and through the deep mind and of the continuing urgent necessity of being self-forgiven and self-accepting, being able to gaze, not only on all the world, in forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance} but upon the self. Because each of you has found this incarnational experience challenging, the aforementioned resources have been used to a great extent and we may simply go forward from there.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3842:17: We would say just one more introductory thing before we open to questions. The cooperation or lack of cooperation with an illness that is manifesting within the body is always a concern for those who wish\index{wish} to liven an impeccable life. We are able to say that at the point at which all speak to us this evening with their hopes and thoughts it is an acceptable and appropriate time to gaze at a cooperation with a destiny which you came to fulfill. Where is there fear\index{fear}? Examine that fear. Is there fear of loss? Move into your heart\index{heart} and sense what lies beyond fear and loss. Is there fear that one is not doing all that one could to work for health\index{health}? Move into your heart. Touch that self and discover true weariness, true acceptance\index{acceptance}, and a readiness to be a consolation that is unspoken. This is not resignation. This is not giving up. This is not choosing death\index{death} over life. This is choosing a present moment and determining that insofar as each is able, each shall appreciate, explore and care about the present moments that are the link betwixt the illusory bodies that your spirits now use and the eternity\index{eternity} to which your spirits belong\index{belong}. Oh, how you yearn for the light of home, for the rest of eternity, for the peace\index{peace} of infinity\index{infinity}, for the simple joy\index{joy} of living in truth when all about you in this incarnational experience is illusion\index{illusion} upon illusion, all of it telling lie after lie after lie.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3866:41: However, the attitude in which any attitude—we correct this instrument—in which any action is taken, is that attitude of acceptance\index{acceptance} and that placement of the attention within the moment that is before one, allowing that moment and its own urgencies to direct the feet upon the path rather than placing the feet according to a future or past determination or approximation.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3927:27: I have sort of a general one. I may have more specific formulations although I know that you can only answer generally. With regard to the situation with my parents and my brother, both that I experienced in greater depth just this weekend, I am beginning to be able to feel greater compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} for my parents, where they are. At this point, I’m not able to feel that much for my brother and not feeling it a whole lot for my parents either. I know that this is a long process and there are things I am aware of that will aid that process.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:3928:28: My question is are there any general comments you can make or suggestions that you feel that would be helpful in being able to extend greater compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} at this time?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4123:1: We are aware that you wish\index{wish} us to speak upon the signs of the times. We would preface this response by two things. Firstly, we ask each to remember that we are not all-wise or all-knowing and are perfectly capable of error. We ask each to listen with discrimination\index{discrimination} and to allow no authority but the authority of one’s own response of recognition to be the way of acceptance\index{acceptance} of any of our thoughts which we share. Secondly, although we shall speak to some extent upon the specific question which has been brought forward, the particular information which is sought within the strict confines of that query are relatively unimportant, and it is in looking beyond the measurable and noticeable phenomena of the mundane illusion\index{illusion} that one may begin to take a more spacious point of view. Thusly, as we answer this question, we shall attempt to be clear. But that which we speak of, which may seem an extrapolation beyond the information required, is given because of our feeling that these extrapolations are in the end more helpful than information having to do with phenomena.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4327:25: The eventual priority of compassion\index{compassion} over intellectual acceptance\index{acceptance} is a key process, for many choices\index{choices} are made instinctively. When you open the heart\index{heart}, when you clear the communication energies and when you can rest in the work in consciousness which simply requires one to gaze without judgment at the self, you have achieved a configuration which will greatly accelerate both your process of spiritual evolution, and your effectiveness as a being of light and an agent of the Creator to those whose lives you touch. Most of what entities see of the Creator is seen in your faces and in your outstretched hands and in the compassion with which you listen and communicate with entities about those things which trouble\index{trouble} them. The simple listening with an open heart is in...\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4360:8: The general run of seekers contains little enough acceptance\index{acceptance} of servanthood that the usual encouragement is towards surrender\index{surrender}. The will of the Father—if we may call a co-created will of self and the All Self that—is instantly manifest, not when the query is asked, but when the time and place of service is matured. The greatest portion of the Creator’s will is so interpenetrated by that which is unattached to space or time that it is in the present moment that the opportunity for service arises and is placed upon the heart\index{heart} of the Hierophant.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4387:18: As an actor expresses its lines again and again in front of your theater audiences the actor begins to become more and more aware of the true nature of that character or person which the actor wishes to portray. So that after repeating the same two hours or three of lines said, movements made, and emotions expressed, the wholeness of this mentally and emotionally crafted persona becomes more and more nearly complete. Cast yourself therefore as an actor. You do not need to change the play, to alter the script. You need simply to be as faithful to the character you perceive as yourself as possible. This acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self, although it may begin intellectually, begins to open the doors into that portion of the subconscious mind that may aid you in dealing in a joyful and peaceful manner with the many things which within your illusion\index{illusion} seem to be challenging, difficult or even despairing.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4490:9: However, if anger\index{anger} or other such disquieting emotions is the subject of discomfort at the time then we may suggest that meditations on the true nature of each, that is, the unity beyond the illusion\index{illusion}, may be helpful in both the understanding and the dissolving of the same. The dissolving not being a process of elimination or eradication but of absorption and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the existence within the self and the other self and the acknowledgement that there is a place for this within the self that does not of necessity bring harm. It is the concentration of such matter that may be used in what is perceived to be a harmful manner.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4493:12: For the positive entity we would suggest that the deliberate and intentional use of such anger\index{anger} would be most probably realized by the positive entity to be not of a helpful nature and therefore would not be likely to be chosen as a manner of expression but more likely would occur as a spontaneous expression of that which is felt within the self in an overwhelming manner. We would suggest that the most likely cause of such a concentration and eruption of this substance, shall we say, would be the lack of awareness of its existence within the self in its more quiet and nontoxic form, shall we say, and that a greater awareness and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the existence of this emotion in its more natural and absorbed, shall we say, state would be most helpful in the work of the seeker\index{seeker} that has concern about the possibility of the uncontrolled expression of such.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4494:13: The question of control is another issue altogether and quite separate from the process of anger\index{anger} or other emotions. We are aware that control is one of the primary tools of the negative path. Yet to the positive seeker\index{seeker} chaos is surely not the desired\index{desired} state. Therefore this is an issue also that will certainly be investigated by any who delve deep enough into the self. We would suggest that the issue for the positive seeker is not so much one of control but one of choice. That choice is only possible when there is awareness and that therefore the path to the availability of choices\index{choices} lies once again through the ever-deepening knowledge\index{knowledge} of the self and the subsequent awareness and acceptance\index{acceptance} of what is found in the self.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4496:15: You ask also about a process of cooling what damage may be caused when such an eruption may occur. The healing\index{healing} of each entity is again another subject which may be plumbed in depth and we shall comment but briefly at this time. Each entity serves as catalyst for the other and the process of knowing itself. When entities, especially those such as are in this group\index{group} which are embarked upon the conscious efforts of knowing the self, act as catalyst upon each other the results are never, shall we say, completely unasked for. That is to say, the entity receiving the catalyst is aware of the need for such although this may not be a conscious awareness and is thus given the opportunity for greater knowledge\index{knowledge} of and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self. This is not to attempt to foster any sense of irresponsibility but we feel no danger with that with those of this group for each here is most conscientious about such matters.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4498:17: The popular, shall we say, concept of healing\index{healing} seems to imply a reversal of whatever action has taken place so that the effect is as if it never happened. We would suggest to you that the true nature of healing is rather the process of absorption, acceptance\index{acceptance} and ingestion, shall we say, into the self of whatever concept is being offered. This dissolution and acceptance into the self then is the nature of the process of healing rather than the eradication of the perceived harm. We realize this concept is somewhat at variance with those concepts commonly held within your society\index{society} and would suggest that each look within the self for the verification of such, as always.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4665:51: For all the work that you do in your life pattern is that which adds to the beauty and the fragrance that is yours as a flower\index{flower} in this field. The work itself is not that which is of importance, though you are aware that many have expressed gratitude\index{gratitude} at the work which you have accomplished. However, it is not the work that is important, it is the enhancing of your own beingness as you seek to serve that is important. Your work in this illusion\index{illusion} is a means toward that end and we commend each for the great dedication and sincerity with which service to other selves and to the Creator is attempted. We suggest that you appreciate yourself. The acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self is that which builds the firmest foundation for any other service that may be offered.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4744:7:\heart: I am Hatonn\index{hatonn}, and I am now with this instrument. I greet you once again in the love\index{love} and in the light. Within your illusion\index{illusion} one who stands out from the crowd is often isolated, scorned, ignored, but each is unique, each has their own rate of growth, each has the choice. As you progress\index{progress} you will find that times you will be alone in the crowd for as you grow and gain knowledge\index{knowledge}, become more aware that which you’ve learned (inaudible(, you shall find that you will be more intent with your particular place upon the planet. Each works upon oneself, each self between. As you become more aware, you begin to see that though they are experiencing difficulties in relating to others on the planet that they also become closer for they will begin to see that which makes them, and others, one in the love and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Though you will experience difficulties, they will be but lessons in the acceptance\index{acceptance} of others, but mainly, acceptance of self. The light is ever within, without, it is all things and it will shine, it will glow. As one becomes more aware of its presence, the knowledge that you gain, increasingly guided (inaudible( feels more and more comfortable within your being.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4882:32:\heart: I am Q’uo. We believe\index{believe} that this is so, my sister. As one entity finds the center of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, then this energy of love and acceptance is radiated to the other entity and the possibility of calming the storm is increased.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:4985:31:\heart: I believe\index{believe} the important thing here is to become aware each time that “I need to” arises, that there is a sense of unworthiness behind it, a sense of fear\index{fear}. The first step, then, is mindfulness, deep awareness, each time that sense of fear arises. The second step is acceptance\index{acceptance} of this human who sometimes feels fear; just a smile\index{smile} and a, “Here is fear again. Come in fear, I have been expecting you.” Give yourself a hug and return to the act of loving, of worship\index{worship} of God\index{god}, of extending your loving energy in whatever ways you can, not just to others but to yourself. With the acceptance of that small arising of fear, it will not grow into distortion.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5015:61:\heart: Now, I know those are inspiring words, but the reality is that it is much harder to do it than to speak of it. Each time that you fall into that trap\index{trap} of mistaking service for a specific kind of doing and see yourselves attached to that doing, might I suggest that instead of looking critically at this human who has made that unskillful choice, you find acceptance\index{acceptance} for that human. What is behind that grasping at service in this specific way or that specific way? Can you begin to see the layer of fear\index{fear} under there? And as you allow loving self-acceptance to replace that fear, then you become love\index{love} again and you become service, service to all beings.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5038:84:\heart: So, just watch it, holding no judgment about it. There is nothing bad in making that move. As you bring increasing awareness to it, you find freedom from reactivity to it—simply noticing, moving back to “I should,” moving back to separation and coming back to allow the heart\index{heart} to open again through loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} for this being who moved momentarily into fear\index{fear}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5040:86:\heart: (footnote start(Holy Bible\index{bible}, Exodus 3:14.(footnote end((footnote start(JHVH, Jahweh or Jehovah is a name of mystery supposedly given to Moses on Mt.

This body interpenetrates the physical body during our lifetime. The Chinese call this body the electrical body. Acupuncture is based on working with this body.

Fear becomes a catalyst for compassion\index{compassion}. Hatred and the fear behind hatred can be clearly seen for what they are: not as an intrinsic part of you, but as a reaction due to certain conditions that have arisen and led to that fear. And the knowing that there is fear within you, in itself, becomes a path to clarify your energy so that your response to this being that is feeling fear, to this aspect of yourself, becomes even more loving, more clear and pure than it was before.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5092:49: Go higher! This is work best done when one is, as this instrument would say and as we trust you soon shall be, “full of beans,” and not for those days when, like the cloudy, pearly skies, you feel muted and reflective. However, this technique makes a welcome and energizing change to the endless repetitions of analysis, understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance} of experience. It is a leap of blind, pure faith from immediate experience to immediate acceptance. Only choose this option when it is honestly within your abilities.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5098:55:\heart: And each moment of attention to the arising of fear\index{fear} in you brings you closer to the purity of non-judgmental acceptance\index{acceptance} of everything within the experience of mind and body, not mine or yours, but all of ours.

This vehicle is that which is associated with the fourth energy center or chakra, that having to do with the heart\index{heart}, so that the primary influence of this body and its experience is that of learning the lessons of love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion}, mercy, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance} so that entities will have a greater opportunity to see the Creator in the creation about them, and to see and express that Creator within the self as well.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5288:54:\heart: All experience within your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} has the purpose of teaching some facet of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}. As entities move through various experiences there are those challenges or testings that further teach those areas that have previously been lacking in their balance or refinement. The more difficult the challenge or test, the greater the possibility for learning love and acceptance. The traumatic conditions, such as that of your warfare, offer great immediate opportunity for entities to see the possibilities of love and service to others\index{service to others}, such as when a soldier would jump upon that which you call the grenade to save the life of a friend. This is the greatest service.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5341:34:\heart: I am Q’uo, and we feel the concern and the dedication for your journey that you have expressed, and would comment by suggesting that when it is felt within one’s being that there is the opportunity to progress\index{progress} upon the path and to become a new being in seeking and in service, that one be especially vigilant for the opportunities to serve and to see the Creator about one in those areas in which one may not commonly look or expect to see the Creator. This is to say, that in all transformations—or as they are often called amongst your peoples, in all initiations—there is the testing, the opportunity to express the quality of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} that are yours to express. These opportunities oftentimes present themselves in situations which are commonly viewed as difficult, confusing and disharmonious.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5356:4:\heart: Very well, if we have been able to encourage feelings of acceptance\index{acceptance} and respect\index{respect} and love\index{love} for the gallant body, then it is time to move on to the seeking of that within which seems archetypically female. Within each culture the male and female dance a somewhat different courting dance, play somewhat differing roles. It is not well to generalize, and we hope\index{hope} to be accurate, but insofar as one can be general, the male feels that it has chosen a female. The female waits for the choosing. When one applies this to the seeking of the intuitive wisdom\index{wisdom} of the subconscious one may focus upon the male portion which chooses to reach for the chosen one, the pearl among all other and less entities, the very most nearly perfect of all possible choices\index{choices}. It is with this lover’s delight in the right choice that the conscious mind reaches for the lovely, gentle\index{gentle} and very powerful subconscious.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5442:16: Entities who fear\index{fear} the divisiveness within the self will also fear the divisiveness within societies, and will choose to adhere to one group\index{group} within a society\index{society} to which it can belong\index{belong} and with which it can be sure of acceptance\index{acceptance}. Then when another way of believing is offered this self, it rejects that other way for fear that it might lose its safety, its haven, its structure of faith. The faith that becomes one is the faith without structure, without an initial cause or reason which can logically be explained.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5484:16:\heart: You are a co-creator. Step back from the constellation of the self. See the constellation of your own mind. See the unimaginable number of choices\index{choices} that have brought you to this moment. And see that you will treat others as a corollary of the way you treat yourself. As you venture forth within this incarnational experience you are enjoying, see and feel the dance of interstellar space, of the constellations of the body and the marvelous structure of the mind, and realize that you enter the present moment powerful within yourself. As each fear\index{fear} is noticed, addressed, blessed, accepted\index{accepted} and eventually dropped away, for it is unneeded, there will be fewer times that the constellation that unifies as yourself finds, through fear, that it wishes to control an inappropriate way. Look always first to the discipline\index{discipline} of the self and the acceptance\index{acceptance}, blessing and forgiveness of the self, as the self is imperfect, so it seems. Then when you gaze upon a fellow being there will not be the blinders of fear to distract the thinking or blind the eyes of judgment. As this instrument often says, free will is paramount. Let this and love\index{love} be your guides\index{guides}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5523:10:\heart: When one chooses a path one has the full spectrum from which to choose precisely because one contains all that there is. The first defense, therefore, is to visualize this negative power and fearlessly to invite it to take up a loving absorption within the very heart\index{heart}, for positive power is power balanced by knowledge\index{knowledge} of the self. The decision not to attempt power over another is made when the entity grasps that there is no need to have power over others, for all of creation expresses its power in the self. All magical work, therefore, is done upon the self. There is no need to manipulate, teach, control, move or advise other entities. The need is only to do these things within the self, disciplining\index{disciplining} the self to a more and more balanced and clear acceptance\index{acceptance} of the universal nature of selfhood, and therefore choosing lucidly and clearly to serve others, to withhold judgment of or control over others, and to practice loving the self, accepting the self and allowing the errors perceived within the self to be self-forgiven.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5529:16: Contrasting with this is the positive path, where power is accrued by being the weakest, (inaudible( greatness is achieved by being the servant\index{servant} of others, where advice and teaching are given only when offered. How many among your religious systems, caught up in the fervor of rightness and righteousness, judge, condemn and control many for their own good? How few there are in your belief systems of religion\index{religion} who (inaudible( doctrine and dogma and seek to serve each entity according to its requests when it can, and offering only benediction, forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance} when it cannot. Yet to those few who know themselves well enough not to judge, not to control others, but to work on the self, to these few come strength\index{strength}, magical power and illumination of incandescent light which shoots through that darkness of metaphysical field like lightning. The world, as this instrument would say, cannot see that lightning. Only each individual pilgrim upon the positive path who moves into a life in faith, a life without fear\index{fear}, may be illumined. It moves through one, it does not stay with one. And such entities are channels of joy\index{joy} and peace\index{peace}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5574:18:\heart: The first gift of the spiritual wayfarer is the time and the energy to move within, to work upon the discipline\index{discipline} of the personality, that more and more of the personality may be imbued with the indigo\index{indigo} ray of joyful accepting love\index{love} of self. Consider the usual indigo ray of the underdeveloped student as a pool. The polarity\index{polarity} of service to others\index{service to others} fills this pool, but it is simply rain falling into a conserving receptacle, a still pool within one, until it has been enlivened by the acceptance\index{acceptance} of love that is beyond the possible love when judgment remains. Until this block is removed, this pool of polarity remains still and lacking in appropriate propinquity to the...\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5576:20:\heart: ...There’s a moment when the pool of polarity\index{polarity} within is opened to what lies beyond acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self. Then it becomes a truly potent force\index{force} within the life, as though a fountain or spring came forth from that still pool, and sprayed and dropped like rain into each present moment; so that no key must be turned to start up the engine of self-acceptance which opens the door to unconditional channeling\index{channeling} of infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} through one. The key is already inserted. The work is being done within in such a way to genetically affect the energies of polarized beingness.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5705:7: Now, when one is asked to accept the self or another self there is fundamentally, precisely the same difficulty, but because of the self-consciousness so important to your learning experiences within third density\index{third density} the work done in regard to the self and in regard to the other self will differ somewhat. When working with acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self there is the push towards a complete self-honesty. This is not so difficult for the spiritual seeker\index{seeker} to accomplish. Then there is the desire\index{desire} for acceptance of and desire\index{desire} for the self. This is very difficult for all entities in third density to achieve. The ability to accept the self is hindered by the feeling that since the thoughts of the self are ever imperfect it seems reasonable not to accept the self totally but to continue to judge the self.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5734:36: Let me just sum up and have you say “Yes, you have an understanding” or “No, you don’t.” You say that it is the living of a life in faith or the attempt to live a life in faith which is continuous surrender\index{surrender} that enables one to raise the question “How can I best find honesty and acceptance\index{acceptance} in my personal interrelationships?” Would that be a fair summary of what you just said?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5751:7:\heart: It is much more difficult to look for the heart\index{heart} of the dilemma. To gaze not at the topology and chronology of the disharmony but rather to penetrate the illusion\index{illusion} to move by faith alone through the veil of forgetting. And to by faith ask for help from the world of the spiritual on the level of those things which are not seen. The workings of the heart are not seen. The self-acceptance or lack of it is not seen. The love\index{love} or hunger for love in relationships is not seen. Circumstances only are seen. There is, my friends, a reason for this. The design is to so baffle, frustrate and confuse the intellect with all the data of the senses that the student will be forced to move the center of investigatory energy from the intellectual mind, which is a creature of this illusion only, to the wisdom\index{wisdom} of the deep mind, which is vastly more informed and which resides in what you would call the heart energy center. This center is the gateway center wherein, when the lower energies have been cleared, the gate becomes opened so that you can effectively focus the heart’s wisdom upon the situation you wish\index{wish} balanced within you.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5813:12: Now that we have described the basic path as we feel it to be, we can zero in a bit upon the so-called “voices within.” Let us place them in three categories. Firstly, there are those voices within which are memories from very early times within this incarnation and sometimes having the feeling of experiences not limited to this incarnation. These voices of parents and those in the early world of incarnational time come plangently and persuasively across any number of years to tell you the first things that you heard regularly again and again. These voices may have been wise\index{wise} or unwise, or, as in most cases, a confusing mixture of acceptance\index{acceptance} and non-acceptance, of forgiveness and of punishment, of stability and abandonment, of security and insecurity. The tangle\index{tangle} of emotions wells up within those who are parents and the child remembers so well.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:5962:18:\heart: As we have said, this is subtle work. We feel it is an appropriate direction, and encourage each to contemplate what true service is. Is there truly a necessity in order to be one’s very best? To be obviously a leader among humankind? Or does it feel more likely to you that true service is involved in the surrender\index{surrender} of the self, moment by moment, to the inspiring energies of the universal self. The universal self is all of you, yet you are the universal self alone. You are holy and profane, you are as much a mystery as is the Creator. Your mystery and your service may be contained, convenient and finite, or you may choose the high road of attempting to universalize modes of perception so that you move more and more into an acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which the mind brings. Full and loving action in the face of circumstance is your path of service. Each is on that path. Sudden changes take place in such paths and the scenery changes. As long as the attention is kept upon the will of the infinite\index{infinite} One whatever service lies before you will feel most blessed. It may also feel inconvenient, uncomfortable and not at all fun.

In contrast, the consciousness which carries with it eternity\index{eternity} looks at the same catalyst, it functions as all self-conscious things do, to observe, to analyze, to figure out what is occurring. Once this has been done, the way consciousness works is to take all of this ideated material and let it sift down through the roots of the deeper mind so that at some point dreams, visions or certainties will be clear, clarifying in lucidity beyond words, not the particulars of transformation, but the feeling of surrender\index{surrender} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the catalyst which occurs.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6241:20: The quarrelsome world turns to one who is attempting a persistent devotion\index{devotion} to a life in faith and says, “You have not got the picture. You do not have a clue as to the realities of the grimy situation which you call civilization and societal interaction.” However, those who do attempt the living by faith are often more nearly entwined in acceptance\index{acceptance} with those viny, dark energies which curl about your illusion\index{illusion} than those who are so cynical and worldly-wise. You see, they attempt to regulate an unforgiven incarnation.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6356:4: Let us look at the experience narrated within your the holy work called the Bible\index{bible} of the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} the Christ\index{christ}. When this entity was upon the hard wood of the cross with arms outstretched to welcome its destiny there were two occasions when it is recorded that this entity dealt with relationships. In the first exchange a criminal which wished to turn from its behavior and find a deeper desire\index{desire} asked the teacher\index{teacher} known as Jesus to pray\index{pray} for it, and the teacher spoke without hesitation. Dying though it was, it turned in compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} and faith and said “This day thou shalt be with me in paradise.” There was no confusion\index{confusion} because the teacher was suffering, for this entity has learned hope\index{hope} and desire\index{desire} only to surrender\index{surrender} the will to the will of its Father\index{father}, as it thought of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6357:5:\heart: In the second exchange the teacher\index{teacher} viewing its own mother\index{mother} pointed with name to a beloved friend and in a brief sentence realigned relationship\index{relationship} away from accidents, shall we say, of birth\index{birth} and adjusted this relationship for a loving and compassionate opportunity for both mother and friend, as each then might comfort the other. From the sorrow\index{sorrow} of the apparent loss in both cases there may be seen to be an absence of fear\index{fear}, of self-pity, and an abundance and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the way destiny moves.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6358:6:\heart: Let us move back onto the terra firma now, and gaze at the situation of lost love\index{love}. Now the lover of the past is a memory. Were it a lesson learned, the memory would not come up to disquiet or sadden one. That it haunts one is a good indication that there is a deep and destined lesson of love to learn\index{learn}. There are three ways one might work upon this lesson. Firstly, there is the work of forgiveness. Most seekers are far more willing to forgive the other self in a relationship\index{relationship} than to forgive the self, whether the self feels that it could have changed destiny by an action or feels that it could have changed destiny by eschewing an action. The case is that often the lack of forgiveness of the self stems from the belief that things ended wrongly. May we offer our opinion that there are no true accidents or mistakes in the metaphysical life, only opportunities. Therefore, the greater part of the work of acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness is allowing the self to feel all right, that and no more, simply all right.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6362:10:\heart: It is not in any way easy to do that which we have suggested. The more intensive the desire\index{desire} has been to find love\index{love} the more intensive the experience of love, the more the yearning for love, the more it will seem very, very difficult to so center the mind viewpoint that all these acceptances and forgivenesses and reorientations may have their just process. Therefore, we urge each to see that this is the work of not one but many incarnational experiences to deepen the source within during the incarnation. In a star-crossed, shall we say, relationship\index{relationship} both entities, whatever the outcome in this experience, have been working with this balance for many incarnations. But allow the normalcy of day-to-day experience to move you until the next occasion when this haunting desire\index{desire} for a known or an unknown person or relationship looms so largely before the conscious mind that it colors all of one’s thought. Then see this occasion as the treasure it is. Let the fears fall, let the heart\index{heart} speak all it wishes until its well of words and threnaldy of pain\index{pain} is fully expressed. Honor and respect\index{respect} the deep emotions and give them full expression. Rather than feeling them as an ending of a real life experience and only a memory allow the feelings to become living. Birth\index{birth} them with your awareness of the beauty of love. You have desired\index{desired} truly, you have loved truly. This you have experienced. It may now be separated from the constraint of belonging to one entity and the self and become that potential for love and for acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} which may be universalized by being aware that this love is an energy unto itself.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6469:9: Now, in seeking the Creator we so often assume that, of course, we accept that we are children\index{children} under the one great original Creator’s care. However, in the day to day experience this seeming unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} is refused and ignored by the thoughts of doubting the goodness of a destiny which would so bombard you with difficult situations and emotions. Once you have seen this portion of your attitude come into focus, that is a simple and profound faith in the system of learning lessons in your density. Then you may choose wisely how you may approach the sense impressions which make up the daily experience. If all things are good but often unknown, then it is with eager interest\index{interest} and positive hopes that one would take up every new thing that came forward to the sinecure of attention.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6475:15:\heart: In this self-acceptance lies the compassion\index{compassion} and love\index{love} which the lesson was intended to teach. The events themselves do not teach, and one’s reactions to the events do not fully teach; but the way one deals with one’s unredeemed and lost emotions make a great difference. The attitude can be adjusted by daily, silent meditation\index{meditation}. This is a good foundation upon which to build each day. However, much of the day is spent in a far more active and less contemplative mode. Within this active mode there seems little time for the reseating of one’s consciousness into the center of a life lived in faith. However, one small word is enough to change the attitude, whether it be “Love,” or, as this instrument prays often, “Jesus\index{jesus},” or any other short expression of truth. This is enough to feed the flame of balance within.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6476:16:\heart: This, shall we say, balanced fire\index{fire} can pilot one emotionally. The fire is the fire of love\index{love}. This engine which moves the attitude is fueled by love. And this love comes into the painful emotional reactions and accepts that painful, twisted, knotted self. It also accepts just the same the times when you are not in pain\index{pain} but feel wonderful, and then the acceptance\index{acceptance} is that of the fond relative which sees the children\index{children} playing on the grass on a summer day and glows with the joy\index{joy} of it. You can be pleased with yourself, this is a good attitude. Just let yourself be equally pleased when you are having unlovable and unpretty reactions. Let your compassion\index{compassion} flow to yourself. This is the best attitude.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6587:17:\heart: When this first vision of the self as being natural in its seeming imperfection is fully seated within your mind and heart\index{heart}, then you may begin to unravel the tangled thread of compassionate clarity that has become caught and twisted by the attempts you have made to escape your nature. Yes, each of you is quite pure, innocent\index{innocent} and untouched within the deepest portion of that which is you. Now you may focus on how the relationship\index{relationship} you have with the Creator, with your Higher Self and with your incarnation can inform and guide you well towards the shining source of that thread of pure compassion\index{compassion} which you wish\index{wish} to knit up into the fabric of your lives and relationships. This is a journey from head to heart, from fear\index{fear} to love\index{love}, from meekness to an acceptance\index{acceptance} of the eternal\index{eternal} untidiness of catalyst, perception and experience.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6621:51: Before incarnation and after it, it seems only vaguely humorous that all of the emotions felt are even possible. For when the veil of illusion\index{illusion} is not in place, the differences between entities are healed with joy\index{joy}, and full travel is given to free will for each to harmonize with the other. In social\index{social} complexes such as ours, for instance, each entity within the complex is unique, and the distinctions and dynamics are infinite\index{infinite}. This is hailed as a great advantage for mutual support and interest\index{interest}, each learning from the harmonization process a bit of each other’s uniqueness; thus building a larger harmonious uniqueness; thus becoming an energy and essence fully harmonized, and becoming infinite in energy by the full acceptance\index{acceptance} and multiplication of each uniqueness. So, too, you enter incarnation ready to learn\index{learn}. It is certainly a rude shock\index{shock} to awaken within manifestation and discover that the veil of illusion is opaque and harmonies are not visible.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6928:22: Have you been in a conversation where an entity wished to impress you with one skill or another that it had accomplished? So does the energy expression of the lower chakras wish\index{wish} to hog the internal conversation and speak of those things it does well, so as to eliminate or at least greatly diminish the need to communicate or focus upon those things which, if thought about, would muddy, slow and dim the energy. To have the patience\index{patience} and the self-acceptance to move in thought each day to the examination of where the seeker\index{seeker} has been caught, where the seeker has been hurt, is a job which seems never-ending. Yet the more one is able to accept the humanity of the self enough to look in the picture of profoundly imperfect expression without blinking, the more the seeker will gain greatly. Yes, it is dirty work to affirm one’s sexuality; to accept one’s seeming lack of skill in dealing with the self and others is humbling. It seems as though one could not sink into one’s own persistent imperfections of expression without becoming so discouraged that one retires from spiritual seeking. Yet if one is able to think of this humanity, this heavy incarnational illusion\index{illusion}, as acceptable, the more one shall be able to be balanced and clear enough that the energy of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator may flow upward, circulating happily in the imperfect but balanced expressions of energy that you have as a seeker created by your work in forgiving the self, forgiving and forgiving again.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:6998:24:\heart: The verb to communicate is extremely important in this work. Allow heavy feeling to communicate, to become intelligible. Do not swat it away or cover it up. If time must pass before this acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self can take place, then that is well. But to most efficiently use the goodness of catalyst, the intensity and seeming reality of the nuances of this dark emotion need to be remembered and respected. This acts like a benediction. The suffering of self is thus forgiven by the self which respects these seemingly unacceptable feelings. This allows the energy in these feelings to resume the natural spiraling upward. Denial and resistance attempt to control and abate the suffering. Acceptance and attentiveness within the very darkness is a way to allow the self to be transformed naturally. You have often, perhaps, considered how the child is born\index{born} into incarnation in pain\index{pain}. Yet the mother\index{mother} is, in the end, totally accepting of this pain\index{pain}, for it has brought about a beloved new life.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7091:58:\heart: Now when the self is engulfed in a difficulty, the heart\index{heart} is defended by thoughts like, “Not trouble\index{trouble} again. I can’t stand it. I can’t stand me.” One cannot storm those defenses, so one uses prayer\index{prayer}, song, praise and thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving}, which, unlike the prayer of the unworthy one, are focused upon the beautiful\index{beautiful}, the more real, the more true. To say in the midst of sorrow\index{sorrow}, “Thank\index{thank} you, O beloved Father/Mother. Praise you, O One Who is all,” may seem not only dishonest but irrelevant. But we suggest that you see that this is how the voice of the heart is reached. The direction of the thoughts is changed by the purified emotion taken on faith and expressed in the song, the praise, the thanks, the prayer. Thus, passion is restored to that great seat of purified emotion, purified emotion being the essence of wisdom\index{wisdom} as opposed to knowledge\index{knowledge}. The procedure, then, is to suffer\index{suffer}; to become aware of the suffering; to pay attention by spending the coin of time; to move purposefully into the prayer, praise, thanksgiving and song, which awakens the heart; to allow this energy to pour into the heart; to allow this potentiated healing\index{healing} energy to move into the relationship\index{relationship} which is the conscious focus of the suffering, and then to allow the healing of acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness to take place.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7122:7:\heart: Now a life in faith may seem to demand the acceptance\index{acceptance} of some culturally chosen holy or worshipped individual such as the Buddha\index{buddha} or the one known as Jesus\index{jesus}. This is not so in that such ones as Buddha or Jesus the Christ\index{christ} spoke clearly to indicate that they were speaking not of themselves but of the mystery which the one known as Jesus called Father\index{father}, or more familiarly, Daddy. This Father/Mother Creator has sent each inspired and inspiring historical figure into a troubled world to bear witness to the light and the love\index{love} of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. The one known as Jesus said, “If you hear me, you hear not me but my Father who speaks through me.”\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7158:43:\heart: May you remain and abide in patient and persistent blindness, accepting and blessing each darkness, each fear\index{fear}, each sorrow\index{sorrow}, each suffering unto death\index{death}, that the work of creation may express through you the life of the self that is love\index{love}, in this moment and ever. May you through this process day by day so seat yourself in loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and faith that all is well, that Love itself may flow through you as light through the panes of the lantern, so that those about you may see this light and turn to this light within themselves. You are witnesses expressing in a world which has need of witnesses. What shall you witness? My friends, love one another and for the first time, rest. You are home.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7204:2: The great call of third density\index{third density} for objectification of forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance} and control of one’s surroundings has been answered at various points in your third-density culture’s long history by a series of those who came to forgive, redeem\index{redeem}, accept and transform. We feel none of these was truer in its Christhood than the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} the Christ\index{christ} which is the pattern or mythological structure into which each entity present was born\index{born}. Each has made widely varying use of this mythological structure, however, it is real, for example, to this instrument that because it was absolved after a confession during this Lent season, it has begun a new life and is forgiven. This, however, does not stop this instrument from the repetition of regrets, thoughts of “if only,” and desires that the past could be played again.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7209:7: This is difficult to accept. The thinker wishes the self not to be flawed, not to be relative, the seeker\index{seeker} wishes to be whole, to be absolute, and so the seeker in truth is beyond the realm of the illusion\index{illusion}. Yet each came here to pay close attention to the illusion, with all of its difficulties, and one of the points of business for each seeker in its work in consciousness is the work on achieving the healing\index{healing} of memories, the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the stream of incarnative experience as it has been experienced, and the forgiveness of the illusion and the manifested self for being flawed. The hardness of heart\index{heart} comes because there is not the instinct to move directly into the heart and open the self to the wholehearted request for forgiveness. Though the religious expression has enormous amounts to recommend it, the dependency upon religious expression to objectify the process of forgiveness to the greater Self—as an objectified and solidified other-self—numbs the inner sense of truth to the fact that this process of forgiveness is not external to the self.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7298:22:\heart: I am Q’uo, and I am aware of your query, my sister. Eventually, within your total beingness, it is necessary that you understand\index{understand} each change so that the total spectrum of your experiences will have meaning and integrity. However, at this time, as you are in a midst of such change, it is not as important that you know the specific nature of the change as it is that you prepare yourself for change by opening your attitude and your heart\index{heart} to that which is being born\index{born} within you. You welcome a new being. This kind of change is that which occurs a number of times during the seeker\index{seeker}’s life experience. The conscious seeker will be more prepared to endure the rigors of change than the entity who is as yet still seeking in an unconscious or automatic fashion. Thus, it is important at this time to simply open the self in love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of all those difficulties you face, whether they are generated from without your being or from within your being, for in truth all that you perceive you personalize in a fashion which blends perceiver and perceived.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7300:24: This child-like nature is balanced and focused by the maturing sensibility of a seeker\index{seeker}. This is the strength\index{strength} of experience, catalyst which has been processed and placed carefully within the personality as a secure building block is placed within any builded structure. However, this maturing and adult-like attitude can also be an inhibitor to further change, in that it wishes to maintain that which it has and that which it is, for it is difficult enough to accept oneself as one sees the self, and to be asked to accept that which is perhaps more unknown within the self is an added challenge, which again requires the attitude of the child, looking at all about it without fear\index{fear} and with complete acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7315:39: I am Q’uo, and I am aware of your query, my brother. As in so much that you experience in this illusion\index{illusion}, acceptance\index{acceptance} is the key in all of your growth and service. Thus, as you experience the washing about and spinning chaos that change brings to the outer self and which is perceived by the conscious mind, this conscious mind is best used which opens the self to acceptance of that which is occurring. There is little that the conscious mind can add to the deeper changes that occur within. The conscious mind can inhibit and make more difficult the seeking of change. The conscious mind is much like the entity—we give this instrument the picture of the one who surfs the great waves of your ocean upon a small board, and which places the self at the crest of the wave when it begins, and shoots for the tunnel of the breaking wave in order to continue the experience of surfing the wave. The conscious mind, as it accepts the balance necessary to remain on the board and the board within the wave, can enhance the experience by moving with it. To fight or overexert the analysis is the equivalent of shifting the weight to inappropriate position upon the board, and to risking potential capsizing, shall we say.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7335:7: Let us illustrate. One entity approaches a fence. Because the entity is inwardly looking, the entity does not mind where it goes, so it turns and walks along the fence. This is not only choiceless awareness in that there is a graceful and seamless acceptance\index{acceptance} of a change of direction to cooperate with the electromagnetic fields of wood and metal. There is another entity which is determined to go towards something on the other side of the fence. This entity is choicelessly aware of the fence and nonetheless climbs over it. Depending upon an entity’s attitude, however, it might be considered unfortunate to have the necessity of going along the fence line. It might be equally offensive to another to climb the fence. The more sharp the choice, the more precious the attitude of choiceless awareness. The more challenging the circumstance, the more useful is grace.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7340:12: You may choose that line of thinking, then, which suits you. But who chooses? Allow that thought to dissolve the intellect. Who chooses? If you choose, you are not choiceless. Yet the one who chooses, chooses most skillfully, most humanly, most full of polarity\index{polarity}, when the choice is made with the new mind of entirety and wholeness. The one known as Jesus\index{jesus} said, “I am come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.” There is in the Christ\index{christ} consciousness that choiceless acceptance\index{acceptance} of the Creator’s will. There is for each entity the same potential for being true to and complete within the personal line of destiny that accompanies the complete freedom of choice—another paradox.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7510:31:\heart: The first time I did the chelations on Carla and I had experienced this other time I felt an uncomfortable heat and I would visualize energy flowing, which at this point I’m not able to determine a pattern yet but I understand\index{understand} that that needs further working. The second time I attempted this chelation I removed myself from this attempt to find detail or find symptoms of what was occurring and I placed myself in a acceptance\index{acceptance} of what was occurring, utilizing love\index{love} as more of the energies that were flowing through me and more of the essence of myself slipping through me and what I experienced was less of the censuring but still an overall feeling that the healing\index{healing} was somewhat complete.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7511:32: I could not determine between the first and the second whether or not this new awareness and understanding without this deep searching and just channeling\index{channeling} through acceptance\index{acceptance}, whether this might have been of a higher level of channeling due to my own acceptance of what was occurring. My question, I suppose is, is the seeking and searching and attempting to learn\index{learn} while I’m doing these chelations in this instance hindering my ability which is flowing from my natural essence to Carla. I felt that I could not determine which was a better\index{better} healing\index{healing} or whether it was necessary that I determine if one was better or not. I felt good about both just because the intent was there but I was curious\index{curious} as to if you could comment on the quality of each of those healings?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7639:55: The concept of allowing the self to move along the path of evolution in a free and open manner is a concept which has meaning to an entity which works with the blue-ray energy center of the throat. Such a configuration of energy is then experienced by the seeker\index{seeker} in a manner which promotes the clear communication of the self with the self and with other selves, accepting the self and other selves, and freely expressing the self to all which surround the self. In this manner, the giving of freedom and acceptance\index{acceptance} to others springs from the giving of freedom and acceptance to the self, for you are also a mirror\index{mirror} and reflect that which is your being to those about you.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7711:127:\heart: I am Latwii\index{latwii}, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that there is no place which does not call for the type of healing\index{healing} of which you speak, for the sorrow\index{sorrow} and suffering and ignorance of the truth of unity within each is great upon your planet at this time. There are many who seek wholeness, and do not know that already they are whole. There are many who seek love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and do not know they are love, they are loved. There are many who exist within the illusion\index{illusion} and believe\index{believe} that the illusion as they perceive it is all that there is, and they call in their subconscious mind for an exit to the illusion however it can be found. And yet they are unaware that to look within the self is the exit into unity.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:7853:49:\heart: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The phrase, “Son of God\index{god},” or the phrase, “The Christed One,” are means of expressing the kind of consciousness available to those who have been able to open the green-ray energy center in sufficient degree to feel and experience this creative force\index{force} of love\index{love} that has made all that there is. This quality of consciousness or attitude of beingness is the goal or opportunity which is offered each third-density\index{third-density} entity as a means of passing from this illusion\index{illusion} to the fourth density\index{fourth density}, where the study\index{study} of this creative power of love is that which is the focus of all energy expenditure. Thus, the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} was able to offer itself as a model or pattern by which entities could move their own consciousness to a larger view in which the acceptance\index{acceptance} of self and others as one being was far more easily facilitated.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8122:31: We would, if we could, spend your time in whatever amount you allowed us. However this instrument requests that we move onward. May we say how exhilarating it is for us to be able to work in this way, to be able to use the mind’s experience of each channel as we express our thoughts. We do thank\index{thank} each, and especially the one known as M, for the acceptance\index{acceptance} of our contact, and also for the desire\index{desire} each has to become ever more carefully and aimlessly aware of our contact, allowing our thoughts to flow throughout the group\index{group}. This is indeed an advanced lesson, but we do feel that the results of such work are those which have the strong tendency to more and more balance those who function as channels in their willingness to be without need for knowledge\index{knowledge} of the portion of the information which is yet to come.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8299:30:\heart: I am Oxal. To judge the self is to place a bar against the love\index{love} of self, and if one is unable to love the self, that one is, then, it is difficult to love any other self, for the connection with each other self is unity. Thus, it is important that each seeker\index{seeker} discover that it contains not only what you may call the full array of human characteristics, both those thought of as acceptable and unacceptable, but the seeker must also discover that those portions of the self felt to be unacceptable are as acceptable as any other, for all are distortions of the one Creator set in motion that the one should know itself more fully with greater intensity and variety than would be possible should these distortions not exist. Therefore, it is to the seeker’s benefit to begin the process of self-knowledge that will eventually lead to self-acceptance.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8300:31: When the small self is accepted\index{accepted} then this acceptance\index{acceptance} may move outwards, as the ripples in a pond from a thrown stone move outward, and begin to include entities within the circle\index{circle} of friends, entities beyond the circle of friends, until all is accepted as the Self, the one great Self.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8329:3: Among your peoples, those entities which have by choice or by geographical design been left to form societies which are simple have been more successful in reaching a recommitted relationship\index{relationship} with what we could call destiny, so that the attitude toward good and seemingly bad things remains one of cooperation and acceptance\index{acceptance}. However, a great majority of people within your culture do not lead and do not have the obvious opportunity to lead, simple lives—the life small enough to be lived in one place with the small tasks not associated with the earning of your money. These tasks become luxuries, and entities choose under great pressures to do so, to have ambitions and to pursue these ambitions, whether they be within the world of material supply or intellectual advancement or spiritual seeking.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8604:40:\heart: Wisdom\index{wisdom} develops to understand\index{understand} the impermanence of all that arises. Ownership of that arising ceases. But without the love\index{love} or compassion\index{compassion} that grows out of acceptance\index{acceptance} of the human experience, such wisdom becomes sterile. Within such wisdom there can be desire\index{desire} to disassociate with the human catalyst. What you are learning, then, is to come to this meeting of the horizontal and vertical, this center of the cross, where compassion and wisdom meet.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8778:100:\heart: One of the primary learnings of third density\index{third density} is faith. Sometimes your life hands you chaos, pain\index{pain}. The first impulse\index{impulse} is to say, “What am I doing wrong?” or, “Why me?” It is very hard to have faith. I am not suggesting blind faith that takes whatever is handed you with no respect\index{respect} for yourself. This is the thinking that leads into “doormatism,” if I may coin a word. This is not just blind acceptance\index{acceptance} which disempowers. Faith, on the contrary, true faith empowers because true faith comes from that part of you which cuts through the relative dualities of good and bad, right and wrong. True faith comes from that deeply connected core of your heart\index{heart}, and it is built on past experience of faith. It is built on wisdom\index{wisdom}, on looking back at this life and seeing that what you challenged with a bewildered, “Why?” turned out to have answers, turned out to be at times your greatest teacher\index{teacher}. It is that grounded faith which grows out of connection and of love\index{love} which enables you to deal with the bewilderment and occasional deep pain\index{pain} of your life, to cut through your war\index{war} with that pain and confusion\index{confusion} and take the next step. Put as simply as I can, if life never challenged you by offering you that which was difficult, how would you strengthen these muscles of faith? How would you practice faith without the catalyst which asks that of you?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8968:73:\heart: Back to the child: It needs to be loved. That is its overriding need. So, it quickly picks up the messages, “What can I do to be loved? If I play your game, you’ll love\index{love} me?” That game varies from family to family. In the worse cases, the child must allow itself to be a recipient of real abuse, and the only way it can do that is by denying its own rage. It learns that its own rage runs contrary to its overriding need to be loved. How does it deal with that rage? If the child is right and expresses that rage, it casts itself out of the boundaries of the adult\index{adult}’s acceptance\index{acceptance}; therefore, the adult must be right.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:8969:74:\heart: Unworthiness becomes the tool by which a child suppresses the rage. It tells itself, “I deserved this abuse” because the alternative is unthinkable: “I did not deserve this abuse; therefore, this adult\index{adult} is wrong and I must contradict this adult, putting myself out of the reach of its acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.” The child simply lacks the strength\index{strength} to do that.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:9086:24:\heart: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. To some degree, we may speak, though we do not wish\index{wish} to influence your choices\index{choices} by speaking inappropriately. It is true that you have the quality of acceptance\index{acceptance} and freely given love\index{love} that provides others with a safe haven and we are aware that there are many upon your plane who serve in this capacity. As you have surmised there are those of both of your biological sexes that offer themselves in this service as a result of their seeking ...\\ ll1990s-body.tex:9123:3: So, we feel that the positive acceptance\index{acceptance} of spiritual responsibility is not only that which seems good but that which has great value. Nor would we encourage those who serve the Creator to, shall we say, slap down the rising feelings of joy\index{joy} in service. Given the amount of spiritual gifts which you have, the parable would suggest moving further, attempting more, striving to be even more full of service, using all that you have to offer, ever more of that which is the bloom and blossom of your own inner spiritual life.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:9471:13: At a deeper level, there is a true self. That true self within has its vagrant moods and there is emotional truth in hewing with fidelity to these inner moods. It is excellent practice to know what is going on within, to be as aware as possible of the deeper energies, the emotions which underlie the experiences. Without judging the self, there is great healing\index{healing} in simply acknowledging the nature of the self as it is self-perceived. The acceptance\index{acceptance} of the emotional makeup of the self is very freeing if it is wholehearted, for there is great difficulty in altering that nature if it is not first completely accepted\index{accepted}, yet the truth for which each seeker\index{seeker} yearns is that truth which cannot be accessible, not by words, not by converse, but only by the inner experiencing of things far too inimitable to be available for description.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:9690:45:\heart: I am Q’uo, and we shall continue. However, each entity must move in that fashion which brings it into closest harmony with the concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, for it is not clearly known within your illusion\index{illusion} where this point of truth resides, though each sees it with what seems to be a clear eye\index{eye}. Thus, it is not truth or wisdom\index{wisdom} which is of importance within your illusion, for they are concepts which are beyond your illusion. It is instead that which accepts the Creator in all faces and then does what it will in the face of love and with the motivation of love.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:9694:49:\heart: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Because of this confusion\index{confusion} and because of the importance of your decision in your own evolutionary journey, we must not infringe upon this choice and can only suggest that when you have prayed or meditated yourself to a point of loving acceptance\index{acceptance}, then the choice will become more apparent.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:9829:17: The battle\index{battle} is fought for the heart\index{heart} of the self and sometimes a seeker\index{seeker} may begin to think that he has more than one self within him, so full of contradictions does the wandering vagaries of selfhood seem. Thusly, to move from tolerance to celebration of others, the first challenge is to begin to perceive the self within this larger view which does not judge but rather uses energy in a positive and creative manner, in self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-(em(powerment. To keep faith, continue in hope\index{hope} and do all such good works as open before the eyes.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10223:32: As the days of your millennium grow most short, the seeking and hungering for truth has increased, activating a great process of transformative birthing. Each who seeks may now rest in the knowledge\index{knowledge} that he is no longer alone, for many awaken now to wonder\index{wonder}. And in that wondering, in that searching—first intrigued, then fascinated and finally transformed—the nascent seeker\index{seeker} of truth arises from the peaceful condition of acceptance\index{acceptance} of consensus reality, shakes the dust of sleep\index{sleep} from foot and eye\index{eye} and starts the journey, the wandering, the leaving of one home which is no longer home. Upon this dusty path lie, oh, so many marvelous and frightening events. Adventure is the companion of the wanderer\index{wanderer}. Joy\index{joy} and sorrow\index{sorrow} aplenty rest within its quiver.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10268:27:\heart: Each gaze within now. Look at the energies of what this instrument calls chakras: red\index{red}, orange\index{orange}, yellow\index{yellow}, green\index{green}, blue\index{blue}, indigo\index{indigo}, violet\index{violet}. Can you feel the difference in these energies’ balance within your being from the configuration that they were in when each arrived at this gathering? Perhaps each may see that the accepted\index{accepted} presence of each to each has been the support necessary to come into a new and more harmonized configuration of energies; not merely the higher centers, not only those gifts of heart\index{heart}, of communication and of work in consciousness, but also and equally those energies of survival, of self-to-self and of relationships one to another. Rejoice\index{rejoice}, then, in that golden net which grows daily upon your planet’s surface as those seeking to lighten the consciousness of the planet called Earth\index{earth} reach out to new entities, forming networks of networks which, in turn, may reach out to find more and more threads of this wonderful net to weave together until all of the sphere\index{sphere} upon which you enjoy\index{enjoy} life is wrapped and sheathed in an embrace of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10286:45: We are those of Q’uo, and we feel that this circle\index{circle} of experience, this moving outward and returning inward, is a cycle or circle which may be found in many, many ways, as in the circle of the seasons: the sprouting of new life in spring; its flowering and blooming in the heat of summer; the maturing and ripening and gathering of the great autumn harvest; and the time of bare trees and brown grass, the time when all life sleeps, rests and reconstitutes the vital energies by acceptance\index{acceptance} of the limitations of the darkness, the innerness, the contraction of the cold\index{cold} and the winter when all seems dead or dying.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10304:63: The more you desire\index{desire} to seek and serve, the less comfortable your life shall be. We offer no softening comfort except that it is just the acceptance\index{acceptance} of this hardship, emotionally and spiritually speaking, that finally opens the tempered soul to a joy\index{joy} and a peace\index{peace} that is not in any way happy\index{happy} but only purely joyful, so that you are companioned with joy and can truly give thanks and praise with awareness that this is the deeper ground of being, this is the truth of being. May we answer further?\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10600:5:\heart: How painful it is to see that dark side of self, yet when this is seen, should the heart\index{heart} not rejoice\index{rejoice}, for this is a portion of a perfection. That perfection is shrouded in mystery. Why it is perfection to have both the virtue and the vice is a question forever unanswered except by internalized experience. It is difficult, indeed, to accept the whole self, to love\index{love} and nurture\index{nurture} that very self none other, none better\index{better}, or wiser, or sweeter, but that self at that moment. The acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self is perhaps the most difficult, and yet the most fundamental work in consciousness one can do, and you shall do it time and time again for there is no lack of opportunity to gaze into the mirror\index{mirror} of other selves and see the criminal mind at work.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10601:6:\heart: Forgiving the self, accepting that self, in its imperfection and error as perceived by the self, is difficult precisely because the self knows what it is thinking at all times. The public speech often does not reflect the inner thoughts, yet these thoughts are, metaphysically speaking, real, valid and, as this instrument would say, “out there.” Simply because they are not spoken, much is preserved of harmony for other entities. However, within the self, there is much work to do to humble\index{humble} that self that does not want to have a dark side to the point that in all humility\index{humility} the self may say, “Dear, dear self, I do accept you and I want to nurture\index{nurture} you and love\index{love} you and comfort you.” This acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self is absolutely fundamental to work in consciousness and you shall be working on this one always, for the truth recedes infinitely directly in front of the gaze of the seeker\index{seeker}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10602:7: When the self-acceptance has been addressed for the moment, then there is a kind of housekeeping that can be done that is quite helpful in the short run, and is a good habit to get into. This uses the ability to visualize, which we find in this group\index{group} is exceptionally good, except for this instrument, therefore we shall instruct this instrument as well as the rest. We apologize for any extra time.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:10735:22: The nature of any relationship\index{relationship} is a placing in dynamic tension, shall we say, of two different points of view that have enough points of agreement in common that there is the attraction, one to the other, for the purpose of further illumination of that which is mysterious. The points of commonality, then, which form the basis of the initial attraction are the first areas to be explored in any relationship and are those areas which shall begin the process of providing catalyst as each entity moves from that which is known to that which is unknown within the self and within the relationship. As this movement continues for each entity, other areas of the self and of the relationship become available to the light of shared consciousness. As these other areas are explored and are added to the catalyst-producing process, the relationship is continually altered and there are changes in the perception of the other self for each entity, and in the relationship itself as well. As this process continues, it is the question of the strength\index{strength} of the original attraction, those areas of commonality, that will determine whether there is the continuing growth of that acceptance\index{acceptance} of common ground, shall we say, within each entity.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11075:8: Using catalyst is something the seeker\index{seeker} cannot avoid. This illusion\index{illusion} of yours is created to make evasion of catalyst impossible and full use of catalyst improbable. This illusion leans upon imperfection and forces the mind and the emotions to gaze at that which is not perfect in appearance. This false world-view is designed to be that backdrop against which the common life with its suffering may become a life incandescent with the seeker’s joyful acceptance\index{acceptance} and eagerness to pursue the processes of change.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11092:25: I am Q’uo, and we feel that you have a basic grasp of that which we have attempted to share, though we would amplify in a small way by suggesting that the feeling through your heart\index{heart} of the acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which is is another way of stating the concept of faith, which is a great enabler...\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11231:7: The computer, then, has no heart\index{heart}. The seeker\index{seeker} may well find the heart within to be more like the computer, yet as the seeker moves along its path, more and more, catalyst shall come which gives the seeker opportunities to move from head to heart. This is a necessary step: the relinquishing of knowing, the surrender\index{surrender} to unknowing, and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of truths which are felt and known in every cell instead of those truths which are learned, memorized and repeated.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11738:53:\heart: The mysterious nature of all the various kinds of lessons that aid in the overall increasing of the ability to give and receive love\index{love} have mystery as their salient feature in order that there be an effort necessary to penetrate to the essence the main foundation of each lesson. Thus, the effort that is necessary to deal with mystery involves many other kinds or qualities of being such as patience\index{patience}, perseverance, humor, joy\index{joy}, acceptance\index{acceptance} and so forth.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11959:30: I am Q’uo, and we thank\index{thank} you, my brother, for your understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance} of our obvious limitations.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11988:59:\heart: When the two who have become infatuated continue the relationship\index{relationship} and begin the processing of the catalyst which is inevitable within any life pattern, the opportunities then arise for the love\index{love} to gain in strength\index{strength} and depth and richness and purity, for there will be many, many times in the processing of catalyst that one or the other or both entities will feel less than acceptance\index{acceptance} for the other and will need to find within the self the ability to accept that which was previously not acceptable; to forgive that within self and other self that which was unforgivable; to have compassion\index{compassion} for that which held little interest\index{interest} or perhaps even dislike.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11989:60:\heart: Thus, the lessons of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} make themselves known within the relationship\index{relationship} born\index{born} of infatuation and with the faith that the relationship will endure and that meaning may be found for both within it and the will to persevere in finding that meaning and growth. Thus does each entity grow in acceptance and in love, and thus does the relationship do likewise, and thus is love strengthened by testing through catalyst that each brings to the relationship. Thus, the love which results is a love which has greater strength\index{strength} and depth and variety of experience, shall we say.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11995:66:\heart: Yes. You’ve basically covered this, so please\index{please} answer briefly, but you seemingly place more importance upon the broader definition of love\index{love} which is compassion\index{compassion}, as I understand\index{understand} that as acceptance\index{acceptance} of people and situations and self as they are, allowing them room to grow in their own way. So for an entity who is attempting to develop love as we know it, probably the most expeditious way for them to do this would be for them to work on acceptance of others and themselves, and this is—I know this is something that I believe\index{believe} I know, but a simple yes or no would suffice.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:11996:67:\heart: I am Q’uo. This is basically correct, my brother, for within your illusion\index{illusion} of seeming separateness and limitation there is much which offers the challenge to be accepted\index{accepted}, much which seems traumatic, tragic and filled with sorrow\index{sorrow}, distaste horror, anger\index{anger}, jealousy and so forth. Yet, each entity and event is the Creator, knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress\index{progress} by finding the joy\index{joy}, the love\index{love} and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship\index{relationship}, then the relationship has served as the means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance\index{acceptance}, the love and the compassion\index{compassion} for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:12013:7: Let us turn back now to the teacher\index{teacher} for a moment. Let us gaze at this structure, this place or position and the ramifications of it. What does the teacher teach? Within third density\index{third density} it is popularly and generally perceived that the teacher teaches a subject. “What do you teach?” is the response to discovering that an entity is a teacher. However, students are well aware, whether teachers are or not, that a great deal, sometimes a majority, of what a teacher brings to teaching is not on the subject that is being taught, for teachers teach first of all by who they are and how they allow entities to come within their gates of acceptance\index{acceptance}. Those whose teachings affect students most are those who allow the students to learn\index{learn} the teacher (as a being( as well as the teaching, for each is a teacher in that each presents a certain complex of vibrations to the world. And those fundamental vibrations are as clearly perceived by a student as are the words spoken. So that the teacher who has truly been called to be a teacher has a store of being that it is willing to share. This beingness, this way of living and of presenting the self is a catalyst to the student on a deeper level, shall we say, than the actual subject matter which has been discussed.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:13027:22:\heart: The continuing beyond confusion\index{confusion}, beyond distraction, beyond the difficulties, is much likened to the tempering of the metal in a tool that gives it strength\index{strength}, burnishing it that it might shine brightly and continue in its service with a renewed strength because of the difficulty, confusion\index{confusion} and so forth. Thus, as you see the difficulty in motivating yourself to complete your meditations, this in itself is likened to a meditation\index{meditation} where the focus falters and moves from the one point so that it must again be returned with patience\index{patience} and love\index{love} to that one point. As you continue to accept the difficult portions of your journey and of your practices you will find that there is an underlying strength that you build. To persevere and persevere and persevere is perhaps the most common and at times difficult portion of any seeker\index{seeker}’s journey, yet to be aware that such is occurring within your own experience is an illustration of your own dedication upon another level. Thus, we can only recommend that you continue as you are with faith, with forgiveness, with acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:13083:46: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query my brother. The phrase, "Son of God\index{god}" or the phrase, "The Christed One" are means of expressing the kind of consciousness available to those who have been able to open the green-ray energy center in sufficient degree to feel and experience this creative force\index{force} of Love\index{love} that has made all that there is. This quality of consciousness or attitude of beingness is the goal or opportunity which is offered each third-density\index{third-density} entity as a means of passing from this illusion\index{illusion} to the fourth density\index{fourth density} where the study\index{study} of; this creative power of Love is that which is the focus of all energy expenditure. Thus the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} was able to offer itself as a model or pattern by which entities could move their own consciousness to a larger view in which the acceptance\index{acceptance} of self and others as one being was far more easily facilitated.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:13578:18:\heart: This willingness to take time to listen to another is in itself a service and we encourage each to open those inward ears that hear what that consciousness is saying upon the level of depth at which the self and the other are most truly expressing, for some request those things which seem fair but which, within the self, are found to be wanting and in those situations one serves best by turning to prayer\index{prayer} to find acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:13650:27:\heart: As you have observed previously this day it is difficult to be vulnerable. When one is wishing to give love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} in place of any conflict offered to the self, one is placing oneself in a vulnerable position, for there is not the attempt made to protect. To protect is the more common or natural response from entities who are working their way towards understanding. It is not easy, as you are well aware, yet it is always possible and it is for the possibility of such a breakthrough that such efforts are made.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:13870:6: The response of the seeker\index{seeker} to its own dark side needs to be, in the beginning, an acceptance\index{acceptance} of what seems to be a less attractive portion of the self. The objects of anger\index{anger} and resentment, spiritually speaking, only seem to be other selves. Actually, you may look at each other self with whom you interact as a mirror\index{mirror} which reflects to you those things you like about yourself and those things you do not wish\index{wish} were a part of yourself, and the angrier that you are at that other entity, the more a part of yourself you are recognizing and responding to.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:13882:18: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is a situation in which one’s intuitive capacities are often called into play, for it is a most fluid situation to experience the anger\index{anger} of another, especially if one is the focus of such anger\index{anger}. We can recommend that one attempt to accept the other entity for having such anger and through this acceptance\index{acceptance} to seek communication that might clarify not only the present situation in which the anger is being expressed but which might also move more deeply into the origin of the anger within the other entity. This kind of communication is that which is most easily accomplished with those who are close friends and those who are willing to explore with you a portion of the self that is not pleasant to expose. If the entity does not wish\index{wish} to speak of the anger at the moment it is being expressed then it is well to wait until there is a time in which the entity is willing to speak upon this matter, the emotions having been drained away concerning the situation. We recommend, first and foremost, however, that acceptance is the foundation upon which all further communication and interaction may be undertaken.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14207:137: The meeting place of the upward spiraling light and the instreaming inspiration has been known within your cultures as the kundalini; and the ability of the self to become transparent to whatever distortions exist within the energy centers leads to an increased ability to experience a freely flowing upward motion so that the kundalini, in your culture’s terms, rises. This involves being friends with the various energies of the mind, body and spirit\index{spirit}; not the perfecting of those energies, but the balance of them in the acceptance\index{acceptance} of self as self without explanation or apology—that relaxed self-confidence\index{self-confidence} that this instrument would say makes one comfortable within one’s own skin.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14210:140: So it is that the distortions in the centers do not limit the rising of the upward spiraling light, but rather the relationship\index{relationship}, as you said earlier this morning—the relative harmony of the entity’s acceptance\index{acceptance} of the aspects of self.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14486:15: This is the kind of situation in which the forbearance (to refrain from( berating the self is laudable yet difficult to achieve. The ability to hold back self-criticism, the ability to see the self as whole and perfect in a situation in which the self seems to have been revealed as quite disjointed, imperfect, unable and wholly lacking in the effort necessary to achieve success\index{success} by one’s own terms. There are those times where it would be well for the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the entity if the entity would speak for the self, engage in an effort to offer the self as that source of inspiration and motivation which not only the self but perhaps another would benefit by experiencing, to put the self forward, to engage another entity in simple sharing of being, the give and take of the ordinary daily routine. And yet one holds oneself back because one does not wish\index{wish} to make such an effort. It seems perhaps to be either doomed to failure, to be too much of an effort to make, or there is something easier that one can do instead. It is a form of self-acceptance to put one’s self forward in instances such as these. And yet, as each knows, there is often a lack of the attempt to do so.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14488:17: to face the challenge as is necessary in order to find a smile\index{smile} where once there was a frown, in order to find one small measure more of acceptance\index{acceptance} where before there has been none. These steps forward may seem small when one looks at the long run of things and the picture that seems to get larger and larger with opportunity. Yet we assure you, my friends, that each of these opportunities, however small that they may seem, can become the turning point, the axis, shall we say, upon which a new world turns for you. For as one is able to develop the light touch, the sense of humor, the tolerance of the self, then can become a new beginning for each of you. By just such small measures can the fulcrum point be turned and the momentum of the life path shifted.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14489:18:\heart: So, as always, we recommend to each seeker\index{seeker} that perseverance can become one’s greatest ally when seeking tolerance and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self. Continue, my friends, for one never knows when that moment will come that will offer the turning point of the incarnation, the opening of new vistas, the filling of a heart\index{heart} that felt empty, and the movement of a point of view to a wider perspective that sees and experiences more and more compassion\index{compassion}, love\index{love} and acceptance from and for others, from and for the self, especially the self, my friends. Do not neglect to have compassion for yourself. May we assure you that each of you does indeed deserve it, and when you, yourself, are able to give it then you will find a new and risen being within your midst.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14710:8:\heart: The one known to you as Jesus\index{jesus} was reared in a climate of what this instrument calls the Old Testament, the Ten Commandments, the Law\index{law} of Orthodoxy. This teaching was tempered by much mysticism, but when this entity began to teach others it suggested that all of the law and all that the prophets had said could be replaced by loving the Creator and loving others as one loved oneself. One cannot become able to love\index{love} others unconditionally until one has forgiven the self. We encourage each to press on towards self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and that feeling that each day is a new one, each moment is a clean and untouched thing.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14919:5:\heart: We are aware that each is quite familiar with the choice of service to self\index{service to self} or service to others\index{service to others} that is the foundation choice of this particular density. In addition to this choice of service there is a component which has to do with the purity or extremity of service. We have often called this aspect of the choice polarity\index{polarity}, for something can be chosen with a wide range of urgency, a wide spectrum of intensity of desire\index{desire}. There has been the puzzlement expressed in the conversation preceding our remarks concerning how one can truly be of service. The paradox is that when one is of service to others one is automatically serving the self, for that which is offered is returned a hundredfold. It seems clear that each other person is also the self, is also the Creator, and so serving others is serving self. Further, before one can be free to serve another, one must come into relationship\index{relationship} with the self, and the process of arriving at a love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self may seem very selfish and egotistical.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:14928:14: Now, we do not suggest that you give up desiring. Indeed, we would encourage you to hone your will, to sharpen your desire\index{desire}, but let that will and that desire\index{desire} be to know the infinite\index{infinite} One. For the basic choice of one who is, shall we say, trapped in time is how to meet each moment of that time. Do you meet this moment with your heart\index{heart} open and with your spirit\index{spirit} at peace\index{peace}? If you cannot say that you do, then there is introspection, thinking, ruminating, meditating that might aid in achieving your clarity. There is a great art to nurturing that self which has so much within it but which needs the kindness\index{kindness}, the acceptance\index{acceptance}, the awareness of a supportive self.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:15636:1: You have requested that we speak upon acceptance\index{acceptance}, and that we are most pleased to do as long as it becomes and remains clear to each of you that we are not the voice of authority but your brothers and sisters, imperfect, as are you in any sense that can be rationally understood. We make mistakes. We have opinions. We share the opinions and hope\index{hope} not to share the mistakes but undoubtedly we shall make mistakes. Not all of our opinions shall be those that will aid you and so we ask, as always, that you use your discrimination\index{discrimination} and trust your guidance within to the exclusion of other voices when necessary. For we have utter faith that you shall know the truth that is for you. As long as that is understood we are delighted to talk about acceptance.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:15637:2: As we search through this instrument’s store of experiences, we find that this word of acceptance\index{acceptance} has overtones of toleration and even a grudging or somewhat difficult transaction within. The acceptance is not an easy thing sometimes, that sometimes it is difficult to accept, and we would like to remove that overtone that is implied in that bare word, for acceptance is a word that does not ring of joy\index{joy}. It does not have the freedom of feeling that we would like to talk about. Our choice of words would perhaps be faith. When this instrument was very close to death\index{death} some years ago, she put a motto above the hospital bed where she lay. It read “Faith, the final frontier.” As each of you does, she wished to find the joy of acceptance. It is well to have that kind of reminder when one is working upon a situation in which one is not yet comfortable and does not yet feel positively or affirmatively concerning the situation.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:15645:10: We do not know how to make real to you the Creator. We can suggest conversation, we can encourage silent listening, but in general we can simply say that any way that you can engage yourself in converse with intelligent infinity\index{infinity} will be helpful to you. Indeed, you are speaking with yourself. However, it is helpful to speak to the greater Self and not simply to run the small circle\index{circle} of thought that goes nowhere. When the issue is acceptance\index{acceptance} or faith, the last thing that you need is rational thought. Here is a situation in which the intellect and its logic will not be useful in most cases. Now let us look at that for a moment. The logical mind that you have working for you is extremely helpful in making choices\index{choices}. That is the nature of intellect. It discriminates, it compares, it sees options, and chooses one. Much of the incarnational routine, shall we say, of daily life needs this kind of attention, organization, good choices made that will move you through the day and through the week and so forth.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:15934:6: As you can see, depending upon the basic personality shell of the entity and the amount of enculturation that has stuck with the entity, there are varying degrees of guilt. Needless to say, those who are already oriented towards service to others\index{service to others} and who are consciously working upon spiritual evolution tend\index{tend} far more towards a ready acceptance\index{acceptance} of guilt than those whose viewpoint is less broad. Thus, the very entities who are sensitive enough to be in pain\index{pain} because of guilt receive the more substantial amounts of guilt from their catalyst. It is as though the Creator were adding insult to injury by offering more guilt to those who are already sensitive to it, who are already responding to it by increases in their level of service to others.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:16246:11: You are, as a spiritual seeker\index{seeker}, in a universe of thought, of being, of essence. It will always be frustrating to live in two worlds, but it is just that dynamic that creates the fertile field for your acceleration of spiritual evolution. Know yourself to be ever on the path and yet ever at rest. Know yourself to be ever learning, yet always knowing. Know yourself to be ever striving, yet always having arrived at precisely the place for which the strife\index{strife} exists. Knowing the self, allow the self to be the self. Release and release and again release the self from the stricture of making sense, of coming up to snuff, passing the grade. Each release, each forgiveness, each new level of acceptance\index{acceptance} will bring its own inspiration and offer its own opportunities for transformation.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:16377:36:\heart: We would recommend, as we would in many such instances, that the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of the process is the first foundation stone to lay in the attempt to serve another entity. For if one is able to see that the difficulties shared in such a relationship\index{relationship} are also offering opportunities for the opening of the heart\index{heart}, each to the other, then the proper valuing of the experience may be appreciated. When one sees that such a relationship is sacred\index{sacred} in its nature and fertile in the possibility of producing the open heart, then it is possible to see the interrelationship of the entities as that which will eventually produce the desired\index{desired} opening of the heart. As one supports each in the process one may retire periodically to the meditative state to look more deeply at that which occurs in the daily round of activities, for those experiences which, shall we say, push the various buttons, each of the other, and result in the heated words, the hurt feelings, and the overall confusion\index{confusion} as regards the entire situation, one may begin to see a pattern in the relationship where there is the possibility of progress\index{progress} as each is able to accept what previously seemed unacceptable, each is able to love\index{love} what previously (was( seen as unloveable. The process of being able to see and accept more and more of the other self as whole and perfect allows the self to do the same with the self. For in each instance it is a process of learning that occurs within each individual entity and then is offered in love and service to the other.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:16378:37: Tolerance, the light touch, the sense of humor, the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the process, all of these are ways in which you may serve an entity in such a relationship\index{relationship}.\\ ll1990s-body.tex:16473:13:\heart: Thusly, we ask that whether you burst into angry\index{angry} speech, keep silence, find communication, or simply work with the self to lighten the mood, do these things with an eye\index{eye} to keeping the faith. What is it to live by faith but to look at a situation that seems hopeless\index{hopeless} and say, “I believe\index{believe} that all is well.” May we say that in our opinion this affirmation is one of the most powerful, enabling and ennobling of all learnings, of all expression, of all spiritual manifestation. The other is forgiveness. When you are looking at that part of your universal self that you do not wish\index{wish} to see—that is, when you are having difficulty with another entity—it may not seem possible for you to forgive that entity, and, by reflection, it may not seem possible for you to forgive yourself. And may we say further it is not possible to either forgive self or other self without a release of that self and an acceptance\index{acceptance} of help, for there is help at the core of your being waiting to be accessed, waiting to be asked.

As the planetary entity moves through its process of evolution it, as do each of those entities such as yourself which live upon it, opens various doors, certain tones or themes are made available so that those entities such as yourself which are in the planet’s care are able to take advantage of these doors, these tones, these reaches of possibility that allow each entity upon the planet to harmonize its own seeking with the planetary evolution. Thus, the interrelationship of this planetary entity and those upon it is that which can be utilized to enhance one’s process of becoming aware of the nature of the self, of the creation, and the

Attune yourself to that presence within you, through the utilization of your meditations, and learn\index{learn} what it is to truly know the ability within you. Your abilities are infinite\index{infinite}. Your love\index{love} is also infinite. There are no limitations placed upon you by your Creator.

There are no situations which you, as your own personal creator would place before yourself, that you could not properly confront and overcome.\\ love-body.tex:115:6: In order to know yourself, you must serve others. You must render unto others that love\index{love} that you find within you. You must share with all around you that which you have learned in order to proceed further and further into the depths of your being. It is as though there were doors and you contain within you the key to each door. The key to one door may be service; service to a particular individual. And the key to another may be service to a group\index{group} of individuals. And the key to another may [be] the discipline\index{discipline} of willingly accepting a profession by which to acquire material needs. And the key to another may be the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the discipline of studies through your educational systems. Yet, my friends, the key, the key which is of greatest importance, the key which unlocks the door of knowledge\index{knowledge} as to what other keys to utilize, is the key which we have called many times, meditation\index{meditation}.

You have upon your planet many who do not understand\index{understand} nor wish\index{wish} to seek the law\index{law} of love, and it is indeed hard to imagine being able to love some of these people. We would name, for instance, Adolf Hitler, whom it would be difficult to see as a child of the Creator. Yet, my friends, this man is a child of the Creator and this soul, although he has a long, long journey, will in the end become a spiritualized and seeking being. Other political figures of your time, such as the entity this instrument calls the Ayatollah of Iran, seem to be totally lost in totally foolish and shameful acts. But we say to you, my friends, you must see each person as part of the Creator. It is only in doing this that you free yourself to have a right relationship\index{relationship} with each person that you meet. These are extreme examples, of course, but in your daily life you meet so many whom you could inspire because of the joy\index{joy} in your heart\index{heart} and your acceptance\index{acceptance} of them without judgment.

As always, my sister, the lesson to be learned is some aspect of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}. It may be, however, that the love to be learned may have an aspect of wisdom\index{wisdom} connected to it. That is, how best to love such an entity. It may be that to love such an entity in the most helpful way to that entity would be not the simple acceptance of every portion without comment, but the gentle\index{gentle} directing of love in a manner which would attempt some form of sharing the self as an instructive technique so that the entity might know that as you accept it, you also have responses that are somewhat disturbing that you wish\index{wish} to share so that the entity might know that it is being perceived in such and such a manner by yourself as you love to the best of your ability.\\ love-body.tex:536:40: I am Latwii\index{latwii}. We feel we have discerned your query, my sister. We do not mean to suggest by our previous statement that you reflect to such an entity that which you are receiving, for to do so would be to put yourself at the mercy of any entity of any nature which approached you. The great lesson of your density is the lesson of love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance} without condition. You spoke as to the lesson which could have been learned with this particular entity. We spoke of a refinement to the lesson of love, that being the inclusion of a portion of wisdom\index{wisdom} with that love. The way of wisdom is to speak clearly and honestly without a dedication to the outcome, only wishing to speak clearly. Therefore, it is possible to refine the lesson of love with such an entity, and we stress “refine,” which suggests that you do indeed accept such an entity fully. And this refinement may take the form of speaking in a manner which is most delicate, that is, speaking to what is perceived as a stumbling block, shall we say, that the entity may not be aware of. This is not judgment. A simple discernment instead, which offers on the, shall we say, on the outstretched hand of love the morsel of wisdom which is given in love and suggests a refinement which may be helpful to the entity. This, of course, is most helpful only when asked, and in this case we note there was no such request. Therefore it may be that such refinement would not be possible. In any case, the refinement is offered only when asked, and is freely offered with no dedication to its acceptance, no, shall we say, argument of its good points; the simple expression given and whether it be received or rejected being considered unimportant.\\ love-body.tex:537:61: Well, no that explains a lot of riddles in my life because I never worry about what’s going to happen to me when I go out because I always think that guardian angel\index{angel} is there, so in truth, that guardian angel is there! Okay, that’s fine. Thank\index{thank} you. Let me go back to this other idea and just see if I can clarify this a little bit. In the earlier conversation I said that I had my description of love\index{love}, at least the way I perceive it at this point. Love is unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} of another entity, making no demands on his behavior or what he does. And I find sometimes that this is very much like, well, indifference\index{indifference}, at least I don’t hurt him and he doesn’t hurt me, regardless of what has been said or done. Now, is that concept of unconditional acceptance and indifference, are those concepts opposite to each other or are they about the same? That’s a pretty awkward way to say it, but it’s the best way I can say it right now.\\ love-body.tex:564:49: If then you can refine further your efforts of service by seeking in your own meditative state that which might be most helpful to the entity, and share this assistance with love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the entity, the situation, and without a dedication to any particular outcome, then you will have given a gift which is most helpful in that it is given freely, with love and with concern. love-body.tex:605:25: Those treasures, my sister, as you know, are always a greater acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} of the one Creator. You may consider such a situation as a great opportunity and a great responsibility, for each act of service to the one Creator bears a price. If there are great fruits to be reaped, a great harvest, shall we say, available to the expanded point of view, then there is also the responsibility to manifest that love in the greatest possible degree. We do not say there is danger in such a situation, but there is great responsibility.\\ love-body.tex:613:52: If you will examine many of these techniques of curing that called cancer you will discover a general tendency or attitude that is contained within most of these techniques.

When an entity is able to express the love\index{love} of the Creator which it receives daily to each entity whom it meets, and is able to feel that same love within its own being for itself as well, then it is often the case that the entity sees the creation about it, and, indeed, itself through new eyes. The eyes of love, acceptance and forgiveness are the eyes which heal. That known as cancer as has been discussed by those known as Ra\index{ra}, which is a disease which is the result of an inability to forgive, is a disease which grows from the angers which have not found their balance in love. love-body.tex:646:37: The distortions of perception are each colored in a certain way so that yet another means is presented to you by which you may learn\index{learn} the lesson of love\index{love}, for as you examine each distortion each in its turn will yield the opposite response: for patience\index{patience}, you will find impatience; for anger\index{anger}, you will find acceptance\index{acceptance}; for the various kinds of distortions you will discover that when the balance is achieved, the yield of this process will be an increase in the ability to love.\\ love-body.tex:675:117: I am Latwii\index{latwii}, and am aware of your query, my sister. The ideal which each entity upon your planet strives for, whether in relationship\index{relationship} or in solitude, is the ideal of love\index{love}. This is the lesson of your particular illusion\index{illusion}, a state of being which words cannot describe, yet which includes an unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness of all. This could be called an approximation of love. As you move within your illusion and within your relationships, you will encounter that which seems unlovable, unforgivable, unacceptable. When you can love and forgive and accept each portion of each entity which you encounter, then you shall be approaching the ideal of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. love-body.tex:867:56: Pure, however, in the sense that it has not been tested; it as yet lacks the depth of experience. When the two who have become infatuated continue the relationship\index{relationship} and begin the processing of the catalyst which is inevitable within any life pattern, the opportunities then arise for the love\index{love} to gain in strength\index{strength} and depth and richness and purity, for there will be many, many times in the processing of catalyst that one or the other or both entities will feel less than acceptance\index{acceptance} of the other and will need to find within the self the ability to accept that which was previously not acceptable, to forgive that within self and other self that which was unforgivable, to have compassion\index{compassion} for that which held little interest\index{interest}, or perhaps even dislike.\\ love-body.tex:868:57: Thus, the lessons of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} make themselves known within the relationship\index{relationship} born\index{born} of infatuation and with the faith that the relationship will endure and that meaning may be found for both within it and the will to persevere in finding that meaning and growth. Thus does each entity grow in acceptance and in love and thus does the relationship do likewise and thus is love strengthened by testing true catalyst that each brings to the relationship. Thus, the love which results is a love which has greater strength\index{strength} and depth and variety of experience, shall we say.\\ love-body.tex:869:63: Yes. You basically covered this so please\index{please} answer briefly, but you seemingly place more importance upon the broader definition of love\index{love} which is compassion\index{compassion} and I understand\index{understand} that as acceptance\index{acceptance} of people, situations and self as they are and allowing them room to grow in their own way. So for an entity who is attempting to develop love as we know it then probably the most expeditious way for them to do this would be to work on acceptance of others and themselves and this is something that I believe\index{believe} I know, but could you just give a simple yes or no, if that would suffice?\\ love-body.tex:870:64: I am Q’uo. This is basically correct, my brother, for within your illusion\index{illusion} of seeming separateness and limitation there is much which offers the challenge to be accepted\index{accepted}, much which seems traumatic, tragic and filled with sorrow\index{sorrow}, distaste, horror, anger\index{anger}, jealousy and so forth. Yet, each entity and event is the Creator knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress\index{progress} by finding the joy\index{joy}, the love\index{love}, and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship\index{relationship} then the relationship has served as a means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance\index{acceptance}, the love, and the compassion\index{compassion} for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution. love-body.tex:897:9: It may be, for example, that an entity wishes to learn\index{learn} more of compassion\index{compassion}, more of acceptance\index{acceptance}, and more of forgiveness, and wishes to place these concepts more firmly within the true self, that which you may call the soul. This may be done by programming the seeming opposite attribute within the incarnation in order to provide opportunity after opportunity after opportunity, one upon the other for the self to experience the lack of love\index{love}, the lack of forgiveness, the lack of acceptance, and these are terms which describe that which you call anger\index{anger}, frustration, control and so forth.\\ love-body.tex:898:10: Thus, by finding these attributes within the incarnational pattern, one may through conscious and non-judgmental study\index{study} of the self become aware that in each release of anger\index{anger} there is the potential to accept, to love\index{love}, to show mercy, and to have patience\index{patience}. As this becomes apparent, one then notes with more and more frequency and accuracy those moments in which this lesson is being offered. And as one is able to be more aware of the root or primary cause and potential set up by the expression of anger\index{anger}, then one is able to take advantage, shall we say, of that opportunity, and in a fashion to transmute or transform the situation in which anger might normally be generated, and instead generate the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} which was the original intention and which was achieved by constructing the basic personality to respond in the manner called angry\index{angry} or frustrated. love-body.tex:909:57: Thus, the emotions are the barometer, or shall we say the temperature gauge for an entity, in that the emotions show to the entity the degree of feeling or bias that the entity has toward any thought, word or action, and by becoming aware of this biasing within the emotional self, shall we say, the entity then may take this biasing, this emotional coloration, and work with it in a fashion that attempts to balance the emotional charge so that the final product is that quality known as love\index{love} or acceptance\index{acceptance}. Thus, the emotions point to that which is in need of balance and which when worked with in an efficient manner may then yield a lack of emotion, a lack of coloration, and may finally yield that quality known as love.\\ love-body.tex:952:14: Among these, a general suggestion may be made that a certain portion of the day be set aside as a quiet moment of reflection, whether it be meditation\index{meditation}, prayer\index{prayer} or contemplation. During this quiet portion of one’s day, one may review the process of learning this general concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} that is ongoing in the life pattern. During this time, one may note those areas where added attention would be helpful. One may note those areas of success\index{success}, shall we say, and attempt then to build upon these strengths and to utilize in some fashion what has been well learned there in the areas which yet lack the proficiency of loving without stint and accepting without condition those offerings of others about one.\\ love-body.tex:975:7: Thus, in the vocal channeling\index{channeling} type of service, we feel that it is most important that each instrument feel as much acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} for its own experiences and identity as it does for those of others, for in this way we are aided in our attempt to unify those many divergent thoughts and experiences which each of your peoples gathers about it, and as you serve as an instrument in this process and are able to see the love and joy—perfection—within your own experience, and as you are able to see it as equal to any other’s experiences, then are we more able to utilize that which is yours to offer into this service by means of the transmission of thought. love-body.tex:980:29: I am Latwii\index{latwii}, and we perceive a comment upon your experience that may also benefit from a comment from our point of view, though we have not been queried specifically. We may suggest that when you have the ability to look upon those experiences that are a part of your history, shall we say, without a feeling of joy\index{joy} or sadness, you may assume that those experiences have been utilized in an efficient manner, for when there are emotional charges, shall we say, that are apparent and connected to any experience, then one may assume that there is work in that experience which one may undertake, for the emotional colorations that one feels for any thought, experience or entity are distorted perceptions that are distorted in such and such a fashion in order that an entity will be drawn into the process of balancing these perceptions so that the final product of all experience is a quiet acceptance\index{acceptance} that may in metaphysical terms be translated as unconditional love\index{unconditional love}.\\ love-body.tex:1006:20: By so experiencing these various geographical configurations, to continue, one may then, through this experience, fashion that which is truly born\index{born} of wisdom\index{wisdom} and which may eventually produce a loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of all that one experiences within the life pattern, when one is able to utilize the experiences to their fullest extent.\\ love-body.tex:1026:46: I am Q’uo, and we might suggest my brother, that not only is that assumption basically correct, but any action that is able to produce love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of another is an action more to be desired\index{desired} than one which produces less of that quality of love.\\ love-body.tex:1029:61: I am Q’uo, and this term, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, is a phrase, shall we say, which has been developed within your culture or a portion of it which describes a facet of the love\index{love} which [is] the Christ\index{christ} consciousness, shall we say. If one is able to love without condition all entities and experiences which come before the notice, one is expressing the kind of acceptance\index{acceptance} upon the deepest of inner levels that is a—we search this instrument’s mind for the proper term—hallmark of the love of the Creator which animates all creation, for the ability to love without condition or desire\index{desire} of return is the beginning of the Creator within the self to recognize itself within all other portions of the creation. For an entity of the third density\index{third density} to experience this kind of expression of love requires that the entity move in harmony with those choices\index{choices} which it has made prior to the incarnation that were made with the wider point of view easily accessible to the entity.\\ love-body.tex:1145:7: The essence of the beast lies within each heart\index{heart} and within each mind. The essence of the beast is the power of denial. Just as the essence of love\index{love} is the power of acceptance\index{acceptance}, so the essence of evil is the perfect ability to deny what is true and believe\index{believe} what is false. Thus, evil has far less to do, for instance, with money than with less-than-straightforwardness in gathering, keeping and spending money. One who is seeking the essence of the positive seeks more and more to offer the self in service. One who wishes evil may seem to offer service to others\index{service to others}, yet always there is some denial of free will, some rejection of some aspect of universal love, some implied or stated separation between you and some other. The one who looks for advantages at another’s expense is a far clearer symbol of the beast than a number.\\ love-body.tex:1164:31: I am Laitos\index{laitos}, and we might comment by suggesting the perception which you have shared is in its own way relatively accurate, although there is another way of perceiving the lack of love\index{love} for self which we would suggest at this time as a method, or portion of a method, for finding greater and greater love for, and by so loving the self becoming more and more able to love other selves about one which reflect to one the nature of self. And that perception is that the lack of love for self may be seen as a means of preparing the self for greater service. As one becomes aware of the lack of love and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self, and turns to work upon that quality, one begins to build a stronger framework of the heart\index{heart} of self, and through the strengthening of the core perceptions of and feelings for the self, so is laid a firmer foundation for services that may then be offered to others.\\ love-body.tex:1251:49: I am Quanta. You may find as you pursue the uncovering of those feelings which have long been covered that there spring up further feelings which may also require the attention that you have given to the first feelings. Thus, if any feeling has not yet found its fruit\index{fruit} of love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} for any other entity or experience, you may consider pursuing that feeling with the same technique of magnification until the feeling draws unto itself its opposite balance, and within this balance of feelings then may be birthed the compassion which equals the acceptance that each portion of the one Creator has as its birthright\index{birthright}. This technique is best accomplished, we find, within your contemplative or meditative states as the focus is much more finely tuned in this state of awareness. love-body.tex:1289:25: There is what you may call the testing, oftentimes referred to as initiation of one kind or another. The attitude that is the means by which the seeker\index{seeker} views and accepts the manifestations of the various seasons of the soul’s seeking is that which is of most importance in each testing, for if it can be discovered within the point of view of the seeker that each situation has a metaphysical implication that revolves about the concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which is, then the seeker is more able to take advantage of the more specific lessons that orbit the primary concept of love that may be found in each cycle or season. love-body.tex:1458:54: I am Q’uo. Again, our lot is the generality, for each case is unique. The offering of the self in unconditional love\index{unconditional love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the other self provides the basic environment of healing\index{healing} in which the entity experiencing the splitting or separating of portions of its personality might find helpful. The acceptance of such an entity, given in an unqualified manner, will provide the support that is needed to encourage the revealing of the primary conflict by any portion of the personality which is most vulnerable or moved or sensitive to the giving of the love\index{love}. Thus, the one experiencing the separation of personality may begin through some portion of its personality to move into an harmonious resolution with other portions of the personality. love-body.tex:1486:20: A weaver channels the beauty of the cloth. One who works with people channels a love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, a true listening ear for the entities around it. There are so many examples of the channeling\index{channeling} which all may do—the cooking, the washing, the smiling at the sun, the enjoyment of water\index{water}, all the excitement of daily life, all the little things which are like flowers in a bowl in unexpected corners of your daily life. You channel your daily life. We ask you to do it lovingly and honorably, honoring yourself and honoring that which this instrument would call the Christ\index{christ} consciousness in each and every face that you see.\\ love-body.tex:1509:36: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query my sister. As we spoke to this it is most important that one recognize the creative power and responsibility that is perfect in one’s perception, and form that perception as best as one can with the foundation firmly rooted in the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of what one sees as the Creator. With this foundation set, then, in love\index{love}, one may construct any action that the conscious mind can form, and act upon this action as the means by which the heart\index{heart} of love may be made manifest. Therefore, if any ritual or image or procedure is engaged as a means by which protection for the self might be offered, it is our suggestion that love be the motivation, for in such fashion thus one may love and do as one will.\\ love-body.tex:1539:12: Sometimes this period of confusion\index{confusion} may last an entire incarnation. Never think of yourself as failing because you have not yet been given the answer intellectually to why, for instance, the out of body experience is spontaneous. It is not important intellectually that you understand\index{understand} your gifts or your limitations. What is necessary is that you go through enough processes of acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness that you come into full acceptance of the self, a full love\index{love} of the self as a part of the Creator, and a full and single-hearted commitment of the self as an outreaching portion of the Creator through whom compassion\index{compassion} and love may shine.\\ love-body.tex:1607:33: We ask each to remember the experience of true living consciousness, and then in faith to turn to the self and bless each wound, each limitation, each pain\index{pain}, and each circumstance that causes suffering, for suffering is the sacrament, the food\index{food} of spiritual evolution. May you rejoice\index{rejoice} in your troubles even as you suffer\index{suffer}. May you roll the stone away from the tomb of your limited acceptance\index{acceptance} of damaging thoughts. May each look you take be fresh, and may you live in love\index{love}, and so love each other with a passion and a zeal that blesses each with whom you come in contact. You need say nothing. The I AM in you, that Kingdom of Heaven\index{heaven}, of which Jesus\index{jesus} the Christ\index{christ} spoke, lies deep within you, for you are all that there is. It is simply the illusion\index{illusion} which keeps you from that ultimate knowledge\index{knowledge}. By faith, in the love you have observed in whatever limited form, may you enter into that life which is love.\\ love-body.tex:1616:37: Thus, the experience of fear\index{fear} is that which needs be approached with the same loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and looking forward with eager opportunity as any gift that one may present to the self or another, for each portion of your experience is a portion of yourself which exists in order to reveal itself to you. love-body.tex:1626:22: Every action that you take is an expression from the Creator’s... for are you not... Creator? Love\index{love} in itself is perhaps more properly said that Creator is love... the expression of consciousness... some simplistic explanation... is that... many of the people on your planet, even those who express love... to others fail to accept the example of the Creator’s... each to love himself or herself... love is like a flower\index{flower} that blossoms and... heals the self and... acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self...\\ love-body.tex:1692:5: When an entity is extremely positive, as each within this circle\index{circle} is, that which may be seen by others to be unimportant or non-catalytic, upon the contrary sensitive entities which seek will certainly use this catalyst and experience painfully negative emotions. Thus, hatred is love\index{love} which has been hurt badly. Anger\index{anger} is that which comes of hatred. Beneath the hatred is what this instrument would call the orange-ray blockage. This is especially painful when the entity who is in pain\index{pain} has some difficulty in experiencing self-worth and self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-love.\\ love-body.tex:1716:26: The beginning of spiritual maturity is the acceptance\index{acceptance} at last that one is forgiven. Those who follow various of the well-known religious sets of belief use various symbols for the principle of redemption\index{redemption} or forgiveness. The one known as Jesus\index{jesus} is perhaps the best example. However, as each self is made up of that which is the Christ\index{christ} consciousness and that which is the free will consciousness, there is only to be needed a simple recollection by a very complex entity within the illusion\index{illusion}. So many, many illusions must be stripped away before one can see clearly one’s true nature and begin to wish\index{wish} to become the consciousness of love\index{love} and not the consciousness of variousness or free will. Both characteristics are part and parcel of each entity, yet those which attempt to be of service to self\index{service to self}, which are not aware of their doing so, but instead are happily ignorant\index{ignorant} of any decision that needs to be made between service to self and service to others\index{service to others}, shall not be troubled until it is their time to be troubled with such simple choices\index{choices} as face each who has awakened to his path.\\ love-body.tex:1728:11: We encourage each further, whenever the feelings are depressed, at whatever time of year, to recreate within the mind the Christmas experience of great darkness, short under-lit days of shadow\index{shadow} and bleak cold\index{cold}, and a piercing and poignant joy\index{joy} of that infant spirit\index{spirit} that against all odds, and without the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the darkness, moves into darkness as light that is not recognized. You yourselves are full of light which you do not recognize. It is not sunshine; it is not light in a physical sense. You are the carriers of precious treasure. You carry the infinity\index{infinity} of the love\index{love} and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Picture it. Symbolize it within yourselves as the Christ\index{christ} child, and give it room, encouragement and attention that it may grow each day.\\ love-body.tex:1751:31: As the entity is joined by those which have served as its teachers, its friends and its guides\index{guides}, it is at this time, as you would call it, that the entity reviews the life experience which has just been completed, in order that the essence of the experience might be assessed and it might be determined those lessons which have been well learned and those which yet remain to be learned. For each entity, before entering the incarnation, sets before itself those programs of study\index{study} which will allow it to know the Creator more fully and will allow the Creator to know Itself through the entity’s experience. Each entity has a great variety of choice as to those lessons which it wishes to pursue. Within your particular illusion\index{illusion}, each lesson revolves about the concept that you would call love\index{love} or compassion\index{compassion}, the unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} of all that is as the Creator. As the life experience is reviewed, there are those portions of the experience that point toward new lessons that are called by the experience which has been completed. For as any course of study within your system of schooling, the life experience is that which may be enhanced and refined and utilized in ever more broadening, deepening and intensifying means.\\ love-body.tex:1799:44: The task of bringing the self to the point where the components that comprise the self are seen as whole and perfect is a task which requires that the entity investigate the, shall we say, polar opposite qualities that also exist within the being that is known as the self, for as those qualities are explored that already exist within the perception of the entity, the entity will find that each quality calls into the realm of experience that which may be seen as its opposite so that when, for example, loving acceptance\index{acceptance} is experienced in sufficient quality, shall we say, there is a natural setting up of that which is not accepted\index{accepted} as well. For as one defines that which one may accept and accept in a loving manner, that which does not reside within the definition in some degree partakes of that which is not accepted.\\ love-body.tex:1861:61: I am Hatonn\index{hatonn}, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that this query is far more complex than its simple statement would presume, for within the query are various presumptions, some of which work against others. We would suggest that the greatest protection for any entity in any situation is to see the self and all other selves as the Creator and to have as the foundation stone of any interaction between selves a true and heartfelt\index{heartfelt} love\index{love} for the other selves. Whatever actions may then depend from this basic attitude of love, compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} may then proceed within the boundaries, shall we say, of the greatest protection that is possible. For to those who move within the ways of love, there is no fear\index{fear} of any other self, for all is seen as the Creator. love-body.tex:1902:27: As you explore on the equations of your relationships, on the qualities of your experience, you will find that the components of these equations can be reduced to your ability to accept more of yourself, of the creation, and of your experience as being whole and perfect within itself, lacking nothing. There is within each human heart\index{heart} the ability to express this acceptance\index{acceptance} in a direct ratio with the sincere desire\index{desire} to know what you call truth, for as you sincerely seek the truth of your experience and of yourself, you will find that all has the foundation of love\index{love} and the qualities of light as it vibrates in a specifically defined field that gives you a framework or an environment in which to exercise your love. Thus, the creation has been made that you might play, as it were, study\index{study}, romp as does the young kitten in the fields of experience that are made possible by the vibrational frequencies of the light which enfolds you and the love which empowers you.\\ love-body.tex:1965:42: Thus, one may experience a good deal of frustration and anger\index{anger} pointed toward the self within an incarnational pattern as a result of various what an entity may call mistakes and ineffective application in order that a greater love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} might eventually replace the anger\index{anger} and frustration which were the first distortions or biases with which the entity began. Thus, the continued experience of this anger pointed toward the self may eventually attract the attention of the entity to the degree that the entity begins to consider why such anger exists and what use may be made of it, all the while building the potential for eventual acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion for the self and then for others about the self.\\ love-body.tex:2253:42: I am Q’uo. My brother, we were not speaking of such, but rather were speaking of the work entailed in moving beyond the surface consciousness to the deeper and more trustworthy wisdom\index{wisdom} that lies deep within the self. We do not ask you to surrender\index{surrender} to any outer authority. We ask you only to surrender to that portion of yourself that you have found to be imperishable, worthy, beautiful\index{beautiful} and able to manifest the fruits of an unconditional love\index{unconditional love} which is your birthright\index{birthright}, which moves through you from a deep place of self-acceptance within.\\ love-body.tex:2260:57: To see oneself as a cell in the body of creation is a most helpful concept, because as you gaze in thought at your own anatomy and physiology you may see that each cell is equally important. The skin, the muscles, the mind, the simple reaching out of the hands that is possible because you are in physical existence, these are causes for rejoicing, these are causes for thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving} and praise, for you have the opportunity to act as a channel, a worthy and loving channel for the infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} and light of the one Creator. Self-acceptance is a good start upon self-forgiveness. To accept one’s faults as they are, paradoxically, is to open oneself up to the possibility of change, growth and transformation.\\ love-body.tex:2270:17: Could one do without glory? By no means. To say “glory” is also to say “passion.” Glory is the passion of the heart\index{heart} and it has its artifacts in the blue\index{blue} ray of communication of an inspirational nature and the indigo\index{indigo} ray of work done upon the self in self-healing, self-forgiveness, self-quieting and, above all, self-acceptance. The beginning of lover—we correct this instrument—the beginning of loving others as one loves the self is to discover the glory within the self, to forgive the self for its behaviors which shall be various due to the workings of free will, so that one may concentrate as much as possible simply on loving and being with the infinite\index{infinite} One.\\ love-body.tex:2305:39: When one has faith in the other, one begins with an acceptance\index{acceptance} that is equal to love\index{love}, and extends that quality of love as a kind of protective field, shall we say, that shields or protects one’s sense of purpose or rightness, in order that the sense of rightness within the pattern might firm that pattern or attitude of mind in a way that is likened to the construction of a firm foundation for a building. But when one’s heart\index{heart} chakra has been opened enough to allow the movement of this creative energy called love to it, and one has experienced this quality moving from the self to another in a service dependable manner over a period of time, then it is possible to feel the extension of this quality into that quality known as faith.\\ love-body.tex:2342:21: May you share laughter and tears, And may you remember that such relationships and such learning are the work not of a week, nor a year or a decade, but of a lifetime. You may feel you are making no progress\index{progress}. But look back ten years and see the value of shared experience. Above all, refuse to become adversaries. Always attempt to put the self in the place of the other self. And to give that other self every consideration, as their freedom, every ounce of love\index{love} within your being. Release and surrender\index{surrender} your mate to the love of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. And allow your mate to release you. For each of you is strong, independent and able. Your differences are the dynamics which make your “us”-ness strong. So do not fear\index{fear} disagreement. Simply recognize that there will be honest disagreement and that this is acceptable. May you live in faith, faith that that which is happening is that which is supposed to be happening. Faith that there is love in the moment, if one looks hard enough for it. Faith in the difficulties, that the difficulties is a challenge which shall bear fruit\index{fruit}. And faith that recognizes and rejoices in those times which are easy and warm\index{warm} and loving. Remember always to give thanks and praise for such moments. For if you may give sufficient praise and include the Creator in these special moments, then you need not so much suffer\index{suffer} disagreements. For you are doing your work of becoming more and more a strong union. While in good humor, the more you may do in a conscious work. While in a good humor, the less need you will have for the challenge and the learning inherent in trauma. Yet trauma there shall be, for as you meditate, as you learn\index{learn} together each shall change, not once but many times. And there is a continuous need for acceptance\index{acceptance}, forgiveness and for encouragement, one to the other. love-body.tex:2417:13: A limitation is wisely accepted\index{accepted} as the basis of evaluation of further action. When one cannot walk one finds oneself an appropriate seat. When one cannot speak, one remains silent. When one cannot understand\index{understand}, one embraces mystery. When one cannot move, one embraces the concept of moving motionlessness. This is a foundation acceptance\index{acceptance} that is very helpful to the heart\index{heart}. It is not wisdom\index{wisdom} to ignore the circumstance of the physical vehicle, for these are the limitations of which you speak, limitations of action, of movement, of energy, but this is only the basis for further waiting, waiting in patience\index{patience}, in quietude, in certainty of the constant inflow of inspiration, for many are those who choose to do as much as possible, regardless of the circumstances and regardless of those things done, because authority says those who do the most are worth the most. Thus, the self values activity without evaluating worth, the love\index{love} one has, the joy\index{joy} one has in each activity, but simply assuming that to give is to be productive, to be busy, to be active.\\ love-body.tex:2421:21: You are treasures, you are gems. Trust the process of limitation and loss to show forth to yourself, to the world and to all whom you may serve, all whom you may meet, that beautiful\index{beautiful} gem hidden within, that many-faceted, amazingly wondrous, youthful self. May you shine through that Earthly vessel. May you use misfortune in joy\index{joy}. May you drop away that which is busyness without undue fear\index{fear}, but with love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and may you accept each change through the pain\index{pain}, through the difficulty of change, in perfect faith that all is well and all will be well, and you are fearless, holding up the light of consciousness to a world hungry\index{hungry} for consciousness and far too full of the awareness of its own clay.\\ love-body.tex:2463:16: All entities have help available to them. None need rely upon the self. But to those whose childhoods have been experienced as accepting and cherishing and nurturing will come those entities which are personal, speak personally to the entity, are intimate with the entity, and become the objective vision which encompasses the wall of self-forgiveness. Those who have been caused to believe\index{believe} that they cannot be as they are and be loved learn\index{learn} to behave and carry into their relationship\index{relationship} with love\index{love} an entity which behaves, rather than an entity which is as it is. In this case the same help is available, but it shall come to the entity in an impersonal form. Such impersonal forces, principles and entities, are as we, those who speak as inspiringly as possible through each instrument of the depth and resonance of the self of each of you, calling\index{calling} to you to call within yourself, acceptance\index{acceptance}, love and forgiveness.\\ love-body.tex:2467:40: As to the name, Sananda, the Christ\index{christ} name has moved through many namings. There is no one name of this consciousness that may declare itself unique at this time, that is, the only entity which speaks as the principle of the master\index{master} known as Jehoshua\index{jehoshua}, or Jesus\index{jesus}. We ask that you yourself listen with an open heart\index{heart} to the messages of the one known to you as Sananda—how many names this energy has been perceived as having, how many more shall there be. You are one, as are most who have studied the consciousness, the mind and the actions of the one known as Jesus the Christ. Listen to this entity. Seems it to speak in humility\index{humility}, compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, encouraging each to love\index{love} each other? If that be so, what matters it what it call itself?\\ love-body.tex:2468:41: We may say specifically only that the intentness of the entity which is Christ\index{christ} is a consciousness which has used channels which have given over their lives to servanthood. Gaze clearly upon the face of love\index{love}. There is no pride\index{pride}, there is no judgment, there is always love, forgiveness and healing\index{healing}. That which is of Christ-consciousness dares the entity to look at itself, to accept itself, and by that impossibility of self acceptance\index{acceptance} and blind faith, be healed. If the entity whom you hear has this love, this yearning, this passion and this healing, you may judge for yourself what energy or principle of the Creator this entity is. We do not give opinions positive or negative of any source, but ask each entity to use its discrimination\index{discrimination}, and always to use the light touch, the relaxed and time-consuming patience\index{patience} allowing ideas offered by such consciousnesses to steep and ripen within the self. By [the] fruits of these teachings shall you know the nature of him who planted the seed\index{seed} that blooms within yourself. love-body.tex:2483:9: This is your glory and your power. You are an expression of consciousness. Your consciousness is made up of two things, that which we call love\index{love}, or the one original Thought, that is to say, the Creator Itself, and that primary principle of free will. Without the introduction of free will the universe would be infinite\index{infinite} and intelligent, but it would not be conscious of itself. You have been cast forth as a sower broadcasts the seeds of a garden. Within you, without knowing articulately, you are a certain kind of seed\index{seed}. All begin with this basic seed-nature. During the course of incarnation upon incarnation you begin to become aware in an unique way of your own consciousness. Although this is merely a recapitulation of that realization which is the harvestability of second density\index{second density} into third, we emphasize it again and again to you in this context. Your turning to the light, your yearning for love and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and your more mature yearning to be loving and be compassionate are such deep portions of your mind that, shall we say, the metaprogram of your existence is based upon this nature.\\ love-body.tex:2486:17: The study\index{study} of the archetypical mind may seem to be irrelevant, but let us hold up to you the contrast. On the one hand there is the entity which believes that it may collect learnings, and by that collection form a staircase of light which moves that entity gnostically into higher and higher realms of wisdom\index{wisdom} until it has finally realized itself. To our understanding there is no way to improve one’s grasp of one’s spiritual situation or one’s ability to benefit from this illusion\index{illusion} which is summed up in wisdom literature. Wisdom is not what you are here to learn\index{learn}. Certainly you may use it, but what you are here to learn is the open heart\index{heart}, the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the unacceptable, the love\index{love} of the unlovable, the meaning of the word compassion\index{compassion}, the entry in a personal way of infinity\index{infinity} and eternity\index{eternity} into the supposedly mundane existence.\\ love-body.tex:2559:14: The other entity may still have, for some reason connected with your learning process, the ability to cause changes in your geographical location, and in your circumstances in general, but in no case is such an entity able, except by your own permission and acceptance\index{acceptance}, able to affect you yourself. You may be imprisoned, you may be tortured, you may be in any manner of situations, but as you recall who you are, an imperishable spirit\index{spirit} of light that lives by faith, you become untouchable, for you have about you what this instrument would call the whole armor of light, and the Creator Itself is your protection, for you are as much children\index{children} of the Creator as any other, as much to be loved and protected as any other, and in no way deficient.\\ love-body.tex:2706:8: We would, in fact, give as our opinion that it is by no means the majority of entities who find each other unacceptable in some way, shape or form, that have had karma\index{karma} to be balanced. It is just as possible that the entities that you truly are—they being far more pure than you can imagine—have made agreements, one with another, for the mutual benefit of each. Each need usually in these relationships to learn\index{learn} the same kind of lesson about love\index{love}, and we believe\index{believe} that the word in the question was “acceptance\index{acceptance}.”\\ love-body.tex:2718:26: This was not intended to be a comfortable life; this was intended to be an incarnation of very hard work, for the surrendering of the desire\index{desire} to control, and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the need to be loving, whether there is love\index{love} returned or not, to be understanding, whether there is understanding returned or not, is paramount in your path of service. This is what you are doing for yourself. This is the gift you gave yourself. Cherish it. Be honest with it. Be thankful for it. And use the tools of stepping back, making affirmations, and, if necessary, walking away from the situation in which you have to some degree become unable to do these things, long enough to be able to regain your perspective of infinity\index{infinity}.\\ love-body.tex:2721:31: We realize that as usual we have talked too long. We were about to launch into further considerations, but we feel that our time is up and this instrument wishes for us to say farewell through this instrument, and so we shall. We thank\index{thank} this instrument for speaking upon a subject which in truth she was loathe to attempt, as the instrument is indeed one of those who asked this question. We hope\index{hope} that the tools that we have made available are part of what you may use to move into harmony with love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance} and the allowing of all entities to be as they are, and that includes yourself. You cannot push a flower\index{flower} out of the ground. You must wait, nourish it, feed\index{feed} it, water\index{water} it, let the sun shine upon it, and give all credit, all glory and praise and thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving} for the bloom to the Creator of that bloom. You all are stewards of an immeasurable bounty of riches. Your birthmark is joy\index{joy} unrestrained, and overwhelming love for all. love-body.tex:2842:6: So rouse the self from its daze with a shout of joy\index{joy} and stand in glad acceptance\index{acceptance} that you shall do all for love\index{love} and in that giving you may perhaps have one outcome or the other. But whether the little life of flesh is ended or is preserved, then you shall be with the Creator. Take these opportunities to polarize, to experience unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, to experience a deep forgiveness of all concerned, and most of all of yourself for being dazed by the illusion\index{illusion} once again. love-body.tex:2865:9: The most strengthening gift that you can cultivate in the regard of this most important and central service is the gift of persistence and unflagging acceptance\index{acceptance} of any and all circumstances, because it is only an illusion\index{illusion} that lies between you and that which is the truth. To extend across the chasm between doubt\index{doubt} and faith some entities need great structures to guide them. Other entities find their chapel in the woods, or in the mountain\index{mountain}, however it is that you are most comforted by meditation\index{meditation}. Therefore, a basic step, if you wish\index{wish} truly to accelerate the pace of spiritual evolution, is first of all to learn\index{learn} to honor, love\index{love} and value yourself as an absolute whole and perfect being. All else is illusion. You within are imperishable. You will one day discard this physical vehicle in order to grasp by review those things which you have done in this life, so that you may, with guidance, whether you call it the Holy Spirit\index{holy spirit}, inner planes aid, or contacts such as this one, [form a new life plan]. This inner guidance is most transparent when the meditation is daily, without necessarily being as long as this instrument informs us our messages are.\\ love-body.tex:2903:8: How does one make this pathway straight? Largely by coming to terms with your three so-called lower, but what we would call perhaps fundamental, energies, through which all living light must pass to flow into the heart\index{heart} to give it the power and the strength\index{strength} and the stability it needs in order that it may heal, or communicate, discern wisdom\index{wisdom}, discern spirits, or any other gift of the open heart, all of which are concerned with loving the Creator and human kind. How can you do this if the heart is open, but the energy moving into it must move through far too small an opening because you have not come to terms with yourself, you have not accepted\index{accepted} yourself, you have not accepted your relationships; you have not accepted the primacy of love\index{love}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, over any personal preference whatsoever; you have not done the work of forgiveness, perhaps, or self-forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance}, or more likely, self-acceptance?\\ love-body.tex:2906:16: How then should an entity which has found a personal truth, a personal path from the mundane to eternity\index{eternity}, express itself in regard to other people? Two things especially need to be kept in mind. Firstly, the most important witness an entity can offer for the one Creator in glory, in peace\index{peace} and in joy\index{joy}, is the manifestation of the self with conscious encouragement of the self in unspoken and uncontrived witness. We expect those who have achieved this much maturity to have chosen a path, and to be able to speak of that path. But the first gift that one may give is presence, simply practicing the presence of the Creator within the self, and allowing the practice of that presence to shine forth so that those of any kind may sense that peace\index{peace} which is not the world’s, that joy which the world only knows as happiness, the palest shadow\index{shadow} of joy, of love\index{love}, indescribable, but quite clearly observable among those who would gaze at the face of one who truly loves. This is your greatest witness, it is your greatest help to your beloved people and to your planet as a whole, for the planet itself responds to self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. These are metaphysical vibrations as strong in mending the Earth\index{earth} as the pressure of tectonic plates is strong in mending the adjustment of the Earth in catastrophic style.\\ love-body.tex:2910:21: To begin again, to begin again, to begin again—how the human spirit\index{spirit} rebels. Yet within the present moment there is only beginning, and there is nothing but the present moment in any spiritual consideration. So look to the loving and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the higher power which you may call as you wish\index{wish}. Look to your relationship\index{relationship} with that love\index{love} that created you. Allow within yourself the birth\index{birth} in the manger of your heart\index{heart} of your own spiritual beingness, true, imperishable, consciousness. Guard it, just as the story\index{story} speaks of this infant’s mother\index{mother} and father\index{father} fleeing to protect their child. Protect this child as lovingly, and with as much feeling of honor.\\ love-body.tex:2939:12: We are aware that this seems in some ways very glib, because the tearing and rending of the self, as one develops in maturity, is certainly most painful, and almost impossible to understand\index{understand} while it is going on. It is necessary only to understand that all things within the self, though contradictory, confused, and to whatever extent unenlightened, are acceptable, beloved, and supported by the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and by that spirit\index{spirit} of love\index{love} that moves with you and is your companion at all times. There is no way that you can move away from love, except by ignoring it because of fear\index{fear}. You see, to the Creator, you are never guilty\index{guilty}, you are never unaccepted. To the Creator, you are always in a paradise, but each of you is in an illusion\index{illusion} which decries the apparent inaccuracy of our previous statement, and it is only by faith that you may feel that love, that acceptance\index{acceptance}, that forgiveness, and that support. It is only by faith that you may continue standing when you feel that life has cut you off at the knees. It is only by faith that you can stay alive when you feel that your life is not worth the living.\\ love-body.tex:2973:26: From our perspective there is no difference, for all is one and your peoples are beginning to perceive this also. However, there has been such rigid training and differentiation, especially in your Western cultures, between the sacred\index{sacred} and the mundane that many have much retraining work to do within themselves. Much of this is accomplished naturally as new realizations occur to people. For others this process will be more difficult and there are many who are, by choice, so steeped in their own religious traditions and beliefs that [they] will never allow themselves consciously to grasp the unity of the concepts. For these, all one who is attempting unification can do is to extend love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} and acknowledgment of the ascendancy of free will within which these individuals have chosen to restrict their use of life. Individuals in such a position are, as are all others, on their own path and learning those lessons appropriate to themselves, and although it may be viewed by many that such restriction is unfortunate and perhaps even damaging to the efforts of those desiring unification, yet as in all such cases where events may be viewed to be unfortunate or even tragic, this is true only within the bounds of the illusion\index{illusion} that you now operate within.\\ love-body.tex:2974:27: The true work of each is being done on much deeper levels and individuals that on a conscious, intentional level are most adamant about maintaining restrictions and divisions may on deeper levels be doing much more work toward true unification than those who, on a conscious, intentional level appear to be most open-minded and accepting. Therefore, we would remind each again not to attempt to judge any entity on the basis of what it sees, for you have no way of knowing what true processes are involved and the responsibility you are left with is simply to offer love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} to each entity as the Creator. Such efforts indeed are, we feel, the most beneficial\index{beneficial} if an entity wishes to progress\index{progress} towards unity of all. The love and acceptance offered from one entity to another on an individual basis is the cornerstone for such work on a global basis and is a vital necessity to any such unification process, or if unification of religion\index{religion} were attained structurally and openly, and yet love and acceptance were not offered on an individual basis, where is the true progress? love-body.tex:2979:17: Self-knowledge can also be called self-acceptance. Self-acceptance can also be called self-forgiveness. Self-forgiveness can also be called self-redemption. Within you lies all these things. Not because you are a wise\index{wise} and powerful being, but because the self is one with the Creator. Would you suggest to the Creator that It may be having a bad day? Would you berate the Creator for having roses grow from gravel? It is not likely that one who is not hit by outward catastrophe would find reasons to blame the Creator for that which is occurring to one. Thusly, as the realization begins to dawn through immediate experience that the Creator is truly within, that all lore and love\index{love} flow through rather than from the self, the entity who wishes to channel is more and more able to invest in that tenuous quality called faith or trust.\\ love-body.tex:2997:38: You are human, and you are not expected to be perfect. While in a human form in this incarnation, there are emotions. To want to get rid of the emotional body is a non-acceptance of the self, because the emotional body is an essential part of the incarnate self. So what you are being given here is another opportunity to look at the emotional body and embrace it, not to hate\index{hate} that aspect of yourself. Each of you needs to purify yourself into that spiritual body and to move further along the spiritual path that you are on; and that’s easy when you are not in an incarnation. The incarnation offers the opportunity to practice when such embracing is more challenging. Do you look at the physical body and say, “This is gross and I don’t want it,” or do you attempt to love\index{love} it? And it’s much harder to learn\index{learn} to love the emotional part of the body complex.\\ love-body.tex:3014:7: Especially when outward circumstances seem murky and turgid with heavy cares, the seeker\index{seeker} will find those cares lifted so easily away simply by remembering to reach out the hand to the friendship\index{friendship} of the sanctified Christ\index{christ}. Now that sanctified presence is truly within each seeker, as is all the universe. You are the creator of your particular creation, and co-Creator with infinite\index{infinite} Intelligence of that which is experienced and how it is experienced. Although you cannot be another’s creation, you cannot help but be the creator of your own. So, in making the choices\index{choices} from moment to moment, do not let your heart\index{heart} flag or falter because you are alone; for there is companionship\index{companionship} more real than the manifested forms of your density, ever waiting for your simple recognition and acceptance\index{acceptance}. How loved all entities are! Yet without the intention to reach out in trust for that love\index{love}, an entity may walk forever in a fog of self-created solitude.\\ love-body.tex:3016:13: The second mind is often called the heart\index{heart}. In the open heart is stored the true mind which begets wisdom\index{wisdom} and compassion\index{compassion}, which is as infinite\index{infinite} and effortless as the love\index{love} of an open heart. Many things, however, occur during an incarnation which may tend\index{tend} to cause an entity to erect defensive barriers in order that this precious heart may not be wounded\index{wounded} more than it already is. Thusly, in order to open the second heart—the heart of wisdom—one must first gaze at the erected barriers in acceptance\index{acceptance} and love for the self that needed those barriers, allowing them to remain until they are no longer needed. Then the heart may open, and wisdom may be fearlessly received and equally fearlessly manifested forth.\\ love-body.tex:3051:55: This is not true just of perfectionism, but of any quality in your life. A desire\index{desire} to serve comes to mind here. We have spoken of the concept in the past few days that this desire\index{desire} can come from a voice of love\index{love} or a voice of fear\index{fear}. It is the voice of fear that distorts the ability and fragments the self, and further enhances the sense of helplessness and limitedness. It is the voice of love that opens the self, that inspires, leading the being to be all it can be and touching the deep sense of acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} when that human can do no more because it is human.\\ love-body.tex:3061:23: Because you are human you constantly fall short of the ideal, and yet you constantly ask yourself to let go of that edge on to which you were you holding and strike out again to cross the sea of truth. It is a very courageous act, and yet you rarely give yourself notice of the courage. You perceive the fear\index{fear} that asks you to hold back and you miss the beautiful\index{beautiful} bravery and love\index{love} exhibited each time you take a new step. Does a child learn\index{learn} to walk with a parent who says, “Don’t take another step, you’ll fall!”—or with a parent who applauds each new step and picks that child up and takes away the hurt from the inevitable fall? How can you learn to pick yourselves up in this way? I believe\index{believe} this is the question Q’uo raised at the end of the preceding talk. Can you learn to cherish that self who so bravely tries again and again? Know that in this physical manifestation you cannot reach that perfection toward which the self yearns and finally come to an acceptance\index{acceptance} that reaching that perfection is not necessary. Rather, the yearning is a tool to build the strength\index{strength} and faith so that one begins to understand\index{understand} one’s inner perfection.\\ love-body.tex:3073:58: Allow yourself to stop being a bubble and to become the ocean. Allow yourself the luxury of being asked before speaking, and of feeling no responsibility for those who do not ask questions. The skillful help one may give the entity who does not ask questions, but is suffering, is simply to allow the overwhelming compassion\index{compassion} within and send, out of fullness of Self, that loving and healing\index{healing} energy of acceptance\index{acceptance} of that other self just as it is, with all of its self-perceived imperfections. This acceptance is as much a catalyst for another, although it is not aware of that, as is the verbal acceptance. Entities prefer verbal acceptance because they do not understand\index{understand} the depth of their own perceptive abilities. Honor this simple holding of another in compassion, acceptance and forgiveness. And honor, above all, that same attitude toward the one named self, that everlasting child within which is bound to make unskillful choices\index{choices} again and again. love-body.tex:3079:12: There is one more issue here that needs to be looked at. Why does a being choose to incarnate into a situation where he will feel different in any way, where he will become angry\index{angry}? Why does he choose to subject himself to those catalysts? It would seem to me that it is likely that you both have this issue of self-acceptance. Sometimes one needs the catalyst of anger\index{anger} in order to be challenged to look at one’s feelings more deeply, to uncover the love\index{love}, and to nurture\index{nurture} that.\\ love-body.tex:3081:14: One who chooses to incarnate into a situation where one lives with anger\index{anger} is choosing that situation to prod oneself, one might say, to learn\index{learn} a deeper level of forgiveness and compassion\index{compassion}. Of course, one starts with the self, finding acceptance\index{acceptance} for that anger\index{anger} in the self so that one may not judge that in others, but may love\index{love} that, and all aspects of all beings. How does one love another’s anger? It is not the anger that one is loving, it is the spirit\index{spirit} of the being itself, which is pure and holy and beautiful\index{beautiful}. The being is not its anger nor its greed\index{greed} nor its fear\index{fear}. And yet you constantly create this duality\index{duality}, and so much of your work is to move beyond that.\\ love-body.tex:3084:24: Always, infinity\index{infinity} is at the behest of one which chooses to remember the infinite\index{infinite} Creator and the love\index{love} the entity has experienced from this great source of love. Thusly, in healing\index{healing} the self-judgment, the parent is then able to express itself as an healed and whole entity, and is thus able to give whatever it may find possible to give out of a fullness of heart\index{heart}, a total and 360-degree acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self, knowing that the self is indeed all things, positive and negative, as is perceived within the illusion\index{illusion}. When this healing is complete, then the entity may simply sit with this anger\index{anger} from another and see it as a catalyst which has done its job already.\\ love-body.tex:3085:25: There is eventually no self-perceived need to assign any quality to the other self, for that quality has clearly been seen within the self and forgiven within the self. It is in this acceptance\index{acceptance} and rest that the child may come to believe\index{believe} that it is possible to be miserable and yet to be hopeful, for the child knows well the parent and knows well the parent’s version of this same negative trait, as perceived within the illusion\index{illusion}. When the parent authentically establishes an healed awareness of self, when it is capable of saying, “Just as I am, just this much is perfect in a way I do not understand\index{understand} but perceive by faith alone,” then compassion\index{compassion} flows from that womb which is the true heart\index{heart}, which is ever pregnant with the fullness of love\index{love} and ever propagating itself in seeds of fullness out of fullness that may rain upon those about it. Thus, in finding the peace\index{peace} and acceptance of the self, one finds the acceptance of the unquiet mirror\index{mirror} offered by another self.\\ love-body.tex:3091:46: There is one further thing I would say here. So often you seem to hear two voices within you. One, that comes from the heart\index{heart}, is a voice of love\index{love}, and one, that we would call the voice of the brain or of reason, is often a voice of fear\index{fear}. You have one voice within you that asks you to trust yourself and trust others, to allow yourself to open, to cherish that beautiful\index{beautiful} self within as a bud, bringing it into the sunlight of your love. And then there is the voice of fear, and it says, “Well I have work to do on myself. Maybe I’m not ready for a relationship\index{relationship}.” Do you see the excuses there? Can you see the avoidance? There is always work to do on oneself, no matter how evolved you become. You are never complete but always in progress\index{progress}. Do you wait for perfection? Can you begin to see that it is the voice of fear that suggests that you wait and to ask yourself with some compassion\index{compassion}, “What am I afraid of? What is this fear?”—not to track it down analytically as it grows out of this or that event of childhood, but to begin to see all the anger\index{anger} and lack of self-acceptance behind it and to relate to that with love and compassion?\\ love-body.tex:3107:8: You realize we must speak in some terms of overgeneraliztion as each relationship\index{relationship} is most individualistic and specific and there are indeed many mothers and fathers who are perceived by their children\index{children} to be adequate and loving nurturers however there are many who may, while attempting from their own perspective, to be as loving and nurturing as they know how, they yet, in the non-acceptance of the child entity in various matters which may be more or less perceived by them to be so, instill the child entity with the voice of criticism of which you spoke and indeed there are those mothers and fathers who do not find it in themselves to be nurturing and loving and find that all they have to offer is this voice of criticism.\\ love-body.tex:3110:11: If each entity were born\index{born} into a family where the only thing experienced was total love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, the experience of the entity would be similar to those entities who incarnated before the advent of the veil between the conscious and unconscious minds or before the availability of the choice between the positive and the negative paths, the result being that with no stimulus which is perceived as negative, very little growth takes place. Thusly, for one who incarnates for the purposes of learning the lessons of love, the perceived absence of love is essential in order that such learning may take place.\\ love-body.tex:3111:12: If the perception of love\index{love} may be felt as total acceptance\index{acceptance}, then the perception of the absence of love may be felt by non-acceptance, which is manifested in the criticism of which you spoke.\\ love-body.tex:3112:13: The degree then, to which this criticism is perceived by the child entity from the parents may be seen as correlative to the lessons each entity wish\index{wish} to set up for itself, beginning with the infancy and early childhood. This relationship\index{relationship} is by no means the only situation by which entities may learn\index{learn} these lessons of love\index{love}, throughout the life, many other relationships and situations will be encountered in which again the non-acceptance or the criticism is experienced however, most entities will choose to set up these lessons early in the life pattern so that the patterns have got an attitude having been established at a very early age, have the opportunity to grow throughout the incarnation and interact with other situations that may be perceived similarly thus affording the entity multiplied, shall we say, opportunities for learning these lessons.\\ love-body.tex:3113:14: The learning of the lessons, of these lessons, as always with the lesson of love\index{love} focuses again and again on the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self and the other selves in the light love-body.tex:3298:35: I am Q’uo. We believe\index{believe} that this is so, my sister. As one entity finds the center of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, then this energy of love and acceptance is radiated to the other entity and the possibility of calming the storm is increased.\\ love-body.tex:3310:31: I believe\index{believe} the important thing here is to become aware each time that “I need to” arises, that there is a sense of unworthiness behind it, a sense of fear\index{fear}. The first step, then, is mindfulness, deep awareness, each time that sense of fear arises. The second step is acceptance\index{acceptance} of this human who sometimes feels fear; just a smile\index{smile} and a, “Here is fear again. Come in fear, I have been expecting you.” Give yourself a hug and return to the act of loving, of worship\index{worship} of God\index{god}, of extending your loving energy in whatever ways you can, not just to others but to yourself. With the acceptance of that small arising of fear, it will not grow into distortion.\\ love-body.tex:3318:61: Now, I know those are inspiring words, but the reality is that it is much harder to do it than to speak of it. Each time that you fall into that trap\index{trap} of mistaking service for a specific kind of doing and see yourselves attached to that doing, might I suggest that instead of looking critically at this human who has made that unskillful choice, you find acceptance\index{acceptance} for that human. What is behind that grasping at service in this specific way or that specific way? Can you begin to see the layer of fear\index{fear} under there? And as you allow loving self-acceptance to replace that fear, then you become love\index{love} again and you become service, service to all beings.\\ love-body.tex:3324:84: So, just watch it, holding no judgment about it. There is nothing bad in making that move. As you bring increasing awareness to it, you find freedom from reactivity to it—simply noticing, moving back to “I should,” moving back to separation and coming back to allow the heart\index{heart} to open again through loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} for this being who moved momentarily into fear\index{fear}.\\ love-body.tex:3326:86: [footnote start]Holy Bible\index{bible}, Exodus 3:14.[footnote end][footnote start]JHVH, Jahweh or Jehovah is a name of mystery supposedly given to Moses on Mt.

Fear becomes a catalyst for compassion\index{compassion}. Hatred and the fear behind hatred can be clearly seen for what they are: not as an intrinsic part of you, but as a reaction due to certain conditions that have arisen and led to that fear. And the knowing that there is fear within you, in itself, becomes a path to clarify your energy so that your response to this being that is feeling fear, to this aspect of yourself, becomes even more loving, more clear and pure than it was before.\\ love-body.tex:3348:55: And each moment of attention to the arising of fear\index{fear} in you brings you closer to the purity of non-judgmental acceptance\index{acceptance} of everything within the experience of mind and body, not mine or yours, but all of ours. It is this unconditional love\index{unconditional love} that you are here to learn\index{learn} and practice and express in whatever ways you are able.\\ love-body.tex:3378:30: There is the graduation into and use of a physical vehicle which is more densely packed with light than the one which you now utilize in your current experience. This vehicle is that which is associated with the fourth energy center or chakra, that having to do with the heart\index{heart}, so that the primary influence of this body and its experience is that of learning the lessons of love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion}, mercy, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance} so that entities will have a greater opportunity to see the Creator in the creation about them, and to see and express that Creator within the self as well.\\ love-body.tex:3383:58: All experience within your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} has the purpose of teaching some facet of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}. As entities move through various experiences there are those challenges or testings that further teach those areas that have previously been lacking in their balance or refinement. The more difficult the challenge or test, the greater the possibility for learning love and acceptance. The traumatic conditions, such as that of your warfare, offer great immediate opportunity for entities to see the possibilities of love and service to others\index{service to others}, such as when a soldier would jump upon that which you call the grenade to save the life of a friend. This is the greatest service.\\ love-body.tex:3396:37: I am Q’uo, and we feel the concern and the dedication for your journey that you have expressed, and would comment by suggesting that when it is felt within one’s being that there is the opportunity to progress\index{progress} upon the path and to become a new being in seeking and in service, that one be especially vigilant for the opportunities to serve and to see the Creator about one in those areas in which one may not commonly look or expect to see the Creator. This is to say, that in all transformations—or as they are often called amongst your peoples, in all initiations—there is the testing, the opportunity to express the quality of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} that are yours to express. These opportunities oftentimes present themselves in situations which are commonly viewed as difficult, confusing and disharmonious.\\ love-body.tex:3401:6: Very well, if we have been able to encourage feelings of acceptance\index{acceptance} and respect\index{respect} and love\index{love} for the gallant body, then it is time to move on to the seeking of that within which seems archetypically female. Within each culture the male and female dance a somewhat different courting dance, play somewhat differing roles. It is not well to generalize, and we hope\index{hope} to be accurate, but insofar as one can be general, the male feels that it has chosen a female. The female waits for the choosing. When one applies this to the seeking of the intuitive wisdom\index{wisdom} of the subconscious one may focus upon the male portion which chooses to reach for the chosen one, the pearl among all other and less entities, the very most nearly perfect of all possible choices\index{choices}. It is with this lover’s delight in the right choice that the conscious mind reaches for the lovely, gentle\index{gentle} and very powerful subconscious.\\ love-body.tex:3423:18: You are a co-creator. Step back from the constellation of the self. See the constellation of your own mind. See the unimaginable number of choices\index{choices} that have brought you to this moment. And see that you will treat others as a corollary of the way you treat yourself. As you venture forth within this incarnational experience you are enjoying, see and feel the dance of interstellar space, of the constellations of the body and the marvelous structure of the mind, and realize that you enter the present moment powerful within yourself. As each fear\index{fear} is noticed, addressed, blessed, accepted\index{accepted} and eventually dropped away, for it is unneeded, there will be fewer times that the constellation that unifies as yourself finds, through fear, that it wishes to control an inappropriate way. Look always first to the discipline\index{discipline} of the self and the acceptance\index{acceptance}, blessing and forgiveness of the self, as the self is imperfect, so it seems. Then when you gaze upon a fellow being there will not be the blinders of fear to distract the thinking or blind the eyes of judgment. As this instrument often says, free will is paramount. Let this and love\index{love} be your guides\index{guides}.\\ love-body.tex:3426:12: When one chooses a path one has the full spectrum from which to choose precisely because one contains all that there is. The first defense, therefore, is to visualize this negative power and fearlessly to invite it to take up a loving absorption within the very heart\index{heart}, for positive power is power balanced by knowledge\index{knowledge} of the self. The decision not to attempt power over another is made when the entity grasps that there is no need to have power over others, for all of creation expresses its power in the self. All magical work, therefore, is done upon the self. There is no need to manipulate, teach, control, move or advise other entities. The need is only to do these things within the self, disciplining\index{disciplining} the self to a more and more balanced and clear acceptance\index{acceptance} of the universal nature of selfhood, and therefore choosing lucidly and clearly to serve others, to withhold judgment of or control over others, and to practice loving the self, accepting the self and allowing the errors perceived within the self to be self-forgiven.\\ love-body.tex:3445:20: The first gift of the spiritual wayfarer is the time and the energy to move within, to work upon the discipline\index{discipline} of the personality, that more and more of the personality may be imbued with the indigo\index{indigo} ray of joyful accepting love\index{love} of self. Consider the usual indigo ray of the underdeveloped student as a pool. The polarity\index{polarity} of service to others\index{service to others} fills this pool, but it is simply rain falling into a conserving receptacle, a still pool within one, until it has been enlivened by the acceptance\index{acceptance} of love that is beyond the possible love when judgment remains. Until this block is removed, this pool of polarity remains still and lacking in appropriate propinquity to the...\\ love-body.tex:3446:23: ...There’s a moment when the pool of polarity\index{polarity} within is opened to what lies beyond acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self. Then it becomes a truly potent force\index{force} within the life, as though a fountain or spring came forth from that still pool, and sprayed and dropped like rain into each present moment; so that no key must be turned to start up the engine of self-acceptance which opens the door to unconditional channeling\index{channeling} of infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} through one. The key is already inserted. The work is being done within in such a way to genetically affect the energies of polarized beingness.\\ love-body.tex:3473:9: It is much more difficult to look for the heart\index{heart} of the dilemma. To gaze not at the topology and chronology of the disharmony but rather to penetrate the illusion\index{illusion} to move by faith alone through the veil of forgetting. And to by faith ask for help from the world of the spiritual on the level of those things which are not seen. The workings of the heart are not seen. The self-acceptance or lack of it is not seen. The love\index{love} or hunger for love in relationships is not seen. Circumstances only are seen. There is, my friends, a reason for this. The design is to so baffle, frustrate and confuse the intellect with all the data of the senses that the student will be forced to move the center of investigatory energy from the intellectual mind, which is a creature of this illusion only, to the wisdom\index{wisdom} of the deep mind, which is vastly more informed and which resides in what you would call the heart energy center. This center is the gateway center wherein, when the lower energies have been cleared, the gate becomes opened so that you can effectively focus the heart’s wisdom upon the situation you wish\index{wish} balanced within you. love-body.tex:3509:20: As we have said, this is subtle work. We feel it is an appropriate direction, and encourage each to contemplate what true service is. Is there truly a necessity in order to be one’s very best? To be obviously a leader among humankind? Or does it feel more likely to you that true service is involved in the surrender\index{surrender} of the self, moment by moment, to the inspiring energies of the universal self. The universal self is all of you, yet you are the universal self alone. You are holy and profane, you are as much a mystery as is the Creator. Your mystery and your service may be contained, convenient and finite, or you may choose the high road of attempting to universalize modes of perception so that you move more and more into an acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which the mind brings. Full and loving action in the face of circumstance is your path of service. Each is on that path. Sudden changes take place in such paths and the scenery changes. As long as the attention is kept upon the will of the infinite\index{infinite} One whatever service lies before you will feel most blessed. It may also feel inconvenient, uncomfortable and not at all fun. The persistence and even stubbornness of entities as they move through paths of service which have encountered difficult terrain... love-body.tex:3597:7: In the second exchange the teacher\index{teacher} viewing its own mother\index{mother} pointed with name to a beloved friend and in a brief sentence realigned relationship\index{relationship} away from accidents, shall we say, of birth\index{birth} and adjusted this relationship for a loving and compassionate opportunity for both mother and friend, as each then might comfort the other. From the sorrow\index{sorrow} of the apparent loss in both cases there may be seen to be an absence of fear\index{fear}, of self-pity, and an abundance and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the way destiny moves.\\ love-body.tex:3598:8: Let us move back onto the terra firma now, and gaze at the situation of lost love\index{love}. Now the lover of the past is a memory. Were it a lesson learned, the memory would not come up to disquiet or sadden one. That it haunts one is a good indication that there is a deep and destined lesson of love to learn\index{learn}. There are three ways one might work upon this lesson. Firstly, there is the work of forgiveness. Most seekers are far more willing to forgive the other self in a relationship\index{relationship} than to forgive the self, whether the self feels that it could have changed destiny by an action or feels that it could have changed destiny by eschewing an action. The case is that often the lack of forgiveness of the self stems from the belief that things ended wrongly. May we offer our opinion that there are no true accidents or mistakes in the metaphysical life, only opportunities. Therefore, the greater part of the work of acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness is allowing the self to feel all right, that and no more, simply all right.\\ love-body.tex:3600:12: It is not in any way easy to do that which we have suggested. The more intensive the desire\index{desire} has been to find love\index{love} the more intensive the experience of love, the more the yearning for love, the more it will seem very, very difficult to so center the mind viewpoint that all these acceptances and forgivenesses and reorientations may have their just process. Therefore, we urge each to see that this is the work of not one but many incarnational experiences to deepen the source within during the incarnation. In a star-crossed, shall we say, relationship\index{relationship} both entities, whatever the outcome in this experience, have been working with this balance for many incarnations. But allow the normalcy of day-to-day experience to move you until the next occasion when this haunting desire\index{desire} for a known or an unknown person or relationship looms so largely before the conscious mind that it colors all of one’s thought. Then see this occasion as the treasure it is. Let the fears fall, let the heart\index{heart} speak all it wishes until its well of words and threnaldy of pain\index{pain} is fully expressed. Honor and respect\index{respect} the deep emotions and give them full expression. Rather than feeling them as an ending of a real life experience and only a memory allow the feelings to become living. Birth\index{birth} them with your awareness of the beauty of love. You have desired\index{desired} truly, you have loved truly. This you have experienced. It may now be separated from the constraint of belonging to one entity and the self and become that potential for love and for acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} which may be universalized by being aware that this love is an energy unto itself.\\ love-body.tex:3617:17: In this self-acceptance lies the compassion\index{compassion} and love\index{love} which the lesson was intended to teach. The events themselves do not teach, and one’s reactions to the events do not fully teach; but the way one deals with one’s unredeemed and lost emotions make a great difference. The attitude can be adjusted by daily, silent meditation\index{meditation}. This is a good foundation upon which to build each day. However, much of the day is spent in a far more active and less contemplative mode. Within this active mode there seems little time for the reseating of one’s consciousness into the center of a life lived in faith. However, one small word is enough to change the attitude, whether it be “Love,” or, as this instrument prays often, “Jesus\index{jesus},” or any other short expression of truth. This is enough to feed\index{feed} the flame of balance within.\\ love-body.tex:3618:18: This, shall we say, balanced fire\index{fire} can pilot one emotionally. The fire is the fire of love\index{love}. This engine which moves the attitude is fueled by love. And this love comes into the painful emotional reactions and accepts that painful, twisted, knotted self. It also accepts just the same the times when you are not in pain\index{pain} but feel wonderful, and then the acceptance\index{acceptance} is that of the fond relative which sees the children\index{children} playing on the grass on a summer day and glows with the joy\index{joy} of it. You can be pleased with yourself, this is a good attitude. Just let yourself be equally pleased when you are having unlovable and unpretty reactions. Let your compassion\index{compassion} flow to yourself. This is the best attitude.\\ love-body.tex:3646:17: When this first vision of the self as being natural in its seeming imperfection is fully seated within your mind and heart\index{heart}, then you may begin to unravel the tangled thread of compassionate clarity that has become caught and twisted by the attempts you have made to escape your nature. Yes, each of you is quite pure, innocent\index{innocent} and untouched within the deepest portion of that which is you. Now you may focus on how the relationship\index{relationship} you have with the Creator, with your Higher Self and with your incarnation can inform and guide you well towards the shining source of that thread of pure compassion\index{compassion} which you wish\index{wish} to knit up into the fabric of your lives and relationships. This is a journey from head to heart, from fear\index{fear} to love\index{love}, from meekness to an acceptance\index{acceptance} of the eternal\index{eternal} untidiness of catalyst, perception and experience.\\ love-body.tex:3690:0: [overview] Group\index{group} question: The question today has to do with the balance one seeks to achieve between accepting what the universe or the life pattern of catalyst has given one in the way of experiences and people, and then balancing that with using these very same situations, the catalyst of a life experience, and manipulating them in such a way as to attempt at least to achieve the goals which we feel are important, the learning of lessons, the loving and acceptance\index{acceptance} of others and so forth. How do we balance accepting what the Creator and the life pattern has given us and using it to progress\index{progress} along the evolutionary path?\\ love-body.tex:3748:25: The verb to communicate is extremely important in this work. Allow heavy feeling to communicate, to become intelligible. Do not swat it away or cover it up. If time must pass before this acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self can take place, then that is well. But to most efficiently use the goodness of catalyst, the intensity and seeming reality of the nuances of this dark emotion need to be remembered and respected. This acts like a benediction. The suffering of self is thus forgiven by the self which respects these seemingly unacceptable feelings. This allows the energy in these feelings to resume the natural spiraling upward. Denial and resistance attempt to control and abate the suffering. Acceptance and attentiveness within the very darkness is a way to allow the self to be transformed naturally. You have often, perhaps, considered how the child is born\index{born} into incarnation in pain\index{pain}. Yet the mother\index{mother} is, in the end, totally accepting of this pain\index{pain}, for it has brought about a beloved new life.\\ love-body.tex:3773:58: Now when the self is engulfed in a difficulty, the heart\index{heart} is defended by thoughts like, “Not trouble\index{trouble} again. I can’t stand it. I can’t stand me.” One cannot storm those defenses, so one uses prayer\index{prayer}, song, praise and thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving}, which, unlike the prayer of the unworthy one, are focused upon the beautiful\index{beautiful}, the more real, the more true. To say in the midst of sorrow\index{sorrow}, “Thank\index{thank} you, O beloved Father/Mother. Praise you, O One Who is all,” may seem not only dishonest but irrelevant. But we suggest that you see that this is how the voice of the heart is reached. The direction of the thoughts is changed by the purified emotion taken on faith and expressed in the song, the praise, the thanks, the prayer. Thus, passion is restored to that great seat of purified emotion, purified emotion being the essence of wisdom\index{wisdom} as opposed to knowledge\index{knowledge}. The procedure, then, is to suffer\index{suffer}; to become aware of the suffering; to pay attention by spending the coin of time; to move purposefully into the prayer, praise, thanksgiving and song, which awakens the heart; to allow this energy to pour into the heart; to allow this potentiated healing\index{healing} energy to move into the relationship\index{relationship} which is the conscious focus of the suffering, and then to allow the healing of acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness to take place.\\ love-body.tex:3782:7: Now a life in faith may seem to demand the acceptance\index{acceptance} of some culturally chosen holy or worshipped individual such as the Buddha\index{buddha} or the one known as Jesus\index{jesus}. This is not so in that such ones as Buddha or Jesus the Christ\index{christ} spoke clearly to indicate that they were speaking not of themselves but of the mystery which the one known as Jesus called Father\index{father}, or more familiarly, Daddy. This Father/Mother Creator has sent each inspired and inspiring historical figure into a troubled world to bear witness to the light and the love\index{love} of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. The one known as Jesus said, “If you hear me, you hear not me but my Father who speaks through me.”\\ love-body.tex:3794:43: May you remain and abide in patient and persistent blindness, accepting and blessing each darkness, each fear\index{fear}, each sorrow\index{sorrow}, each suffering unto death\index{death}, that the work of creation may express through you the life of the self that is love\index{love}, in this moment and ever. May you through this process day by day so seat yourself in loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and faith that all is well, that Love itself may flow through you as light through the panes of the lantern, so that those about you may see this light and turn to this light within themselves. You are witnesses expressing in a world which has need of witnesses. What shall you witness? My friends, love one another and for the first time, rest. You are home.\\ love-body.tex:3817:26: I am Q’uo, and I am aware of your query, my sister. Eventually, within your total beingness, it is necessary that you understand\index{understand} each change so that the total spectrum of your experiences will have meaning and integrity. However, at this time, as you are in a midst of such change, it is not as important that you know the specific nature of the change as it is that you prepare yourself for change by opening your attitude and your heart\index{heart} to that which is being born\index{born} within you. You welcome a new being. This kind of change is that which occurs a number of times during the seeker\index{seeker}’s life experience. The conscious seeker will be more prepared to endure the rigors of change than the entity who is as yet still seeking in an unconscious or automatic fashion. Thus, it is important at this time to simply open the self in love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of all those difficulties you face, whether they are generated from without your being or from within your being, for in truth all that you perceive you personalize in a fashion which blends perceiver and perceived.\\ love-body.tex:3829:33: The first time I did the chelations on Carla and I had experienced this other time I felt an uncomfortable heat and I would visualize energy flowing, which at this point I’m not able to determine a pattern yet but I understand\index{understand} that that needs further working. The second time I attempted this chelation I removed myself from this attempt to find detail or find symptoms of what was occurring and I placed myself in a acceptance\index{acceptance} of what was occurring, utilizing love\index{love} as more of the energies that were flowing through me and more of the essence of myself slipping through me and what I experienced was less of the censuring but still an overall feeling that the healing\index{healing} was somewhat complete. love-body.tex:3838:131: I am Latwii\index{latwii}, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that there is no place which does not call for the type of healing\index{healing} of which you speak, for the sorrow\index{sorrow} and suffering and ignorance of the truth of unity within each is great upon your planet at this time. There are many who seek wholeness, and do not know that already they are whole. There are many who seek love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and do not know they are love, they are loved. There are many who exist within the illusion\index{illusion} and believe\index{believe} that the illusion as they perceive it is all that there is, and they call in their subconscious mind for an exit to the illusion however it can be found. And yet they are unaware that to look within the self is the exit into unity.\\ love-body.tex:3863:55: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The phrase, “Son of God\index{god},” or the phrase, “The Christed One,” are means of expressing the kind of consciousness available to those who have been able to open the green-ray energy center in sufficient degree to feel and experience this creative force\index{force} of love\index{love} that has made all that there is. This quality of consciousness or attitude of beingness is the goal or opportunity which is offered each third-density\index{third-density} entity as a means of passing from this illusion\index{illusion} to the fourth density\index{fourth density}, where the study\index{study} of this creative power of love is that which is the focus of all energy expenditure. Thus, the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} was able to offer itself as a model or pattern by which entities could move their own consciousness to a larger view in which the acceptance\index{acceptance} of self and others as one being was far more easily facilitated. love-body.tex:3922:37: I am Oxal. To judge the self is to place a bar against the love\index{love} of self, and if one is unable to love the self, that one is, then, it is difficult to love any other self, for the connection with each other self is unity. Thus, it is important that each seeker\index{seeker} discover that it contains not only what you may call the full array of human characteristics, both those thought of as acceptable and unacceptable, but the seeker must also discover that those portions of the self felt to be unacceptable are as acceptable as any other, for all are distortions of the one Creator set in motion that the one should know itself more fully with greater intensity and variety than would be possible should these distortions not exist. Therefore, it is to the seeker’s benefit to begin the process of self-knowledge that will eventually lead to self-acceptance.\\ love-body.tex:3980:41: Wisdom\index{wisdom} develops to understand\index{understand} the impermanence of all that arises. Ownership of that arising ceases. But without the love\index{love} or compassion\index{compassion} that grows out of acceptance\index{acceptance} of the human experience, such wisdom becomes sterile. Within such wisdom there can be desire\index{desire} to disassociate with the human catalyst. What you are learning, then, is to come to this meeting of the horizontal and vertical, this center of the cross, where compassion and wisdom meet.\\ love-body.tex:4011:100: One of the primary learnings of third density\index{third density} is faith. Sometimes your life hands you chaos, pain\index{pain}. The first impulse\index{impulse} is to say, “What am I doing wrong?” or, “Why me?” It is very hard to have faith. I am not suggesting blind faith that takes whatever is handed you with no respect\index{respect} for yourself. This is the thinking that leads into “doormatism,” if I may coin a word. This is not just blind acceptance\index{acceptance} which disempowers. Faith, on the contrary, true faith empowers because true faith comes from that part of you which cuts through the relative dualities of good and bad, right and wrong. True faith comes from that deeply connected core of your heart\index{heart}, and it is built on past experience of faith. It is built on wisdom\index{wisdom}, on looking back at this life and seeing that what you challenged with a bewildered, “Why?” turned out to have answers, turned out to be at times your greatest teacher\index{teacher}. It is that grounded faith which grows out of connection and of love\index{love} which enables you to deal with the bewilderment and occasional deep pain\index{pain} of your life, to cut through your war\index{war} with that pain and confusion\index{confusion} and take the next step. Put as simply as I can, if life never challenged you by offering you that which was difficult, how would you strengthen these muscles of faith? How would you practice faith without the catalyst which asks that of you?\\ love-body.tex:4042:73: Back to the child: It needs to be loved. That is its overriding need. So, it quickly picks up the messages, “What can I do to be loved? If I play your game, you’ll love\index{love} me?” That game varies from family to family. In the worse cases, the child must allow itself to be a recipient of real abuse, and the only way it can do that is by denying its own rage. It learns that its own rage runs contrary to its overriding need to be loved. How does it deal with that rage? If the child is right and expresses that rage, it casts itself out of the boundaries of the adult\index{adult}’s acceptance\index{acceptance}; therefore, the adult must be right.\\ love-body.tex:4043:74: Unworthiness becomes the tool by which a child suppresses the rage. It tells itself, “I deserved this abuse” because the alternative is unthinkable: “I did not deserve this abuse; therefore, this adult\index{adult} is wrong and I must contradict this adult, putting myself out of the reach of its acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.” The child simply lacks the strength\index{strength} to do that.\\ love-body.tex:4068:27: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister.

However, each entity must move in that fashion which brings it into closest harmony with the concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, for it is not clearly known within your illusion\index{illusion} where this point of truth resides, though each sees it with what seems to be a clear eye\index{eye}. Thus, it is not truth or wisdom\index{wisdom} which is of importance within your illusion, for they are concepts which are beyond your illusion. It is instead that which accepts the Creator in all faces and then does what it will in the face of love and with the motivation of love.\\ love-body.tex:4126:53: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Because of this confusion\index{confusion} and because of the importance of your decision in your own evolutionary journey, we must not infringe upon this choice and can only suggest that when you have prayed or meditated yourself to a point of loving acceptance\index{acceptance}, then the choice will become more apparent. love-body.tex:4145:0: [overview] A question about relationships this afternoon. We have noticed that people in relationships that seem to have the best time, to stay together the longest, and who enjoy\index{enjoy} each other the most are people who don’t let the little oddities of their partner’s behavior bother them all that much. Some people can actually get so upset over these little things that they divorce, and I guess that a lot of divorces come from the cumulative experience of a lot of little things that one can’t stand about the other. We are wondering what kind of transformation has to take place within the self for a person to move from where the little oddities in their partner’s behavior no longer bother one, and in fact become a lovable part of the other person’s image, and how does one move from the rejection of another to the acceptance\index{acceptance} of another and how does this happen within the self?\\ love-body.tex:4182:0: [overview] One way of progressing on the service-to-others\index{service-to-others} path is by biasing our balance and then balancing our biases. These biases are brought to our attention by our perception of events and offer catalyst for processing. Eventually one profits by seeing the Creator in all and radiating love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} in that reality. It appears that the construct of the mind is of such a nature that processing painful catalysts are engraved in the subconscious in a much firmer and more definite fashion than those learned by experiencing joy\index{joy} or happiness. Why did a loving Creator allow the constructs that learn\index{learn} more effectively with pain\index{pain} rather than with joy?\\ love-body.tex:4217:28: Each gaze within now. Look at the energies of what this instrument calls chakras: red\index{red}, orange\index{orange}, yellow\index{yellow}, green\index{green}, blue\index{blue}, indigo\index{indigo}, violet\index{violet}. Can you feel the difference in these energies’ balance within your being from the configuration that they were in when each arrived at this gathering? Perhaps each may see that the accepted\index{accepted} presence of each to each has been the support necessary to come into a new and more harmonized configuration of energies; not merely the higher centers, not only those gifts of heart\index{heart}, of communication and of work in consciousness, but also and equally those energies of survival, of self-to-self and of relationships one to another. Rejoice\index{rejoice}, then, in that golden net which grows daily upon your planet’s surface as those seeking to lighten the consciousness of the planet called Earth\index{earth} reach out to new entities, forming networks of networks which, in turn, may reach out to find more and more threads of this wonderful net to weave together until all of the sphere\index{sphere} upon which you enjoy\index{enjoy} life is wrapped and sheathed in an embrace of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ love-body.tex:4272:7: How painful it is to see that dark side of self, yet when this is seen, should the heart\index{heart} not rejoice\index{rejoice}, for this is a portion of a perfection. That perfection is shrouded in mystery. Why it is perfection to have both the virtue and the vice is a question forever unanswered except by internalized experience. It is difficult, indeed, to accept the whole self, to love\index{love} and nurture\index{nurture} that very self none other, none better\index{better}, or wiser, or sweeter, but that self at that moment. The acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self is perhaps the most difficult, and yet the most fundamental work in consciousness one can do, and you shall do it time and time again for there is no lack of opportunity to gaze into the mirror\index{mirror} of other selves and see the criminal mind at work.\\ love-body.tex:4273:8: Forgiving the self, accepting that self, in its imperfection and error as perceived by the self, is difficult precisely because the self knows what it is thinking at all times. The public speech often does not reflect the inner thoughts, yet these thoughts are, metaphysically speaking, real, valid and, as this instrument would say, “out there.” Simply because they are not spoken, much is preserved of harmony for other entities. However, within the self, there is much work to do to humble\index{humble} that self that does not want to have a dark side to the point that in all humility\index{humility} the self may say, “Dear, dear self, I do accept you and I want to nurture\index{nurture} you and love\index{love} you and comfort you.” This acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self is absolutely fundamental to work in consciousness and you shall be working on this one always, for the truth recedes infinitely directly in front of the gaze of the seeker\index{seeker}.\\ love-body.tex:4419:56: The mysterious nature of all the various kinds of lessons that aid in the overall increasing of the ability to give and receive love\index{love} have mystery as their salient feature in order that there be an effort necessary to penetrate to the essence the main foundation of each lesson. Thus, the effort that is necessary to deal with mystery involves many other kinds or qualities of being such as patience\index{patience}, perseverance, humor, joy\index{joy}, acceptance\index{acceptance} and so forth. love-body.tex:4458:62: When the two who have become infatuated continue the relationship\index{relationship} and begin the processing of the catalyst which is inevitable within any life pattern, the opportunities then arise for the love\index{love} to gain in strength\index{strength} and depth and richness and purity, for there will be many, many times in the processing of catalyst that one or the other or both entities will feel less than acceptance\index{acceptance} for the other and will need to find within the self the ability to accept that which was previously not acceptable; to forgive that within self and other self that which was unforgivable; to have compassion\index{compassion} for that which held little interest\index{interest} or perhaps even dislike.\\ love-body.tex:4459:63: Thus, the lessons of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} make themselves known within the relationship\index{relationship} born\index{born} of infatuation and with the faith that the relationship will endure and that meaning may be found for both within it and the will to persevere in finding that meaning and growth. Thus does each entity grow in acceptance and in love, and thus does the relationship do likewise, and thus is love strengthened by testing through catalyst that each brings to the relationship. Thus, the love which results is a love which has greater strength\index{strength} and depth and variety of experience, shall we say.\\ love-body.tex:4460:69: Yes. You’ve basically covered this, so please\index{please} answer briefly, but you seemingly place more importance upon the broader definition of love\index{love} which is compassion\index{compassion}, as I understand\index{understand} that as acceptance\index{acceptance} of people and situations and self as they are, allowing them room to grow in their own way. So for an entity who is attempting to develop love as we know it, probably the most expeditious way for them to do this would be for them to work on acceptance of others and themselves, and this is—I know this is something that I believe\index{believe} I know, but a simple yes or no would suffice.\\ love-body.tex:4461:70: I am Q’uo. This is basically correct, my brother, for within your illusion\index{illusion} of seeming separateness and limitation there is much which offers the challenge to be accepted\index{accepted}, much which seems traumatic, tragic and filled with sorrow\index{sorrow}, distaste horror, anger\index{anger}, jealousy and so forth. Yet, each entity and event is the Creator, knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress\index{progress} by finding the joy\index{joy}, the love\index{love} and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship\index{relationship}, then the relationship has served as the means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance\index{acceptance}, the love and the compassion\index{compassion} for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution.\\ love-body.tex:4625:24: The continuing beyond confusion\index{confusion}, beyond distraction, beyond the difficulties, is much likened to the tempering of the metal in a tool that gives it strength\index{strength}, burnishing it that it might shine brightly and continue in its service with a renewed strength because of the difficulty, confusion\index{confusion} and so forth. Thus, as you see the difficulty in motivating yourself to complete your meditations, this in itself is likened to a meditation\index{meditation} where the focus falters and moves from the one point so that it must again be returned with patience\index{patience} and love\index{love} to that one point. As you continue to accept the difficult portions of your journey and of your practices you will find that there is an underlying strength that you build. To persevere and persevere and persevere is perhaps the most common and at times difficult portion of any seeker\index{seeker}’s journey, yet to be aware that such is occurring within your own experience is an illustration of your own dedication upon another level. Thus, we can only recommend that you continue as you are with faith, with forgiveness, with acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ love-body.tex:4634:49: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query my brother. The phrase, "Son of God\index{god}" or the phrase, "The Christed One" are means of expressing the kind of consciousness available to those who have been able to open the green-ray energy center in sufficient degree to feel and experience this creative force\index{force} of Love\index{love} that has made all that there is. This quality of consciousness or attitude of beingness is the goal or opportunity which is offered each third-density\index{third-density} entity as a means of passing from this illusion\index{illusion} to the fourth density\index{fourth density} where the study\index{study} of; this creative power of Love is that which is the focus of all energy expenditure. Thus the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} was able to offer itself as a model or pattern by which entities could move their own consciousness to a larger view in which the acceptance\index{acceptance} of self and others as one being was far more easily facilitated. love-body.tex:4711:20: This willingness to take time to listen to another is in itself a service and we encourage each to open those inward ears that hear what that consciousness is saying upon the level of depth at which the self and the other are most truly expressing, for some request those things which seem fair but which, within the self, are found to be wanting and in those situations one serves best by turning to prayer\index{prayer} to find acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.\\ love-body.tex:4723:31: As you have observed previously this day it is difficult to be vulnerable. When one is wishing to give love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} in place of any conflict offered to the self, one is placing oneself in a vulnerable position, for there is not the attempt made to protect. To protect is the more common or natural response from entities who are working their way towards understanding. It is not easy, as you are well aware, yet it is always possible and it is for the possibility of such a breakthrough that such efforts are made.\\ love-body.tex:4933:21: So, as always, we recommend to each seeker\index{seeker} that perseverance can become one’s greatest ally when seeking tolerance and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self. Continue, my friends, for one never knows when that moment will come that will offer the turning point of the incarnation, the opening of new vistas, the filling of a heart\index{heart} that felt empty, and the movement of a point of view to a wider perspective that sees and experiences more and more compassion\index{compassion}, love\index{love} and acceptance from and for others, from and for the self, especially the self, my friends. Do not neglect to have compassion for yourself. May we assure you that each of you does indeed deserve it, and when you, yourself, are able to give it then you will find a new and risen being within your midst.\\ love-body.tex:4980:10: The one known to you as Jesus\index{jesus} was reared in a climate of what this instrument calls the Old Testament, the Ten Commandments, the Law\index{law} of Orthodoxy. This teaching was tempered by much mysticism, but when this entity began to teach others it suggested that all of the law\index{law} and all that the prophets had said could be replaced by loving the Creator and loving others as one loved oneself. One cannot become able to love\index{love} others unconditionally until one has forgiven the self. We encourage each to press on towards self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and that feeling that each day is a new one, each moment is a clean and untouched thing.\\ love-body.tex:5023:7: We are aware that each is quite familiar with the choice of service to self\index{service to self} or service to others\index{service to others} that is the foundation choice of this particular density. In addition to this choice of service there is a component which has to do with the purity or extremity of service. We have often called this aspect of the choice polarity\index{polarity}, for something can be chosen with a wide range of urgency, a wide spectrum of intensity of desire\index{desire}. There has been the puzzlement expressed in the conversation preceding our remarks concerning how one can truly be of service. The paradox is that when one is of service to others one is automatically serving the self, for that which is offered is returned a hundredfold. It seems clear that each other person is also the self, is also the Creator, and so serving others is serving self. Further, before one can be free to serve another, one must come into relationship\index{relationship} with the self, and the process of arriving at a love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self may seem very selfish and egotistical.\\ love-body.tex:5279:39: We would recommend, as we would in many such instances, that the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of the process is the first foundation stone to lay in the attempt to serve another entity. For if one is able to see that the difficulties shared in such a relationship\index{relationship} are also offering opportunities for the opening of the heart\index{heart}, each to the other, then the proper valuing of the experience may be appreciated. When one sees that such a relationship is sacred\index{sacred} in its nature and fertile in the possibility of producing the open heart, then it is possible to see the interrelationship of the entities as that which will eventually produce the desired\index{desired} opening of the heart. As one supports each in the process one may retire periodically to the meditative state to look more deeply at that which occurs in the daily round of activities, for those experiences which, shall we say, push the various buttons, each of the other, and result in the heated words, the hurt feelings, and the overall confusion\index{confusion} as regards the entire situation, one may begin to see a pattern in the relationship where there is the possibility of progress\index{progress} as each is able to accept what previously seemed unacceptable, each is able to love\index{love} what previously [was] seen as unloveable. The process of being able to see and accept more and more of the other self as whole and perfect allows the self to do the same with the self. For in each instance it is a process of learning that occurs within each individual entity and then is offered in love and service to the other. love-body.tex:5284:15: Thusly, we ask that whether you burst into angry\index{angry} speech, keep silence, find communication, or simply work with the self to lighten the mood, do these things with an eye\index{eye} to keeping the faith. What is it to live by faith but to look at a situation that seems hopeless\index{hopeless} and say, “I believe\index{believe} that all is well.” May we say that in our opinion this affirmation is one of the most powerful, enabling and ennobling of all learnings, of all expression, of all spiritual manifestation. The other is forgiveness. When you are looking at that part of your universal self that you do not wish\index{wish} to see—that is, when you are having difficulty with another entity—it may not seem possible for you to forgive that entity, and, by reflection, it may not seem possible for you to forgive yourself. And may we say further it is not possible to either forgive self or other self without a release of that self and an acceptance\index{acceptance} of help, for there is help at the core of your being waiting to be accessed, waiting to be asked. For the infinite\index{infinite} Creator in infinite love\index{love} and infinite patience\index{patience} sits in a humble\index{humble} chair in a little corner of your heart\index{heart} waiting to be called upon, waiting to be brought into the center of the heart, waiting to be noticed, waiting to be asked. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with deity and that Logos was deity, and that deity is Love, and that Love is you. At the heart of your being lie all the resources that you will ever, ever need. At the heart of your being lies infinite truth, infinite power, infinite strength\index{strength}.\\ love-body.tex:5368:10: If the way of wisdom\index{wisdom} contains a linear structure so that one can follow one’s processes and talk logically about them, it also holds the energy within the higher chakras or energy centers. Working with wisdom is not working with heart\index{heart} or with the lower energies but, rather, largely, the indigo-ray, and to some extent, the blue-ray energy centers. While it is good to do work in consciousness in this manner it is also somewhat imbalanced because there is no encouragement of the flow of energy through the system but, rather, the holding of energy in the higher chakras. Conversely, when one is working in the way of the open heart one is constantly faced with the entire spectrum of self, from the lowest and most primitive emotion, the desire\index{desire} for survival, the desire\index{desire} for sexual\index{sexual} reproduction\index{reproduction}, the desire for food\index{food} and safety, upwards throughout the system, touching all of the energy centers, rising as high as indigo\index{indigo} ray, but again and again springboarding from the heart. So that instead of the seeker\index{seeker} moving into and maintaining as a steady state reliance on the higher chakras, the seeker in the way of love\index{love} has released the preference for work in the higher energy centers and has accepted\index{accepted} the self as a full energy system and reconfigured the goal from staying in the higher energies to accelerating the flow of energy throughout the entire system. Instead of a safe but somewhat turgid and slow moving path of energy refinement the brother and sister of the open heart are attempting to take the whole self as it is and through blind faith alone and the processes of self-acceptance and self-forgiveness blessing, forgiving, redeeming, transforming and offering each and every emotion and sensation to the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator.\\ love-body.tex:5432:22: In this work the creative principle is used by the self, not to tear the self down or to judge the self, but, rather, to accept the self as it is, to balance the emotions that seem to be unbalanced by seeing their opposites, and then to integrate that whole range of being represented by that seeming negative emotion into the universal self that is the Creator. For you and the Creator are truly all that there is, and often much will be seen in the experience that is within that universal self along the lines of the dark side as perceived by the self. Thusly, will is honed by forgiveness as the self works on the self to come into self-acceptance, self-love, self-forgiveness, and self-worth.\\ love-body.tex:5459:18: However, beyond those attempts at restitution, it is essential to come into a state of forgiveness concerning that pattern which surrounded that particular mistake or error, to say to the self, not “You fool\index{fool}. You criminal. You have done something wrong.” But to say to the self, “That was wrong, and I am sorry. I will attempt to correct that error, but I love\index{love} the self that is trying to do the best that I can. And I love the self that is small and confused and feeling terrible.” For it is that kind of imbalance in energy that comes through into the physical body to create more and more illness. So when you are working at self-forgiveness and self-acceptance, you are working on the mental body, the spiritual body, the emotional body, and as the shadow\index{shadow} passes the sun, the physical body as well. Never doubt\index{doubt}, when you are doing this work, that it is a good work.\\ love-body.tex:5467:13: You asked about how the group\index{group} could offer to the individual an enhanced ability to have patience\index{patience} and we are sure that the question extends to other spiritual characteristics that are greatly desired\index{desired} and difficult to obtain within the illusion\index{illusion} of experience within the illusion of separateness. For faith, a sense of humor, persistence, and compassion\index{compassion} are certainly those qualities which are often sought but usually imperfectly found, and yet how blessed it is when the seeker\index{seeker} can find a moment of utter patience, utter humor, utter acceptance\index{acceptance}, or utter love\index{love}. And all of these streams of emotion flow through the channels of the deep mind in pure and undistorted vibrations, for they are part of what this instrument would call the default setting of the vibration of creation itself, the Logos of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator which is Love.\\ love-body.tex:5487:29: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. If this purpose were not already known to some degree by each of you we would not be able to speak, for we do not wish\index{wish} to infringe on the free will of any who seeks the path of his or her own evolution. However, since each of you is, shall we say, strongly suspicious\index{suspicious} of the path shared by each, we may say that that which you share together is a mutual awakening process that allows each of you to open your heart\index{heart} to the other and to develop that quality that you may call compassion\index{compassion}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, mercy, understanding, forgiveness, surrender\index{surrender} and acceptance\index{acceptance}. These are the qualities of the green-ray energy center, of the heart and are indeed the salvation of this illusion\index{illusion}. For each entity comes here to work in some degree upon the heart. This is the energy center through which connection with all the creation is possible, and as each of you moves through your daily round of activities, making those small adjustments each to the other in compassion and understanding, you continue this process that has been ongoing through the entire length of your relationship\index{relationship} and which shall be the strength\index{strength} and foundation as your relationship continues into what you call your future. There is much of understanding which each of you has developed for the other and for all other selves because of your relationship to each other.\\ love-body.tex:5488:30: The mated relationship\index{relationship} is one which has been called by some an ordeal, for in this relationship one comes face to face with those qualities that are strengths, that are weaknesses, that are latent, that are possible. One is face to face, in short, with one’s humanity, with that which enlivens your being and gives a vitality to your step, a purpose to your life and to the sharing that is possible also with others because of that which you have done with each other. Therefore, that which you undertake in this life is, in general and specific terms, the awakening of compassion\index{compassion} and the forming of that kind of relationship which can be seen to be ideal; that is to say, where the heart\index{heart} of each is opened not only to each but to all others as a result of the work that is at times difficult, that is always undertaken between the two of you. Thus, work done between the two of you is work which can benefit the entire planet, for as you are able to find harmony, love\index{love}, understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance} within the self so will you be able to find it within others as all others mirror\index{mirror} to you that which is the heart of your self. love-body.tex:5519:12: It is well to remember that all things come down to issues of love\index{love}, forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance} and release. In this particular instance where there is a desire\index{desire} to find closure in a relationship\index{relationship} without the advantage of communication from the other party, the largest issue is forgiveness. And it is not simply forgiveness of another self although this certainly is involved, but rather it is coming to see that that person is a part of the self which the self does not happen to be able to control. However, the self can control the emotions and the direction of thinking within the heart\index{heart}. It can determine for the self to release and forgive all shadows that appear to blot the beauty of another person at the soul level and to know that person again as that person has been known before, as perfect, without blot or blame or sin of any kind. For this is the true nature, not only of that person, but of the self and of all that is. Once that other entity has been released from its stricture within your heart, the remaining work of forgiveness lies within the self. For although the issue seems to have to do with another entity, in truth all things come back to the self, and the other self is not forgiven until the self has forgiven the self.\\ love-body.tex:5565:47: Though one may feel that such an image is a small thing compared to the immensity of the agony\index{agony} in your world today, we can assure you that when your inner world of spirit\index{spirit} is illumined by your free will choice with love\index{love} and light these thoughts are things, and this is more and more truly so as your planet moves into fourth density\index{fourth density} at this time, and this light and love goes where it is needed. And there is healing\index{healing}. And there is hope\index{hope}. And there is a direction that leads each into that unity with each other self upon this planet. The process may not be short. It may not be easy, but it is ever possible to those who have the faith and the will to persevere. All things are possible when entered into with love, acceptance\index{acceptance}, compassion\index{compassion}, humility\index{humility}, tolerance and the light touch. These are your allies, my friends, and each other heart\index{heart} in love [who is] joined with you in this great quest which you are upon ever more fully at this time in your planet’s history.\\ love-body.tex:5578:74: I am Q’uo, and we thank\index{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\index{circle} of seeking, and we can assure each that the Confederation\index{confederation} of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator has many emissaries present at this time observing the movement of your peoples from one concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{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\index{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. love-body.tex:5598:10: In the beginning, dealing with fears, it may be necessary to move slowly to allow the fear\index{fear} to be with you, uncomfortably so. Sitting with that, feeling that discomfort, creates within the seeker\index{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\index{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\index{heart} is very helpful. One thing fear greatly needs is a lack of ridicule and an honest respect\index{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\index{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\index{tangle} of energy that has been created by the fear. It is attempting to send you the energies of radiated love\index{love}, that which, according to your holy works and according to us, does cast out fear.\\ love-body.tex:5631:16: When you are expressing this nascent fourth-density\index{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\index{love} with each other on the fourth-density level which is very heartening and very healing\index{healing} for both entities, and we encourage each to attempt in all relationships to move from a point of fourth-density love, acceptance\index{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\index{accepted}, in order to feel that it has been honored. And then, when it has been honored and there has come a peace\index{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\index{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.\\ love-body.tex:5657:8: For you see, to come into an acceptance\index{acceptance} of the she-wolf that runs with you, to come into an acceptance of the liar whose dazzling footsteps dance one out of trouble\index{trouble}, to love\index{love} that self that is able to aim, group\index{group} at three inches, and polish off a target at twenty yards that happens to be a human that is attempting to cause damage to a loved one... This instrument has certainly experienced the feelings of a murderer when a loved one was apparently struck and perhaps killed. There is no length of time between the sight of someone that needs defense in the mind of the perceiver and the feelings of murder. And it is a pure, clean, crisp and powerful emotion, not unlike anger\index{anger} but with deadly intent. Would any say that this instrument had an unintegrated murderer within her? No. And yet it is in this instrument’s inner thoughts that she does indeed have a murderer alive and well and living in the hospitality of the temple\index{temple} of the body, the mind, and her spirit\index{spirit}. And so each contains all that there is, and within your density the very fabric of your illusion\index{illusion} is very much the ying and the yang, the give and the take, and it is a great achievement indeed when that dark side of self is seen as an asset by the self and as that she-wolf bares its fangs and seems to come at one as a werewolf, as a predator, as one that wants to tear out the heart\index{heart}, that is when you embrace that she-wolf and know that that is your powerful, brave heart that is capable of anything but that chooses to be your she-wolf, to be your totem, to be your seeker\index{seeker} of truth that prowls in dreams and comes back with news of elsewhere.\\ love-body.tex:5668:18: The processes of linear thought shall continue to work as they have for third-density\index{third-density} entities for millennia. But the value of communication never remains at the level of problems solved and information shared. The value of communication lies in the reception of each by each in such a way that each is a helper to each. Each is a supporter and encourager to each. When communication finds ways to embrace this realization of the preciousness of each other then that which is communicated enters into the mutual systems of the two in a far more enhanced way which is very powerful in deep, subconscious levels of connection. For you see, what you are actually doing in communicating betwixt each other is creating connections of a certain kind. The hoped-for result of communication for those who are service-to-others\index{service-to-others} oriented is an energy exchange which is helpful to both parties. It is this particular instrument’s opinion that when she responds to a request for help from someone who assumes that she is a teacher\index{teacher}, what she is actually doing is not sharing information so much as sharing love\index{love}. And it is in the acceptance\index{acceptance} of that other self, the honoring and respecting of that other self, that the communication begins to have real worth, not simply in what is said, but in the energy that runs beneath the words.\\ love-body.tex:5770:41: I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As we mentioned previously, this is the time of harvest, the time of the change of cycles for not only each entity upon this planet but for the planet itself. For all move in the upward spiraling line of light as if in accordance with the hands of a clock striking the hour of change. The time grows short. There is much work yet to do. This planet has for many of your millennia suffered the difficulties of factions warring one against the other. This anger\index{anger} of war\index{war} and bellicose action has seeped as heat into the crust\index{crust} of the planet, heat which must be released. Each entity, as well as the planet itself, is therefore asked in the spiritual sense to take a larger share of the ability to transmute this heat and anger\index{anger}. Those who have no firm foundation of spiritual seeking or outlet of sharing in a metaphysical manner take this extra share of energy and transfer it as anger. Thus, those who are aware of the change occurring upon the planetary and the cosmic level which reaches into each individual heart\index{heart}, do well to see in their meditations and their prayers hearts that begin to open, minds that begin to open, arms that begin to open, so that there is acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion} and forgiveness, in place of competition and anger, confusion\index{confusion} and ignorance. Therefore, we recommend most heartily that the prayers and visualizations be added to you meditations in order to aid other entities in their attempt to open their hearts, which is the purpose for each entity here on the planet at this time. Some are more, shall we say, effective, more able to do this than others. Those who are able to open their hearts first then teach others by example and in their meditations. love-body.tex:5845:7: Not all things in life are requirements as far as the school\index{school} of living is concerned. As a classroom, the curriculum of Earth\index{earth} is simple: it is love\index{love}. There are lessons in how to love, in how to accept love from others. These lessons may have to do with loving without expectation of return or, in many cases, learning to accept love without expectation of debt or guilt. As the one known as J has pointed out, it is often far easier to serve and to love without expectation of return than to accept the love offerings of others as a worthy and honorable person. The lesson of acceptance\index{acceptance} of love is keyed, therefore, to those who are dealing with exceptional clarity in seeing the landscape of their own imperfection. Consequently, that entity which is working upon opening the heart\index{heart} to being worthy of love is also working upon lessons that are linked to the distortion of feeling unworthy. The service of the inner type, as each in this group\index{group} is aware, is the more central service, since it works upon the soul of the planet, the soul of the entity, and the soul of the group entity that is the self and those other selves that are even now becoming more and more able to form the basic structure of trust and sharing that is the foundation for fourth-density\index{fourth-density} shared memory.\\ love-body.tex:5855:0: [overview] Question from S: The first question today is, “I feel like I’m living simultaneously in two worlds, both with opportunities to love\index{love} and serve and both lined with fear\index{fear} and “what if’s.” I feel right in the middle of both worlds, being pulled more and more, not able to discern. In each world, my indecision and neutrality are seemingly causing others some pain\index{pain} and distress in different ways. I’ve been thinking of R and how she went with N. “Your people shall be my people and your God\index{god}, my God,”1 and the possible benefits [to] my husband and symbolically to the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} Earth\index{earth} coming into being [stemming from] that sort of unconditional decision, even to the point of intense sacrifice\index{sacrifice} and standing firm in the open heart\index{heart} and unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance}. I’ve been consciously sending love and light through my hands and heart—not mine but the Creator’s—and I don’t know if this helps. I’m wondering if there’s something more that can be consciously done to help serve.\\ love-body.tex:5879:29: Behold the self as it is: an outer defense system of clay, bone, flesh and blood; an inner network of feeling, and, within that feeling, an inner network of truth, and within that truth, an inner network of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. May you rest in that tabernacle whenever there is suffering within your life, and may you rock\index{rock} the child within. Protect that spiritual self with your love\index{love}, with your compassion\index{compassion}, with your acceptance\index{acceptance} of the suffering that is going on, placing it all within the loving arms of that Presence that rests within the tabernacle of the heart\index{heart}.\\ love-body.tex:5992:42: We thank\index{thank} you and want to remind you that you are loved more than you could ever possibly imagine, bearing in mind always that it is yourself that seeks this love\index{love}. What you feel, of God\index{god} being abandoned from you, is truly the sense of God in the self that wants so dearly for you to reunify. It is that loneliness that you then project onto the others around you and seek their acceptance\index{acceptance} fittingly. Whereas indeed, if you can find that peace\index{peace} that knows no boundaries within one’s self, all others will, by their very nature, be correspondingly resonant with higher aspects of the conscious self and in so doing heal the apparent indiscretions that have persisted in what you would think of as the past. Thus by transforming oneself the holographic reconstruction of one’s external environment is made complete. And by extrapolation we are referring to your grid, and [the] Earth\index{earth} at large.\\ love-body.tex:6042:16: The time is such that until far beyond the end of each of your incarnations, experiences shall be very intense, for the energies of change have begun long ago and are now in full swing and move towards a conclusion that is not a moment in time precisely, and yet there is a point at which your planet shall be fourth-density\index{fourth-density} positive and those who are within third density\index{third density} upon the planet shall only be able to endure and remain within the planetary atmosphere because they have begun living and thinking in a fourth-density-compatible manner. So the third thing that we would say, concerning responding to change, is to ask yourself, “If I were in fourth density, how would I perceive this situation?” As the one known as Ra\index{ra} has said to this group\index{group} before, “Where is the love\index{love} in this moment?” This is the thinking of fourth density. It is that thinking that assumes total acceptance\index{acceptance} of all beings, total equality of all soul streams, total oneness with everyone, and an inability not to harmonize. When one, as a third-density self, feels the disharmony, one may be aware that one is simply living and thinking and reacting according to the illusion\index{illusion} of third density. We ask that you consider this as one of two choices\index{choices}. One of indeed infinite\index{infinite} choices! But the other choice that we would recommend is that choice of moving into the sacred\index{sacred} region of the heart\index{heart}. For the heart has never left the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} of the one infinite Creator that exists within first density\index{first density}, second density\index{second density}, third density, fourth density, fifth density\index{fifth density}, and so on. Third density is that density wherein the mind portion of the body/mind/spirit complex is veiled. The body is not veiled; the spirit\index{spirit} is not veiled: the mind is veiled. This is simply to produce the ability to experience this process of change, this feeling of chaos, this experience of illusion, of disillusion and recombining and creating the self as one goes. We do not have, in higher densities, that privilege. Consequently we can not work vividly, quickly and effectively to retune or to rebalance our energies. Rather, we are refining the choices already made.\\ love-body.tex:6215:59: In dealing with this catalyst, when one is able to bring love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} to the process, is it part of the lessening of the over-activity of the antennas that you have mentioned? love-body.tex:6248:3: The query that you ask this day is at the heart\index{heart} of the movement from your present third-density\index{third-density} world and experience to the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} world of love\index{love}. You dwell at this time in a density that is attempting to learn\index{learn} what it is to love unconditionally. In the next density, the density of love and understanding, the atmosphere is one of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. It may seem to be paradise, standing in third density and thinking about living in unconditional love. And certainly, relatively speaking, it is paradise to dwell consciously in the atmosphere of total acceptance\index{acceptance}. However, the interplay betwixt love and fear\index{fear} continues in fourth density as the shadows, those shadows that you now experience in third density, are penetrated. That dynamic continues because, as light is brought into the darkness, it reveals more subtle patterns of shadow\index{shadow} and light, so that the dynamic continues and deepens. As you move forward in the process of spiritual evolution, you will find yourself continuing to uncover areas that were previously unknown to you within the very complex pattern of your total personality. So this is not a question that will go away as you learn more. It is a question that will deepen and intensify, for there is no end to the mystery of this dynamic between love and fear.\\ love-body.tex:6379:36: The one known as R2 said that he distinctly remembered reading many times that we have said it is the questions that you ask that are truly valuable rather than the answers which you receive. Let yourself be curious\index{curious}. Let yourself ask. Be bold. For you see, what you are trying to burn through is the numbness and the resistance that you have learned to defend yourself by using in your daily life. You want to get to that place where you are in the default setting and yet you are kept from it by the cotton wool that you have battened in order to protect yourself. Wonderful is that moment when you blow it all away with the true wine of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} so that you are in full body contact with yourself, your essence, and who you really are. These are times to be prized, remembered and found again and again.\\ love-body.tex:6388:34: You are not alone and you are not “part of the group\index{group}.” You are a cell in the body of the Creator which is manifested at this time upon the surface of your planet. You have very special gifts. You are a specialized cell. Some of you are healers, some of you are communicators, and some of you are those who love\index{love}. There are as many specializations as there are parts of the body and it is a very complex body. But you are doing what you are doing as part of that body and you do not know what effect you may have outside of your own sphere\index{sphere} of awareness. Yet we assure you that no loving acceptance\index{acceptance} that you are able to achieve of yourself stops with yourself. It echoes, as the pebble into the pond, to the very edges of that pond.\\ love-body.tex:6402:43: Let us look first at the opening of the heart\index{heart} chakra and all that it entails. Basically, the opening up of the green-ray chakra or the heart chakra is a tremendous job. It involves much more than simply the opening of the heart, for there is a two-fold opening of that heart. The first opening is simply the lifting of all concerns into the heart. There are many issues concerning survival and personal relationships, as well as group\index{group} relationships such as marriage and the workplace, within which many people get stuck. And [so they] never bring these issues up into the heart. You, my brother, long ago began to do so and through the years you have penetrated the first heart, that outer temple\index{temple}, shall we say, and moved into the inner temple of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. You have brought more and more of your whole self into that inner temple. However, my brother, we would say that you have not brought all of your self into that inner temple as of yet. It is the parts of yourself that are as yet unredeemed by your love\index{love}, your compassion\index{compassion}, and your full acceptance\index{acceptance}, that are creating for you at once an under-energizing and an over-activation of the blue-ray chakra. These are two separate concerns and so we would look at them one at a time.\\ love-body.tex:6582:36: Nor is she overly concerned that ridicule or scorn of her would make any difference in her ability to love\index{love} the entity who is scorning her. She has earned the right to her opinion. She dares much in attempting to express, awkwardly and in this shadow\index{shadow} world, an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} and love.\\ love-body.tex:6697:25: We would take a step back from gazing specifically at you, my sister, and simply talk about the way it feels to experience unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. Visualize, if you will, approaching the door to your heart\index{heart}, to that inner sanctum in which is safety, acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion}.\\ love-body.tex:6942:23: We are not encouraging you to find some method of teaching this child. On the other hand, we would ask you to be quite responsive to any questions or comments shared by the child with you. Such expressions are your invitation to tell your stories, share your wisdom\index{wisdom}, and embrace the child in an atmosphere of acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.\\ love-body.tex:6966:19: When one becomes a spiritual teacher\index{teacher}, the subject matter of the class becomes less important [and] the character and nature of the teacher becomes more important. There are practices of Buddhists and Hindus, for instance, in which the entire learning experience of the guru or the teacher and the chela or the student is conducted in silence. The teacher sits and rests in his essence. Within the essence, there is affection, compassion\index{compassion} and all the gifts of the spirit\index{spirit} which have been granted to this teacher. Implicit in his silent meditation\index{meditation} [are] his acceptance\index{acceptance}, true love\index{love}, and all of the environment which points the student toward his own essence. It is as if the teacher is a star, twinkling in the night sky, that by its clarity and lucidity of essence creates in the student the ability also to become such a star, twinkling, lucid and clear.\\ love-body.tex:7038:31: What the feminine offers is the inspiration from spirit\index{spirit}. That is the other portion of that male expression of strength\index{strength}, power and virility. The woman is expressing acceptance\index{acceptance}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, and the energy of the Creator Itself. For you see, the woman, unlike man, is possessed of a direct route or connection to the womb of, shall we say, Mother\index{mother} Nature or the red-ray energy of planet Earth\index{earth}.\\ love-body.tex:7087:40: Have you created an affectionate, compassionate, sweet world in which your soul may bloom? Or have you brought down the blight of intolerance, prejudice and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of injustice and lack of love\index{love}?\\ love-body.tex:7170:52: We are aware that the one known as S was asking about how to work to increase the strands of DNA that are the basic wiring that allows this crystal being that you are to accept and radiate a light of ever increasing density. And we would say to the one known as S that it is in that profound acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self, that coming to love\index{love} the self and rest within one’s skin in utter peace\index{peace} without giving oneself difficulties without doubting the self, that this transformation of the very cells of your body will take place.\\ love-body.tex:7173:55: So the fourth density\index{fourth density} values are those of compassion\index{compassion}, acceptance\index{acceptance}, support, encouragement and resting in love\index{love}, in all that you see and all that you think. By the time it comes to the doing of things, you are set in your course and your actions shall be those that are imbued with a genuinely heartfelt\index{heartfelt} love. love-body.tex:7367:35: And yet, that creative impulse\index{impulse} dwells within all. It is part of being part of the Creator. Each entity is a sub-creator. Each entity has magical ability. Each entity through faith and will can change his world. But there is such a deep acceptance\index{acceptance} of consensus reality in many that there is no potential outlet for creative expression in the sense of original creativity, although you may see the creative impulse moving through any entity’s life in a collection of Barbie Dolls arranged just so, or a beautifully decorated Christmas tree\index{tree}, or meals that are prepared with love\index{love}, or children\index{children} that are raised with genius.\\ love-body.tex:7380:34: Sacred\index{sacred} sexuality begins with a person’s willingness to become magical. To be able to experience sacred sexuality, a seeker\index{seeker} must release those thoughts of himself which limit him. He must find it within himself to accept himself just as he is and to fall in love\index{love} with himself, casting aside all thought of self-improvement or self judgment. The beginning of the seeker’s transition to the magical personality is his total acceptance\index{acceptance} of himself as he is.\\ love-body.tex:7600:57: Q’uo, here’s a question from G2, who says: “I had such an emotional experience during the inauguration of Barack Obama! All the things that we desired\index{desired} for a new world seem to have been manifested—love, acceptance\index{acceptance}, etc. There was an unusual energy. I would like to hear from Q’uo what their experience was like from their vantage point. Was there a major shift, an acceleration of our spiritual progress\index{progress}? There was so much crying with joy\index{joy} and relief on my end.”\\ love-body.tex:7635:17: Thusly, it is to the heart\index{heart} the seeker\index{seeker} shall most beneficially turn, walking through the outer courtyard of the heart and gathering all of his humanity in order that he may lay it down in the inner sanctum of the heart in which he may tabernacle with the infinite\index{infinite} One. There is surcease there from the ways of the world. There is release from the tyranny of the mind. There is acceptance\index{acceptance} of all of the imperfect-seeming self by a love\index{love} so great that it has called you and the creation into being.\\ love-body.tex:7925:23: Now, that shows up in a different guise for everyone. It is not that you mean to wear the mask, or to don the costume, but it is impossible to express your true self, which is unconditional love\index{unconditional love}. Each of you has ways of presenting the self to the selves about you, that you have learned—sometimes painfully—work for you. That’s all right. You do not have to change your behavior. If you change your thoughts to those of love\index{love} and laughter, acceptance\index{acceptance}, compassion\index{compassion} and understanding, your behavior will take care of itself.\\ love-body.tex:7945:58: This is not an exercise in any kind of judgment. It is an exercise in acceptance\index{acceptance}, love\index{love}, blessing and inclusion. It is in no sense a punishment. Rather it is the nudge of spirit\index{spirit} encouraging the entity with a listening heart\index{heart} to attend to the unseen portions of his walk in faith.\\ love-body.tex:8117:23: A little act of loving acceptance\index{acceptance}, that is the key. One act of acceptance opens a small door—and this door leads on to another, which may be opened again by acceptance. And in this way, acceptance builds upon acceptance, and little by little those afflictions which one has built up, those difficulties one has stored away, become healed. A healing\index{healing} heart\index{heart} is a heart which begins to show the ability to reach out into the world in a way that heals also that world.\\ love-body.tex:8124:11: This imprisoned self, however, is not without resources of its own. Over and over again it will make an effort, over and over again it will look to find those little apertures in the incrustation around it which will give it life, and which will let the light of the world flow in even as the inward light of the self begins to flow outward. With every additional act of acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self, the crust\index{crust} begins to thin so that, over time, when this process is consciously empowered, eventually the crust may become thin enough that it no longer holds the heart\index{heart} in a constricted space, and the heart is allowed to expand and to inform the world with its love\index{love}. When the heart reaches outward to the world in love, the world is reflected back as love, lovingly, and heart then begins to sing that song which is its native tongue, so to speak.\\ love-body.tex:8125:15: The heart\index{heart} is the organ of acceptance\index{acceptance}. It opens the gateway to a world which is loving at its core, but we will say that there are, in this love\index{love}, many layers of what you experience as emotion, and the emotion does not always seem immediately to be of a loving nature or to be of the nature of that which encourages a further opening of the heart.\\ love-body.tex:8127:33: Use the responses of family, friends, and so forth to further enrich the heart\index{heart} center activity so that there is a kind of priming of the pump, shall we say, no pun intended. Then you are able to feel the flow beginning in the heart center so that there is the automatic response within this center to your daily round of activities. When you see or hear a situation that, as one might say, tugs at the heart strings, allow the heart its response. That which perhaps has been neglected or repressed in past experience, allow it to come forward and to be able to share this burgeoning energy of acceptance\index{acceptance}, of love\index{love}, within your own being before another being or situation. Your world, my friends, has many such situations easily accessed through your news media, if necessary. However, we are also quite sure that each entity has within its own realm of personal experience those areas that could benefit by receiving the love offerings of your heart center.\\ love-body.tex:8215:11: Ask for assistance, you have guides\index{guides}, friends, teachers ... there is the Holy Spirit\index{holy spirit}, there is the One Creator ... you are surrounded by entities who are willing to help, but they must be asked. Ask, and then let that energy of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of compassion\index{compassion} flow through you so that you may imbue all that you do with it.\\ love-body.tex:8226:4: So how can the concept of love\index{love}, then, that which you see as the open-hearted sharing of compassion\index{compassion} and understanding, of acceptance\index{acceptance}, be able to protect one, shall we say, to heal one? In essence, these are two facets of one ability of the concept of love that moves from the green-ray energy center within each being who has opened the heart\index{heart} in the giving and receiving of love. When you love, you are awakening this same quality in entities around you, in the forces of nature, shall we say, that also surround you. If you can open your heart in the ability to love those entities, those experiences, and those qualities of yourself that you see reflected to you by all around you, then you are creating a vibration not only in your own heart and your own being, but a vibration which moves outward to those that are in your vicinity, those that are in the direction of your will, of your being, of the nature of who you are. There is a sympathetic vibration then set up so that the love that you feel for others is reflected back to you from them, for love speaks to itself, your love and their love is one love. This love, then, if you direct it to do so, may provide you with a kind of vibratory shield, shall we say, that allows in only other qualities of love that you may be desirous of experiencing in the form of protection or of healing\index{healing}. For each of you has chosen those experiences within your incarnation, and have chosen them previous to the incarnation in order that you might be able to discover more of the nature of love as it exists within your being, and as it can exist as you move further and further into the spiritual journey, into the reunification with the One Creator that you see all about you.\\ love-body.tex:8243:13: The more you are able to discover within even those situations which give difficulty, even those situations which tend\index{tend} to elicit from you a rejection—a feeling of being hurt, a feeling of anger\index{anger}, a feeling of hate—even these we say, can, if allowed to develop into a deeper sense of love\index{love} which one does achieve through acceptance\index{acceptance}, suggest that the catalyst that has been on offer is indeed serving its function well. We would say to you that catalyst that is allowed its play in such a way that it inspires you to response is catalyst that is properly received, and you should not despise your inspiration in the response that you come to in relation to your catalyst, which can often take the form of seeking to improve the circumstances of your life, in seeking to improve the circumstances of the lives around you, and in seeking to improve the conditions of the social\index{social} complex of which you are a part. All of those activities which reflect the inspiration to betterment, the inspiration to expression of love, the inspiration to a resolve to heal—all of these are indications of a good and proper use of catalyst.\\ love-body.tex:8249:4: You ask how to make the seeking of love\index{love} possible in those situations in which it is not obviously present to the outward eye\index{eye}. This, my friends, is a very good question for each of you and for us to consider, for most of the illusion\index{illusion} which you inhabit does not appear to contain much of that quality which you call love. And this is not by accident, my friends, it is by design. For each of you took part in the design of this illusion. That part of you which is the one Creator, which resides within all of the creation, has fashioned this illusion in such a way that the quality of love, of total acceptance\index{acceptance} of another, of giving the energies of your being to another freely without expectation of return, are hidden within each portion of this creation in order that in some way, and at some time, those entities such as yourselves that are taking their existence now here, in this illusion, may learn\index{learn} certain lessons related to love by finding it through their own efforts—those efforts which are put forward each day as you go about your daily round of activities.\\ love-body.tex:8287:41: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. The one known as St. Francis had a history in previously incarnations as that which one might call “the monk,” which he continued within the incarnation in which he composed the prayer\index{prayer} of which you speak. His experiences throughout various of his previous incarnations in the mountains of Peru, gave him the opportunity to see how the various qualities of the illusion\index{illusion} are so easily accepted\index{accepted} by the masses of the population so that there would be a great release of bound-up energy of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, shall we say, if one could indeed balance the darkness with the light, the sadness with the joy\index{joy}, the despair\index{despair} with hope\index{hope}, the injury with healing\index{healing}, and so forth. Thus, many experiences within this entity’s incarnational history gave it the inspiration to compose this poem that is such a succinct description of the possibility of forgiveness within this illusion—forgiveness for each heart\index{heart} that seems to have strayed from love, forgiveness of the self that has followed such straying, and forgiveness of all who have harmed any other self. For in forgiveness stops the wheel of karma\index{karma}, and karma plays such a great and inexorable role in the journeys of so many entities upon your planet at this time—karma from previous incarnations and planets and illusions. love-body.tex:8298:33: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, there are labor pains occurring across the planet as a whole, for each time there is a group\index{group} of people, shall we say, the immigrants from the Middle East, that suffer\index{suffer} the difficulties within their own country, the bombings, the terrorizing, the killing of those who do not agree with the prevailing point of view—any time there is a pain\index{pain} or anguish\index{anguish} of this nature, you may see it as equivalent to a labor pain\index{pain}. Whether it is entities who are being discriminated against in another country for their race, their sex\index{sex}, their political beliefs, their religious tenants, these also produce a pain that could be seen as a labor pain. Any time there is a disharmony in any group or individual that has the lack of love\index{love}, the lack of understanding, the lack of acceptance\index{acceptance} of such an entity, it produces a pain of a mental nature, a spiritual nature, an emotional nature, a physical nature. All these pains at this time could be likened to the labor pain of your Mother\index{mother} Earth\index{earth}, for you and she are one, you are made of her, she is your mother, she is birthing that which is your child. The relationship\index{relationship} between all of you is that of oneness, is that of unity. Such pain is felt by all at some level, perhaps not consciously, perhaps not mentally, most usually in the spiritual sense so that within the meditative state you may tune into the level of pain that is occurring upon the planet if you are willing and strong enough to feel and empathize with such pain, perhaps a small degree would be enough, to reveal to you the nature of such a mass experience of pain upon the mother to all. love-body.tex:8333:5: You wish\index{wish}, in many cases, to improve your appreciation of compassion\index{compassion}, of love\index{love}, of understanding. These are all facets of the same quality, my friends. And how do you do this? May we say first of all you do not program more love, more compassion—you program the opposite, my friends, you program the lack of compassion, the lack of love, the lack of understanding, the lack of sympathy\index{sympathy}, for by so doing, you set into motion within your own soul’s being the desire\index{desire} to solve these riddles; anger\index{anger} being one of the great riddles of your illusion\index{illusion}; anger\index{anger} being that which is not possible in the higher densities, for only unity, joy\index{joy}, peace\index{peace} and understanding are possible there. But here, in your third-density\index{third-density} illusion, it is possible to experience anger, for it is possible to see one as separate from another self and to feel an emotion that is not love for another self, or perhaps even for the self, for your anger may be pointed in any direction. For the conscious entity who is aware of the process of seeking within the third-density illusion, if there is the desire\index{desire} to achieve more love, more compassion, [then] the lack of that love and compassion—in the form of anger, or non-acceptance of other selves, or irritation, or impatience, whatever form your anger may take—is pointed toward yourself.\\ love-body.tex:8335:10: So as you look from a distance and see the Creator experiencing itself, for the moment that you are no longer attached to that image and that experience, you feel love\index{love}, you feel compassion\index{compassion}, you feel understanding, you feel acceptance\index{acceptance}, and then you move again, placing yourself in the role in which the anger\index{anger} has been experienced, and you lose that distant perspective, you lose the knowledge\index{knowledge} of the Creator experiencing itself, and this is not a bad thing, my friends—this is why you came here, this is what this illusion\index{illusion} offers you. Do not feel bad that you have what you call anger\index{anger} or other distortions. These are the methods by which you learn\index{learn} what you wish\index{wish} to learn. When you are experiencing such catalyst know in your heart\index{heart} and in your soul you are doing what you came to do.\\ love-body.tex:8364:26: The key to healing\index{healing}, the key to bringing into balance the two dimensions which are essential to your process of evolution at this time is acceptance\index{acceptance}. This acceptance must begin precisely where it currently finds itself, and that is, you first of all must accept that there is an imbalance, and you must allow that imbalance its sway long enough to begin to love\index{love} that energy which has felt itself to be pushed out from its center. To reject that energy in its current configuration is merely to create a circumstance in which action will continue to play upon reaction and no genuine healing will be able to take place. And yet, we would say that the commitment to healing will yield, little by little, a greater integration, and the greater the integration, the less one of the polarities will be pushed to the periphery, the more it will be brought in to the center. And the more that does happen, the more the distortions that have come to characterize your relations between the sexes will, indeed, begin to fall away.\\ love-body.tex:8375:15: But, there is not a template that you can put over all catalyst to give you the roadmap to what is negative and what is positive. In general, if you feel that in your response, you are able to experience and express the open heart\index{heart}, you are on fairly safe ground we feel. But the open heart is a most elusive phenomenon, because you can set out to express hope\index{hope}, joy\index{joy}, and love\index{love}, and yet find that the very qualities which you have consciously embraced and have sought to bring to expression are received in a way that either rejects these qualities, or rejects your particular expression of them. And now what do you do, my friends? How do you respond to this rejection. Do you respond by rejecting the rejection, or do you respond by further accepting the catalyst that the one you have engaged with has to offer you? This can be tricky terrain, my friends, for you do well to know something about yourself while traveling these winding roads. For example, it may be that you will encounter a limit to your capacity to express and sustain positivity in an interaction, and under these circumstances, it can be well, politely to withdraw. It may be that you feel up to the task of taking upon yourself the role of one who absorbs the negativity offered by another and transmutes that negativity to positive effect, so that your response does not seem to be a rejection, but seems rather to be an acceptance\index{acceptance} of what the other has felt the need to express. In the case of the other with whom you have essentially a loving relationship\index{relationship}, this process can prove to be very helpful for both parties. In the case of the other with whom there is not a baseline effect of trust, this process can be baffled in its root. And so, we would not deny that there are occasions where the better\index{better} part of wisdom\index{wisdom} is to keep your own counsel. We will not deny that there are cases in which the better part of wisdom is to mind your own energies such that you are able to keep them in balance in reserve for those occasions in which they might be deployed in a manner that has promise in your best ability to ascertain.\\ love-body.tex:8376:17: When you feel you are balanced and clear and gathered together sufficiently so that you have an energy to bring to the world in a balanced and clear fashion, then you may sally forth into the energies of your social\index{social} complex with that gift which you have most preciously to offer, which is the gift of your open heart\index{heart}, and in an open-hearted giving, you are also accepting of what comes back to you. As we say, this energy that will come back to you will be of many different and complex hues and arrangements of entangled energies. It is almost as if these energies will be specifically designed to throw you off, and throw you off they will again and again. The doughty seeker\index{seeker}, however, will, having been thrown off, take this not as a rejection, not as something to be fought, not as something to be destroyed, but as a gift, as an offer of an opportunity to reach to a level and dimension\index{dimension} of acceptance\index{acceptance}, reach to a level and dimension of positivity, reach to a level and dimension of love\index{love} not yet discovered within yourself. When this discovery has been made, and when the fruits of this discovery have been through the slow work of meditation\index{meditation}, of outreach, and of simple loving seated in the depths of your being, you will then find that you have to offer a deeper and greater gift to a very, very hungry\index{hungry} world.\\ love-body.tex:8394:7: Thus, in meditation\index{meditation} you may ask yourself, “What must I do this day with my daily allotment of prana, of intelligent energy, of the inspiration of the One Creator?” And begin by these meditations to discover a pattern that exists within your energy centers, whether it be of your relationship\index{relationship} to one other entity; your relationship to a group\index{group} of entities; your relationship to the entire Creation; your ability to give acceptance\index{acceptance} and freedom and inspiration to all those about you; your very being contact, shall we say, with the Creator within, perhaps in the form of your higher self, of your mind/body/spirit complex totality. These are means by which you may look upon your energy centers as areas of inclination, areas of interest\index{interest}, areas of expression, areas of inspiration. And yet, while you are doing this, it is well to look also upon the bigger picture, the life experience that lies before you, that has gone before this moment, that exists at this moment, and see if you can find the One Creator there. Or, if that is too much of a challenge for the moment, look instead for love\index{love}, for that is the challenge of the third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion}, to find love in every moment, for it is there, my friends—the Creation is made of love, made from love.\\ love-body.tex:8420:60: Thus, we find that this group\index{group} is well aware of the contact with those of Ra\index{ra} that was experienced for a number of years, and which has provided information from the sixth density\index{sixth density} that is, indeed, being utilized by many entities upon the third-density\index{third-density} plane. The fourth-density\index{fourth-density} investment of third density is most usually accomplished in one of two fashions—the most common fashion is the inspiration that may come in the dream\index{dream} state, in the meditative state, in those moments when one’s receptor mechanism within the mind is open to inspiration. This is the means by which fourth-density entities are able to transmit concepts of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, of understanding and forgiveness, to entities within the third density. love-body.tex:8422:26: The red-ray energy center being that which deals with the survival of the entity and the sexual\index{sexual} reproduction\index{reproduction} of the entity, its survival, shall we say, as a species. The orange\index{orange} ray being that individual or emotional idiosyncrasy that is expressed in a one-to-one relationship\index{relationship} with another being. The yellow\index{yellow} ray being that group\index{group} expression of energies that the wanderer\index{wanderer} has involved itself in. The green\index{green} ray being the opening of the heart\index{heart} energy center, and the experience of universal love\index{love}, being able to both give and receive that love. The throat chakra being that freely given communication or inspiration and acceptance\index{acceptance} of other selves. The indigo\index{indigo} ray energy center being that energy of the adept, the magical personality and its state of beingness, of the sense of the Creator as intelligent energy. The violet\index{violet} ray being that center which reflects the overall balance of all the energy centers. love-body.tex:8425:5: And yet, my friends, depending upon how you view such moments, each contains a great revelation for you: an opportunity for you to take that which is dark and make it light, to take that which is anger\index{anger} and make it acceptance\index{acceptance}, to take that which is confusion\index{confusion}, and make it a sure path to the heart\index{heart} of love\index{love} that resides in each soul on this planet, and indeed upon all planets in the infinite\index{infinite} creation.\\ love-body.tex:8453:50: Q’uo, switching back to the positive path again, on the theme of forgiveness, it seems like some things are harder to forgive than others. I think some people on the positive path find it easier to forgive things done to themselves versus things done to other people, and there are some things that just seem unforgivable, and understanding that this is a process of evolution, and growing love\index{love} to more and more acceptance\index{acceptance}, do you have any advice on what to do if we find something unforgivable, and we just can’t seem to break through and offer love to something that seems so abhorrent to us? love-body.tex:8488:10: At some point, each seeker\index{seeker} of truth must realize that this shadow\index{shadow} side is a good friend, and has much to teach, for it is holding in reserve those areas of blockage which, when dealt with clearly, release the energy that is held in place by the blockage, that it might move upward along the line of energy centers, and release a certain kind of experiential energy at each level, for you all have planned, previous to this life experience, those lessons which are necessary for you, in your own estimation, to complete in order to become the whole human being that you desire\index{desire} to be, that being which sees all as love\index{love}, gives and receives freely with each, the quality of universal love and acceptance\index{acceptance}. The effort that you make to uncover those hidden areas within you that can offer you learning to achieve this goal, is what is called the process of the polarization of your consciousness, for as those who are devoted to seeking and serving other selves, this positive polarization becomes the means by which you might open the heart\index{heart} energy center and release the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} that abides therein.\\ love-body.tex:8494:0: [overview] From love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} to control and manipulation, there is a spectrum of response to catalyst. What about our relationship\index{relationship} to the planet? Where on that spectrum does our present global culture lie? What would relationship of love and acceptance toward our planet look like, and how might we more effectively manifest that?\\ love-body.tex:8520:65: However, it is difficult within the many cultures of your particular planet for us to imagine exactly what type of mass perception or occurrence could, in effect, free the blocked energy. It would be hoped that a unified philosophy of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of others could begin to take root and spread throughout the planetary cultures. However, there is such division\index{division} and animosity among the various religions, philosophies, political and social\index{social} structures, that this seems highly unlikely.\\ love-body.tex:8534:23: The more that you can take in to be healed, the more service you will be performing to this planet. And if we want to look at this circumstance from the standpoint of an engagement with the world, we could say that you do not have to be absented from that engagement altogether to have this process being working within you. If, for example, you find yourself in interaction with other selves that have found you to be inadequate or of an unsavory nature, and in responding to this judgment held very often aggressively against you, you mirror\index{mirror} back acceptance\index{acceptance}, love\index{love}. That, my friends, is the great breaker of the karmic cycle of action and reaction, and reaction, and reaction. That is the gift you may put on offer.\\ love-body.tex:8609:34: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, it is a possibility that many entities may become aware of the expanded ability to share love\index{love} and light with each entity around one. However, in many cases, the beginnings of this sharing of love, of comradeship, of intimacy, of dedication to similar goals, of seeing the life path as joining in one fashion or another, begins in the realm of the multiplicity of partners in order that the beginnings of the sharing of love and light may be started, shall we say. These are oftentimes the first inklings of the nature of true all-compassionate love and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the entities about one.\\ love-body.tex:8658:52: For before the incarnation, each entity incarnating within the third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} has programmed certain lessons that will allow a perception and expression of love\index{love} and light to inhabit the areas needing attention and learning within the incarnation. These types of programmings are able to enhance each entity’s growth patterns as long as there is the acceptance\index{acceptance} of each entity by each other entity as being whole and perfect, even though there may be distortions within the mind/body/spirit complex. love-body.tex:8668:67: It seems like there are three basic roads for those on this planet; entities can just completely armor themselves against the increasing energies, and be deaf to them in a way, or they can sense them a little more strongly and decide, on one level or another, to cooperate or not cooperate with the energies. If that’s correct, what does it mean to cooperate with the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} energies of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}?\\ love-body.tex:8681:96: Know then that when any soul does this, as more and more are doing now upon your planetary surface, this type of seeking and sharing of the love\index{love} and the light of the One Creator within each individual heart\index{heart} has a resounding and resonating effect that affects every other seeker\index{seeker} on the planet, every other soul on the planet that has any kind of sensitivity to the vibrations of love and acceptance\index{acceptance}, that when you can find any kind of love within your own heart and share it in meditation\index{meditation}, in contemplation, in conscious interaction with others, that love will be felt by every other soul on the planet, for indeed, each entity is a portion of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator, cells in the body of the One who made us all, and when your love is expressed to any other soul, every cells in the body of the One Creator resonates with this love and light, and there is, for at least a moment, a kind of healing\index{healing} of the anger\index{anger}, of the retribution, of the disturbances of doubt\index{doubt} and confusion\index{confusion}.\\ love-body.tex:8700:24: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. For the orange-ray energy center, the expression of the prana, or love/light of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator, in a positive sense through this center, would allow the entity activating this energy center to relate to one other entity in a manner which was of acceptance\index{acceptance}, of giving, of that sharing which is personal, emotional, and individual to the two entities engaged in this type of energy exchange. The negatively oriented entities will utilize such energies in order to separate from and control such other selves that relate to the negative self on a one-to-one basis. The positively oriented entity will utilize the energies of the orange\index{orange} ray in order to welcome and enjoy\index{enjoy} the offerings of another in hopes that the offerings of the self to the other will be enjoyed in a similar fashion.\\ love-body.tex:8728:27: Thus, the green\index{green} ray is that which is given freely without discrimination\index{discrimination} that is possible within the blue-ray energy center that sees more clearly that which is before the face, before the eye\index{eye}, before one’s presence. Thus, it is not always necessary to open the green ray before the blue-ray energy center is itself activated. For the blue\index{blue} ray sees with a certain clarity that which the green ray does not see, for there are not conditions for the green ray in being able to see or love\index{love} that which is before one. Thus, there is no danger, as far as we are aware of opening the blue ray before the green ray. The blue ray offers the one activating it a certain kind of protection. However, in relation to other selves, it is, perhaps, more helpful if the green ray is also activated before the blue ray so that the blue ray may be informed with the acceptance\index{acceptance} on an unconditional basis of another entity, or the creation about one.\\ love-body.tex:8735:7: The beginning red-ray attraction will, of necessity, cause intense interpersonal interactions that are a portion of the orange-ray energy center. If the catalyst from these interactions can be successfully processed by each entity so that there is love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} as the product of the processing of catalyst, then there is the opportunity for the energies to move higher within each entity’s chakras. Thus [energy] moves into the yellow\index{yellow} ray of group\index{group} energies wherein there is the chance for the two entities to blend as one in the social\index{social} sense, so that they partake of a larger environment of friends, family, and so forth that comprise the group consciousness, thereby utilizing their orange-ray identities that have been solidified, shall we say, in the intense interaction relegated to the orange-ray energy center.\\ love-body.tex:8763:44: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, for many upon your planetary sphere\index{sphere} at this time, the open-hearted love\index{love} of the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love and understanding is actively functioning. This activity within the heart\index{heart} energy center, is that which will draw one into those areas or arenas within one’s daily round of activities which are in need of this kind of loving acceptance\index{acceptance} on an unconditional level, so that one who has the open heart may begin to feel the pains of those whose hearts are wishing to open, but have a difficulty in doing so, and seek unconsciously or even consciously to find where there are those who have accomplished this feat, and who may be of service as a teacher\index{teacher} upon an unconscious level or a conscious level.\\ love-body.tex:8792:62: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. There is a great deal of accuracy within your statement. However, we would go, perhaps, a step further and suggest that the clearest communication that offers the opportunity of joining the hearts and minds of those within the conversation that contains disharmony, or the need for clarification, may be aided by the opening of the green-ray energy center as well. [Thus] there may be added to the clarity of the blue\index{blue} ray the compassion\index{compassion} of the green\index{green} ray, which does not alter the truth in its essence, but perhaps may state the truth in a loving fashion which does not include the more aggressive parts, or jarring parts of total clarity where there may be accusations or blame, and the making of another responsible for this or that result of the interaction between entities. Thus, the green ray energy center may serve as a kind of loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of another being so that the clear communication is received as a kind of spiritual food\index{food}. love-body.tex:8810:13: Yes, I have a follow-up to that. Like Aaron\index{aaron} says, sometimes these narcissistic entities can do a lot of harm and damage to the people in their lives. Do you have any advice for somebody wishing to be of service to others\index{service to others}, and how to handle a relationship\index{relationship} with a narcissist? Some people have experiences of attempting to offer love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} directly, but having that be taken advantage of completely and more harm coming from that attempt to offer love. So, do you have any guidance on how to relate to such entities?\\ love-body.tex:8829:87: The challenge of those diseases, as they are called, Asperger’s and autism, are to be able to put forth another way of being, another way of seeing, another way of communicating—for entities with these conditions have another way of being. They are here to not only expand their own consciousness as they move into the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} of love\index{love} and understanding, but to offer to those about them the opportunity to see another way of being, another way of communicating, another way of accomplishing the life’s journey. For this type of seeing is that which moves beyond the normal third-density\index{third-density} level of perception, and recognition and acceptance\index{acceptance}.\\ love-body.tex:8908:18: I was referring to the symbolic objects which trigger this instrument’s distortions towards love/light. The placement and loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of them by all present is important in the nurturing of this instrument. Therefore, the appurtenances involved must be described and their presence explained in your own words of teach/learning, for you have the proper attitude for the required results.\\ love-body.tex:9075:46: I am Ra\index{ra}. This is partially correct. The first acceptance\index{acceptance} or control, depending upon polarity\index{polarity}, is of the self. Anger\index{anger} is one of many things to be accepted\index{accepted} and loved as a part of self or controlled as a part of self, if the entity is to do work.\\ love-body.tex:9076:70: I am Ra\index{ra}. The catalyst, and all catalyst, is designed to offer experience. This experience in your density may be loved and accepted\index{accepted}, or it may be controlled. These are the two paths. When neither path is chosen, the catalyst fails in its design, and the entity proceeds until catalyst strikes it which causes it to form a bias towards acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} or separation and control. There is no lack of space/time in which this catalyst may work. love-body.tex:9114:37: Further, having learned to radiate acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} without expecting return, this entity now must balance this by learning to accept the gifts of love and acceptance of others, which this instrument feels some discomfort in accepting. These two balancing workings will aid this entity in the release from the distortion called pain\index{pain}. The limitations are, to a great extent, fixed.\\ love-body.tex:9123:59: This is not a dimension\index{dimension} of knowing, even subjectively, due to the lack of overview of cosmic and other inpourings which affect each and every situation which produces catalyst. The subjective acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which is at the moment and the finding of love\index{love} within that moment is the greater freedom.\\ love-body.tex:9210:11: Jim has a personal question which is not to be published. He asks, “It seems that my balancing work has shifted from more peripheral concerns such as patience/impatience, to learning to open myself in unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, to accepting my self as whole and perfect, and then to accepting my self as the Creator. If this is a normal progression of focus for balancing, wouldn’t it be more efficient, once this is discovered, for a person to work on the acceptance\index{acceptance} of self as Creator rather than work peripherally on the secondary and tertiary results of not accepting the self?”\\ love_family.txt:25:1991/0308.txt:12:If each entity were born into a family where the only thing experienced was total love and acceptance, the experience of the entity would be similar to those entities who incarnated before the advent of the veil between the conscious and unconscious minds or before the availability of the choice between the positive and the negative paths, the result being that with no stimulus which is perceived as negative, very little growth takes place. Thusly, for one who incarnates for the purposes of learning the lessons of love, the perceived absence of love is essential in order that such learning may take place. love_family.txt:112:2015/1017.txt:34:Use the responses of family, friends, and so forth to further enrich the heart center activity so that there is a kind of priming of the pump, shall we say, no pun intended. Then you are able to feel the flow beginning in the heart center so that there is the automatic response within this center to your daily round of activities. When you see or hear a situation that, as one might say, tugs at the heart strings, allow the heart its response. That which perhaps has been neglected or repressed in past experience, allow it to come forward and to be able to share this burgeoning energy of acceptance, of love, within your own being before another being or situation. Your world, my friends, has many such situations easily accessed through your news media, if necessary. However, we are also quite sure that each entity has within its own realm of personal experience those areas that could benefit by receiving the love offerings of your heart center. love_family.txt:120:2019/1005.txt:8:The beginning red-ray attraction will, of necessity, cause intense interpersonal interactions that are a portion of the orange-ray energy center. If the catalyst from these interactions can be successfully processed by each entity so that there is love and acceptance as the product of the processing of catalyst, then there is the opportunity for the energies to move higher within each entity’s chakras. Thus [energy] moves into the yellow ray of group energies wherein there is the chance for the two entities to blend as one in the social sense, so that they partake of a larger environment of friends, family, and so forth that comprise the group consciousness, thereby utilizing their orange-ray identities that have been solidified, shall we say, in the intense interaction relegated to the orange-ray energy center. love_family.txt:126:2021/0819.txt:10:I am Q’uo and am now with this instrument. We find within this instrument a certain sensitivity that allows us to refine our message and disclaimer to seekers wishing to utilize the thoughts that we share with you on this day. This sensitivity, we find, is geared towards those who may find our words and find within them the inspiration to take up the mantle of universal love, acceptance, and service to others when approaching such a dynamic as you have described within your query and attempt to relate within a situation that may become harmful, or what might be known as abusive—thus adopting the mantle of a martyr. Further, there may be a situation in which a dynamic within what you describe as a family involves an individual or individuals who have yet to find within themselves the true sovereign power of their beingness as a creator of love, and thus might misuse or misinterpret those ideas that we share with you. And so we offer a refinement to our general disclaimer in that these opinions that we share with you are not intended to apply to each specific scenario, and each specific case. This is a matter of interpretation for each seeker who wishes to find value in our words. We speak generally and desire most to offer thoughts that empower each seeker to discover within them not only their capacity to love and to create, but also their right to express themselves and create for themselves a life and a creation in which they may feel safe and maintain an ability to continue their seeking and to continue to refine their love as an expression of service to others. love_family.txt:130:2023/0225.txt:94:I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. As you are aware, the orange-ray energy center is concerned with the self, the knowledge of the self as an individual being, with various eccentricities or unique qualities that make it an individual and unique being. This basic acceptance of the self then forms the framework within which the spiritual seeker may continue its journey through the yellow-ray energy center where it joins its unique self with other selves and forms groups of various kinds of the family, the workplace, the community and so forth. This expansion of the awareness of the self and into the group can, when the entity becomes aware of the nature of the Creator relying—we correct this instrument—existing within each entity, then the green-ray energy center of unconditional love may be activated. love_family.txt:134:2023/1015.txt:30:My friends, we empathize with the challenges that come in relating in this density, family being one avenue for this kind of challenge. We issue our deep care and love to you as you navigate these difficult relationships. And know we are present always and can be called upon, for we too are your family. Consider us your brothers and sisters, who are always desiring and willing to be there for you, to shroud you in the love and support you so truly deserve and desire. And know that, ultimately, it is you who steers the direction of your incarnational experience; that the spiritual attitude you take is like the steering wheel on the ship. With an open heart, with faith, with love, all informed by wisdom, of course, you may steer that ship further towards understanding and acceptance. love_family.txt:135:2023/1028.txt:9:And you may then ask that these energies move out of your heart into those around you not just in your family or your community but move around the world to whatever location you feel needs the energies of love, acceptance in the seeing of each other as the Creator. You may ask that those energies of the full moon move into your blue-ray energy center. That of communication, that of clear communication, that of inspiration, that of sharing with anyone who would care to know about your spiritual journey more of what makes you tick, shall we say, in a spiritual sense so that you are able to speak to any person that asks you a question whether it is a friend, a neighbor, a stranger on the street, or any person whatsoever that requests any kind of a spiritually oriented kind of information. love-header.idx:287:\indexentry{acceptance|hyperpage}{13} love-header.idx:338:\indexentry{acceptance|hyperpage}{14}

objects which trigger this instrument’s distortions towards love/light. The placement and loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of them by all present is important in the nurturing of this instrument. Thus, the illusion\index{illusion} is created of Light, or more properly but less understandably, light/love. This entity may have barely reached third density\index{third density} or may be very, very close to the ending of the third-density light/love distortion vibratory complex. Nevertheless, those who fall within this octave of intensifying light/love then experience a major cycle during which the opportunities are many for the discovery of the distortions which are inherent in each entity and, therefore, the lessening of these distortions. love-sentence-body.tex:506: This entity, if using this catalyst mentally, blesses and loves this anger\index{anger} in itself. Anger\index{anger} is one of many things to be accepted\index{accepted} and loved as a part of self or controlled as a part of self, if the entity is to do work. This experience in your density may be loved and accepted\index{accepted}, or it may be controlled. When neither path is chosen, the catalyst fails in its design, and the entity proceeds until catalyst strikes it which causes it to form a bias towards acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} or separation and control. love-sentence-body.tex:558: Further, having learned to radiate acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} without expecting return, this entity now must balance this by learning to accept the gifts of love and acceptance of others, which this instrument feels some discomfort in accepting. In the hands of one of fifth-density\index{fifth-density} or above this particular energy may be tapped in order to communicate information, love\index{love}, or light across what you would consider vast distances but which, with this energy, may be considered transdimensional leaps. love-sentence-body.tex:562: The second ramification of condition is that which we might call the degree of mental efficiency in use of catalyst provided for the learning of programmed lessons, in particular, and the lessons of love\index{love}, in general. The first is, in the healing\index{healing} exercise concerning the body, what do you mean by the disciplines of the body having to do with the balance between love\index{love} and wisdom\index{wisdom} in the use of the body in its natural functions. Among these are touching, loving, the sexual\index{sexual} life, and those times when the company of another is craved to combat the type of loneliness which is the natural function of the body, as opposed to those types of loneliness which are of the mind/emotion complex or of the spirit. When these natural functions may be observed in the daily life they may be examined in order that the love\index{love} of self and love of other-self versus the wisdom\index{wisdom} regarding the use of natural functions may be observed. On the one hand there is an excess of love. It must be determined whether this is love\index{love} of self or other-self or both. No matter what the behavior, the important balancing is the understanding of each interaction on this level with other-selves, so that whether the balance may be love/wisdom or wisdom/love, the other-self is seen by the self in a balanced configuration, and the self is, thus, freed for further work. The subjective acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which is at the moment and the finding of love\index{love} within that moment is the greater freedom. However, the balancing of sensation has to do with an analysis of the sensation with especial respect\index{respect} to any unbalanced leaning between the love\index{love} and the wisdom\index{wisdom}, or the positive and the negative. The primary mental/emotive condition of this large area of the so-called brain is joy\index{joy}, or love\index{love}, in its creative sense. love-sentence-body.tex:751: We have been enjoying your friendship\index{friendship}, the love\index{love} you have shared. The love\index{love} that has been shown upon your planet is great indeed. For as the time of harvest grows nearer, my friends, more and more of your people will come to know of the love\index{love} and light of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Look about you, my friends, at the love\index{love} that has been displayed, that has been showered upon you, with a heartfelt\index{heartfelt} hug from a friend, with a glance that is full of love and sharing of two souls. My friend, these are the things that should occupy your minds, for when one loves, that love\index{love} can do nothing but grow and grow. The love\index{love} during this time of your year is at a level rarely reached. Many at this time feel that special need to quietly give of themselves without thought of reward or of the return of love. The shining of your light, the giving of your love\index{love} does not need an audience or conditions, for as you celebrate the birth\index{birth} of the one that your peoples see as the ideal of love and light, never—correction—the one known as Jesus\index{jesus}, that many use as their ideal, refrained from showmanship, came quietly and humbly into your world and reached and touched in silence and gave (up] the thought of reward for himself. Your planet feels the healing\index{healing} love\index{love} and responds. It would be well if the feelings of love\index{love} could continue at this level. For at this time in your illusion\index{illusion} there is much need for love\index{love} and light. A quiet touch, the gentle\index{gentle} hug, the loving look, the acceptance\index{acceptance}, all aids your peoples and your planet. In the beginning was love. Love. I was perfectly willing to love\index{love} him, but the guy was beyond me to love ... As always, my sister, the lesson to be learned is some aspect of love\index{love} and acceptance. It may be, however, that the love\index{love} to be learned may have an aspect of wisdom\index{wisdom} connected to it. That is, how best to love\index{love} such an entity. It may be that to love\index{love} such an entity in the most helpful way to that entity would be not the simple acceptance\index{acceptance} of every portion without comment, but the gentle\index{gentle} directing of love in a manner which would attempt some form of sharing the self as an instructive technique so that the entity might know that as you accept it, you also have responses that are somewhat disturbing that you wish\index{wish} to share so that the entity might know that it is being perceived in such and such a manner by yourself as you love to the best of your ability. The great lesson of your density is the lesson of love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance} without condition. We spoke of a refinement to the lesson of love\index{love}, that being the inclusion of a portion of wisdom\index{wisdom} with that love. Therefore, it is possible to refine the lesson of love\index{love} with such an entity, and we stress “refine,” which suggests that you do indeed accept such an entity fully. A simple discernment instead, which offers on the, shall we say, on the outstretched hand of love\index{love} the morsel of wisdom\index{wisdom} which is given in love and suggests a refinement which may be helpful to the entity. In the earlier conversation I said that I had my description of love\index{love}, at least the way I perceive it at this point. Love\index{love} is unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} of another entity, making no demands on his behavior or what he does. The effect of both of these concepts is quite similar in that the entity feeling either the indifference\index{indifference} or the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} does not have a response that could be considered in a significant distortion. In other words, the actions of the other self do not generate within the one feeling the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} or the indifference\index{indifference} an emotion which moves the entity from the center of self. The entity expressing the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} has no action within that is held, but allows the free expression of the compassion\index{compassion} similar to that which one might feel for the newborn infant in its innocent\index{innocent} actions. Such an infant is easily seen as worthy of unconditional love. When one can feel such, shall we call it, emotion, for any entity at any time for any reason, then that balance of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} has been achieved. It’s just, I have noticed previously sometimes that when people are really angry\index{angry} with you, it’s basically a distorted expression of love. And it’s far harder to deal lovingly with that sort of a person or to make some kind of a communication with that kind of a person than to deal with a person who is honestly upset with something that you’ve said or done or if there’s a problem of communication because of the fact that anger\index{anger}, even though it seems like a negative thing, usually comes out rebounding into a very positive thing, whereas indifference\index{indifference} doesn’t have much of a snap to it. To me, love\index{love} is where another human being brings out the best in me, positive responses, whether they feel the same way about me or not. If I love\index{love} them, then they bring out positive response in me. Or, if it’s both ways, if two people love\index{love} each other, they bring positive responses in each other. Is that a definition of love. The bringing out of the best in another may be seen as one portion of love\index{love}, that being the inspirational quality, yet one may see that the action called loving may also include the ability to accept the worst in another with the same degree of enjoyment, shall we say, that the best qualities are enjoyed. Do you mean that I would love\index{love} a person that was extremely unpleasant, and consistently extremely unpleasant, that that would be a person that I would especially love. We have attempted to suggest that within the boundaries of love\index{love}, as defined, there are indeed no boundaries. By this paradox we mean to suggest that love\index{love} is exercised by one who loves toward the object of love no matter what expression the object of love has created. The child eating the bowl of soup may spill the soup and create the mess, yet receive love. The child may simply sleep\index{sleep} and yet receive the same love. The child may injure the playmate, yet receive the same love. I can understand\index{understand} loving something in a person who could do no better\index{better}, such as a child. But say a person was very vicious, I would find that difficult to love\index{love} them in the same sense that I would love a person who was kind and considerate. I can understand\index{understand} that you should love\index{love} all other selves, but what I was meaning was that there are a few people that you come in contact with who do inspire you and who seem to bring out the best in you. So there are a limited few people about who you can say, “I particularly love\index{love} that person.” Now, I don’t mean that you don’t love everybody, your other selves in the larger sense, but don’t most people have a certain number of people that bring out the best in them. The harmonizing of the vibrations of the entities who have populated your cultures in the history of your planet is a record of a difficult progression and somewhat inefficient learning of the lessons of love. love-sentence-body.tex:763: We would speak with you this lovely evening about that which you may call discipline. When we speak to you of love\index{love} and light and peace\index{peace}, we do not expect to do anything more than to inspire you to begin or to intensify your own efforts at seeking, that probing the unknown which holds within it the treasure which you call the truth. If you claim that which you know and begin the unending attempt to manifest within your being that which you have learned, then you shall proceed, and the penetration of the illusion\index{illusion} which hides from you the true nature of love\index{love} will be accelerated accordingly. My friends, it is so easy to think that the feast, the love\index{love}, and the unity that you experience in moments of inspiration will be a natural fruit\index{fruit} of your attempting to manifest these qualities through your being. We come among you only as brothers and sisters and do not wish\index{wish} to add to your burdens, but we do challenge you to retain that fine sense of the ideal, that great seeking for the one original Thought, while gazing with a clear and careful eye\index{eye} upon each situation that seems to be quite out of keeping with all the effort and all the love\index{love} you have given to that situation. We come as humble\index{humble} messengers of love\index{love} and light, and of the unity of the creation of the one Creator. And once we have sent love\index{love} and light, I have this problem of using—from the elbow down—my arms. If then you can refine further your efforts of service by seeking in your own meditative state that which might be most helpful to the entity, and share this assistance with love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the entity, the situation, and without a dedication to any particular outcome, then you will have given a gift which is most helpful in that it is given freely, with love and with concern. love-sentence-body.tex:791: We, as always, thank\index{thank} you for allowing us to join with you in your camaraderie, your singing and your sharing of the love\index{love} amongst one another. The one certainty in your variable path is that it will change, because what you have chosen as the pearl of great price is something called the truth or love\index{love}, or as we would perhaps most accurately describe it, the one original Thought or Logos that is the manifested Creator. However, the quality of truth is such that as you approach its boundary, it will recede from you, constantly giving you more to look for, to understand\index{understand}, to use, to experience, and to finally again use up, so that you once again reach the boundary point where you feel you have discovered at least some part of the nature of love. Each discovery of love\index{love} should be celebrated as the wonderful event which it truly is. We are not saying that you deserve to be of a certain nature, that you are worthy, that you have earned the nature of manifested love. You know already all of truth, for you are truth; you embody the Creator; you manifest the very nature of love\index{love}, and you change constantly. Each of you are bright with the light and love\index{love} of the Creator. The situation which binds you together is that catalyst which offers both of you an opportunity to learn\index{learn} the basic lesson of love\index{love} in some way, well or perfect, consciously or unconsciously. It is necessary within your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} that such lessons be learned with a forgetting, for if either of you remembered completely and wholeheartedly with total clarity your true nature as the one Creator, then you would not have the same opportunity to learn\index{learn} love. To truly learn\index{learn} love\index{love} it is necessary to find oneself embroiled in difficulties, and then to untangle the difficulties so that when each is followed to its source, the source is seen as the one Creator residing in all things. Those treasures, my sister, as you know, are always a greater acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} of the one Creator. If there are great fruits to be reaped, a great harvest, shall we say, available to the expanded point of view, then there is also the responsibility to manifest that love\index{love} in the greatest possible degree. And the one who seeks the one Creator begins to know the desire\index{desire} to serve the one Creator with every fiber of its being, every thought of the mind, every drop of devotional love\index{love} of the heart\index{heart}, and will give whatever it has to that one Creator, and this shall return to the seeker\index{seeker}, for who is the seeker but the one who asks as well and the one Creator who dwells in all. Hutton speaks, take note as you will, but remember where the balance of wisdom\index{wisdom} lies and where the key of love\index{love} is placed. love-sentence-body.tex:795: That thought is love. Gaze upon the ravine, gaze beneath the gnarled tree\index{tree} trunks to the roots which stretch quietly, quietly, gathering in winter the force\index{force} which will propel new growth, new love\index{love}, new beauty, new service to the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Some portions of the universe have become individualized; a great deal of it has remained love. The resounding echo of the creation is love\index{love} ... love\index{love} ... love\index{love} ... The same is true of love. Extend love\index{love} to the touching of hands, to a true dedication that is unsaid but nevertheless meaningful. Carry this love\index{love} out to the very end, and you will see the true meaning of love. Our friends, we wish\index{wish} to thank\index{thank} you for allowing us this opportunity to share your love\index{love}, to be with you. How much more love\index{love} can be given than this, my friends, to allow one to serve and to serve at the same time. We ask each to look within, to see the love\index{love} in each, to share that love is so beautiful\index{beautiful}, my friends, and we thank\index{thank} you, for the love within this group\index{group} is beautiful, and has gained strength\index{strength} over the years. When an entity is able to express the love\index{love} of the Creator which it receives daily to each entity whom it meets, and is able to feel that same love within its own being for itself as well, then it is often the case that the entity sees the creation about it, and, indeed, itself through new eyes. The eyes of love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness are the eyes which heal. That known as cancer as has been discussed by those known as Ra\index{ra}, which is a disease which is the result of an inability to forgive, is a disease which grows from the angers which have not found their balance in love. love-sentence-body.tex:816:As she embraced her young, small son she felt the love\index{love} of his arms, and she looked into his eyes and saw love there as well. Remembering the bitter\index{bitter} words that she had been speaking as he entered the room a short time before, she felt great remorse within her own heart\index{heart} and realized at that instant that the deformation that she had felt such a burden was of no consequence when compared with the love\index{love} that her son was able to give as freely as rain falling from the sky. How many bright and adoring eyes have you missed because of your judgment, because of the disease of your eyes, because of your lack of the loving and open heart. We might suggest to you that since you are here to learn\index{learn} the lessons of love\index{love}, it would be surprising if anyone were able to say that each person throughout a crowded\index{crowded} day had been met with the eyes of love, and with this we begin with you yourself. Do you see yourself with love\index{love}’s kind vision. We do not intend to encourage you to be egotistical, but only to suggest that that greater self which is most truly you is very beautiful\index{beautiful}, and the touches, the details, the experiences, the uniqueness that you have brought to this particular aspect of the creation that is you are most lovable and most beautiful. We find that our brothers and sisters of those known to you as Oxal have indeed joined this group\index{group} this evening in part due to the presence of the one you have called H and in part due to the remaining configuration of this group which seeks that kind of love\index{love} which has been blended somewhat with wisdom. The distortions of perception are each colored in a certain way so that yet another means is presented to you by which you may learn\index{learn} the lesson of love\index{love}, for as you examine each distortion each in its turn will yield the opposite response: for patience\index{patience}, you will find impatience; for anger\index{anger}, you will find acceptance\index{acceptance}; for the various kinds of distortions you will discover that when the balance is achieved, the yield of this process will be an increase in the ability to love. Therefore, that which you have called the ego and which we have called the conscious acting self will have provided you with a lens or a prism which breaks the unity of all creation into various portions so that you may in each portion reap the harvest of love\index{love} that would not be possible should the perception not be broken into particles. We have no desire\index{desire} to judge whether one’s ego might better\index{better} be strong or weak, or strong at one time and weak at another, or have any particular characteristic, for all characteristics are distortions or biases which allow the entity to discover love\index{love} in yet another mode of behavior or portion of the self. love-sentence-body.tex:964:The portion of the question left unanswered, perhaps deliberately, was what is this relationship\index{relationship} emotionally, to the emotions, the human emotions that we call love\index{love}, although I understand\index{understand} that the creative principle love is not what we mean by the kind of love that people have in their eyes on their fiftieth anniversary. I am Q’uo, and we see here a paradox, my sister, for in one way of looking upon infatuation it is a pure form of love\index{love}, for it accepts totally another without condition. Thus, in this sense the period of infatuation is a pure form of love. When the two who have become infatuated continue the relationship\index{relationship} and begin the processing of the catalyst which is inevitable within any life pattern, the opportunities then arise for the love\index{love} to gain in strength\index{strength} and depth and richness and purity, for there will be many, many times in the processing of catalyst that one or the other or both entities will feel less than acceptance\index{acceptance} of the other and will need to find within the self the ability to accept that which was previously not acceptable, to forgive that within self and other self that which was unforgivable, to have compassion\index{compassion} for that which held little interest\index{interest}, or perhaps even dislike. Thus, the lessons of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} make themselves known within the relationship\index{relationship} born\index{born} of infatuation and with the faith that the relationship will endure and that meaning may be found for both within it and the will to persevere in finding that meaning and growth. Thus does each entity grow in acceptance\index{acceptance} and in love\index{love} and thus does the relationship\index{relationship} do likewise and thus is love strengthened by testing true catalyst that each brings to the relationship. Thus, the love\index{love} which results is a love which has greater strength\index{strength} and depth and variety of experience, shall we say. You basically covered this so please\index{please} answer briefly, but you seemingly place more importance upon the broader definition of love\index{love} which is compassion\index{compassion} and I understand\index{understand} that as acceptance\index{acceptance} of people, situations and self as they are and allowing them room to grow in their own way. So for an entity who is attempting to develop love\index{love} as we know it then probably the most expeditious way for them to do this would be to work on acceptance\index{acceptance} of others and themselves and this is something that I believe\index{believe} I know, but could you just give a simple yes or no, if that would suffice. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress\index{progress} by finding the joy\index{joy}, the love\index{love}, and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship\index{relationship} then the relationship has served as a means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance\index{acceptance}, the love\index{love}, and the compassion\index{compassion} for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution. love-sentence-body.tex:978: This may be done by programming the seeming opposite attribute within the incarnation in order to provide opportunity after opportunity after opportunity, one upon the other for the self to experience the lack of love\index{love}, the lack of forgiveness, the lack of acceptance\index{acceptance}, and these are terms which describe that which you call anger\index{anger}, frustration, control and so forth. Thus, by finding these attributes within the incarnational pattern, one may through conscious and non-judgmental study\index{study} of the self become aware that in each release of anger\index{anger} there is the potential to accept, to love\index{love}, to show mercy, and to have patience. And as one is able to be more aware of the root or primary cause and potential set up by the expression of anger\index{anger}, then one is able to take advantage, shall we say, of that opportunity, and in a fashion to transmute or transform the situation in which anger\index{anger} might normally be generated, and instead generate the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} which was the original intention and which was achieved by constructing the basic personality to respond in the manner called angry\index{angry} or frustrated. love-sentence-body.tex:983:My friends, we have looked throughout your culture for this gusto, but we have not been able to find an objective reference, and can only assume that your peoples, even in going for the gusto, are indeed searching for that which is called love. Yet in your diversity of needs, you are all one, one harmony, one chord of being, one consciousness to love\index{love} and to serve. And as you love\index{love} and serve, you shall be loved and you shall be served. We would throw in for the entity which may need this at this time that the working place is as much an area under one’s control as any other, in that the consciousness of love\index{love}, sought most earnestly and persistently, can transform and has and will transform any situation. There is one original Thought, the thought of love. Above all, we urge you to laugh\index{laugh} and love\index{love} generously. Ah, my friends, if you only could see that you love\index{love} but yourself, no matter where that love is turned, it would be easy for you. It is within this region that many great teachers have walked and have found the need to express, each in his or her own way, the attempt to reconcile what may be best described as the lack of love\index{love} within entities and states, beliefs and religions. For within the third-density\index{third-density} experience as you know it, my friends, the basic lesson is that which is described by the word you know as love\index{love}, that which is quite difficult to define, but which includes the ability to accept more of the creation without condition and to see it as the self and to see it as one thing, even though many portions of it present the illusion\index{illusion} of separation, difference and disharmony. When the difficulties have been appreciated by a growing number of individuals, then this widened point of view that has found its place of birth\index{birth} within these individuals may begin to expand so that there is the general perception of the possibilities of reconciliation, of forgiving that which seems unforgivable, of accepting that which seems unacceptable, of loving that which seems unlovable. When this opportunity, then, has been presented in a wider and more profound manner, not only within the boundaries of the nation\index{nation} known as Israel, but has continued its progress\index{progress} throughout the various populations, nations, religions (and] beliefs of the various portions of your planet, the opportunity for each person to experience the reconciliation of difficulties and disharmonies is increased, and the opportunity to learn\index{learn} those lessons of love\index{love} are enhanced. Thus, the emotions are the barometer, or shall we say the temperature gauge for an entity, in that the emotions show to the entity the degree of feeling or bias that the entity has toward any thought, word or action, and by becoming aware of this biasing within the emotional self, shall we say, the entity then may take this biasing, this emotional coloration, and work with it in a fashion that attempts to balance the emotional charge so that the final product is that quality known as love\index{love} or acceptance. Thus, the emotions point to that which is in need of balance and which when worked with in an efficient manner may then yield a lack of emotion, a lack of coloration, and may finally yield that quality known as love. We of Latwii\index{latwii}, then, having experienced the vibrations and the lessons of love\index{love}, have attempted to refine those lessons in a manner which hopefully will aid our ability not only to speak more of what you may call the truth, but to be of service to those who seek it from the aspect of light or wisdom. There are times when the gathering within your group\index{group} seeks more of the lessons of love\index{love}, and at that time there are others of the Confederation\index{confederation} of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator who then answer that call. There are many of both vibrations, that of love\index{love} and that of light, who are available for such opportunities to be of service. I am Latwii\index{latwii}, and indeed this is so, my brother, for each seeker\index{seeker} of truth has discovered in one way or another that that which may be seen as the stream of consciousness is without beginning and without end, and moves in many ways throughout all of the one infinite\index{infinite} creation, for the one creation is held in its place by that one Thought of love\index{love}, given birth\index{birth} ageless eons ago by the one Creator, that the one Creator might through the movement of various portions of Its own love come to know Itself in ways not available to It without such division\index{division} of Itself into the infinite portions and expressions of love that move throughout this same creation in order that each portion may come to know itself by gaining the experience of evolution in a unique fashion that will, at its culmination, bring the harvest of experience to the one Creator, that all may again know the heart\index{heart} of being as love, and may continue the process of movement and growth and seeking and gaining the experience that will reveal each portion of the Creator to each portion of the Creator as the one Creator. Though to the eyes of those of third density\index{third density} there may seem to be endowments, as you may call them, that are of greater or lesser radiance and purpose, in the larger sense there is one endowment, the endowment of love\index{love} that has free will to know itself as it will. This entity was of great desire\index{desire} to be a most humble\index{humble} servant\index{servant} and wished to provide a means by which those who felt the need for love\index{love} within the life pattern might be able to express that love in a fashion which could be utilized in the daily round of activities. love-sentence-body.tex:1000: We assure you that it is not necessary to give up all the responsibility except the responsibility to engage in any specific spiritual activity, for many entities, having made contact with a consciousness of love\index{love}, are then capable of keeping that relationship\index{relationship} with direct perception of the Creator as a part of the point of view which is used to evaluate all those things within the illusion. You are dimly perceiving your true nature, and you are gaining in experience in this illusion\index{illusion} so that you may refine your perceptions and more and more define yourself in terms of love\index{love} and all others in terms of love until your perception becomes clear. Thus, as one proceeds through this pattern and sees the daily round of activities repeating in a certain fashion, one may note how the learning of love\index{love} which each attempts is proceeding in the life pattern. During this quiet portion of one’s day, one may review the process of learning this general concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} that is ongoing in the life pattern. One may note those areas of success\index{success}, shall we say, and attempt then to build upon these strengths and to utilize in some fashion what has been well learned there in the areas which yet lack the proficiency of loving without stint and accepting without condition those offerings of others about one. Thus, the heart\index{heart} of all is that which one moves closer to in such a movement and if such be the motivation for seeking the high mountain\index{mountain} cave, then, indeed, such isolation may be an effective means of learning those lessons that one has set forth in the life pattern, all reflecting in some degree the general understanding of love. However, we may suggest that the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} of Nazareth who became the Christed being dwelling in the consciousness of love\index{love}, that this entity was from the beginnings of its life pattern one filled with the desire\index{desire} to penetrate the illusion\index{illusion} of appearance and to seek the heart\index{heart} of all being, which it perceived as what you would call the power of love. This entity was greatly desirous of being of service to those about it by aiding their own journeys of seeking this same source of power, that called love. The entity thus having penetrated, as it desired\index{desired}, to the heart\index{heart} of the power which sustains that known as the creation, thus it was able to realize that that power which it sought and called love\index{love} and the one Creator was available to each person as a result of this same process of seeking which the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} the Christ\index{christ} had itself undertaken. Thus, the accumulated experience that has accrued to the population of your planet has provided each entity now incarnate with the opportunity to utilize the heart\index{heart} chakra in a fashion which is congruent with the King’s chamber position and provides to each entity who seeks consciously the keys to its own evolution the possibility of utilizing the energy of what you would call love\index{love} in a fashion which may balance and heal not only the self in further processing of catalyst and others about the self, but in visualized meditations may affect the balance of your planetary sphere\index{sphere} itself. Thus, for one to truly be of aid to another, one can only desire\index{desire} to be of such aid and to reflect the love\index{love} that one has found in as pure a fashion as possible, giving always with an open and cheerful heart\index{heart} without expectation of return so that the greater will of the one Creator which has been planted as seed\index{seed} within all entities might in its own time be nourished and grow in a fashion which, (while] perhaps not understood by those about an entity, yet is appropriate to that entity. We remind each that we are but your brothers and sisters in seeking the light and love\index{love} of the one Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:1024: Always do we speak of that great original Thought, that thought of love\index{love} of the one Creator which binds all of the creation and all entities within it together as portions of that one Creator and that one great Thought of love. Thus, from each we find a great library of resources of experiences, of thoughts, of joys, of sadnesses, of what you call success\index{success}, and what you call failure, and much, much more that we may utilize in expressing the simplicity of the great Thought of love\index{love}, the one Creator as a general principle which motivates all of the many complexities of your illusion\index{illusion} and of others. This is a very, very rich resource, my friends, and we rejoice\index{rejoice} in the uniqueness which signifies each of you one from the other, and yet is an emanation of the same Thought of love. Thus, in the vocal channeling\index{channeling} type of service, we feel that it is most important that each instrument feel as much acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} for its own experiences and identity as it does for those of others, for in this way we are aided in our attempt to unify those many divergent thoughts and experiences which each of your peoples gathers about it, and as you serve as an instrument in this process and are able to see the love and joy—perfection—within your own experience, and as you are able to see it as equal to any other’s experiences, then are we more able to utilize that which is yours to offer into this service by means of the transmission of thought. love-sentence-body.tex:1032: It is difficult to love\index{love} when one is busy. None of you who feels that these words have truth is alone in this perception, for it is the nature of your culture to distract yourself from the consciousness of the love\index{love} and light of the one Creator. It is difficult to explain the spiritual path to any who do not love\index{love} the silence already or at least hunger for that which cannot be held in the hand or assessed for material wealth. It will be enough that you have the opportunity to express yourself in love\index{love} to other portions of the Creator. Farewell, my friends, in love\index{love} and light. We may suggest that when you have the ability to look upon those experiences that are a part of your history, shall we say, without a feeling of joy\index{joy} or sadness, you may assume that those experiences have been utilized in an efficient manner, for when there are emotional charges, shall we say, that are apparent and connected to any experience, then one may assume that there is work in that experience which one may undertake, for the emotional colorations that one feels for any thought, experience or entity are distorted perceptions that are distorted in such and such a fashion in order that an entity will be drawn into the process of balancing these perceptions so that the final product of all experience is a quiet acceptance\index{acceptance} that may in metaphysical terms be translated as unconditional love. The attraction of the self to the self is that which is a natural portion of the creation, for the creation, as you know, is of one thing, that great Thought of love\index{love} which motivates all that is and is the fabric of all creation. Thus, it is not so much the uniqueness of entities which attracts one to another as it is a clearer and clearer expression of that which is the same for all, that being the expression of the love\index{love} of the one Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:1049: In answer to the queries of the instrument regarding the nature of prior contact, we may say that the previous messenger was not acceptable as a spirit\index{spirit} filled with love\index{love} of service to others\index{service to others}, and we are pleased at the instrument’s determination to name and dismiss the persistent contact. And yet you struggle onward, ceaselessly valiant, forever spraining your metaphysical ankles and breaking your bones, picking yourselves up, putting yourselves in traction and moving back into your search, your fruitless, hopeless\index{hopeless} search for a well-ordered, productive, maximally service-oriented expression and manifestation of love. Would that we could teach those within an illusion\index{illusion} to pay sufficient attention while peaceful and happy\index{happy}, for then discomfort and pain\index{pain} would have no spiritual use whatsoever, these being the two-by-fours which are applied to your foreheads by your higher selves in a loving effort to get your attention. You may put on light; you may put on love\index{love}; you may put on commitment; you may put on honest doubt. By so experiencing these various geographical configurations, to continue, one may then, through this experience, fashion that which is truly born\index{born} of wisdom\index{wisdom} and which may eventually produce a loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of all that one experiences within the life pattern, when one is able to utilize the experiences to their fullest extent. Yet within your illusion\index{illusion} at this time you must content yourself with continuing upon the journey toward mystery and accept that you do not know what you do or how to do it, but that you wish\index{wish} to do that which will make the mystery move within your life in the pattern that may only be described as love. love-sentence-body.tex:1059:My children\index{children}, if you or your mate find love\index{love} in another, remember your own time of romance with gratitude\index{gratitude} and thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving}, and then wish\index{wish} the best and the highest and the most for your love regardless of what your mate wishes to do. If the difficulty is a difference of opinion, turn from defending self and begin defending your love\index{love}, for does your mate not need you now more than ever. When catalyst comes to a seeker\index{seeker}, it is a sure thing that there is a lesson connected with the learning of the nature of love\index{love} which working through the catalyst will benefit so that you may become richer in experience and more conscious with the consciousness of love. If you have been left, and you have found yourself acting in negative ways, ways demeaning to your mate or to yourself, we urge you to take hold of your will and your powers of love\index{love}, for if you have not been tested again, you shall be. Next time, my children\index{children}, offer your love\index{love} back to the situation. This time attempt to infuse your actions with love\index{love}, with a love that realizes compassion\index{compassion}, with a love that realizes the reason for relationships. Forgive yourself, forgive any who seem to have hurt you, remembering that you have faulty perceptions if you do not see love\index{love} in every situation. We ask you to create love. Love\index{love} one another, my children. We are sorry not to have been more helpful, but, you see, we do not speak of right or wrong—we speak of love. And I am afraid that questions of mated relationships in your culture do not usually revolve about the love\index{love} of which we speak which is not defined by red\index{red} ray or any ray, but by that which comes through one and is more than one could ever be. For love\index{love} has the power of infinity\index{infinity}, and you who attempt to generate are generating a very finite version which will, as your red\index{red} ray itself will do, die away. The pearls of wisdom\index{wisdom} and love\index{love} within your illusion\index{illusion} are not cheaply or easily won, else there would be little value in that which those of third density\index{third density} seek throughout all incarnations. To find the love\index{love} of the Creator in any moment within your illusion\index{illusion} is a challenge, my friends, for there is much that hides it, and to find it in those situations in which there seems to be great difficulty, trauma, stress, pain\index{pain} and suffering requires the dedication of one who looks beyond the moment of suffering and sees that which no outer eye\index{eye} may perceive—the love of the One that dwells in all, and the dedication of the seeker\index{seeker} to find that love in each of its moments of all incarnations. I am Q’uo, and we might suggest my brother, that not only is that assumption basically correct, but any action that is able to produce love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of another is an action more to be desired\index{desired} than one which produces less of that quality of love. The higher self, as you call it, has gone to some lengths, shall we say, to aid your beingness in placing yourself within your current incarnation with the forgetting of previous incarnations firmly in place in order that your current incarnation might be a finer and more purely (made] effort at achieving certain biases of thinking or expansions of the point of view which will enable the experience of love\index{love} to move more freely through your being. But what about the term we use as “unconditional love\index{unconditional love}”. Is that the true love\index{love} that we’re supposed to have for everybody. When I look at my work mates, is that the intense level of love\index{love} we’re supposed to have for everybody we meet. I am Q’uo, and this term, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, is a phrase, shall we say, which has been developed within your culture or a portion of it which describes a facet of the love\index{love} which (is] the Christ\index{christ} consciousness, shall we say. If one is able to love\index{love} without condition all entities and experiences which come before the notice, one is expressing the kind of acceptance\index{acceptance} upon the deepest of inner levels that is a—we search this instrument’s mind for the proper term—hallmark of the love of the Creator which animates all creation, for the ability to love without condition or desire\index{desire} of return is the beginning of the Creator within the self to recognize itself within all other portions of the creation. For an entity of the third density\index{third density} to experience this kind of expression of love\index{love} requires that the entity move in harmony with those choices\index{choices} which it has made prior to the incarnation that were made with the wider point of view easily accessible to the entity. This is another means of stating that each within the third density\index{third density} illusion\index{illusion} has programmed for the self a program of study\index{study} which when completed to a sufficient level will allow that entity to experience this condition of love\index{love} that has no boundaries and seeks no return. Thus, to work with those experiences which one finds in the daily round of experience and to attempt to find love\index{love} in each moment is the means by which such love may be found. Each has the program most appropriate for the self, and, as that love\index{love} is found, one need not worry as to how it might be expressed, for it shall find its own level and means of expression that will be as natural and appropriate for the entity as is drawing one breath after another. Carla love-sentence-body.tex:1123: Just as the essence of love\index{love} is the power of acceptance\index{acceptance}, so the essence of evil is the perfect ability to deny what is true and believe\index{believe} what is false. One who wishes evil may seem to offer service to others\index{service to others}, yet always there is some denial of free will, some rejection of some aspect of universal love\index{love}, some implied or stated separation between you and some other. Knowing that love\index{love} created all and that the great original Thought of love forms the heart\index{heart} of all that there is, we ask you to be satisfied\index{satisfied} only with the essences of things. What is the truth and symbol of the truth—except a look of joy\index{joy}, for that which is, is love. And thus, as the unified nature of the creation becomes apparent to such an entity, and the entity begins to move in harmony with the power, the creative power of love\index{love} which is found to move all things, then one more and more readies the self for the graduation, as you have called it, into that density of love and understanding where the veils are removed and the Creator more clearly stands before the entity in all experience. Thus, the concept of the dark force\index{force} that is embodied within speakings of the beast, as it is called, bring not only to the conscious mind images of the very nature of creation itself, but draw through the subconscious mind the faintly remembered connection that each entity has with the entire creative power of love\index{love} of the one Creator. The darker expressions of power, being by their very nature secret and separate, seem more fascinating than the obvious brilliance and power of light manifested as love\index{love}, and through such mysterious and secret fascination attract the attention of many, such as the latest gossip attracts the attention of those who speak over the backyard fence, shall we say. love-sentence-body.tex:1133:I’ve come to greater awareness of the lack of love\index{love} for self with this awareness. I am Laitos\index{laitos}, and we might comment by suggesting the perception which you have shared is in its own way relatively accurate, although there is another way of perceiving the lack of love\index{love} for self which we would suggest at this time as a method, or portion of a method, for finding greater and greater love for, and by so loving the self becoming more and more able to love other selves about one which reflect to one the nature of self. And that perception is that the lack of love\index{love} for self may be seen as a means of preparing the self for greater service. As one becomes aware of the lack of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self, and turns to work upon that quality, one begins to build a stronger framework of the heart\index{heart} of self, and through the strengthening of the core perceptions of and feelings for the self, so is laid a firmer foundation for services that may then be offered to others. Thus, in truth, one may rejoice\index{rejoice} in difficulties, for at these times one is offered the opportunity to expand one’s limited ability to perceive the Creator in all portions of the illusion\index{illusion} and to be of service to those portions which seem unlovable and unacceptable. love-sentence-body.tex:1203: Chose this planet to serve as a beacon to the universe, to speak of love\index{love}, to shine for a beacon of love in the cosmos. And so you sit in meditation\index{meditation} in 1987, attempting to ponder the mystery of the truth, attempting to see through thick darkness the outlines of eternity\index{eternity} and to grasp the nature of the Love\index{love} that created all that there is. And each of you then must needs attempt to become gemlike and crystalline that you may trap\index{trap} light, increase it, divert it, and become reflective illuminations of gathered light, that the sparks may keep shining out of each entity’s eyes, so that those who are still truly in the darkness of earth\index{earth} and mundane affairs may see that there is joy\index{joy} and peace\index{peace} bubbling forth from the face and personality of those who seek the light and the love\index{love} of the one Creator. It is the perseverance and regularity of perseverance which prepares each seeker\index{seeker} to become regularized and crystallized enough to transmit those higher frequencies of love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} which each has incarnated to do. As I do that I am more capable of experiencing love\index{love} for myself and for others, and I have at times experienced what I would consider a lack of compassion\index{compassion} towards, and I’m wondering if that is a true observation on my part or if it’s because I’m so used to old patterns that I do not recognize compassion in the new patterns. Thus, if any feeling has not yet found its fruit\index{fruit} of love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} for any other entity or experience, you may consider pursuing that feeling with the same technique of magnification until the feeling draws unto itself its opposite balance, and within this balance of feelings then may be birthed the compassion which equals the acceptance that each portion of the one Creator has as its birthright. love-sentence-body.tex:1239: The attitude that is the means by which the seeker\index{seeker} views and accepts the manifestations of the various seasons of the soul’s seeking is that which is of most importance in each testing, for if it can be discovered within the point of view of the seeker that each situation has a metaphysical implication that revolves about the concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of that which is, then the seeker is more able to take advantage of the more specific lessons that orbit the primary concept of love that may be found in each cycle or season. love-sentence-body.tex:1328:We ask you to nurture\index{nurture} the relationship\index{relationship} betwixt yourself and the Creator, tuning, honing and intensifying the joy\index{joy} and love\index{love} that you feel in communion with the One Who Is All, so that you may tap into the bubbling, joyous, free ecstasy\index{ecstasy} which love is. Woo your own unconscious as does the lover the maiden, gently, lovingly and caressingly, and respect\index{respect} those things which you receive in dreams, visions and intuitions. May you love\index{love} and respect\index{respect} the Creator within you. Wanderer\index{wanderer}, in your agony\index{agony}, you shall comfort many; in your loneliness you shall share love\index{love}, and every tear, every ache, every pain\index{pain} can be, if you respect\index{respect} these feelings, a crystallized bitter-sweet gift to the Creator, a memento of a dramatic play which seemed to have an unhappy ending. The offering of the self in unconditional love\index{unconditional love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the other self provides the basic environment of healing\index{healing} in which the entity experiencing the splitting or separating of portions of its personality might find helpful. The acceptance\index{acceptance} of such an entity, given in an unqualified manner, will provide the support that is needed to encourage the revealing of the primary conflict by any portion of the personality which is most vulnerable or moved or sensitive to the giving of the love. love-sentence-body.tex:1349:A weaver channels the beauty of the cloth. One who works with people channels a love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, a true listening ear for the entities around it. We ask you to do it lovingly and honorably, honoring yourself and honoring that which this instrument would call the Christ\index{christ} consciousness in each and every face that you see. There are few who are so oriented that they may gaze daily and lovingly at the many errors and peccadilloes of the human self. Many there are upon your planet who sit, shall we say, at the top of a great watchtower, gazing upon infinity\index{infinity} and bearing the sadness and futility of apparent human existence, and with that open and terrible gaze, that pitiless eye\index{eye}, seeing the perfection, the beauty, and the harmony of that great plan wherein self shall meet self until all selves have met and merged and again we are One, the one Creator, the one original Thought which is love\index{love}, not love as you and I know it in a personal sense, but the love that builds and explodes the very stars themselves. May your journey be transfigured by the joy\index{joy} of your countenance, as with perfect faith you reach at last that place from which there are no more steps, no more false divisions, that place where you begin to feel yourself falling, falling and falling, more and more deeper and deeper into an unmeasured and eternal\index{eternal} sea of creative, divine\index{divine} love. love-sentence-body.tex:1358: It is a great blessing and privilege to be called to your group\index{group} at this time, and we wish\index{wish} to touch and bless and love\index{love} each, especially those whom we have not spoken to before or who have been long from this group. We speak at first, of course, of those who know each other, those who have said they love\index{love} each other, and now can find no positivity. Those who are negatively oriented by careful purpose, whether they be incarnate or discarnate, have an automatic battle\index{battle} with those spots of positivity which glow too brightly and stand too plainly upon the hills of personal experience, for you see, you as a positive entity work not for yourself in terms of what you may gather, but for others, for it is the normal and necessary experience of one who is on the journey of seeking through love\index{love} in service to others\index{service to others} that a very large percentage of the time that you experience there will be some elements of negative intrusion, so that the entity feels not at all positive, but sadly out of kilter, out of tune. These are the productive deserts of testing and temptation in which it is necessary only for the pilgrim of positivity to remain peaceful, loving, gentle\index{gentle}, harmless and warrior-like. There is always a solid backing of love\index{love}, courage, patience\index{patience} and the instinct for the proper time to walk away waiting for you if you can but disengage your computer. As a warrior\index{warrior} of light you use no weapon but what may be called the armor of light, the sword of truth, and a wide open heart\index{heart} chakra, loving without stint, without expectation of return, and most of all with no judgment. It is not difficult to love\index{love} negatively oriented individuals once you can connect into that portion of your deep mind which sees each person, whatever the vagaries of trouble\index{trouble} and circumstance, as a holograph of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Therefore, it behooves the student of positive polarity\index{polarity} constantly to exercise the will to polarize further towards positivity, and when negativity is viewed, to stop and give that entity the honor of an unstinting love\index{love}, of a generous prayer\index{prayer} that it may (be] held upward, that it may be protected, that it may be cherished and loved as a child of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. We say to you that those who are armed with light and go forth with that breastplate shining offer their love\index{love} to those who flee before the onslaught of that terrible powerful creative love. You cannot possess this love\index{love}, you can only be a channel through which it may flow. If there is this love\index{love} within you, even such negative societal plans as those monetary and banking schemes questioned about can only seem that which the world wags on about. There is no actual reason that you cannot in such a situation constantly center your mind upon the best that you know, the love\index{love} that you have experienced, the light that you have indwelt, the joy\index{joy} that has been yours, not because you wish\index{wish} artificially to change your circumstances and so be impregnable to evil, but rather so you may enjoy\index{enjoy} yourself and give a lighter, more joyful gift at the end of your incarnational experience to the one Creator. Yet he can ask to be shown where the center of love\index{love} in this experience is. You have not mastered the ability to be constantly loving and giving and caring. Thus, each of you seeks in partial ignorance and darkness, through hope\index{hope} and faith, to find more and more that center of the self which truly sees negative infringements as experiences in which a gift may be offered, a gift of love. We can only add to this understanding our opinion that these physical acts are ways of focusing the deeper portions of the mind so that the mind may bring up that great material of channeled, creative, divine\index{divine}, immeasurable love. When specific people call specific people and start a trip like this on them, is it enough simply to express love\index{love} over the telephone. As we spoke to this it is most important that one recognize the creative power and responsibility that is perfect in one’s perception, and form that perception as best as one can with the foundation firmly rooted in the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of what one sees as the Creator. With this foundation set, then, in love\index{love}, one may construct any action that the conscious mind can form, and act upon this action as the means by which the heart\index{heart} of love may be made manifest. Therefore, if any ritual or image or procedure is engaged as a means by which protection for the self might be offered, it is our suggestion that love\index{love} be the motivation, for in such fashion thus one may love and do as one will. I am Q’uo, and, my sister, we can offer no greater advice than to seek one’s heart\index{heart}’s desires as purely as one can and as you move with passion in that loving expression, for you see each of you have the ability to create the (world] of service and [love] from whatever illusion\index{illusion} stands before you. I am Q’uo, and we find that the measure of time which you have called your new year is a means by which one can take the opportunity to readjust the perceptions, that one might, in the new experiencing, open the eye\index{eye} chakra and point of view to include more of your illusion\index{illusion} and your experience within it within the realm of the compassion\index{compassion} and love\index{love} which animates each portion of your creation. Each, my friends, is a new moment and a further opportunity to open the inner eye\index{eye} to greater love\index{love} within all experience. love-sentence-body.tex:1374: Thus, no matter what circumstance appears before you, whether it be seemingly usual or seemingly unusual, there is in that circumstance, in the relationships about you, and in your days whatever they may be, every bit of catalyst that you need to bring to your attention the conflicts about which you need to make the choice between finding love\index{love} and offering compassion\index{compassion} and using control and effecting separation. As this classroom of yours is attempting to study\index{study} love\index{love}, many lessons are concerned with the right use of compassion\index{compassion} and love. There is the same energy generated by a mother\index{mother} who watches her children\index{children} at play as by what you would call the most advanced and illumined being who was watching the doors of eternity\index{eternity}, for no matter what the object of that love\index{love}, that emotion has within it the strength\index{strength} to create and the terrible strength to destroy. Rejoice\index{rejoice} in exactly who you are and seek to place that honest, naked, uncovered soul in the light and love\index{love} of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, knowing that that Creator is within you and you the Creator. Then can you stand on your two feet and be proud\index{proud} to offer whatever it is you have in a spirit\index{spirit} of love\index{love} and in the hope\index{hope} of sharing that love. What is necessary is that you go through enough processes of acceptance\index{acceptance} and forgiveness that you come into full acceptance of the self, a full love\index{love} of the self as a part of the Creator, and a full and single-hearted commitment of the self as an outreaching portion of the Creator through whom compassion\index{compassion} and love may shine. We bless and offer our love\index{love} to each. There is a female minister who I’ve just come to realize I’m very much in love\index{love} with and she is in love with me. After being hurt many times, I feel doubt\index{doubt}, it’s hard for me to accept the fact that she loves me. Look then to your heart\index{heart} and look to the heart of the other and observe if there is the harmony between the two, that you share a love\index{love} for that which is greater than each. By facing those obstacles which present themselves in your path and resolving each with the greatest amount of love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} that you have within your being, you gain the strength\index{strength} of love and the sureness of your desire\index{desire} to move in harmony with the pattern which is appropriate for your growth as an entity and your service to others\index{service to others} as one who has reaped a harvest of growth. My brother, your steps may not be easy, but there is much of inner strength\index{strength} that can be gained in times of difficulty and we recommend the meditation\index{meditation} for as long as is necessary to discover where the heart\index{heart} of love\index{love} moves you most forcefully and surely at this time, for within your heart of hearts the plan for your life’s pattern which you proposed before this incarnation lies complete, and by intensely seeking this heart of hearts it shall be revealed to you in the way that is most appropriate at this time. I would like to take this opportunity to thank\index{thank} you very much and it has been a pleasure, and your advice has been very, very well taken and well informed, and it has removed quite a bit of doubt\index{doubt} I have had in my mind in listening and sitting here meditating about the love\index{love} that this woman who I am contemplating on marrying has for me. It has brought me around to realize that people can love\index{love} me without me doubting, and again I would like to thank\index{thank} you very much, and it has been a very enlightening, warm\index{warm}, well accepted\index{accepted} advice. Again, we may recommend that in meditation\index{meditation} or prayer\index{prayer} that you determine for yourself that which is your guiding star, that quality, be it love\index{love} or the Christ\index{christ} consciousness or the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} the Christ or compassion\index{compassion} or wisdom\index{wisdom} or truth or whatever quality has for you the greatest meaning and vibrancy. love-sentence-body.tex:1423: First let us say that our basic message springs from one Thought, and that is that love\index{love} is all that there is, that creative and divine\index{divine} love is the one original Thought, that this thought is the closest representation in words which we know to the unseen and ever-mysterious infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and that each of you is a portion of that Creator and the infinity\index{infinity} of that Creator a portion of yourself. You are being a reflection of that beloved and ever unknown Creator. Thus, the experience of fear\index{fear} is that which needs be approached with the same loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and looking forward with eager opportunity as any gift that one may present to the self or another, for each portion of your experience is a portion of yourself which exists in order to reveal itself to you. love-sentence-body.tex:1464: This instrument has been wondering, ever since the last time the beloved entity known as Aaron\index{aaron} was part of a circle\index{circle} of seeking, why we were able to offer material of a high intellectual content. Secondly, this entity is an humble\index{humble} entity, one which is grateful to sit in a circle\index{circle} of beloved entities and enjoy\index{enjoy} their company. This unconditional love\index{unconditional love} offers the highest of vibration within your group\index{group} at this time. Never estimate an entity’s worth by age or accomplishment, but by the ability it has for unconditional love. That which is hatred and that which is anger\index{anger}, and all of those emotions which may be called negative, are distortions of love. They manifest through the distorted individual by blocking energy and trapping this energy in the center involved in the changing, confusing difficulty which is catalyst for distorted love. Thus, hatred is love\index{love} which has been hurt badly. This is especially painful when the entity who is in pain\index{pain} has some difficulty in experiencing self-worth and self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-love. The one which loves the self has the most undistorted energy available to manifest in love\index{love} in an undistorted form of intimate others which offer negative catalyst, shall we say for the sake of brevity, though this is not the exact description. However, the veil has dropped betwixt the waking vision and the evidence that each is also the Creator, each perfect and all one, one with each other and one with the original Thought of love\index{love} which is the Creator. We are aware that each has chosen the path of unity, peace\index{peace}, the love\index{love} of neighbor, the hope\index{hope} for peace\index{peace} within all nations, all hearts and all peoples, and above all the seeking of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Thusly, we would give you harder ways to work upon the distortions of love\index{love} which are the result of blockages which keep energy from moving through the lower energies into the heart\index{heart} energy of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, which the one known as Aaron\index{aaron} has such a great deal of. Each of you has, buried within, an unconditional love. In each case, this unconditional love\index{unconditional love} withstood many trials, but ultimately the illusion\index{illusion} made its mark, and each of you has separated the self from the other self to the extent that the unity of all is not reflected in the relationship\index{relationship} which is under consideration in each case. The gestation of this primal and cornerstone unity is that consideration which you may call deep love\index{love} or deep friendship\index{friendship} or deep commitment. Now this is to say that without minimizing the effects of negative catalyst, the self-forgiven and self-loving self will stand upon its own two feet and consider not judgment of any other, but the most helpful way to respond. The effort this takes is the utmost an entity can make, and when that utmost is not enough, when the entity which seeks fails to love\index{love} without distortion, the entity must immediately begin to forgive the other, the self, the situation, and the illusion. The illusion\index{illusion} is designed as an ordeal, indeed, a series of ordeals, within which, again and again, each soul chooses the positive path of unity, peace\index{peace}, joy\index{joy}, love\index{love} and light, or the negative path of discord, despair\index{despair}, hatred and darkness. In the end, we must move towards meditation\index{meditation} as our primary suggestion for acquainting the self more and more with an undistorted love\index{love}, a light which does not fail. One part is that of the Creator, that of undistorted love\index{love}, and to the body, to each cell, is given this awareness. Think of your inner space as the garden, and realize that it is your deepest desire\index{desire} not to be loved, not to be understood, but as this instrument’s favorite prayer\index{prayer} gives, “To understand\index{understand} and to love\index{love},” for each of you is a radiant being. If that which is done in relationships manifests the love\index{love} and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} One, there can be no more beautiful\index{beautiful} gift to the relationship\index{relationship}, to the other self, and to the Creator. When one loves the self, one loves the Creator. When one loves the self through one’s own perceptions of self-failure, or regains the love\index{love} of self and moves once again in quiet confidence, this one will find the heart\index{heart} chakra unblocked, and the positive energy able to be manifested. Those hatreds, those distortions of love\index{love} which the seeking soul feels for another are only reflections of the feeling for the self. “That which is beautiful\index{beautiful},” it says within your holy works, “that which is good, that which excellent, that which is of virtue, love\index{love}, enjoy\index{enjoy}, do.” These are words of simplistic advice. Attempt, therefore, to seek the Creator, to feel the oneness of love\index{love} and light and to carry that flame within you which has been lit into each and every relationship\index{relationship} and situation you may possibly achieve in this way. You are of maximum service to the self as a creature or child of the Creator, to the other self as the Creator, and finally turning at last from the illusion\index{illusion}, the choice having been made, to the Creator Itself, to the great mystery which draws us all ever forward in love\index{love} and light. May you each choose to love\index{love} and to understand. This giving, without expectation, shall place a call within the universe for its balance, and to one who loves much, shall much love\index{love} be given. Remember the breastplate of righteousness within your Bible\index{bible}, and all the other armor of love. My friends, it is true—love is its own armor. (Side one of tape ends.] love-sentence-body.tex:1491: Do not attempt to force\index{force} yourself into anyone else’s mold, dogma, doctrine or way of thought, for such will only impede your natural progress\index{progress} toward the light and the love\index{love} of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. In that great passion, in that love\index{love}, It created each of those portions of consciousness that sit as one being in this circle\index{circle} of seeking this evening. Thus, the first passion is that you are loved. You are loved enough to have been created. You are loved enough to have been given free will. And you are loved and trusted enough to be set completely and utterly free, your mind carefully shielded and veiled from the deeper portions of its archetypal self, so that you cannot remember who you are, what your make-up is, what your relationship\index{relationship} is to the Creator, or how you wish\index{wish} to respond. Therefore, the first element of passion is remembrance that infinite\index{infinite} passion is the basis for all that you see, for all that you see was created because it was loved—and loved because it was created. We draw you a picture of a seemingly needy Creator, a Creator needy for you, for your love\index{love}, for your reactions, for your information, and in a biased way, this is indeed so. Most of the creation, indeed, rests in love\index{love} unexpressed and uncreated. You are portions of the active principle of the Creator, the Logos, or for want of a better\index{better} word, love\index{love} itself. We suggest to you that when one has contemplated long upon the love\index{love} the Creator has for oneself, then, perhaps, the second step to finding passion is a slow, gentle\index{gentle} allowing of the self to awaken to that love, to listen to the bird that sings for your ear, and, yes, my children\index{children}, it does sing for your ear, if you can but listen, for the breeze that blows so beautifully, for pearl-gray days that soften and gentle the harsh edges of winter moods, for sunshine and joy. In all these experiences, you may remember that this has been a gift of love\index{love}, and that you are completely satisfying your Creator, no matter how quickly or how slowly you advance, simply by being and reacting in a natural and spontaneous way, or in any way whatsoever, to those things which occur. When one is distracted from the natural creation of the Father\index{father} and when one has great difficulty seeing the Creator in each pair of eyes upon which one looks, one begins to move off of one’s center, away from one’s remembrance of love\index{love}, and passion dies and numbness sets in, or anger\index{anger} or another negative emotion, but, indeed, we find that among your people the quality of numbness is marked. Then, with that done, call to remembrance that natural reaction which one may have to being loved so deeply that one becomes absolutely necessary for another’s existence. You are timeless metaphysical entities, and you are beloved, with a passion and a love\index{love} so far beyond any of your words that we must humbly beg for forgiveness for the paucity of our language. But, ah, my children\index{children}, when you can remember, then you may dance the joyful dance of the heart\index{heart} and laugh\index{laugh} the merry laugh of the child, and in that childlike way know for the first time the love\index{love} that is the answer to love, the passion that is the answer to passion, the life of the spirit\index{spirit} that is the answer of a clouded consciousness, to a wonderful light-filled mystery that calls to remembrance. You are beings of love\index{love}, created in love, and you dance through life your own dance. Your jail cells, your prisons, your orphanages, your madhouses, are all full of people whom your society\index{society} could not find ways to love\index{love} but by secluding them. Thus, you cannot look toward your society\index{society}, your culture, for anything familiar to find your own passion for existence, for joy\index{joy}, for vitality, for the Creator and for love\index{love} itself, yet it is there within you, coiled like a tiger’s spring. Each time you choose to serve another instead of serving yourself, you become a more powerful being, a being more expressing of love. Yet, before you express love\index{love}, let it be that you have first experienced the love of the infinite\index{infinite} One. This is the basis of your own perception, of passion, of truth, of love. Thus, the way to passion, the way to love\index{love}, is not easy, for you must along the way empty out of yourself many armorings and defenses against those things which you fear\index{fear} which you do not have to fear, thus freeing the attention so that it may rest upon the fundamental mystery of consciousness. When you first feel the love\index{love} of someone who loves you, the natural response is fondness in return, if one does not have fear. May you desire\index{desire} to experience the love\index{love} of the infinite\index{infinite} One. May you glory in the remembrance of that love. May you respond with equal passion to the Creator which wishes you in turn to create for others the manifestation of that love\index{love}, not through your own limited resources, for you cannot love, even a day; the illusion\index{illusion} is very heavy about you, and there is not the energy within you for such. You are one with an infinite\index{infinite} Source, an infinite Creator, which is at the same time intensely personal, intensely in love\index{love} with you and waiting for your response. We hope\index{hope} you will choose always to gaze at the light, to see the creation of love\index{love} in the eyes of each whom you meet, to seek the love within and to remember how loved you are. Within your particular illusion\index{illusion}, each lesson revolves about the concept that you would call love\index{love} or compassion\index{compassion}, the unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} of all that is as the Creator. At some point within the progression of incarnation, there comes the time that one may call the harvest or the graduation, for as all courses of study\index{study}, there is a point at which the entity shall have learned those lessons of love\index{love} which it has set about to learn\index{learn}, and shall then progress\index{progress} in the evolution of mind, body and spirit\index{spirit} to those lessons which await beyond the beginning of the learning of the lessons of love. This harvest or graduation concerns itself with the entity’s ability to welcome the love\index{love} and light of the Creator within the entity’s being in a manner which allows the entity to utilize this love and light in a dynamic fashion to further expand its understanding of that great mystery towards which it moves, the nature of the creation, and the nature of the Creator, and the nature of the self. One must forget the exact programming of lessons that one has set for the self and operate within the illusion\index{illusion} only by the smallest and simplest of impulses, that which has been called by many of your peoples, “the still small voice within.” One must forget that there is, in truth, no danger or difficulty so great that one cannot find the necessary love\index{love} to overcome all. The entity between incarnations is far more aware of the unity of all creation and the binding quality of love\index{love} which holds the creation together. I am Latwii\index{latwii}, and we, at this time, are within the incarnational experience of that vibratory frequency which you would liken unto the wisdom\index{wisdom} or light-oriented density, that which follows the learning of the lessons of compassion\index{compassion} and love. We have one central emotion, as you would call it, or as close as we can come to approximating that which you call the emotion, for emotions are those mental qualities which carry a certain weight or charge for entities within your illusion\index{illusion}, and it is these charges set upon the mental qualities that allow the learning of certain lessons, all of which evolve about the concept of compassion\index{compassion} or love. That we also experience this emotion of love\index{love} is the central quality of our being, for it is the lesson of the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} entity to find within its being this quality of compassion\index{compassion} for all experiences and entities that should come before its notice. When it is noticed that there is any other response to an entity or an experience other than that of love\index{love} or compassion\index{compassion}, then it is that the entity so experiencing that deviation shall learn\index{learn} from that deviation in a manner which will eventually bring it full circle\index{circle} in order that it shall then experience only love and compassion. Rather, we feel the great upwelling of love\index{love} for the creation that we see about us and for the creation which lies before and ahead of us upon our journey of seeking. love-sentence-body.tex:1511: Each entity may, if it desires, form a cordial and mutually loving and helpful relationship\index{relationship} with any of three guides\index{guides} or angelic presences, as this instrument might call them, which are, in fact, entities which partake to some extent of the self and to some extent of the imperishable greater Self which is the Creator. These are some of what you would call inner plane\index{inner plane} entities, that is, those who have completed their work in your illusion\index{illusion} of third density\index{third density}, but have elected to remain behind to encourage and inspire those who wish\index{wish} to graduate into the density of love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} at the end of this particular lifetime. We do recommend inserting as much humor into the biases of the personality as possible, for that light touch will hold you in good stead as you weave your way through the many, many ways of channeling\index{channeling} the love\index{love} and light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. The task of bringing the self to the point where the components that comprise the self are seen as whole and perfect is a task which requires that the entity investigate the, shall we say, polar opposite qualities that also exist within the being that is known as the self, for as those qualities are explored that already exist within the perception of the entity, the entity will find that each quality calls into the realm of experience that which may be seen as its opposite so that when, for example, loving acceptance\index{acceptance} is experienced in sufficient quality, shall we say, there is a natural setting up of that which is not accepted\index{accepted} as well. For as one defines that which one may accept and accept in a loving manner, that which does not reside within the definition in some degree partakes of that which is not accepted. As the entity begins to explore that which is accepted\index{accepted} and that which is not accepted and begins to conduct this exploration in a conscientious fashion in an ever-widening reach of the life experience, illuminating those dark corners of the consciousness, the entity will find that there is a closer and closer connection between the self and that which has previously not been accepted, so that as this process continues, the entity is slowly able to expand that realm of that which is acceptable and that which is loved. love-sentence-body.tex:1535: Each of you also is an awakening spirit\index{spirit}, and each of you begins to awaken to the need, not only for food\index{food} of the spirit, but for tools and resources, that one find the means of growing the wheat, of removing the chaff, of grinding and breaking that which is hard within you, that the newborn spirit, that the wheat, that the gold which you have made and found within yourself may glow and become a channel for the love\index{love} and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. We feel that it is a kindly universe, a most loving and loving and beloved Creator, and we find that our fates, as far as our teachers know, are most benign, and that our end is never; that we are imperishable beings, created to be the active portion of the one Creator, cells of an infinite\index{infinite} Mind, which learns about Itself because of the interaction of all of us, all of you, all those of your sphere\index{sphere}, all of your galaxy, all those of the billions of galaxies that you may see, all those in the infinity\index{infinity} of the illusion\index{illusion} of this octave of experience. We come to say that there is one great original Thought; that thought is Love. Not a love\index{love} as you know it, but a full and complete love, a love both beautiful\index{beautiful} and terrible, the love of the Creator to know Itself. In that love\index{love}, It created by using free will that which is called consciousness, self-consciousness, shall we say. We come to speak of a love\index{love} that is so great that it does not run out. We come to urge each to participate in that great original Thought of Love\index{love}, for the more that one participates in the great original Thought, the more one’s point of view regarding the mundane and everyday experiences of the life experience become infused with the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator and the compassion\index{compassion} that is felt by the Creator for Itself, all parts of Itself, those who love the dark as well as those who love the light. We ask you not to be discouraged on that account, for the work that you do in consciousness by meditating and listening is that work of the will, the will to discipline\index{discipline} the personality, to change willfulness into that phrase from your holy work, “Not my will, but Thine,” in other words, not the will of free will which is various, but the will of the Creator Self which is a will to love. Do not allow the intellect or the instinct to rule the behavior, but turn again and again to the glory, the unity, the peace\index{peace}, and the joy\index{joy} of the presence of the one infinite\index{infinite} and mysterious Creator, that Thought of love\index{love} which created all that there is. Ah, my friends, what a jewel rests within you, what light, what love\index{love}! You are unique, each of you, unique as snowflakes. You would not be here upon this planet within an incarnation at this time if you did not have a good chance of choosing to be of service to others\index{service to others} to the extent that you polarize enough to graduate from this density to that density of love\index{love} and understanding where the veil between the conscious and the conscious mind is lifted, and much is seen and understood that can never be understood within this illusion. The fourth density\index{fourth density} is a density in which one refines one’s ability to love\index{love} and one’s knowledge\index{knowledge} of love, one’s ability to be love and one’s knowledge of being love. We hope\index{hope} that you may again and again and again choose love\index{love} and serving others over that love which takes, controls and manipulates. May you spend your time with the Creator so habitually that this becomes a resource that you may become a channel for the love\index{love} and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} One. And then, my friends, you shall shine like a lighthouse, like a beacon, for you shall be a channel for love\index{love}, that which does not stop, that which is infinite. We would suggest that the greatest protection for any entity in any situation is to see the self and all other selves as the Creator and to have as the foundation stone of any interaction between selves a true and heartfelt\index{heartfelt} love\index{love} for the other selves. Whatever actions may then depend from this basic attitude of love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance} may then proceed within the boundaries, shall we say, of the greatest protection that is possible. For to those who move within the ways of love\index{love}, there is no fear\index{fear} of any other self, for all is seen as the Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:1552: Anything that is created is created first because the Creator had a Thought, a Thought of Love. Thus, the Creator created a principle, a Thought; it was Love. Love\index{love} chose, out of all the ways to create, the particle called the photon. This velocity organizes and is the tune of love. It is as though there were one universe which contained one great principle, that principle being Love. The universe is one and expresses itself as love. It is, therefore, an entity of love\index{love} and it must be approached lovingly. It may seem unnecessary in meditation\index{meditation} to approach the silence as one would approach a lover, yet we ask you to sit and listen as you would listen to the one you adore, waiting with bated breath for that moment when you are aware that you and the Creator are lost in light together. You travel and are at your very heart\index{heart} moving within this light which has love\index{love} as its product, love that is formed in such and such a may according to the vibrations of light that has formed all that is. You find yourselves attempting to penetrate the mysteries of your existence, which means that you attempt to penetrate the nature of love\index{love} and the nature of light and the nature of free will which has created both of these qualities, the nature of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, that Creator which has chosen to set in motion the creation as you know it, and the creation that lies beyond that which you know, that which rests in mystery. There is within each human heart\index{heart} the ability to express this acceptance\index{acceptance} in a direct ratio with the sincere desire\index{desire} to know what you call truth, for as you sincerely seek the truth of your experience and of yourself, you will find that all has the foundation of love\index{love} and the qualities of light as it vibrates in a specifically defined field that gives you a framework or an environment in which to exercise your love. Thus, the creation has been made that you might play, as it were, study\index{study}, romp as does the young kitten in the fields of experience that are made possible by the vibrational frequencies of the light which enfolds you and the love\index{love} which empowers you. There is, in the relationship\index{relationship} of human beings, the continual trading of the power over the self between various entities for a great variety of reasons, each of which has a relationship to the central theme of the incarnation, the ability to give and receive love\index{love} under a great variety of conditions, therefore, the relationship that has as its foundation the complete power to exercise free will vested within each entity, each entity having a variety of lessons and services that it desires to perform, and therefore when it joins with any other entities there is the interrelationship and interaction that affects both entities in a manner which is described by the preincarnative choices\index{choices} that, in themselves, form the lens of which we spoke previously, that which is the subconscious predilection to see certain events in certain ways. love-sentence-body.tex:1664: As entities are given physical vehicles at birth\index{birth} and move into the world, their first emotion is anger\index{anger}, their second, love. So begins the dynamic of a lifetime: anger\index{anger} at change, and love\index{love} at being fed. This is the beginning of each incarnation, the duality\index{duality} being present from the beginning of hatred of change and love\index{love} of the ideal. It is Love. You may call it the Logos, the Creative Word, but it is in essence a pouring through the channel of the self of the infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} of the one Creator. We ask each within this group\index{group} at this time to pause and allow that experience of love\index{love} poured into your waiting heart\index{heart} to manifest itself to you. Is that love\index{love} not astounding. Is that love\index{love} not impossible for humankind to sustain. That of you which is human is that which must do the manifesting, that which creates the inspiration and desire\index{desire} to manifest love\index{love} of the Creator and love of others, comes from crossing the threshold to the unconscious with the care, persistence and devotion\index{devotion} of the lover who is willing to wait and watch and seek from afar, content to sit at the edge of the crowd listening to that faraway voice at the center of the crowd that speaks the truth, for you have many, many voices within you which are manifestations of biases. However, as you wish\index{wish} to be of service to the infinite\index{infinite} One, and as you wish to love\index{love} each other, know that the universe is, in essence, an emotion, it is consciousness. There is, for instance, no possibility of an entity’s being able to cogitate, ruminate, ideate and manifest love. Indeed, it is possible for such a person to manifest a universal and very real compassion\index{compassion}, but love\index{love} engages being, love sets on fire\index{fire} the desire\index{desire} to help, love causes soil of the heart\index{heart} to become fallow, that seeds may spring therein which flower\index{flower} out into the tree\index{tree} of manifestation of love with its many blossoms, its beautiful\index{beautiful} aroma and its faithful use. It is the chief lesson of this particular density, to learn\index{learn} to love\index{love}, and to learn to accept love, feeling both worthy to love and to be loved. Much has been written about love. Within your holy works love\index{love} is described by many phrases, “Love is patient,” “Love is long-suffering,” and so forth. May we say that love\index{love} in the sense in which we understand\index{understand} it is in the impatience, is in the misunderstanding, is in every portion and every cell, every iota of creation. Thus, the first priority may seem very selfish to one, and that is to learn\index{learn} to love\index{love} the self, unequivocally, with complete self-forgiveness, with full knowledge\index{knowledge} of the various iniquities of one’s own character. Now, you see the interplay of love\index{love} and faith against the dynamic catalyst of a mundane and sometimes intensive nature. Use the intellect to discriminate upon the subject in which you are interested, then surrender\index{surrender} control of the process, carefully and fastidiously, to the love\index{love} within, the spark of the Creator within that makes us all one. Those who have not been able to love\index{love} themselves are by definition unable to love the Creator, for each is the Creator’s prodigal son or daughter, each is an heir of eternity. This is not said to puff you up with pride\index{pride}, but to say that each of you is a cell in the living body of the creation of love. The manifestation of the Logos that is within you, that of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, has never been needed more than at this juncture in the passing (of] your planet into fourth density\index{fourth density} space and time. The density in which you are is a density in which you choose not how to think, but how to love. If you love\index{love} yourself, you will think in terms of manipulation and control, elitism, perquisites and power on a personal level. If your love\index{love} is of the Creator and of those in whose eyes you see shining the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, then you are one who may radiate to that person. The purpose of emotion within third density\index{third density} is so to engage the mind, the heart\index{heart}, and the soul of the entity which seeks that it becomes more and more aware of the depth and breadth of each present moment and possibilities for loving within each moment. Needless to say, we do not speak of the clinging, dependent love. The universe itself is an emotion, it is consciousness, it is love. Each of you will go through many definitions of the word love\index{love} as you experience various facets of conditional and unconditional love. How many times, my friends, have you seen a loved one, and found a way to touch that loved one, to strengthen it with your very being. Do you not see the sweet hand of love\index{love} moving through you in manifestation of the glorious love and light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Not all entities can serve in this same way, as not all entities have been given the same gifts, and as we have said before, all services are equal when done for the love\index{love} of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. You are the hands, you are the voice of the Creator, and as you love\index{love} each other as you love yourself, so you love all that is the Creator. This is the function of purified emotion, to become a channel through which infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} may flow so that you do not dry up like a shallow well or a desert\index{desert} spring, but remain well watered, well fed, well inspired with food\index{food} and drink for the soul. In that consciousness you become hollow, and in your purity of love\index{love} you allow love to speak by surrendering to the Infinite\index{infinite} within. Allow your love\index{love} to spring forward from within. Love\index{love} one another, my friends, and you shall love the Creator, and this purified emotion of sacrificial love shall move you ever more quickly toward the homeland of peace. We ask you only to surrender\index{surrender} to that portion of yourself that you have found to be imperishable, worthy, beautiful\index{beautiful} and able to manifest the fruits of an unconditional love\index{unconditional love} which is your birthright\index{birthright}, which moves through you from a deep place of self-acceptance within. Therefore, unless the intuition is most deep, heartfelt\index{heartfelt} and worthy to the self of being held all through the incarnational life experience, we strongly suggest that you are faithful in listening, and when you go forth from your meditation\index{meditation} you carry with you the desire\index{desire} to love. One’s path is taken one step at a time, one expression of love\index{love} at a time, one expression of honesty which may lance a boil of misunderstanding and heal. To communicate with the heart\index{heart} and the love\index{love} of the infinite\index{infinite} One is to heal, and by the power of that love the Creator may, if all love, transform and renew the creation of the Father. One of these is the idea of accepting and loving yourself. Could you offer briefly some suggestions on how to begin to go about the process of accepting and loving yourself in order to move on to loving others. We are most happy\index{happy} to speak to this subject, for within your heavy chemical illusion\index{illusion} it is very difficult to have an unbridled love\index{love} of the divine\index{divine} self within, for one is so taken with the surface iniquities of mundane living, the little disappointments, the little irritations, the hostility, and all the repertoire of negative emotions, that one cannot even believe\index{believe} that one could possibly be worthy, and, indeed, as a human in third density\index{third density} one is not yet worthy of utter self forgiveness except for one thing: the nature of creation is utterly self-forgiven. Now allow all the pain\index{pain} and joy\index{joy} of this experience of incarnation to be gazed at with eyes of love\index{love}, for you have learned from each and every challenge. Not to forgive an imperfect self—and that is the surface self of each—is to deny that there is more, and that that more is a divine\index{divine} mystery which we may only call love. You are portions of the active consciousness of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator of love\index{love} and light that is within you. And so you do not honor the small self by feeling worthy, but rather you surrender\index{surrender} to the greater Self within, and then you may love\index{love} all of your idiosyncrasies, all of your faults, because you know, beyond a shadow\index{shadow} of a doubt\index{doubt}, that as you slip you may forgive yourself, pick yourself up, and walk on. You are creatures of love. It is the heart\index{heart}, the love\index{love}, the emotion that makes you worthy, and as the intensity of your love of the Creator and your love of fellow men and your love of yourself grow, so shall you become a more and more metaphysical light being, moving affirmatively from your strength—that is, the Creator within—rather than running from, avoiding, or being embarrassed about many, many errors that any limited, somewhat ignorant\index{ignorant}, and often biased child might make. The skin, the muscles, the mind, the simple reaching out of the hands that is possible because you are in physical existence, these are causes for rejoicing, these are causes for thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving} and praise, for you have the opportunity to act as a channel, a worthy and loving channel for the infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} and light of the one Creator. We thank\index{thank} each of you, and would at this time close the meditation\index{meditation}, wishing each to respect\index{respect} and seek the heart\index{heart} within, the deep intuition within, not to denigrate the Earthly vessel in which you move, for though it makes many, many errors, yet it has the hands to give, the mouth to speak, the eyes that offer the softness of a loving glance, the breasts that may give the babe nourishment, the loins that shall produce souls whom one may love\index{love} and by whom one may experience the incredible gift of unconditional love. Love\index{love} one another, my friends, unconditionally, and if there is a condition, use the intellect for that for which it was made. We could suggest that one may look forward to a time when one is not so, shall we say, imperfect, as seen by the self, but we assure you that these feelings of unworthiness, insecurity and other feelings of this kind are designed completely by yourself before the incarnation to teach you to love\index{love}, and to love that which is imperfect is to make it worthy. You are a part of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator; you are worthwhile, necessary and beloved. May you love\index{love} yourself enough to move the imperfections out of the way of your service, and never ever to hold a grudge against the self, but to forgive the self, to intend a newness which is less imperfect in the ways of doing things. love-sentence-body.tex:1677:Is love\index{love} the same thing as space. My sister, there is, of course, a great ambiguity in the quality of love\index{love} and of space. Love\index{love} is that peaceful, creative energy which accepts all as a portion of its being. When one has faith in the other, one begins with an acceptance\index{acceptance} that is equal to love\index{love}, and extends that quality of love as a kind of protective field, shall we say, that shields or protects one’s sense of purpose or rightness, in order that the sense of rightness within the pattern might firm that pattern or attitude of mind in a way that is likened to the construction of a firm foundation for a building. But when one’s heart\index{heart} chakra has been opened enough to allow the movement of this creative energy called love\index{love} to it, and one has experienced this quality moving from the self to another in a service dependable manner over a period of time, then it is possible to feel the extension of this quality into that quality known as faith. The faith that (is] all is indeed well, for all is made of love. At this time we shall, in great joy\index{joy} and praise, move from this group\index{group} in the love\index{love} and in the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:1724: It is the successful heart\index{heart} that is open to these things, yet aware of the power of its own abilities to forgive, to love\index{love} and to accept. Thus, the self values activity without evaluating worth, the love\index{love} one has, the joy\index{joy} one has in each activity, but simply assuming that to give is to be productive, to be busy, to be active. A grieving process for them is understandable, yet it is time also for faith to show itself, faith without understanding, without knowledge\index{knowledge} of any kind, but only faith that things are as they should be, that love\index{love} permeates this and every transaction of the incarnational experience, that there is a path of service in every changed life. How to tell the difference is not a matter for the intellect, not a matter of constant, conscious, careful choice, but a matter of loving, waiting, accepting and listening to the voice that speaks within with the authority of your deeper self saying “Send me, send me here, send me, send me here,” and so you send yourself, whatever the cost may be, if it is possible, for still this feels to be part of your path of service. You are not here, my beloved ones, to have, to hold, to collect, to sustain. You are here to learn\index{learn} in deeper and more resonant ways always, what it is to be of service, what it is to love. You must begin with yourself, loving, accepting, opening your vulnerable self to wear the harshness of your humanity, for you are sturdy within, you have the strength\index{strength} of the universe within, you abide in the Creator, and love\index{love} and light are your nature. Cast aside fear\index{fear}, for your heart\index{heart} shall tell you in good time what choices\index{choices} to release, what choices to keep, and what choices to make for the first time that you may learn\index{learn} yet another lesson of love. May you drop away that which is busyness without undue fear\index{fear}, but with love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and may you accept each change through the pain\index{pain}, through the difficulty of change, in perfect faith that all is well and all will be well, and you are fearless, holding up the light of consciousness to a world hungry\index{hungry} for consciousness and far too full of the awareness of its own clay. Whatever your limitations, do that which you love\index{love} for the joy\index{joy} of it, and if you can no longer do it, wait, for the Creator has more joy in store for you; there will always be joy in store for you. Abide in the desert\index{desert}, meditate in patience\index{patience}, day by thirsty day, until at last you are delivered by your heart\index{heart} into the oasis and thirst\index{thirst} no more, and then give all your love\index{love} away in service to the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and to the Creator you see in each face, beginning with your own. This bridge which shall hold your feet more surely than any street or ground within your illusion\index{illusion}, this desire\index{desire} to know, to move into love\index{love}, into unity, into harmony, fashions that which cannot be seen, but which cannot, in the metaphysical realms, be denied, for this quality of desire\index{desire}, fueling the faith and the will, is that portion of your being that is more real than any portion of your illusion, and more real than any error or miscalculation. love-sentence-body.tex:1736: We are a portion of the creation of Love\index{love}, which is the one great original Thought, the Logos of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator of us all. To these people the blessing of simplicity is given, and they seem to a more seeking entity narrow or dogmatic, yet their way is as valid as any, if by that way they are able to open their hearts in service to others\index{service to others} as they love\index{love} the Creator and as they love the self as heir to the Creator, son and daughter of the Creator, the hands, the mouth and the energy of the Creator alive and working in your environment at this time. Many entities within the childhood experience are cut off from the feeling of self-love. This is perhaps the most common of those limitations which are chosen before the incarnation, in order that the entity may experience and exercise the lesson that one is not here to be loved but to love. The inability to feel the worth of the self derives its strength\index{strength}, for the most part, from the childhood wherein the child is not accepted\index{accepted} as it is, in which the child is not appreciated, feels itself not to be fully loved, feels itself to be criticized, feels itself to be unable to please\index{please} those first witnesses and embodiments of the Creator, the parents. As the parents cut the child off from the spontaneous giving and taking of love\index{love}, so in the mature spiritual search the pilgrim shall find itself laden with a burden of self-doubt, and that even heavier burden of unidentified guilt, for in such a childhood one is given the feeling that one is somehow guilty\index{guilty}, but of what, the child knows not. One is given the feeling that the child is unwanted, and there is no defense possible to that child, for in the young years of incarnation the child is too purely that spirit\index{spirit} which incarnated into the world to have defenses against lack of self-perceived love\index{love}, worth and righteousness. Few there are who truly believe\index{believe}, if they have considered it well, that they are, without some movement of the spirit\index{spirit} within, forgiven all those things known and all those things not known which have been acts which separate us from ourselves, from each other, or from that great principle of love\index{love} which is the Creator. In some entities, because of a childhood in which the entity was greatly loved and was given the love\index{love}, the smiles, the touching, the obvious caring, the entity will far more likely be able to experience a sense of forgiveness through the forgiveness of the self by the greater self within. Others it may forgive, but until one has come to some deep archetypical emotion within which expresses itself to the spirit\index{spirit} in the words, “You are forgiven, you are loved,” that entity shall have a great deal of trouble\index{trouble} loving the self, and thus, its forgiveness and compassion\index{compassion} towards others masks a deep and abiding ache, a wound so terrible that it cannot be described, a wound of the self that will not forgive the self for being human. Those who have been caused to believe\index{believe} that they cannot be as they are and be loved learn\index{learn} to behave and carry into their relationship\index{relationship} with love\index{love} an entity which behaves, rather than an entity which is as it is. Such impersonal forces, principles and entities, are as we, those who speak as inspiringly as possible through each instrument of the depth and resonance of the self of each of you, calling\index{calling} to you to call within yourself, acceptance\index{acceptance}, love\index{love} and forgiveness. Love\index{love} yourself, and if you do not love yourself, work to love yourself. Love\index{love} the Creator more and more passionately, spending time with the Creator in silence, and love and forgive all with whom you come in contact, for you are as powerful as any other human, fallible being. There is that within you which is of the consciousness of love\index{love}, and your wellness, your wholeness and the truth of your being is wrapped up in the concept of yourself as an extension of brother or sister, a fellow heir of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Forgive, console and love\index{love}, the Creator, yourself and others. You have eternity\index{eternity} in which to become joyful, forgiven and redeemed by whatever objectivization, such as Jesus\index{jesus} the Christ\index{christ}, you may choose, or by whatever inner guide that your own background has made better\index{better} for you as a bridge to the eternity and the infinity\index{infinity} of love. Those who offer their help, their opinion, of your situation, have the desire\index{desire} to serve, the basic love\index{love} that propels motion and service. The health\index{health} and wellness of an entity is its acceptance\index{acceptance} of itself, and its realization that all is as it should be and as it must be for the entity to be open to the lessons of love\index{love} received and given in that moment. Those ideas which can be used as tools and resources in the daily life are ideas inspired by love\index{love}, call it what you will. Seems it to speak in humility\index{humility}, compassion\index{compassion} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, encouraging each to love\index{love} each other. Gaze clearly upon the face of love. There is no pride\index{pride}, there is no judgment, there is always love\index{love}, forgiveness and healing. If the entity whom you hear has this love\index{love}, this yearning, this passion and this healing\index{healing}, you may judge for yourself what energy or principle of the Creator this entity is. Lift up your hearts, my children\index{children}, sing alleluia to new beginnings, new understanding, new perceptions of the self, new consolations and a renewal of a passionate desire\index{desire} to know, to love\index{love}, and to express by service to others\index{service to others} the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:1745: We would compare the hunger and the thirst\index{thirst} for what this instrument would call righteousness, and what others would call the truth, or love\index{love}, running throughout all of humankind, moving as does the tide, affecting each, but at a level that is beneath the threshold of consciousness, beneath the veil of forgetting, deeply down within that portion of the self from which all truths are remembered. Just as the tide goes in and out so within your self you are not only peculiarly and uniquely made by your previous biases to view incoming information in a certain way, but also the influx of that information is altered by those energies within your universe which affect everything from the great sea of life within your veins to the great sea of suffering that you see again and again as entities are self-sacrificing because they love\index{love} that which they cannot see. Your consciousness is made up of two things, that which we call love\index{love}, or the one original Thought, that is to say, the Creator Itself, and that primary principle of free will. Your turning to the light, your yearning for love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and your more mature yearning to be loving and be compassionate are such deep portions of your mind that, shall we say, the metaprogram of your existence is based upon this nature. All of your theories, your perceptions and your knowledge\index{knowledge} cannot bring you into a state wherein you may expect to experience the knowledge of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, your Father\index{father}, your Mother\index{mother}, and your Lover. Each of you is a soul, a portion of light, and you are most personally beloved. We say to you straight out, although we are not infallible, it is our opinion that you cannot by any system of knowledge\index{knowledge} become aware of the presence of love. Certainly you may use it, but what you are here to learn\index{learn} is the open heart\index{heart}, the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the unacceptable, the love\index{love} of the unlovable, the meaning of the word compassion\index{compassion}, the entry in a personal way of infinity\index{infinity} and eternity\index{eternity} into the supposedly mundane existence. We suggest to you that it is our opinion that there is no situation which lies beyond the pale of learning, growing and the manifesting of the love\index{love} that is the nature of the self. It is only the transfiguration and epiphany of the self, caused by the process of persistent faith and will in silent seeking, that bring your biases and distortions towards oneness, love\index{love}, hope\index{hope}, beauty and truth, which are, indeed, imperishable. You are eternal\index{eternal} and imperishable, and there is nothing that you can do within this illusion\index{illusion} to affect your true nature, except to determine to live a certain kind of existence which embraces as the center of this existence the love\index{love} of, the praise and thanks to, and the supplication before, that portion of the self that may be spelled with a capital “S,” that portion of the self which we shall never find unless we die to ourselves, and by this we mean that the smokescreen, the confusions, and the embafflement of entities which keeps them from this immediacy of oneness with the Creator is tremendously widespread, and is so challenging that it is by grace alone that one is able in any sort of constant sense to attain the desired\index{desired} goal. This instrument is asking us with some fierceness to retain that which we wish\index{wish} to give for another time, and so we shall, but we do ask each to meditate, as always, persistently, patiently, lovingly and without regard for any outcome. In my case, for instance, the interpretation would have been, “You had difficulty in moving, so the answer is to stop moving.” It is a feeling I have from deep within myself, not subject to the answer, that this negativity is no part of one who loves life and wishes to serve. Hah! love-sentence-body.tex:1845: The rest is illusion\index{illusion}, for all is love. Rather, you are gazing at a situation and you may assume, in most cases, that this is not unacceptable in the deepest sense, but rather a condition of relationship\index{relationship} that you yourself chose because you felt that there were, in your loving and compassionate nature, those difficulties within yourself which made the limits of your love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion}, and the very power of your metaphysical or magical being, less. One very substantial reason is the desire\index{desire} to graduate from this density, and seeing a lack of one particular way of loving within the self, the larger self and the God\index{god} self choose to make agreements with those with whom there is no previous karma\index{karma}, but rather it is an agreement based upon one’s own desire\index{desire} to work upon one’s ability to love\index{love} so that one may graduate and move onward to learn\index{learn} more harmonious and different lessons in the next density. Each need usually in these relationships to learn\index{learn} the same kind of lesson about love\index{love}, and we believe\index{believe} that the word in the question was “acceptance\index{acceptance}.” love-sentence-body.tex:1847:The answer, though simple, is difficult to enunciate. But because of the opportunities of third density\index{third density}, it is quite typical for those who wish\index{wish} to serve also to wish to become even more transparent to the love\index{love} and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. This, of course, does mean the ability to accept the unacceptable, to love\index{love} the unlovable. You did not come here to learn\index{learn} how to be loved. You came to this particular sphere\index{sphere} to love. When there is an unacceptable relationship\index{relationship}, part of the love\index{love} in the lesson is to realize that this unacceptable entity is yourself, not because of something unique between you two, but because we all are one. If one of the entities does not yet remember why it chose this relationship\index{relationship}, then it is that the love\index{love} lies in seeing into the physical vehicle, seeing and comprehending in trust and faith and without fear. Thus, each time that you see the unacceptable entity, it is very well for you to say to yourself, “I came here to love\index{love} and serve. I do not have to be loved. If there is a possibility of keeping the mind centered long enough to say, to yourself, “I am here to serve, I am here to love\index{love}, I am here to forgive, to heal,”—and all of these things are possible through surrender\index{surrender} to the self in its higher forms, which in the end becomes the God\index{god} self—if you can take the few seconds to remember who you are, what sort of being that you are, and if you correct yourself every time that you say “This is unacceptable” within your mind, you are most likely to make great progress. Your part is simply to learn\index{learn} better\index{better} how to love\index{love} unconditionally. To one who has no fear\index{fear}, to one who wishes only to serve and love\index{love}, nothing is unacceptable, for each entity is the Creator, or as this instrument would say in its distortion of belief, each entity is the Christ. It is up to you as to how you go about moving along the path towards unconditional love. Your goal, to put it whimsically, is to see more and more of life, not only as the opportunity to serve and love\index{love} and move forward in your own development, but to appreciate and find, in the end, merriment in all facets of the human experience. Humans are those who breathe in the limitless love\index{love} and light of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator, without realizing by any outward knowledge\index{knowledge} or any proof that they are doing so. It is better\index{better} to remember that one is a servant\index{servant}, a humble\index{humble} and loving servant to humankind. This was not intended to be a comfortable life; this was intended to be an incarnation of very hard work, for the surrendering of the desire\index{desire} to control, and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the need to be loving, whether there is love\index{love} returned or not, to be understanding, whether there is understanding returned or not, is paramount in your path of service. In truth, you do love\index{love} all beings, as you love yourself, and if you do not love another, you must look within yourself to find why you are upset, why you cannot accept. What you can do is realize, through the work that you do with your own consciousness, that you do love\index{love} yourself, and you do love all others, for all of you are one being, and how could you hate\index{hate}, or find unacceptable, your own consciousness. What you wish\index{wish} to do, in truth, is to recognize what is your situation, and to keep recognizing that situation as it changes, accepting that the goal of this incarnation is neither happiness nor contentment, but service to others\index{service to others}, and the learning, for yourself, of how to love\index{love} without condition. We hope\index{hope} that the tools that we have made available are part of what you may use to move into harmony with love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance} and the allowing of all entities to be as they are, and that includes yourself. Your birthmark is joy\index{joy} unrestrained, and overwhelming love\index{love} for all. love-sentence-body.tex:1869: Not worthy of the love\index{love} of the parent, not worthy perhaps of the love of itself, for from whom shall it learn\index{learn} of this love if not from a parent. Had you faith that the Creator had placed this particular situation in front of you so that you might find the love\index{love} in the unlovable and acceptance\index{acceptance} in the unacceptable and hence polarize in compassion\index{compassion} and purity of emotions as is your heart\index{heart}’s wish\index{wish} on the path. Language transmits that love\index{love} that is between one. Not to love\index{love} the self is to reduce by far the amount that you can love others. You can only love\index{love} others insofar as you love and have compassion\index{compassion} and forgiveness for yourself. Are you love. What relation could you have, if love\index{love} created all there is. love-sentence-body.tex:1901: However, this instrument spent only the requisite, appropriate time removing itself from the world of delusion\index{delusion} and reorienting itself to the world of love. Yes, it is necessary that each err and be mistaken as often as it takes in any present moment to affect a change in consciousness for those who polarize as we do towards service to others\index{service to others} as an expression of their love\index{love} for the infinite\index{infinite} One. In the I AM there is only love. In love\index{love} there is no room for fear. Although you identify yourselves with a house of flesh, yet you may dissect all portions of this clothing of flesh and find no consciousness, no evidence of life, or love\index{love}, or passion, or thought. All beloved and unbeloved, through error, entities are in the end one. So rouse the self from its daze with a shout of joy\index{joy} and stand in glad acceptance\index{acceptance} that you shall do all for love\index{love} and in that giving you may perhaps have one outcome or the other. Take these opportunities to polarize, to experience unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, to experience a deep forgiveness of all concerned, and most of all of yourself for being dazed by the illusion\index{illusion} once again. We are most happy\index{happy} to have been able to share in your vibrations and meditations and the love\index{love} for love itself that we have shared this time. love-sentence-body.tex:1933: Where can you go that is not built of love\index{love} and light, that is not of the word, which is love, the thought that created all that there is. So we speak to each of you as beings of love\index{love} and light, who create catalyst by misunderstanding love, because of the manifestations of light which have been biased by those co-creators which are each and every conscious entity among your peoples. You may see the new transformation, the new realizations, as being like the infant in the manger, endlessly beautiful\index{beautiful}, infinitely loving, and utterly vulnerable. Largely by coming to terms with your three so-called lower, but what we would call perhaps fundamental, energies, through which all living light must pass to flow into the heart\index{heart} to give it the power and the strength\index{strength} and the stability it needs in order that it may heal, or communicate, discern wisdom\index{wisdom}, discern spirits, or any other gift of the open heart, all of which are concerned with loving the Creator and human kind. How can you do this if the heart\index{heart} is open, but the energy moving into it must move through far too small an opening because you have not come to terms with yourself, you have not accepted\index{accepted} yourself, you have not accepted your relationships; you have not accepted the primacy of love\index{love}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, over any personal preference whatsoever; you have not done the work of forgiveness, perhaps, or self-forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance}, or more likely, self-acceptance. To love. Not to like, not to prefer, not intellectually to crave, but to love\index{love}, simply that. In each entity’s life there are these things which cannot be liked, but which can, through the grace of an infinite\index{infinite} Creator which is love\index{love}, be loved, and in the loving of them floats a continuous prayer\index{prayer} like a bell tone that rings throughout space and time and eternity. It is a matter of faith not to rebel against the stringencies that open the heart\index{heart} and cleanse the more basic emotions of love\index{love} for the self, for life itself, for the relationships that you have with entities and with social\index{social} groups. But the first gift that one may give is presence, simply practicing the presence of the Creator within the self, and allowing the practice of that presence to shine forth so that those of any kind may sense that peace\index{peace} which is not the world’s, that joy\index{joy} which the world only knows as happiness, the palest shadow\index{shadow} of joy, of love\index{love}, indescribable, but quite clearly observable among those who would gaze at the face of one who truly loves. This is your greatest witness, it is your greatest help to your beloved people and to your planet as a whole, for the planet itself responds to self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and unconditional love. If there is love\index{love}, it blossoms into passion, if there is friendship\index{friendship} under adverse conditions, it blossoms into lifelong kinship. If you are not always open to that which the spirit\index{spirit} has to offer, this day only, then you shall be working with information which has grown stale, and the day that you do not attempt to act as you have learned is the correct way to act, is the day when you must stop any hope\index{hope} of moving further or bearing witness, that you may go into yourself and review that which you have learned, for there is nothing half-hearted about love\index{love}, if we may make a poor pun. Love\index{love} does not regard circumstance. So look to the loving and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the higher power which you may call as you wish. Look to your relationship\index{relationship} with that love\index{love} that created you. Protect this child as lovingly, and with as much feeling of honor. At that time it is neither an act of false humility\index{humility} or false pride\index{pride} to take upon the cross of humanity that Christ\index{christ} of the gifts that have been given each for each to be stewards, to multiply their gifts, and to maximize their ability to offer love\index{love} to this dark planet. (Side one of tape ends.] love-sentence-body.tex:1949:We are aware that this seems in some ways very glib, because the tearing and rending of the self, as one develops in maturity, is certainly most painful, and almost impossible to understand\index{understand} while it is going on. It is necessary only to understand\index{understand} that all things within the self, though contradictory, confused, and to whatever extent unenlightened, are acceptable, beloved, and supported by the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and by that spirit\index{spirit} of love\index{love} that moves with you and is your companion at all times. There is no way that you can move away from love\index{love}, except by ignoring it because of fear. To the Creator, you are always in a paradise, but each of you is in an illusion\index{illusion} which decries the apparent inaccuracy of our previous statement, and it is only by faith that you may feel that love\index{love}, that acceptance\index{acceptance}, that forgiveness, and that support. Within you is a spark of love\index{love} that whether you wish\index{wish} it or not, unifies you, not within the illusion\index{illusion}, for there you must struggle to learn\index{learn}, but within that underlying reality of your spiritual self. This is a useful exercise for learning how each entity within the illusion\index{illusion} of third density\index{third density} distorts the love\index{love} and the light that moves through the universe in a way unique to itself. Come to know the voices that speak within, not so that you may silence them, necessarily, but so that you may recreate a list of priorities in which those voices and the behaviors that they have caused are of a far lower priority than the self forgiven, accepted\index{accepted} and loved in the present moment. You are unique, a child of love\index{love} who has made choices. First of all, if the Creator loves and accepts and forgives, is there a significant rationale for refusing to accept to love\index{love} and forgive either yourself or another entity for behaving or being in a certain way. Respect\index{respect} for consciousness suggests that you and others are equally worthy of respect, care, attention, service, and above all, love. In its persistence and depth there is a beauty not often seen among your people, and we are humble\index{humble} before third-density\index{third-density} pilgrims such as you who struggle and weep and survive to hope\index{hope} and have faith and love\index{love} tomorrow. And when you cannot do this, forgive yourself, accept yourself, and love\index{love} yourself, for these are the tools with which you learn\index{learn} to love all that there is. love-sentence-body.tex:1969: For these, all one who is attempting unification can do is to extend love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} and acknowledgment of the ascendancy of free will within which these individuals have chosen to restrict their use of life. Therefore, we would remind each again not to attempt to judge any entity on the basis of what it sees, for you have no way of knowing what true processes are involved and the responsibility you are left with is simply to offer love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} to each entity as the Creator. The love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} offered from one entity to another on an individual basis is the cornerstone for such work on a global basis and is a vital necessity to any such unification process, or if unification of religion\index{religion} were attained structurally and openly, and yet love and acceptance were not offered on an individual basis, where is the true progress. love-sentence-body.tex:1989: This is why history, especially personal history, is largely irrelevant to the great work of living and loving in this moment, just this one moment. We would speak of the saying of the one known as Jesus\index{jesus}, that saying which he gave to his disciples: “Feed\index{feed} my sheep.”1 Many are the loving servants of the one Creator who are eager to feed other sheep but who do not realize that first they also need food\index{food}, not the food of the earthly vehicle alone, but far more importantly, the bread and wine of spiritual companionship. The very earth\index{earth} beneath your feet is alive and pulses with undiminished, infinite\index{infinite} love. How this being loves you! The friendship\index{friendship} of the elementals of earth\index{earth}, air\index{air}, wind and fire\index{fire}; the devas of plants of all kinds; the ever-rising consciousness of animal\index{animal} forms, all wait to embrace the one who stops to pay attention and to take comfort in the cathedral of what you call nature. When an entity allows itself to admit the entrance of these divine\index{divine} and loving spirits, the air\index{air} is filled with cherubim, the trees with the laughter of the seraphim, and angels ascend and descend in every fire\index{fire}, in every storm, in every calm\index{calm}, in all beams of living sunlight. Thus, palm to palm, heart\index{heart} to heart, love\index{love} divine\index{divine} to love in manifestation—a companionship\index{companionship} of infinite\index{infinite} trust, infinite mercy, infinite kindness\index{kindness}, and infinite love is born\index{born} and forged anew every moment. The need for companions along the way seems to the third-density\index{third-density} eye\index{eye} impossible to be met when one is alone in the way in which it has chosen to walk the path of love\index{love} and service to others. Yet every zephyr of breeze, every silent bird, and all that the senses experience are your loving companions; and the fellowship of the Christ\index{christ}, however it is perceived, is nearer than your breathing, closer than your hands or feet, infinitely more intimate than any third-density\index{third-density} companion. The love\index{love} and caring is always there. It is the entity who must remember to open the door to that friendship\index{friendship}, reach out the hand to that love\index{love} which is so palpable one could almost imagine the incarnative form of the Christed One. How loved all entities are! Yet without the intention to reach out in trust for that love\index{love}, an entity may walk forever in a fog of self-created solitude. Then that fear\index{fear} touches and distorts the honest places of loving and worshipful desire\index{desire} to serve. Yet when there’s love\index{love} and the full experience of God\index{god} and of that love from Aaron\index{aaron} that surrounds me, I know no doubt. In the open heart\index{heart} is stored the true mind which begets wisdom\index{wisdom} and compassion\index{compassion}, which is as infinite\index{infinite} and effortless as the love\index{love} of an open heart. Thusly, in order to open the second heart—the heart\index{heart} of wisdom—one must first gaze at the erected barriers in acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love} for the self that needed those barriers, allowing them to remain until they are no longer needed. This, too, is helpful in finding and allowing the release of fear\index{fear}; for in the first heart\index{heart} there is wisdom\index{wisdom}, but there is only the perceived awareness of the nurturing constancy that is love. The second heart\index{heart} is the womb, ever pregnant with love\index{love}, ever giving birth\index{birth} out of fullness into that which is actually full. Thus, the second heart\index{heart} responds not because of the needs of others, but because it, like sunshine, must propagate its light and give birth\index{birth} ever and ever and ever to its own I Am, which—as the womb of this second heart is more and more maturely experienced—becomes more and more nearly the undistorted, uncreated logos, which is love. How boring to be patient, to wait and to watch, when the heart\index{heart} leaps like a deer and wishes to fly higher than the highest mountain\index{mountain} in joy\index{joy}, in radiance, in awareness of perfect love\index{love}! Yet the will of entities in incarnation is made perfect, not by its use, but by the surrender\index{surrender} of its use to the will of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Yet it is in the darkness of midnight that the messenger of realization, illumination, and love\index{love} comes ever so quietly, walking on feet of I Am, I Am, I Am... What comes to the mental body is a pure desire\index{desire} to love. I felt the mental body was the one blocking the true loving emotion, that when I enter that tabernacle it feels like the emotional body opens and any separation comes from the mind. It is a joy\index{joy} to be with you this morning, to feel the love\index{love} and light that emerge from this group\index{group}; and I thank\index{thank} the principle of Q’uo for that which has been shared. You understood this morning, as you thought that question, that you were asking partially in reference to Kabir’s powerful poem4, where he makes the statement, “How hard it is to feel that love\index{love} with all our four bodies. Then as fear\index{fear} or separation arise, you can gently lift that strand of anger\index{anger} from where it blocks the light, look at it, and ask yourself, “Do I still need this or am I able now to put it aside?” Always do this with gentleness and never with force\index{force}, never asking the self to be what it is not ready to be, but accepting the self as it is so that the being will always be challenged, but always simultaneously accepted\index{accepted} and loved. You experienced this morning the love\index{love} of that spirit\index{spirit} that was known in his last incarnation as Jesus\index{jesus}, and you felt the strength\index{strength} of that loving energy flowing through with absolutely no distortion. Excuse me, Ra\index{ra} calls free will the first distortion—potentiation of an active Creator whose nature is Logos, or love\index{love}.6 But in order to love, there must be that which is loved; and that takes self-awareness, so in a sense we’re saying the same thing in a different way. Am I acceptable and loved?” Suddenly we have a whole load of stones thrown into this river, and now the water\index{water} flows through in many ripples. All separating emotions, even love\index{love}, create distortion and turbulence. Each of you is here to learn\index{learn} to love\index{love} yourself and others more fully, to learn faith and love. It’s very easy to love\index{love} unconditionally in a situation where there is nothing that arises to provoke any feeling but love. But how do you love\index{love} when you are provoked to defend yourself, when that separation arises. Can you continue to love\index{love} when noticing the fears, when noticing the separation and how anger\index{anger} arises from that. As you become more skillful with doing that with each small resentment that arises in your present life, you will find the faith and love\index{love} to go back (to loving in the moments of larger resentment]. Allow yourself to be where you are, always reaching for the next step, but reaching out of a sense of love\index{love}, not out of a sense of despising that which is. It is essential to treat all of this within you with love\index{love}, because your contempt will only further enhance the sense of separation and further fragment the self into what’s acceptable and what’s unacceptable. It is not a fault, simply something of which you must be aware so that you can begin to notice the impatience and allow yourself to return to the joy\index{joy} of this incarnation, knowing that yes, you do come closer and closer to moving beyond the need for rebirth, to knowing your true Self in a deeper sense and connecting with the source of that love\index{love} and light in a deeper sense. As there are no more questions, I wish\index{wish} to thank\index{thank} you all for sharing your loving presence with me. I cherish each and every one of you, and wish\index{wish} for each of you that you could grow to cherish yourselves as those loving spirits and friends that surround you cherish you. love-sentence-body.tex:1997: Fear\index{fear} cannot coexist with love. Along with love\index{love} I also place those experiences of faith and trust. But you are capable of allowing it to flow through you only when there is love. Again, love\index{love} and fear\index{fear} can’t coexist. But you can notice it and reach out to it with love. Would you like me to walk outside with you?”—this is not pushing the child to pat the dog or do anything special, just reassuring it with your love. The child will feel that calmness and begin to touch its own fear\index{fear} with love. You know that love\index{love} is the answer, and yet in a sense it becomes an intellectual mantra: “Love is always the answer.” But what does it mean to say that love is the answer when the heart\index{heart} is feeling fear. How much more lovingly can you relate to the fear. Consciously the instrument feels no fear\index{fear}, yet there is enough respect\index{respect} for probable outcomes that the entity does indeed fear, and reacts in as loving and helpful a way as possible to the animal\index{animal} which honors it by serving as its manifestation in form. We come back here to the visualization I asked you to make yesterday morning of love\index{love} as these concentric circles, of fear\index{fear} and anger\index{anger} as sharp points emerging. The self, the deepest Self, is love. The pure spirit\index{spirit} body can feel nothing other than love. Here I am simply explaining more deeply what I introduced earlier in this evening’s session—that separation from one’s self creates a fragmentation, with the spirit\index{spirit} body sending out love\index{love} and the emotional and mental bodies feeling need. The feeling, then, is one of great distress to that self, because that of itself that knows oneness and knows love\index{love} as the deepest truth is imprisoned in a way, torn out and separated. When you are separated from that sense of love\index{love}, such strong doubt\index{doubt} arises in you that it becomes very hard to get back to that love. As soon as fear\index{fear} is noted, the first step must be to enfold that frightened being with love\index{love}, thus reducing fragmentation so that the being can come back into the center of itself and begin to feel again its connection with the Creator and with all things, and know that it cannot be harmed. Let me explain: While it is true that the being does move out of the way of the truck and that you would not want to stand there in the middle of the street and send love\index{love} to that fear\index{fear} when the appropriate action is to move, the movement does not grow out of fear but out of love that respects the physical body enough to preserve it. Fear\index{fear} is paralyzing and love\index{love} is enabling. But this does not need to be a matter of fear\index{fear}, simply a matter of wisdom\index{wisdom}; and here again, wisdom grows out of love. There is one more thing that I would add, which is that fear\index{fear} can be balanced by loving-kindness\index{loving-kindness} to oneself and others. You may acknowledge that delusion\index{delusion}, and then send love\index{love} not only to the self that is fearing but to that which is feared. When one is in a situation that is in some way threatening, often one responds with love\index{love} to that situation. But it is a small, tender sprout, that of loving-kindness\index{loving-kindness}; and it must be nurtured. Can you begin to bring your attention to each time you respond in a loving way to a situation that might goad you toward separation. You do this not to pat yourself pridefully on the back for that loving response but to nurture\index{nurture} that sprout of love\index{love} within you and encourage it to blossom. It would seem that a sense of terror is inbuilt into the human experience, and one must then ask, “Why?” If one cannot avoid the experience of fear\index{fear} as a human, then one must assume there is a reason why that is given; and perhaps looking deeper into that reason will help one to accept fear in a more loving way. Treat your fear\index{fear} with love\index{love} and gratitude\index{gratitude} for its teaching. It can be a voice of fear\index{fear} or of love. But the self that holds that ideal in front of you is no different than the self that kneels down in prayer\index{prayer} before an image of the Christ\index{christ}, understanding the depth of that being’s love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} and ability to forgive, and knowing that one has the potential in oneself and can achieve that potential as it works at it through many lifetimes, to reach eventually—not in this density but further along the way—that level of pure, unconditional love. We have spoken of the concept in the past few days that this desire\index{desire} can come from a voice of love\index{love} or a voice of fear. It is the voice of love\index{love} that opens the self, that inspires, leading the being to be all it can be and touching the deep sense of acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} when that human can do no more because it is human. We dwell in love\index{love} and light, and would sculpt the final thought of this extremely enjoyable session of working. A continual “medication” of meditation\index{meditation} in ceaseless remembrance, love\index{love} and praise of the infinite\index{infinite} One places one’s conscious awareness in a state far more resonant with unity than an unprayerful state would be, in relation to its ability skillfully to perceive. Be gentle\index{gentle} with this and patient, and remember to remember the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, whose nature is limitless love\index{love} and whose every manifestation is light. May we of Q’uo speak for the one known as Aaron\index{aaron} in thanking each for the passionate love\index{love} of the Creator and of service to others\index{service to others} that has called us here and given us an incredible opportunity to triangulate upon a central question. (We offer] our blessings and our love\index{love}, our peace\index{peace} and our joy\index{joy}, our love, our light. love-sentence-body.tex:2001: It must be allowed by leaving it in the nurturing sunshine of one’s love. You have heard me say many times that love\index{love} and fear\index{fear} cannot coexist at the point where you understand\index{understand} fully that you have always been “that”—even though sometimes you act as if you were not—in that place there is total harmony with all that is. So, as you are able to turn around and relate more lovingly to that fear\index{fear}, you move yourself further on this path, reducing what I have called the specks or shadows from the self so that that self becomes more transparent and is more nearly ready to reach into higher levels of light. The voice of “should” is learned before the small entity has gained enough experience to count as irrelevant all suggestions that do not fall upon the heart\index{heart} with the feeling of truth and love. The psychology, if you will, of redemption\index{redemption} is the choosing of a perfect symbol which then is able to forgive the self because its very nature is love\index{love}, which always accepts any gift that is given. Then when “shoulds” and guilt arise, one may experience redemption\index{redemption}, not only from an imagined other self but in a hearty, earthy and substantive way as part of the process of love\index{love}, which includes love itself and therefore a lack of judgment. You perceive the fear\index{fear} that asks you to hold back and you miss the beautiful\index{beautiful} bravery and love\index{love} exhibited each time you take a new step. The question, then, becomes how to make that sense of responsibility appear as it really is, a joy\index{joy} and a gift, so that even your unskillful choices\index{choices} can be met with love\index{love} and not self-denigration. When you can come to that place with a prayer\index{prayer}, opening yourself to all the love\index{love} coming from within the self and coming to the self from without, then the voices of fear\index{fear} or anger\index{anger} or greed\index{greed} are heard as voiceless echoes. All of you, at one time or another, fail to notice the positivity within the self, the generosity, the patience\index{patience} and loving-kindness\index{loving-kindness}; all of those beautiful\index{beautiful} qualities which are part of this beautiful being that you are. One is to begin to notice more and more carefully all those times when you are loving and patient and kind, to begin to allow this beautiful\index{beautiful} self to move into the sunshine of its own love. Also, it is useful, when one perceives oneself as love\index{love} and will not allow that this is so, to ask why you will not allow it. And although it feels itself to be unworthy, the force\index{force} of its love\index{love} is what gives it the courage to seek that connection. How can you allow the force\index{force} of your love\index{love} to come to the forefront of your awareness so that it can lead you into the full knowledge\index{knowledge} of all that you are and always have been, to lead you past that fear\index{fear} that calls the self unworthy. How much more lovingly can you begin to respond to all these forces within yourself. Such a visualization about the loving self might be such as this: Within you lies the small child which is attempting to do well, and (which] perceives the self constantly through the awkwardness of childhood as failing to be adequate to its own requests of the self. Picture, then, the loving self; and you are indeed all very loving entities as the nurturing parent. Would the parent within you turn to a child and scold it when it has acted in self-perceived error, or would the loving parent take the child into the cradle of its arms and place the child’s head where it can again hear the heartbeat of the womb. But that is only a small portion of you, my child, my beloved one.” As the parents rock\index{rock} and nurture\index{nurture} this baby\index{baby} child, the feelings of safety, of security, and of being loved slowly and gently allow the child to accept its own vampire and to find that it is not so scary after all; that vampires, too, fall under love\index{love} and care of the nurturing parent. Thus, may your own lovingness be shined as the light that it is into the darkness of that child which is fearful. The loving parent is wise\index{wise} to advise the child to be silent, to let not the outer expression of new realizations become important. When the child is willful, the loving self gently reminds the child within that it may remember all the many times that willfulness has not been a skillful choice of attitude; for in willing from within the conscious mind, there is an ignoring of the greater will of the Higher Self which is lost in the Creator so that self and Creator are truly one. It is the work of faith to enable that small child that is nurtured by the loving parent within to present to that child’s eyes a view of an whole and unified process. In surrendering a small volition, one is able to hear, at last, the volitions of love\index{love} itself. Thus, if you see another’s misunderstanding, you may gently and lovingly point out that misunderstanding while assuring the being that it has your full acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}, whether it accepts that misunderstanding or not. The example, then, is not to be perfect but to accept the imperfections in the self and in other selves with love. Nearly perfect expression of a life lived in faith with no “buts” but only a loving awareness of the flowing of all that is necessary to learn\index{learn}, moving to each one, through each one, and sweeping into infinity—that is the true nature of consciousness as an Infinite\index{infinite} Intelligence. The skillful help one may give the entity who does not ask questions, but is suffering, is simply to allow the overwhelming compassion\index{compassion} within and send, out of fullness of Self, that loving and healing\index{healing} energy of acceptance\index{acceptance} of that other self just as it is, with all of its self-perceived imperfections. How beautiful\index{beautiful} is this service, and how grateful we both are to the dedication and love\index{love} which allows this calling\index{calling} to come to us. love-sentence-body.tex:2006:One of the things that all of you are here to learn\index{learn} is to approach—not to attain but to approach—non-judgmental and unconditional love\index{unconditional love} for yourself and what you perceive as other selves. Then you can begin to accept his anger\index{anger}, so that when he is angry\index{angry} he still feels love\index{love} from you. Sometimes one needs the catalyst of anger\index{anger} in order to be challenged to look at one’s feelings more deeply, to uncover the love\index{love}, and to nurture\index{nurture} that. He was slovenly in his personal habits. Of course, one starts with the self, finding acceptance\index{acceptance} for that anger\index{anger} in the self so that one may not judge that in others, but may love\index{love} that, and all aspects of all beings. How does one love\index{love} another’s anger. It is not the anger\index{anger} that one is loving, it is the spirit\index{spirit} of the being itself, which is pure and holy and beautiful. You can do nothing with his anger\index{anger} but to love\index{love} him and to love yourself. As you create that doorway through your own power of love\index{love}, when he is ready he will walk through it. The best teacher\index{teacher} of accepting the negative aspect of the self is the drawing of the attention, as the one known as Aaron\index{aaron} has so rightly said, to those many times when one is experiencing, either in one’s own mirror\index{mirror} of self to self or in the mirror held up by another to the self, all the loving, compassionate, helpful and wise\index{wise} portions of the self. Always, infinity\index{infinity} is at the behest of one which chooses to remember the infinite\index{infinite} Creator and the love\index{love} the entity has experienced from this great source of love. When the parent authentically establishes an healed awareness of self, when it is capable of saying, “Just as I am, just this much is perfect in a way I do not understand\index{understand} but perceive by faith alone,” then compassion\index{compassion} flows from that womb which is the true heart\index{heart}, which is ever pregnant with the fullness of love\index{love} and ever propagating itself in seeds of fullness out of fullness that may rain upon those about it. What is concern but a kind of fear\index{fear}, fear lest that loved one not be happy. It brings its gifts, it holds in its embrace the self, it shares in rejoicing and love\index{love}; and quickly, perhaps before the self has even grasped the source of this happiness, the weather of the emotions becomes cloudy and the happiness is gone, leaving the self, perhaps, to brood overmuch on loss of happiness. Once the element of fear\index{fear} is removed, the loving heart\index{heart} is content to offer itself without condition and without over-concern for the pain\index{pain} of a beloved other self. My question is, in my life I am looking for love\index{love}, for someone to be with and share my life with. My question is, While I attempt to accept myself, am I being counterproductive in even attempting to find this love\index{love} outside of myself. There is that part of you which finds itself to be lovable and loving, and wishes to share that love\index{love} with another self. You see yourself as a loving being. You have work to do, yes, but (are] still a loving being, a spiritual seeker\index{seeker}, and a good and caring person. One, that comes from the heart\index{heart}, is a voice of love\index{love}, and one, that we would call the voice of the brain or of reason, is often a voice of fear. You have one voice within you that asks you to trust yourself and trust others, to allow yourself to open, to cherish that beautiful\index{beautiful} self within as a bud, bringing it into the sunlight of your love. What is this fear\index{fear}?”—not to track it down analytically as it grows out of this or that event of childhood, but to begin to see all the anger\index{anger} and lack of self-acceptance behind it and to relate to that with love\index{love} and compassion. Each of you here would respond with great love\index{love} if someone else had told you your own story. It is not that you need to become more lovable before someone will be interested in you enough to have a relationship\index{relationship} with you. It is not that you need to become more lovable, to have enough to offer to another so that it seems right to offer yourself; rather, it is that you need to love\index{love} yourself enough and to trust. At times, the trust will not be met with the same level of love\index{love} and trust. Finding a deep and loving relationship\index{relationship} with another will teach you something. How difficult to let go of the edge and proceed with faith and courage that one is always where one needs to be, and that the next learning offered, whether it is of loneliness of or love\index{love}, is exactly what one needs. If one is able to accept that love\index{love} that is offered and to move beyond the fears a bit, not getting rid of the fear\index{fear} but allowing it to fall away as it is no longer needed, then one finds that a world of love is offered. It is expected, rather, that in the darkness of unknowing and by faith alone, one may see that the incarnational experience is a process, first of choosing the way that the self wishes to be distilled, of what essence it wishes to smell; and then having made that fundamental choice of how to love\index{love}, opening oneself to the very painful process (to the self, which does not like to change) of distillation or refining. Thusly, one is simply hoping in a relativistic way to approach nearer and nearer to a heartfelt\index{heartfelt} dedication to begin the refining process in a conscious manner, not simply reacting to the stimuli in this thick darkness of unknowing but choosing rather to live a life in blind faith and to prosecute that first choice of service to others\index{service to others} which does begin in love\index{love} of self with every possible vehemence and passion. Yet we would suggest that loving-kindness\index{loving-kindness} and mercy be a portion of self-awareness, so that one is able to move into the refiner’s fire\index{fire} only when it will not do violence to the young, precious spiritual self that was born\index{born} immaculately within when the first decision was made of how to serve the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Aaron love-sentence-body.tex:2011: You realize we must speak in some terms of overgeneraliztion as each relationship\index{relationship} is most individualistic and specific and there are indeed many mothers and fathers who are perceived by their children\index{children} to be adequate and loving nurturers however there are many who may, while attempting from their own perspective, to be as loving and nurturing as they know how, they yet, in the non-acceptance of the child entity in various matters which may be more or less perceived by them to be so, instill the child entity with the voice of criticism of which you spoke and indeed there are those mothers and fathers who do not find it in themselves to be nurturing and loving and find that all they have to offer is this voice of criticism. Many of your entities seem to have the bias of opinion that states that the role of the mother\index{mother} and father\index{father} is properly that role of the all accepting, all nourishing, all loving parent and that whenever the parent entities fall short of this goal, they are then responsible for the damage incurred by the children. This however, is not the case for as you are aware, the purpose for which third density\index{third density} entities have incarnated is in order that they might learn\index{learn} the lessons of love. If each entity were born\index{born} into a family where the only thing experienced was total love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, the experience of the entity would be similar to those entities who incarnated before the advent of the veil between the conscious and unconscious minds or before the availability of the choice between the positive and the negative paths, the result being that with no stimulus which is perceived as negative, very little growth takes place. Thusly, for one who incarnates for the purposes of learning the lessons of love\index{love}, the perceived absence of love is essential in order that such learning may take place. If the perception of love\index{love} may be felt as total acceptance\index{acceptance}, then the perception of the absence of love may be felt by non-acceptance, which is manifested in the criticism of which you spoke. This relationship\index{relationship} is by no means the only situation by which entities may learn\index{learn} these lessons of love\index{love}, throughout the life, many other relationships and situations will be encountered in which again the non-acceptance or the criticism is experienced however, most entities will choose to set up these lessons early in the life pattern so that the patterns have got an attitude having been established at a very early age, have the opportunity to grow throughout the incarnation and interact with other situations that may be perceived similarly thus affording the entity multiplied, shall we say, opportunities for learning these lessons. The learning of the lessons, of these lessons, as always with the lesson of love\index{love} focuses again and again on the acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self and the other selves in the light love-sentence-body.tex:2098: You wish\index{wish} to know how to be better\index{better} at relationships, at the important central relationship\index{relationship} of mates, of dearest friends and companions, of lovers and those who hope\index{hope} together and despair\index{despair} together, and share the deep places of life together. Any—shall we generalize—any question concerning the lower energies—and by this we mean dealing with the self, dealing with any other self, or dealing with groups of other selves—has reference either to being energies that are blocked within the self, energies that are distorted by over-action within the self, or energies that in some way do not find it possible to move into the open and loving heart\index{heart}, that great energy center which is the first energy center capable of unconditional love. Love\index{love} one another, my friends, for it is the outward expression of being in love with yourself. But you shall seek and you shall learn\index{learn} more and more about loving and allowing the being loved to occur as a reflection of an unjustified and utterly appropriate spiritual oneness with the Creator. Find the faith to seek without ever hoping to know and prove it, and in mid-air you shall find the relationships that are so central to your comfort and peace\index{peace} becoming more and more full of the love\index{love} that is the special and exquisite freedom of a quiet and faithful mind and heart. As one entity finds the center of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, then this energy of love and acceptance is radiated to the other entity and the possibility of calming the storm is increased. We are honored to have been invited to join you in seeking clarification for your journeys as you travel together that great road that leads into the mystery of unity and into the experience of the love\index{love} and the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:2106: The energy of spirit\index{spirit}, not just disincarnate spirit but of all spirit in this room, is very lovely to behold. The thing I notice most frequently that people ask me is how to be of service to other people when they have not yet learned how to love\index{love} themselves as human beings with faults, so that they can have compassion\index{compassion} on themselves and therefore have compassion on other people. Is the heart\index{heart} not full to bursting with compassion\index{compassion} and love\index{love} and will. And that consciousness is that which is purified by a fire\index{fire} of desire\index{desire} which tempers consciousness, cleanses it of the confusing, self-deprecating, or arrogant emotion so that one is neither consumed with unworthiness nor battened by pride\index{pride}, but merely is, as is the Father\index{father} of all things; merely is, as is the Nurturer of all things; merely and utterly is, as is the spirit\index{spirit} of love\index{love} that is the nature of all that there is. And if the purified consciousness has been purified towards love\index{love} without any hindrance, let, or stint, then the service of such a one will be beyond description. Thus, you tend\index{tend} to become lost in that small percentage of the service that is guided by ego, rather than the much greater percentage that is guided by true aspiration to serve God\index{god} and the deep love\index{love} for all that to which the servant\index{servant} feels itself connected. Come in fear\index{fear}, I have been expecting you.” Give yourself a hug and return to the act of loving, of worship\index{worship} of God\index{god}, of extending your loving energy in whatever ways you can, not just to others but to yourself. For if you are of love\index{love}, and if you have consciousness aware of itself, is this not the only undistorted transaction of which you are capable: the giving and the receiving of that great service which is loving. Only those selves who see that they are not only on holy ground, but they are holy ground, can move from being a “he”; a “she”; an “it”; a noun, into being a verb—a transitive, acting verb that connects love\index{love} with love; that acts as catalyst between subject and object, because it knows that subject and object are one. Subject is love/object is love\index{love} if the subject is self and the object, other self. One who is the path and one who knows itself as holy knows that self and other self and all that there is exist in a ground of love\index{love}; and love speaks to love, serving and served, loving and loved. And as distortions are released; as fear\index{fear} becomes less necessary; as this process gradually takes place, the self becomes the path, the gift and that servant\index{servant} which is finally transparent to love\index{love} flowing through it, never from it, flowing to it but never remaining, for love flows as endlessly as the sea. Are you love. Can you allow love\index{love} to flow through you and allow the images that you show to others by reflection to be clear and lucid and shining with the light of a truth that is beyond you but can only flow through you. We ask you to ponder this second statement as a corollary of the first, for it does deepen and aid understanding and grasping of the nature of the self as a servant\index{servant} of love\index{love}; and thus, in serving, served; and thus, when served, serving. It is all meditation\index{meditation} because at that point, as she washes the dishes or holds her son, she is service; she is love. What could be better\index{better} preparation for channeling\index{channeling} than holding a child on your lap and giving him love. It is not a doing, but a being, an attitude, a way of approaching the world and yourself with love. And as you allow loving self-acceptance to replace that fear\index{fear}, then you become love\index{love} again and you become service, service to all beings. The distinction, then, becomes intention to serve fear\index{fear} and the solidified self that grows out of fear versus intention to serve love\index{love} and the deep connection that grows out of love. If you are a creature of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, then the answer to that for those who feel that the Creator is love\index{love} is that you are a creature made of love. You are love\index{love} and you are becoming and you are creating. How beautiful\index{beautiful} you are and how inspiring is your steady and persistent gaze upon truth, beauty and love. Service is not just the big things, but the little smiling to another, washing a plate or glass, petting a cat who is seeking affection, being love. Watch for any arising of “I should.” Begin to distinguish the movement of “I should” through the third chakra of will and determination and the “I Am” of love\index{love} expressed through the open heart\index{heart}.4 The more deeply you can move into awareness of these patterns in yourselves, the less control habitual pattern has over you. As you bring increasing awareness to it, you find freedom from reactivity to it—simply noticing, moving back to “I should,” moving back to separation and coming back to allow the heart\index{heart} to open again through loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} for this being who moved momentarily into fear. I love\index{love} you all and am filled with joy\index{joy} at the opportunity for this sharing. Green\index{green} ray is the heart\index{heart} chakra and has to do with loving unconditionally. Aaron\index{aaron} is suggesting that one move from the use of the will and “should” in yellow\index{yellow} ray to the use of love\index{love} in green\index{green} ray.(footnote end] love-sentence-body.tex:2114:And each moment of attention to the arising of fear\index{fear} in you brings you closer to the purity of non-judgmental acceptance\index{acceptance} of everything within the experience of mind and body, not mine or yours, but all of ours. It is this unconditional love\index{unconditional love} that you are here to learn\index{learn} and practice and express in whatever ways you are able. My love\index{love} to you all. love-sentence-body.tex:2131: Others there are among you who do a great deal of work within, calling\index{calling} it prayer\index{prayer} or meditation\index{meditation} or worrying or concern, sending love\index{love} and healing\index{healing} to those who watch and suffer\index{suffer} and wait and perish. There is a lovely orison sounding, with millions of souls blending at all times; your planet prays without ceasing. In the heart\index{heart} lies that beingness which gazes at this experience of third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} and chooses, in faith alone, to be a part of the love—the good, if you will—of the personal, societal, planetary mind. We ask each of you to touch yourselves with loving and forgiving hearts, to be healers of the self, and to allow that healing\index{healing} which is from eternity\index{eternity} to eternity to move into the ever-wounded conscious self so that each may become a healing expression and manifestation to those about each, not by word, but merely by the point of view. Let your hearts be those open channels of love\index{love}, and may you love each other, for the suffering is part of learning how, truly, to love and, eventually, how to be love. This vehicle is that which is associated with the fourth energy center or chakra, that having to do with the heart\index{heart}, so that the primary influence of this body and its experience is that of learning the lessons of love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion}, mercy, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance\index{acceptance} so that entities will have a greater opportunity to see the Creator in the creation about them, and to see and express that Creator within the self as well. These entities offer their light and love\index{love} just as a portion of their very being glows more brightly with the honor of standing closer to the light of the one Creator. However, each entity in the heart\index{heart} of its being is aware that, though there is a home that may be located elsewhere, that the true home of all seekers of light and servants of the one Creator is within that service and within that light that comes from only one source, the one Creator, and each may take solace in knowing that the Creator resides within each entity and shines the light of love\index{love} and service to all equally. I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister, and this is correct, that the home is truly, as your peoples say, located where the heart\index{heart} is able to love. As each entity moves through the various densities or dimensions of light, learning each lesson that is possible there, much experience of a various nature in intensity and in type, all having to do with the qualities of love\index{love} and light, are gained. All experience within your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} has the purpose of teaching some facet of love\index{love} and acceptance. The more difficult the challenge or test, the greater the possibility for learning love\index{love} and acceptance. The traumatic conditions, such as that of your warfare, offer great immediate opportunity for entities to see the possibilities of love\index{love} and service to others\index{service to others}, such as when a soldier would jump upon that which you call the grenade to save the life of a friend. Each time an entity is able to increase the level of spontaneous, harmonious response to a difficult situation, there is a lightening of the vibrations of this planetary influence that aids the entity that is the planet itself as it also makes its transition into that density of love\index{love} which now beckons. love-sentence-body.tex:2135: Still within your peoples’ cultural minds there is an opinion that males learn\index{learn} love\index{love} by learning to provide physical safety and comfort for those whom they love. Females learn\index{learn} the lesson of love\index{love} which involves sacrifice\index{sacrifice} of the self to the life path of the provider. In your density, lessons all have to do with learning to love\index{love} in society. As you are able to fall in love\index{love} with your, shall we say, human self, that is the persona or shell of personality through which your spirit\index{spirit} expresses itself in this experience, just so will you be able to treat other selves. However, compassion\index{compassion} and love\index{love} do not grow from avoidance or neglect, and trouble\index{trouble} avoided is the unlearned lesson of love which shall even more surely and more clearly be presented to you again. Not only speaking and conversing with infinite\index{infinite} intelligence concerning this situation which you dearly hope\index{hope} and desire\index{desire} to find a way to manifest love\index{love} in, but also to bring it into the silence, for words unheard have deep, deep effects upon the conscious ability to manifest as you desire. Whatever the level of self you are dealing with, it is a self to which you wish\index{wish} to connect with love. As you consider how to make a compassionate response, let the mind dwell on images of compassion\index{compassion}; the wise\index{wise} old man in the desert\index{desert} who sits patiently aware that there is no escape from the merciless heat, and therefore composes himself in blissful meditation\index{meditation} to await the change of consciousness from the life in the physical body to life in another body; the tears falling upon the body of the wounded\index{wounded} as the nurse and medic attempt to save the life, tears of deep love\index{love}, of frustration and of gratitude\index{gratitude} when a life is preserved, yet those tears bless those whose lives are not preserved. You are objects of love\index{love} and mercy and infinite\index{infinite} compassion\index{compassion} because you are part of love—part of a Creator. But if you can open your heart\index{heart} and sweep aside the pretensions and blockages of self, of relationships, of all those things which would seem so important, and move to yourself as the object of love\index{love} unlimited, free flowing and infinite\index{infinite}, then you are merely that through which compassion\index{compassion} moves, and you shine infinitely. To love\index{love} the dirty dishes is worthy, just as to offer instruction for healing\index{healing} to many is worthy. We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, thanking this instrument and this group\index{group} and leaving this instrument in love\index{love} and light. Is there any way that you can address an already, you know, in place feeling from somebody else—that he just flat doesn’t like you, other simply than forgiving him that and loving him anyway. Could you write the person a love\index{love} letter and then drop it down a well and expect it to do any good. The writing of the love\index{love} letter, as you have put it, can be effective if that letter is written in the heart\index{heart}’s true compassion\index{compassion}, for, indeed, all are one, and as you search your heart for the foundation of your feelings, you open a pathway to the entity that is the focus of concern, and offer to that entity upon the metaphysical levels the gift of your love, which will, in what you call time, so move both that entity and your own entity in the daily round of activities in a manner that will allow that love which has been found at the center of one’s being to move to the more mundane and daily round of activities. This is to say, that in all transformations—or as they are often called amongst your peoples, in all initiations—there is the testing, the opportunity to express the quality of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} that are yours to express. When you become aware of any situation which is not as you would have it be, look carefully for the place that your love\index{love} may be put so that that which is the highest and best of your offering may be that which you give freely. Look at those who seem separate from you, and see not only the Creator there, but see yourself there as well, and feel the compassion\index{compassion} for that entity that you would feel for any honest and sincere seeker\index{seeker} of truth that has for the moment closed its eyes to the heart\index{heart} of love. love-sentence-body.tex:2139: To many cultures, the eroticism of hidden genitalia and physical forms in general is considered a positive beauty, a pure truth, and were each biological male and female to value the body sacramentally it would become clear that human physical sexuality is an information resource which like any other speaks of the love\index{love} and the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. As each seeker\index{seeker} moves along the highway of the Father\index{father}’s mystery seeking love\index{love} and truth it is well to encourage the self to love and accept the self, beginning with the physical body, its sexuality, its every curve, dimple and seeming marred place or imperfect place. Loving the self within the skin is far more readily attempted when one has loved and accepted\index{accepted} the skin, the shell of physicality which carries about the consciousness which you truly are and which manifests within this illusion\index{illusion} your field of consciousness, desires, questions and often cryptic answers. Every cell of this body vibrates with the love\index{love} and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} One. Very well, if we have been able to encourage feelings of acceptance\index{acceptance} and respect\index{respect} and love\index{love} for the gallant body, then it is time to move on to the seeking of that within which seems archetypically female. It is with this lover’s delight in the right choice that the conscious mind reaches for the lovely, gentle\index{gentle} and very powerful subconscious. The farmer cannot say how the seed\index{seed} germinates and grows, nor can the seeker\index{seeker} say how inspiration has come, yet the farmer knows to collect seeds of the appropriate type when it is planting season, and so the intelligence of the conscious mind chooses its seeds in the fastidiousness of its courtly, loving and patient approach to the fertile subconscious. The desire\index{desire} of the conscious mind for truth, for information about how to love\index{love} the Creator, how to know the Creator, how to serve the Creator, may be further and further purified as seeking proceeds. The questions do not change but the process of seeking the answers can be more and more refined so that the lover of truth has ever more abilities to penetrate in a gentle\index{gentle} yet fruitful\index{fruitful} way the recesses of the unconscious. See that consciousness within which is the spirit\index{spirit} of truth, the unconscious as that which is touched by fire\index{fire}, that which becomes the fire so that as the seeker\index{seeker} seeks within itself it is aware that that which it seeks within is a miniature, holographic representation of that highest truth which is the infinite\index{infinite} Creator, the intelligent infinity\index{infinity} which moving through ethers and ethers, dimensions and dimensions, stays true to its spirit as octaves stay true to their tone so that the subconscious or unconscious is in a fruitfully thought of way the Creator, the Highest Self, and this Creator may create, and you as co-creator may co-create and invent and manifest so that as you seek within, the unconscious organizes itself according to the gentle\index{gentle}, loving courtliness it has received from the conscious mind, and becomes attuned towards wishing to give the outer or conscious portion of itself more information so that the way in which you approach wisdom\index{wisdom} creates the precise kind of information you shall receive. Now, the other portion of this figure is that when information has been reached for lovingly and received with respect\index{respect} and molded to the self’s person, or spirit\index{spirit}, or character it may then have a strength\index{strength} which is not simply your own but which contains higher octaves of spiritual wisdom\index{wisdom}, so that as you are able to manifest the blossoms and fruits of the subconscious these retain a quality of infinity\index{infinity} and are able to refresh and renew not simply the self but other selves as well, and this without tiring in any way the conscious self. The wisdom\index{wisdom} of the heart\index{heart} is not touched but absorbed, and it does not move in a linear fashion to inform, it is born\index{born} and its DNA is coded by the purity, patience\index{patience} and lovingness of your desire. love-sentence-body.tex:2156: The first defense, therefore, is to visualize this negative power and fearlessly to invite it to take up a loving absorption within the very heart\index{heart}, for positive power is power balanced by knowledge\index{knowledge} of the self. The need is only to do these things within the self, disciplining\index{disciplining} the self to a more and more balanced and clear acceptance\index{acceptance} of the universal nature of selfhood, and therefore choosing lucidly and clearly to serve others, to withhold judgment of or control over others, and to practice loving the self, accepting the self and allowing the errors perceived within the self to be self-forgiven. Many are the loving and positively oriented souls who yet are not able to do this. We simply ask entities who wish\index{wish} to live in faith not to be afraid of their fear\index{fear}, not to be ruled by their fear, but to accept this fear, to love\index{love} this fear, as part of the universal self, and to move on, leaping foolishly into the next step in blindness and in faith. May each of you find each step to be one which is offered to the infinite\index{infinite} One as a gift, a testimony of love\index{love}, for if the Creator is love, then the choice of fearlessness is always correct. Take time to work through the balancing of that fear\index{fear}, overcome it never, but take it within the self, love\index{love} it, accept it, and gently, strand by strand, part the curtain that keeps the self from progressing fearlessly. love-sentence-body.tex:2164: (overview] The question today has to do with the concept of nurturing self-love. The service-to-others\index{service-to-others} path through the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} asks the question in this manner, and by this way of asking, points directly to the core of confusion. You are those seeking in the school\index{school} of love\index{love}, therefore this query is central. The commandments were two: to love\index{love} the Creator with all one’s heart\index{heart}, all one’s soul, all one’s mind, and all one’s strength\index{strength}; and to love the other selves within your environments as you love yourself. The second of the commandments was not to love\index{love} yourself as you love others, but to love others as you love yourself! Thusly, this master\index{master} of compassion\index{compassion} suggested the turning of mercy inward upon the self, prior to asking the self to expand the manifestations of mercy outward. Gaze at this center which loves life, which breathes the air\index{air} and has appetite for preservation and procreation. First, may we suggest that the self be visualized as being held in the arms of the infinite\index{infinite} One, lovingly, firmly and comfortably, rocked in eternal\index{eternal} rhythms and loved with infinite love. The entity finds it sparkling at this time, and realizes the effect of those in a group\index{group} which love\index{love} one another, causing the heart\index{heart} energy to dance and shine. It is to be suggested by us that when one sees the heart\index{heart} fully open, one then may do well to suggest to the self the beauty of giving and receiving of love. The reception of love\index{love}, it has been noted this day, is often very difficult. When the orange-ray center is blocked by self-judgment, then the shining love\index{love} of others is blocked from entering the heart. Loving gestures, thoughts and words may batter against the heart\index{heart} closed to itself in vain. Thusly, service to others\index{service to others} directly denotes the allowing of others to love\index{love} the self. This is often the most difficult relationship\index{relationship} lesson of all, for if one is not in love\index{love} with the self, how can one believe\index{believe} or have trust and faith in the illuminating light and love pouring into one’s heart\index{heart} from another. It is an irony of the third and fourth-density\index{fourth-density} illusions that more and more energy is consumed in the desire\index{desire} to love\index{love}, to open the self to more and more complete service to others\index{service to others}, while there remains the grudge against the self. Until one forgives and accepts the self, one’s service will be stunted; one’s heart\index{heart} will be darkened, even in the fullness of the most loving service. It is not loving, however, to answer questions or address seen problems which have not been asked about or advice sought upon by the one to whom the entity is attempting to communicate. Remember that other selves and the self come into the valley of the shadow\index{shadow} of death\index{death} that is third-density\index{third-density} life, not to be comfortable or correct, but to make mistakes and thereby learn\index{learn} the lessons of how not to express love\index{love} and how to express love; how not to accept love and how to accept love; and most of all, how not to conceive oneself that is as unloving, unlovely or unloved, or how to picture that same self loving, lived and love itself. Although, as in the material this instrument has recently read, it is recommended that meditations about the power aspect of the self not be accomplished more than once in a row, rather, if the power aspect needs work, then one works upon the love\index{love} aspect and the wisdom\index{wisdom} aspect in two subsequent meditations before returning to the power aspect. Please\index{please} see and honor the instrument that you are, no matter what outward way you treat yourself, you love\index{love} yourself, you give to yourself. The first gift of the spiritual wayfarer is the time and the energy to move within, to work upon the discipline\index{discipline} of the personality, that more and more of the personality may be imbued with the indigo\index{indigo} ray of joyful accepting love\index{love} of self. The polarity\index{polarity} of service to others\index{service to others} fills this pool, but it is simply rain falling into a conserving receptacle, a still pool within one, until it has been enlivened by the acceptance\index{acceptance} of love\index{love} that is beyond the possible love when judgment remains. Then it becomes a truly potent force\index{force} within the life, as though a fountain or spring came forth from that still pool, and sprayed and dropped like rain into each present moment; so that no key must be turned to start up the engine of self-acceptance which opens the door to unconditional channeling\index{channeling} of infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} through one. Thus, if you now feel that you are accepting yourself over and over and over, the secret may be that the gifts you give yourself do not include the appropriate concern for inner loving work. If the self cannot or is fearful to do this work now, return to the image of being held in the arms of the infinite\index{infinite} One, and rocked and lullabied and loved, for this is your true state at a deep, deep level. How you are loved! How you are loved! Feel that. When you feel how much you are already loved by the infinite\index{infinite} One, how treasured you are, then you can gain courage to go ahead and walk the King’s Highway, and do the work of falling in love\index{love} with the self, even in its illusory rampant imperfection. May you be to each other the beacons that bespeak love\index{love} for and to each other. We send our love\index{love} and light to you through this instrument, and would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, that it may conclude this working. The means of clearing the centers or chakras of energy by the use of the polarization of the mind is that process whereby you take that desire\index{desire} and move through each chakra in turn, utilizing this desire\index{desire} to find those distortions or imperfections of manifestation within each center of energy, and seek for that moment to visualize or imagine the balanced expression of energy that is appropriate for you at that time in that center, assigning to each center those properties that are appropriate for each center, beginning as we said, with the first, or root center, and looking at this center as that which is the love\index{love} of life, the expression of the desire to be, to move, to breathe, to do. Moving from this center to that of the heart\index{heart}, the green\index{green} ray where your love\index{love} of others extends beyond any group\index{group} that you may have association with to all entities simply because they exist. Moving from this center to that of the throat and the blue\index{blue} ray of communication, where the love\index{love} that you feel for all creation is expressed in a means of communication that is freely given, and which speaks in inspirational tones to those about you as a result of your feeling of the love of the green-ray center. By utilizing this desire\index{desire} to serve others in balancing and harmonizing each center of energy, you have cleared this path for the flow of the love\index{love} and light, or the prana of the one Creator to move cleanly through your centers of energy, in order that you may be a smoothly functioning reflector and creator of the love and light of the one Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:2243: We come to you in the love\index{love} and in the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} source and ending of All. However, like deep melodies which surface again and again, those deeper energies excited and born\index{born} from the entrance into the conscious mind, of fated or destined persons or events, cause the experience being overtaken by these deep desires which then move into a position of dominance in the mind and which then color for a period of time the passing experience with the deep tapestries of emotions and desires which you have created for this incarnational experience in order to learn\index{learn} the lessons of love\index{love} which can only be taught by moving through the catalyst of entities or events processing themselves through the day-to-day experience. However, the relationship\index{relationship} is anything but over from the standpoint of learning the lessons of love\index{love}, for which reason both entities within this relationship chose to meet, to exchange desires, and to part, thus only beginning and setting up the conditions under which the lesson may be learned in a way which creates a lasting bias in consciousness which will polarize the consciousness that is infinite\index{infinite} within you towards the unity with the love and light which is the Source and Father\index{father} of all that there is. In the second exchange the teacher\index{teacher} viewing its own mother\index{mother} pointed with name to a beloved friend and in a brief sentence realigned relationship\index{relationship} away from accidents, shall we say, of birth\index{birth} and adjusted this relationship for a loving and compassionate opportunity for both mother and friend, as each then might comfort the other. Let us move back onto the terra firma now, and gaze at the situation of lost love. Now the lover of the past is a memory. That it haunts one is a good indication that there is a deep and destined lesson of love\index{love} to learn. You see, the sorrows of the lost love\index{love} are not a negative quality but rather a praiseworthy, hollowing out and deepening of the capacity to love without expectation of any return. The reason that the lost love\index{love} haunts the everyday experience is that there is still much work to do in praising and seeing the treasure in the learning of how to love so deeply in the first place. Only in the darkness of seemingly negative emotions of loss and limitation does the deep prayer\index{prayer}, the soulful song of love\index{love} take wing and sweep the incarnate being to a point of view where the breadth of love, once felt for one entity, may be turned at world dying and yearning for your deep love and compassion. The more intensive the desire\index{desire} has been to find love\index{love} the more intensive the experience of love, the more the yearning for love, the more it will seem very, very difficult to so center the mind viewpoint that all these acceptances and forgivenesses and reorientations may have their just process. Birth\index{birth} them with your awareness of the beauty of love. You have desired\index{desired} truly, you have loved truly. It may now be separated from the constraint of belonging to one entity and the self and become that potential for love\index{love} and for acceptance\index{acceptance} and compassion\index{compassion} which may be universalized by being aware that this love is an energy unto itself. To offer thanks and praise in any moment is your way of moving quickly, instantaneously to the mind or consciousness of unity wherein you may see that there is no loss, there is no lack, there is no separation, even in the case of a loved one which has died or been permanently separated. This love\index{love} is an entity unto itself, a vortex which may pull forth either a bitterness of a judged loss or a smooth vine\index{vine} of a judged treasure. And also, to accelerate the process whereby one is more observant of that merging process between deep emotions and day-to-day experience, it is well to move into silent communion with the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, listening to the silent voice of love\index{love} unlimited and inexpressible. Destiny does not say, “You shall do this and this,” it says “You shall be put in this situation wherein you may attempt to learn\index{learn} of love\index{love} and to be of service.” We encourage you to move ahead with the learning while being extremely alert for indications from spirit\index{spirit} as to the finer and finer choices\index{choices} which determine the direction of learning and service so that you may find your own unique way of serving and of loving. It is a true pleasure, and we are full of love\index{love} for you and for your devotion. Farewell in the Creator’s love\index{love} and light. love-sentence-body.tex:2254:In this self-acceptance lies the compassion\index{compassion} and love\index{love} which the lesson was intended to teach. However, one small word is enough to change the attitude, whether it be “Love\index{love},” or, as this instrument prays often, “Jesus\index{jesus},” or any other short expression of truth. The fire\index{fire} is the fire of love. This engine which moves the attitude is fueled by love. And this love\index{love} comes into the painful emotional reactions and accepts that painful, twisted, knotted self. Just let yourself be equally pleased when you are having unlovable and unpretty reactions. We are most happy\index{happy} that you do call upon us, for we can give one thing, and that is our unconditional love. And we do so enjoy\index{enjoy} being with those who call upon us not to share information, but just to be able to send the vibrations of love\index{love} and support that are the other part of our service to you. We may speak to you of many things, but the vibratory connection between us is that carrier wave of love\index{love}, and this is never away from you simply because we do not have a voice. Love\index{love} is experienced in love. love-sentence-body.tex:2270:I would like to pass the microphone, as it were, to my brother/sister of Q’uo. This is a journey from head to heart\index{heart}, from fear\index{fear} to love\index{love}, from meekness to an acceptance\index{acceptance} of the eternal\index{eternal} untidiness of catalyst, perception and experience. Yes, precisely, this is the journey from fear\index{fear} to love\index{love}, from brain-oriented choice to heart-centered choice. Then I can do it more skillfully.” love-sentence-body.tex:2288: (overview] Group\index{group} question: The question today has to do with the balance one seeks to achieve between accepting what the universe or the life pattern of catalyst has given one in the way of experiences and people, and then balancing that with using these very same situations, the catalyst of a life experience, and manipulating them in such a way as to attempt at least to achieve the goals which we feel are important, the learning of lessons, the loving and acceptance\index{acceptance} of others and so forth. This decision is critical, for if the seeker\index{seeker} finds a faith and a trust in the overall plan and agenda, metaphysically speaking, for this particular incarnational experience, then much of the obfuscation which shadows the clear path may be taken out of the way, for if the incarnational plan or agenda is accepted\index{accepted} as one which yields lessons in love\index{love} and opportunities for service, then the outer picture from day to day has less ability to shake the basic steadfastness of attitude and temperament. It is “God\index{god}, grant me the ability to see the difference between that which I can change and that which I need to accept.” Often, when all three portions of the decision-making process have been accomplished, it shall be very clear that one alternative will tend\index{tend} more towards the learning by the self of love\index{love} and the opportunity to be of service to others\index{service to others} in a way which is spiritual or metaphysical. The lessons of love\index{love} which are yours to be exposed to shall be yours upon either path. When decisions are made they need to be considered upon the merits of the situation for the self and for maximizing the self’s opportunity to learn\index{learn} love\index{love} and to offer love in service to others. We thank\index{thank} you also, my brother, and can express only encouragement and our love\index{love} as you seek to become more clear and more filled with the true freedom which is wholehearted service to the infinite\index{infinite} One. We are with you in silent love\index{love} and support when you ask, and we feel very blessed that you do ask. love-sentence-body.tex:2329:“Come, Holy Spirit\index{holy spirit}, fill the heart\index{heart} of your faithful and kindle in her the fire\index{fire} of your love. And that as you bear witness in a life of faith to this true nature that continually transforms perfectly all that there is, you may see the face of creation blossom and expand infinitely in love\index{love} reflected in love. So, as you bring down into the life of faith the energy, the spirit\index{spirit} of love\index{love} which strengthens the heart\index{heart} that it may move further downward into each darkened place within, so the reflection upward begins and the heart is informed by the energies originally locked in lower centers; and the heart frees this energy that it may make its return to the alpha and the omega of all that there is. So, all things from beginning to ending of creation are implicit in this present moment, and the cycle or circle\index{circle} which is process and learning and growth reflects in your faithful hearts the eternal\index{eternal} present moment in which love\index{love} is the whole nature of all unified consciousness. May you remain and abide in patient and persistent blindness, accepting and blessing each darkness, each fear\index{fear}, each sorrow\index{sorrow}, each suffering unto death\index{death}, that the work of creation may express through you the life of the self that is love\index{love}, in this moment and ever. May you through this process day by day so seat yourself in loving acceptance\index{acceptance} and faith that all is well, that Love\index{love} itself may flow through you as light through the panes of the lantern, so that those about you may see this light and turn to this light within themselves. My friends, love\index{love} one another and for the first time, rest. This is not fundamentally different from that which we have offered concerning the healing\index{healing} of the incarnation of the self day by day, but may be seen to be an extension which, in those who feel the call and gift to heal, may be used and through experience refined as a way of loving. As this series of workings draws to a close, we stretch out our love\index{love} as arms of blessing and thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving} to each who has moved many everyday hindrances to one side in order to be together for this working. Our love\index{love} and blessings to each, and our praise and thanks to the One Who is all that there is that we experienced this beauty together. May we all go forth to serve and to love\index{love}, strengthened by this sharing. The more awareness you can bring to this being that you are as a whole—as this angel\index{angel} in its earthsuit\index{earthsuit} of divinity and humanness—with each moment, the more lovingly you can bring healing\index{healing} to where healing is needed. It is not the seeker\index{seeker}’s place to choose which will be, only to sit with as much love\index{love} as it can give at that bare table and trust that this is the experience that is given and it will suffice. When you see negative distortion in illness of the physical body or the loss of a loved one, or some other great grief\index{grief} or pain\index{pain}, remember: “This is part of the spiral to the light. Can I embrace even this distortion and offer love\index{love} to it. It can be a catalyst for remembering to offer love\index{love}.” love-sentence-body.tex:2344: We are again with this instrument in love\index{love} and in light. Often it puzzles those who experience these seasons of desert\index{desert} within, for the outer planes are halcyon and lovely, yet within all is certainly an arid waste. The hope\index{hope} of entities who attempt to accelerate the rate of their evolution in spirit\index{spirit} is to so live that the maximum amount of pressure is exerted upon the orb of self so that more and more and more of love\index{love} may flow into or within the sphere\index{sphere} or field of that which is your unique spiritual entity. Because we speak to those upon the path of service to others\index{service to others}, however, we assure each that it is not the point to attempt to look graceful or to seem centered, rather, dealing with times of feeling off-center or unbalanced the point is to make friends with this situation and involve the self in accepting and assimilating the growth, not with an eye\index{eye} to appearances but solely with the goal of so accepting and loving this discomfort of self that the stage is set for the process continuing. Indeed, to the spiritual seeker\index{seeker} the straight and level road is a lovely thing but if it is endlessly peaceful and there is no perceived challenge the seeker turns and questions its path: is it learning enough. The seemingly smooth and the seemingly rough both alike are manifestation of perfect love. No matter where your curiosity and your sense of adventure move you in spiritual seeking you are the same distance from love\index{love} that is no distance. All you experience is love\index{love}, all with which you experience is love; you are love perceiving love. Use this illusion\index{illusion}, use this separation and allow the verb between to be love\index{love}, allow (yourself] to enter into loving relationship\index{relationship} with good times and with bad, with positive and with negative. The more you can embrace your condition the more you shall radiate that love\index{love} which is of the essence of you, of the situation, and of any and all agencies whatsoever. To be able to bear witness in good and in bad weather, to the sun which forever shines, to the warmth of love\index{love} which never grows cold\index{cold}, this is to be a sun to those who may share your circumstances, this is to radiate through your physical, mental and emotional beings that spiritual truth that you are love and you are surrounded by love. We are with you in that search and we share love\index{love} with you in each and every moment. Thus, it is important at this time to simply open the self in love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of all those difficulties you face, whether they are generated from without your being or from within your being, for in truth all that you perceive you personalize in a fashion which blends perceiver and perceived. Thus it is not surprising that one’s meditations would also be affected by this confusing and chaotic experience, however, be assured that as you place yourself in a position to meditate and to open yourself to the experiences of love\index{love} about you, that no matter what your perception of your experience of meditation\index{meditation} might be there is work accomplished there, not just in the intention to meditate nor in the actual practice, whether perceived as well or poorly accomplished, but in those deeper portions of yourself to which contact is made during meditation, in order that these portions of your deeper self might be able to have their influence upon your perceptions in even the subtlest manner is the opportunity that is most helpful to the seeker\index{seeker} of truth. As you experience the calmer waters in your daily activities you may also assume that there are inner preparations being made for future change as current catalyst is accreted, and as it is well or not so well processed there is the building of momentum so that at what you would call a future time there can be another shifting of perception that will allow you a clearer view of your path to love. We would suggest to each of you that this may or may not be true, however, it is unimportant, for what is important is that you engage your experience with a whole heart\index{heart} and attempt to make some sense of all that occurs, knowing that all that occurs and all that exists exists within the greatest mystery one can imagine, and that there is at the heart of this mystery infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} and support for all children\index{children} of the one Creator that seek to return to their place of beginning, never knowing for sure until they have returned that they have never left. love-sentence-body.tex:2356: We are thankful that you have called us to this session of working this bright and lovely morning. Yes, my sister in some the moving of the integrated self with feelings of wholeness turning always all of the self over and over again is the most efficacious way to most accurately record and memorialize in fitting tribute of emotion and manifestation the quanta of light and love\index{love} that the entity moves through in the incarnational experience. The second time I attempted this chelation I removed myself from this attempt to find detail or find symptoms of what was occurring and I placed myself in a acceptance\index{acceptance} of what was occurring, utilizing love\index{love} as more of the energies that were flowing through me and more of the essence of myself slipping through me and what I experienced was less of the censuring but still an overall feeling that the healing\index{healing} was somewhat complete. love-sentence-body.tex:2365: My friends, this opportunity which has been made available at a certain point in many lives is indeed a great step, one which with love\index{love}, with the sharing of the heart\index{heart} and mind and the spirit\index{spirit} will perhaps cause some of the doubts to be allayed. As the harvest becomes closer, my friends, these lessons of love\index{love} and of sharing yourselves, the learning, the experience of becoming one with those that you perceived as being troublesome to your spirit\index{spirit}, are great lessons and are ones to be thankful for. We ask that you look into the silence, for there is a center and a hope\index{hope}, a joy\index{joy} and a love\index{love} in the midst of that silence that can create a new kingdom for you, and for your family. We ask that you begin always by attempting to gain a true reflection of yourself, for it is only when the carnival-goer is lifted from the hall of mirrors that the mirrors become part of a manageable, reasonable and loving consciousness. Very well then, my friends, begin that process by utterly forgiving yourself, by loving yourself most dearly, and by lifting yourself through meditation\index{meditation} to the light. What healing\index{healing} there is in that love. As you know, the cycle which is now ending upon this planet is very close at hand, and its transformation has not been what you might call smooth, for many upon this planet have had difficulty in realizing the love\index{love} that exists in each moment, each situation and each entity. And as the planet begins its transit into that density of love\index{love}, there is the momentary mismatch of vibratory frequencies. This mismatch becomes apparent to those who are sensitive in many ways, but we can assure each that the mismatch or stress suffered is but momentary, and in its way also offers a greater opportunity for each entity upon the planet and for the planet itself to find that love\index{love} in the moment which has not been found previously. For love\index{love} is at the heart\index{heart} of all creation, and no moment is without its own infinite\index{infinite} share of that love. Therefore, when such distressing feelings are felt, rejoice\index{rejoice} that the planet is giving birth\index{birth} to itself and each entity upon it, and that the birth is attended by love. There are many who seek love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, and do not know they are love, they are loved. And may we humbly suggest to each that the greatest healing\index{healing} is that love\index{love} which is at the heart\index{heart} of your being and may be shared at each moment of your existence with each entity you meet. There is no greater magic nor healing\index{healing} than the love\index{love}, the forgiveness and the compassion\index{compassion} for those who walk upon the path of evolution with you. For such is the way of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator that all cycles shall be completed, all the pieces of the creation shall be reassembled into one, and all who seek love\index{love} shall find it all about them. love-sentence-body.tex:2440:Good morning and my love\index{love} to you all. There are those beings who are negatively polarized in service to self\index{service to self} and act in love\index{love} for that self. The selfishness of that motivation, let us say the self-centeredness of that motivation, may cause immense suffering for others, yet one must still acknowledge that this being is motivated by some form of love\index{love}, however distorted that love may be. Indeed, one must begin to respect\index{respect} the needs of the self while distinguishing which needs grow out of love\index{love} and healthy respect, and which grow out of fear. It is only in this moment that one can live with love\index{love} and wisdom. You find that there is a, what I call, “horizontal practice of relative reality,” living one’s life skillfully and lovingly, moment by moment, but that there is an illusory self who is doing that skillful, loving living. As our beloved brother Aaron\index{aaron} has so wisely pointed out, you are one of the other selves you serve. This is because, as the teacher\index{teacher} known as Jesus\index{jesus} has said, all the law\index{law} is to love\index{love} the Creator with all one’s strength\index{strength}, heart\index{heart}, mind and soul and to love your neighbors as yourself.2 If you do not love yourself, how can you truly love your neighbor. Yes, each of you is all too aware of the missed steps, the erroneous conclusions, the impulses which do not do Love\index{love} justice. Is this a reason not to be in love\index{love} with your self. Can your self, in all its distortions, depart one iota from the truth of Love. Yet the heart\index{heart} that loves knows that beneath, above and around all confusion\index{confusion}, all missed steps, all seeming imperfection, lies the One—unblemished, unbroken, beautiful\index{beautiful} and perfect. Your nature is love. The walking of the spiritual path is an opening of the universal Self within, to embrace more and more without distortion the heart\index{heart} of love\index{love} in each entity and each moment. Your challenge is always to discern where the love\index{love} is in this moment and to move—whether by attitude, thought or action—to support, encourage and enable that love. Giving that attempt your best effort shall occupy you well through this illusion\index{illusion} which we term third density\index{third density} and through several densities to come, for we witness to our continuing pilgrimage through longer and more subtle illusions wherein the choice we made in third density is refined, first by attention to love\index{love}, then by attention to wisdom\index{wisdom}, then by attention to the merging of love and wisdom. You choose to live your love. And in releasing that desire\index{desire} and embracing only your heart\index{heart}’s desire\index{desire} to love\index{love}, you pluck faith from that dash through the middle air. And we must say that much as we enjoy\index{enjoy} our continuing journeys, in looking at each of you and being with each and seeing the courage and commitment of each to seeking the truth, our hearts fondly cherish the memory of that striving, suffering and believing in Love\index{love} against all the evidence. Q’uo spoke of the line of love\index{love} and wisdom\index{wisdom}, which is precisely that horizontal and vertical line that I have mentioned, and that eventually you must come to combine the two, living at the intersection of that horizontal and vertical line, the center of the cross, the Christ\index{christ} Consciousness or Buddha\index{buddha} Consciousness or Cosmic Awareness that is God. One can learn\index{learn} to work very skillfully and lovingly with these gifts so that one is no longer reactive to emotions, no longer reactive to physical sensation. That being begins to live its life with great love\index{love}, yet it may also experience deep pain\index{pain} if there is still identification with that which arises. But without the love\index{love} or compassion\index{compassion} that grows out of acceptance\index{acceptance} of the human experience, such wisdom\index{wisdom} becomes sterile. I want to digress here a moment to speak about the words love\index{love} and compassion. When we use the term love\index{love}, we are not speaking of a maudlin kind of love with attachment, not a manipulative love or a grasping love, but pure love that opens itself to all that is. Love\index{love} is a hard term to define. I am somehow more comfortable with the term compassion\index{compassion}, which is an outgrowth of that openhearted love\index{love}, but is more easily recognized, less easily distorted than is the term love. We can use them interchangeably as long as we understand\index{understand} what we mean by each: love\index{love} and compassion. Indeed, you all are doing that constantly in your lives as you attempt to live with more love\index{love} and skill, as you attempt to live with non-harm to all else and as you process the emotions, thoughts and sensations that move through you and work on non-reactivity. deeper wisdom\index{wisdom} and compassion\index{compassion}, and unconditional love. The animal\index{animal} knows its master\index{master} and wants to love\index{love} it a little bit, but it is not aware of itself yet. Fourth density: the awareness of love. Some say, “Okay, I’m going to take all this in and I’m going to do it.” And then, instead of becoming a work of love\index{love} and kindness\index{kindness} and gentleness to ourselves, it becomes just another kind of fear: “I’m going to get rid of that and I’m going to be this.” But that’s not honest. love-sentence-body.tex:2452:There are two different issues here. One is, “What is love\index{love} and what is fear\index{fear}?” And having determined what is love, how do we choose love. You cannot “should” yourself, force\index{force} yourself, into taking the path of love\index{love} when fear\index{fear} feels overwhelming. But to act in care for the self may also be a movement of love. Thus the question is not what you do so much as, “What is the primary force\index{force} behind those acts or words?” When you focus on the already present loving motivations, they will be reflected in the acts. If we are going to choose love\index{love}, we must be consistent. Love\index{love} is natural to you and becomes apparent when there is not fear. You do not need to create love\index{love} in yourselves. We do not look, then, at these two paths, fear\index{fear} and love\index{love}, and say, “I will choose love,” even though we quake with fear. Rather, we say, “What is this fear\index{fear}?” and attend to the fear lovingly so it dissolves, and then love\index{love} is natural and open. I am not suggesting that it will not still take courage and determination, commitment and energy to choose love\index{love}, but there is no force\index{force} involved, just a loving aspiration. You must, then, begin to see who you really are, that fear\index{fear} is an illusion\index{illusion}, that you are Love\index{love} by your very nature. Let me begin by saying that you have a wide gamut of emotions, but they can basically be broken down into fear\index{fear} and love. Grief\index{grief} is a mixture of love\index{love} and fear—a fear\index{fear} that your needs will not be met, that you will be hurt through this loss—and also a sense of deep sorrow\index{sorrow} which grows out of love for that which has been lost. Part of grief\index{grief} is not fear\index{fear}, but an expression of the depth of your love. So, we want to be careful not to pigeon-hole too rigidly here, not to simply say, “This is love\index{love}; this is fear\index{fear}.” There is always a blending of the two. This is also some blending of fear\index{fear} and love. We despair\index{despair} that we can never fully merge with that light and love\index{love} toward which we so deeply yearn. pop! goes the balloon, so that she is able to come back again to the clear perception that transcends worthiness and unworthiness, and then to ask, “What emotions have given rise to this illusion\index{illusion}?” and to tend\index{tend} lovingly to those emotions. The baby\index{baby} will feel the withholding of love\index{love} at that time. It needs to form a bond of love\index{love} with that adult\index{adult} which parents it, singular or plural. Back to the child: It needs to be loved. So, it quickly picks up the messages, “What can I do to be loved. If I play your game, you’ll love\index{love} me?” That game varies from family to family. It learns that its own rage runs contrary to its overriding need to be loved. It tells itself, “I deserved this abuse” because the alternative is unthinkable: “I did not deserve this abuse; therefore, this adult\index{adult} is wrong and I must contradict this adult, putting myself out of the reach of its acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}.” The child simply lacks the strength\index{strength} to do that. Or perhaps you were lovingly raised by a non-judgmental parent, but there was still rage and shame\index{shame} about that rage. Each cell within your physical vehicle vibrates with the love\index{love} and light of the infinite\index{infinite} One, and its instinctual desires are for all energies to harmonize. It is self-loving, indeed, to create these moments of touching into that bottomless well of silent listening into which is poured light without measure and from which you may drink until you have no thirst. This is the second life form that you now seek to nurture\index{nurture} and which now seeks to nurture you, for even from the cradle this Christ\index{christ} child reaches out and loves you, for the Creator loves first. Your love\index{love} of any entity, including the Creator, is a reflection—love reflected in love. How this baby\index{baby} consciousness loves to love. This is the being which marries, even melds with this second-density\index{second-density} creature to produce that unique being—the human—which is both of the earth\index{earth}, born\index{born} and dying, and of the universe, loved and loving forever. And as you walk the paths of your days, you may move up and down the scales of perception with increasing ease as you begin to find the pure freedom of that logic which transcends distinction and partakes more and more of the values of love. love-sentence-body.tex:2466: It is a privilege and a blessing to speak with this group\index{group} of beloved entities at this time/space. You do have every reason to gather at a time and place to express love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion}, worship\index{worship} or whatever words you personally would choose to show forth your love of the mystery that is Deity and to anchor the outworking of this love within your environment. When the purpose for gathering is the desire\index{desire} to express love\index{love} and the desire\index{desire} to serve that occasion becomes a very big party in ways you cannot see. We see you as love\index{love}’s witnesses within an illusion\index{illusion} so thick that you do not feel each other’s thoughts. For you to honor and love\index{love} the infinite\index{infinite}, original Logos and to so order your lives as to attempt to show forth your love and the Creator’s love of you in all that you do is greatly inspirational to us for we know you are going on faith. It is our opinion that you in third density\index{third density} making the great choices\index{choices} between giving and receiving, between loving and risking, and being loved and not risking, we find your courage heartening and your hopes and desires and intentions beautiful\index{beautiful} and as each choice is made and that which blooms within unfolds yet one more petal we can only give thanks and rejoice. The blessing of love\index{love} is love and you are truer than you know or can ever know within your experience to the love which loved you first. It is true that you have the quality of acceptance\index{acceptance} and freely given love\index{love} that provides others with a safe haven and we are aware that there are many upon your plane who serve in this capacity. love-sentence-body.tex:2508: The basic vibration of a self, or entity, is the vibration which is identical to the vibration of love. In other terms, for we are aware that this query was asked for various reasons, the identity or vibration of love\index{love} at the moment of creation was given all of the densities and sub-densities, those coming into being in an inevitable pattern representing the settled view of the infinite\index{infinite} intelligence which regarded the creation prior to your own. We encourage each to be that loving vibration first, and words and actions second. However, each entity must move in that fashion which brings it into closest harmony with the concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, for it is not clearly known within your illusion\index{illusion} where this point of truth resides, though each sees it with what seems to be a clear eye. It is instead that which accepts the Creator in all faces and then does what it will in the face of love\index{love} and with the motivation of love. You say simply act in love\index{love}, and I think it is wonderful advice. It’s very hard for me to see where that love\index{love} takes me. Is speaking the truth a loving thing to do. Is not defending yourself still a loving thing to do if people would be helped if they heard your side. Because of this confusion\index{confusion} and because of the importance of your decision in your own evolutionary journey, we must not infringe upon this choice and can only suggest that when you have prayed or meditated yourself to a point of loving acceptance\index{acceptance}, then the choice will become more apparent. love-sentence-body.tex:2521: We are wondering what kind of transformation has to take place within the self for a person to move from where the little oddities in their partner’s behavior no longer bother one, and in fact become a lovable part of the other person’s image, and how does one move from the rejection of another to the acceptance\index{acceptance} of another and how does this happen within the self. It is as important to be able to receive love\index{love} and kindnesses it is to offer love and charity. We speak always about love. We ask you to open to the love\index{love} of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator; we ask you to become aware of the presence of this love as the center of the life; we ask you that you work towards creating within the self a channel for that infinite love so that this highest truth may be attested to by the solid witness of your being. It is expected and appreciated that the nature of learning is the attempt and often the failure to manifest the infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} of the infinite Creator. Living as a witness to an infinite\index{infinite} Love\index{love} is the kind of test that occurs when one is being observed but not stimulated by a teacher. You did not come into this incarnation to get everything right but to be a witness to love\index{love} and light. The phrase, “casting one’s bread upon the waters” comes from your holy work, the Bible\index{bible}, and that is what each self is intended to do, to cast the love\index{love} and light and being a witness unto the ever moving, ever disappearing waters of life. Indeed, one may rejoice\index{rejoice} and offer thanks when one is simply giving away love\index{love} and light, for within this image in your Bible\index{bible} it is pointed out that if one achieves a true release of gifts, a lack of holding them in memory, then does the Law\index{law} of Plenty move into action and the self becomes conscious of receiving one hundred and one thousand times the blessing back upon those moving waters of life. This vibration, this basic signature is that which you are attempting to affect by the way you live your life and the lessons—we correct this instrument—the way you live your life and the way you concern yourself and deal with the lessons of love\index{love} you encounter along the King’s Highway, as this instrument would put it. By choosing again and again to serve others, by choosing to seek the Creator in the self, in others, in creation, and in the center of the being, you attempt to affect the narrowing of the gap between your vibratory signature and the basic pure vibration which created all things, that infinite\index{infinite} Creator’s Thought or Logos of Love. This vibration may be seen to be that which is of love\index{love} and of fear\index{fear}, these are the two basic dynamics within the vibratory levels. To be simplistic we would say that there is always some ratio of fear\index{fear} to love\index{love}, however the greater the love, the greater the life, the greater the fear, the greater the death\index{death}, for that which is alive, creative and moving is of love, and that which is judging and defending and inwardly focusing beyond a certain point is of death. When one attempts to learn\index{learn} tolerance of another one is attempting to be able to accept another in complete love\index{love} and lack of judgment. It is within this intuitively perceived sea of being that you swim, shall we say, or sail, either towards the unity of love\index{love} which is the Creator or towards that archipelago of perceived self and other selves which is the seascape of the service-to-self\index{service-to-self} entity who perceives the self apart from all by choice, and controlling all for the best good. When this crop of love\index{love} and positive desire\index{desire} is sown with a glad and merry heart\index{heart} it then becomes more and more possible to begin to see through the veil, to perceive for the first time the extent to which others sow\index{sow} for you to reap. How rich each is in the harvest given by others to the self, and how much richer shall the self be as it learns more and more to sow\index{sow} those seeds of love\index{love} and virtue with a careless and generous hand, not waiting for the self to applaud but moving on, practicing the presence of love. How we love\index{love} you! How beautiful\index{beautiful} you are to us! We see you wanting so much to cherish each other. Never doubt\index{doubt} that behind the veil of suffering and limitation lies a land\index{land} where love\index{love} is visible. But hold fast to that faith and let it be the rock\index{rock} upon which you stand, with arms open to receive love\index{love}... love-sentence-body.tex:2538: Eventually one profits by seeing the Creator in all and radiating love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} in that reality. Why did a loving Creator allow the constructs that learn\index{learn} more effectively with pain\index{pain} rather than with joy. The Creator—that creative principle of Love\index{love} in which all reside—rests within the infinite\index{infinite} intelligence of unpotentiated love. However, each individualized spark of this love\index{love} experiences time, space, and within your density, choices\index{choices}, whereas the truth rests always in peace. It is not that sorrow\index{sorrow}, loss and limitation are the only (effective] means of learning the lessons of love\index{love} and polarizing towards the infinite\index{infinite} Creator’s vibration, but, rather, that few indeed are the entities which are willing, in the absence of pain\index{pain}, to do the intensive work which is needed to attain an acceleration of the polarization process using joy\index{joy} as catalyst. There is a simple answer; that being that the path of joy\index{joy} is the path of the adept and to the adept all things are loss, except the infinite\index{infinite} Creator and serving that love\index{love} which is the Creator. love-sentence-body.tex:2559:As our esteemed and beloved brother Aaron\index{aaron} and we speak concerning various aspects of the experience of discomfort and alienation, isolation and hunger, yet always keep within the heart our reassurance that you truly are at home within. The road to infinity\index{infinity}, to greater reality, to opened awareness of love—these are the gifts within each being. And from that hearth of home and love\index{love} and wisdom\index{wisdom} you may wake refreshed to move into the dance of divine\index{divine} play which you experience as life. My love\index{love} to each of you. Wanderer\index{wanderer} or non-wanderer, once you discover your true nature is divine\index{divine} and never separate from all that is, then you are ready to live on any plane with love\index{love} and wisdom\index{wisdom}, with compassion. Thank\index{thank} you for your loving presence and attention. Rejoice\index{rejoice}, then, in that golden net which grows daily upon your planet’s surface as those seeking to lighten the consciousness of the planet called Earth\index{earth} reach out to new entities, forming networks of networks which, in turn, may reach out to find more and more threads of this wonderful net to weave together until all of the sphere\index{sphere} upon which you enjoy\index{enjoy} life is wrapped and sheathed in an embrace of love\index{love} and acceptance. Its foundation—the foundation of the earth\index{earth}, the soil itself, this first-density\index{first-density} energy—is permeated with love. You are still going to need to work with fear\index{fear}; rather, there will be a spaciousness around fear, a sense of compassion\index{compassion} that allows fear to be touched with loving-kindness\index{loving-kindness} rather than judgment which would seek to shut it out. Those of you who are come to Earth\index{earth} with some technical skill to share—and healing\index{healing} skills, deep wisdom\index{wisdom}, deep loving-kindness—that is what you may share on one level. On a deeper level, you bring this energy which helps all beings to lower their boundaries, to come to the direct experience of God\index{god} within each, animate or inanimate, and to live in loving reverence of the God in all that is. The force\index{force} that will be generated on an earth\index{earth} that has moved to this degree of highly positively polarized energy will exert tremendous influence throughout the entire universe—a source of immense energy, of love. While you ask yourself, then, “How can I be a better\index{better} healer\index{healer} or teacher\index{teacher}, a better mechanic, a better friend?” do not neglect to ask yourself, “How does the learning of these skills help me learn\index{learn} more fully to love. If I keep myself separate in any way from the incarnation, in what ways is that a disservice to this deepest aspiration to bring love\index{love} and light where there has previously been fear\index{fear} and darkness?” When you ask the right questions, my friends, you will find the answers appear in your heart\index{heart} and the strength\index{strength} to act upon those answers, the clarity of your path. We repeat and repeat it because it is our humble\index{humble} understanding that this is all that there truly is: Love\index{love}, the one great original Thought or Logos that created all and creates infinitely; and light—love made visible—which has builded all that is manifest in all densities of the infinite\index{infinite} creation. In this love\index{love} and in this light we open the communication for queries. Within this moment of incarnation breath is all, so breathe in life and breathe out life deeply, gratefully, lovingly; and the devil take the hindmost. love-sentence-body.tex:2580: It is difficult, indeed, to accept the whole self, to love\index{love} and nurture\index{nurture} that very self none other, none better\index{better}, or wiser, or sweeter, but that self at that moment. However, within the self, there is much work to do to humble\index{humble} that self that does not want to have a dark side to the point that in all humility\index{humility} the self may say, “Dear, dear self, I do accept you and I want to nurture\index{nurture} you and love\index{love} you and comfort you.” This acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self is absolutely fundamental to work in consciousness and you shall be working on this one always, for the truth recedes infinitely directly in front of the gaze of the seeker. The result of this meditation\index{meditation}, or prayer\index{prayer}, or contemplation, may manifest in many ways: healing\index{healing}, loving, a channeling\index{channeling} such as this instrument. To this end, to this choice, to love\index{love} and serve were each born. We know, my brothers and sisters, that this is not an easy task, for the illusion\index{illusion} in which you move has been so constructed to obscure the unity and love\index{love} which binds all things and which is an easy reminder for those such as ourselves. love-sentence-body.tex:2695:The portion of the question left unanswered, perhaps deliberately, was, “What is its relationship\index{relationship} emotionally to the human emotion that we call love\index{love}?” although I understand\index{understand} that the creative principle, love, is not what we mean by the kind of love that people have in their eyes on their fiftieth anniversary—that’s the emotion that I’m talking about. I am Q’uo, and we see here a paradox, my sister, for in one way of looking upon infatuation, it is a pure form of love\index{love}, for it accepts totally another without condition. Thus, in this sense, the period of infatuation is a pure form of love\index{love}, pure, however, in the sense that it has not been tested. When the two who have become infatuated continue the relationship\index{relationship} and begin the processing of the catalyst which is inevitable within any life pattern, the opportunities then arise for the love\index{love} to gain in strength\index{strength} and depth and richness and purity, for there will be many, many times in the processing of catalyst that one or the other or both entities will feel less than acceptance\index{acceptance} for the other and will need to find within the self the ability to accept that which was previously not acceptable; to forgive that within self and other self that which was unforgivable; to have compassion\index{compassion} for that which held little interest\index{interest} or perhaps even dislike. Thus, the lessons of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} make themselves known within the relationship\index{relationship} born\index{born} of infatuation and with the faith that the relationship will endure and that meaning may be found for both within it and the will to persevere in finding that meaning and growth. Thus does each entity grow in acceptance\index{acceptance} and in love\index{love}, and thus does the relationship\index{relationship} do likewise, and thus is love strengthened by testing through catalyst that each brings to the relationship. Thus, the love\index{love} which results is a love which has greater strength\index{strength} and depth and variety of experience, shall we say. You’ve basically covered this, so please\index{please} answer briefly, but you seemingly place more importance upon the broader definition of love\index{love} which is compassion\index{compassion}, as I understand\index{understand} that as acceptance\index{acceptance} of people and situations and self as they are, allowing them room to grow in their own way. So for an entity who is attempting to develop love\index{love} as we know it, probably the most expeditious way for them to do this would be for them to work on acceptance\index{acceptance} of others and themselves, and this is—I know this is something that I believe\index{believe} I know, but a simple yes or no would suffice. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress\index{progress} by finding the joy\index{joy}, the love\index{love} and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship\index{relationship}, then the relationship has served as the means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance\index{acceptance}, the love\index{love} and the compassion\index{compassion} for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution. (Lovely vocal healing\index{healing} melody channeled by Carla from Nona.) love-sentence-body.tex:2820: The journey across perilous waters is an illusion\index{illusion} necessary because all within third density\index{third density} dwell within a heavy illusion and the way to grasp the nature of that illusion and to use it is also illusion, for is not all the shadow\index{shadow} of one great original Truth: Love—that which is ever unmanifest, invisible, ungraspable, unprovable. How can seekers learn\index{learn} to bear the intensity and fullness of the light that illumines fourth-density\index{fourth-density} illusion\index{illusion}, for you see all within our grasp is illusion, yet each harvest delivers the seeker\index{seeker} into an illusion that is fuller of light, that light which is the first manifestation of love. Each entity is loved by the Creator. Every iota of flesh, every thought, every emotion is loved, accepted\index{accepted} and forgiven by Love\index{love} Itself. Consciousness is, in truth, consciousness of love\index{love}, for love and the distortions of love is all that there is. This was a trip you planned for, setting up for yourself relationships that would help to focus your own heart\index{heart} and mind upon those lessons of love\index{love} you yourself deemed to be the most telling and critical for you at this point. And so the basic vibration of each is love\index{love} itself, distorted, contracted, controlled, shall we say, by the various ways which, by free will, the entity has chosen to limit or shape consciousness. Now, the third density\index{third density} lessons are lessons in love\index{love}, lessons in connecting with other entities in loving ways. Gaze into that interest\index{interest} and you will find that the human heart\index{heart} has suffered there too, and in this suffering all are one, just as all are one in the perfect joy\index{joy} and peace\index{peace} of love. And so each seeker\index{seeker} dances amid distortions, choosing whenever possible to find the love\index{love} that is there. It is simple in that simply by being who you are you are expressing love\index{love}, for that is all that (can] be expressed. The question is always, “How shall I give love\index{love}?” And we say to you that if you attempt to give love of yourself with your own energies you shall quickly run out of love, for it is in short supply within your illusion. However, it is not necessary for any to give love\index{love} from the self. It is only necessary that the one who seeks to serve move the self out of the way of that love\index{love} which comes in infinite\index{infinite} supply from the one Creator. That love\index{love} can be poured through the instrument that is open and empty, and the world shall feel that light and shall not know whence it comes. Yet the one who is able to be a witness of light, the one who is able, if you will, to be a channel of love\index{love}, that effort and that desire\index{desire} to serve has reached its greatest apex. If one wishes then to accelerate the speed or rate at which one evolves spiritually then one simply attempts to spend time and attention on love\index{love} in daily meditation\index{meditation}, listening to the silence within. And when one wishes to serve that entity then one asks the self, “How can I express love\index{love} in serving this entity?” There are many times when the only way to express love is to be silent, and in that situation that is the most loving thing to do. This willingness to take time to listen to another is in itself a service and we encourage each to open those inward ears that hear what that consciousness is saying upon the level of depth at which the self and the other are most truly expressing, for some request those things which seem fair but which, within the self, are found to be wanting and in those situations one serves best by turning to prayer\index{prayer} to find acceptance\index{acceptance} and love. Each so beloved. Breathe out and feel that love\index{love} pour through. We would recommend that all who feel concern and love\index{love} for the one known as P send this love upon the wings of thought which binds all things together as one being to this entity that she might be inspired by this support. Within this sacred\index{sacred} room there is protection, there is love\index{love}, there is light, there is unity, and there is direction through the maze of choices\index{choices} that this illusion\index{illusion} offers that both confuses and illuminates, that opens doors and shuts doors. We cannot speak more specifically but can send our love\index{love} to this entity as well, and this we do. To forgive is, shall we say, to give love\index{love} for whatever has been given to you. T love-sentence-body.tex:2825: As light increases so does remembrance of love\index{love} increase. That essence is, in all cases, the perfect vibration of love\index{love} which is the great original Thought distorted in a way chosen by the individual into patterns which are unique to that one individual so that each entity is congruent with each other entity and at the same time, and antithetically, each individual is entirely separate and different from any other, for truly, as with the snowflakes, there are no two entities just alike. It is often a roundabout and complex path, but all variations of your path lead you to the infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} of the one infinite Creator. When we do this blending of vibrations we tend\index{tend} to work from the violet\index{violet} ray or crown chakra down to the heart\index{heart} chakra and work with the reservoir of accumulated love\index{love} that is the essence of your being by blending our love vibrations with yours and aiding the opening of the meditative state or the reduction of the conscious state. Whatever essence or kernel of love\index{love} you may feel and connections you may make in your own understanding is a fruit\index{fruit}, shall we say, that may be of service to others\index{service to others} as you put it to work in your own life pattern. This is the very stuff of your density, my brother, for whether the interactions are long or short, intense or not, there is always the opportunity to give love\index{love} for whatever is received from another, each instance offering a certain degree of difficulty, yours being more challenging than most for you at this time. Yet we can assure each entity that each personality and opportunity to interact with them is given in a way that is possible to achieve, to give love\index{love} rather than conflict. When one is wishing to give love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} in place of any conflict offered to the self, one is placing oneself in a vulnerable position, for there is not the attempt made to protect. However, we are somewhat more accomplished at feeling the opportunities and answering in a manner which is appropriate, for it is always possible for us to simply send the vibrations of love\index{love}, light and healing\index{healing} to those who are in pain\index{pain} and who call for such healing with their anguish. To wish\index{wish} to assist is to lighten the vibrations of this planet by the simple desire\index{desire} to serve another in love\index{love} rather than to bring difficulty and grief\index{grief} to another through machinations of the mind and the random\index{random} thoughts that accompany such random desire. love-sentence-body.tex:2906: Going a little deeper, we find the roles that each has played: student, teacher\index{teacher}, brother or sister, mate, friend, lover of this or that hobby or interest\index{interest}, the froth upon the waves of being. And as naturally as waves beat upon the shore the truth comes—love, love. That is your truth, your deepest truth of being is that you are a creature of love\index{love} called into being by love, chosen by love to manifest that the Creator Itself may experience the illusion\index{illusion} of a dream. And that which calls light into being is the love\index{love} that you are. All that there is is love. You are love. And because you are a spark of manifested love\index{love} you have the opportunity to become one who deals lovingly. Each of you hungers and thirsts for the truth of your being, and yet the end of all your journeys of seeking shall be your own heart\index{heart}, and you will learn\index{learn} to warm\index{warm} yourself at the fire\index{fire} of creative love\index{love} which dwells within you. A tremendous hearth, a blazing fire\index{fire} of being rests in that holy place within where love\index{love} resides. Continue, my friends, for one never knows when that moment will come that will offer the turning point of the incarnation, the opening of new vistas, the filling of a heart\index{heart} that felt empty, and the movement of a point of view to a wider perspective that sees and experiences more and more compassion\index{compassion}, love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} from and for others, from and for the self, especially the self, my friends. I am Q’uo, and we would take this opportunity to suggest that each of you is like the small creature that calls for love\index{love} and protection. Speak kindly and lovingly to each Creator that you see, including the one in the mirror. love-sentence-body.tex:2955: In choosing to know Itself the Creator flung from Itself innumerable and infinite\index{infinite} sparks of love\index{love} which coalesced into each awareness that dwells within the infinite awareness. Thus, the choice that birthed each of you was a choice to know the truth, to know the self, and as the Creator is love\index{love}, so is each entity love. Further, before one can be free to serve another, one must come into relationship\index{relationship} with the self, and the process of arriving at a love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self may seem very selfish and egotistical. In the parables of the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} this entity frequently said at the end of a story\index{story}, “Let him who has ears to hear, hear.” And this is the quest of each seeker\index{seeker}, to develop ears that hear ever more accurately the song of love\index{love} that rushes through each moment of experience. Thusly, as each experiences himself, the Creator experiences Itself in an unspoiled and untouched way, totally spontaneous and totally free, and if that entity that is you finds that heart\index{heart} of love\index{love} that is the deepest truth, that finding is completely real for it is not at the surface of things that this truth is obvious. It is not clear at all that each entity is a creature and a child of love. Indeed, it is only by blind faith that we can begin to apprehend that which we do not know and yet that which we do know, love\index{love} itself. The second-density\index{second-density} world embraces itself without self-knowledge but with full knowledge\index{knowledge} of love. Although we cannot speak precisely, although the choice is always veiled in mystery, we would point in the direction of the will which is as the verb in a sentence in which the nouns are made of faith, hope\index{hope}, love\index{love} and charity. You cannot go away from the right path, for those lessons that you came to explore, those lessons of how to love\index{love} and how to allow being loved, are fluid and living and they can move with you wherever you go. We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, thanking this instrument for its service and leaving it in love\index{love} and in light. love-sentence-body.tex:3095: (overview] The question this week has to do with whether or not it is possible in this day and age and in the place in which we live for us to use meditation\index{meditation} and personal works to become the seeker\index{seeker} we hope\index{hope} to be, to achieve that state of being that will allow us to radiate the love\index{love} and the light of the Creator and to continue to expand as learning and growing beings. It is our understanding that the nature of the Creator, the nature of the creation that has been formed in the image of the Creator, is love. This anchoring vibration can be overlaid by any number of vibratory complexes, for each receives an unending supply of the pure vibration of love\index{love} that is the moving energy of the cosmos. Since the very nature of your being is vibration it will not surprise you that we would ask you to evaluate those ways in which you characteristically distort the original vibration of love. This instrument would perhaps choose the one known to her as Jesus\index{jesus} to be an exemplar of undistorted love\index{love}, and yet we say to her and to each of you that this entity, as devoted a servant\index{servant} to the Creator as he was, had many moments and many days and many weeks and many months in which confusion\index{confusion} reigned and the puzzle was not solved. And each of you has this hollowness that is filled with the love\index{love} and the light of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. For if the self can allow infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} and light to move through the self, then that self has the capacity to bless that love and light that flows through it and offer that that has been brought through to the Earth\index{earth} plane. Indeed, it is our feeling that this is the basic work of all spiritually awakened people, this essential beingness of self that does not distort the love\index{love} that flows through the instrument of selfhood. Beyond all the beautiful\index{beautiful} tunes that your instrument might play with the various distortion of the various energy centers there is the wonderful ability to do that essential work that is the work of being that allows love\index{love} and light to flow into the Earth\index{earth} plane undistorted. Though the seeking be the sole desire\index{desire} of the entity and the knowledge\index{knowledge} of truth, love\index{love}, wisdom\index{wisdom} and so forth is that which is sought with every fiber of the being, yet there is the enhancement to the process that humor brings. We are most honored to witness this nobility and this humility\index{humility}, for it shows to us the very heart\index{heart} of the one Creator that wishes to love\index{love} and serve all as the self. We would recommend, as we would in many such instances, that the loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of the process is the first foundation stone to lay in the attempt to serve another entity. As one supports each in the process one may retire periodically to the meditative state to look more deeply at that which occurs in the daily round of activities, for those experiences which, shall we say, push the various buttons, each of the other, and result in the heated words, the hurt feelings, and the overall confusion\index{confusion} as regards the entire situation, one may begin to see a pattern in the relationship\index{relationship} where there is the possibility of progress\index{progress} as each is able to accept what previously seemed unacceptable, each is able to love\index{love} what previously (was] seen as unloveable. For in each instance it is a process of learning that occurs within each individual entity and then is offered in love\index{love} and service to the other. love-sentence-body.tex:3116: And at the very core of each of your beings there is that pure and undistorted love\index{love}, that great original Thought from which all things were created and which moves through all created things to the extent that the distortions within those created things allows for the uninterrupted flow of that love. The yearning for absolute purity, absolute truth, and absolute love\index{love} is a yearning that was within you when you chose to move forth from what this instrument would call the Creator’s house. That love\index{love} has been with you as you have moved through many densities and many experiences, through many worlds, through many lifetimes, and it is that undistorted love that draws you ever onwards towards the source and ending of all that is. And indeed, one reason that wanderers\index{wanderers} first came to this particular planetary sphere\index{sphere} was to transmute the infinite\index{infinite} love\index{love} and light of the one Creator through their physical and metaphysical instrument and out into the Earth\index{earth} plane, creating a net of light that would alleviate and ameliorate the tectonic distress which the Earth is now experiencing. To us, you are love\index{love}, and as we gaze at you we see the reflection and it is love. Know that you are loved for who you are. We bless each and bestow upon these objects of the third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} those feelings of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} which you have spoken of as being somewhat lacking from those whose judgment is heavy upon yourself. We are aware that each entity has those qualities which may be accepted\index{accepted} or rejected by others or by the self, and the great lesson of this illusion\index{illusion} is to love\index{love} with an open heart\index{heart}, to accept without condition... The one Creator, whole and perfect, is contained in each moment, each iota of experience for those whose hearts are open to love\index{love} and to the one Creator. Then does this fullness of love\index{love} and unity pour into the moment until the moment itself is whole and perfect, and the true richness of being is appreciated. love-sentence-body.tex:3180: It is so accustomed now to this theme that when this situation occurs where the entity is giving and is not receiving anything back or is even receiving difficulty and resistance back from the loving offering of the self, this instrument simply becomes aware that the incarnational lesson is recurring again and this instrument assumes, then, that it is recurring at a slightly different level because there are nuances at this level that have not been covered before. Therefore, this instrument is almost too willing to dash forward into the breach and serve that person who has no ability to offer a loving return that this instrument can recognize. That creation is made up of the one great original Thought which is the Logos or love. The Creator is that love\index{love} in utter unpotentiated fullness. The creation is that love\index{love} in its potentiated form and light in its manifested form, and each of you as a creature of love and of light, of manifestation and of Logos, of Creator and illusion. And, above all, that ability to refrain from judging the self as stupid, unworthy or otherwise less than a perfect partner with the Creator and Spirit\index{spirit} in experiencing and responding to the love\index{love} and the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Thusly, will is honed by forgiveness as the self works on the self to come into self-acceptance, self-love, self-forgiveness, and self-worth. And each of you has created an excellent plan which is in effect, and that each of you will do well to create within the self more and more ability to invoke faith and will and to know that all is love\index{love} and, even in the midst of suffering, all is well. love-sentence-body.tex:3198: (overview] The question today has to do with how a group\index{group} can help us to develop our patience\index{patience}, whether it’s patience in what we seek: truth, love\index{love}, the purpose of our life, the purpose of a situation. In the third-density\index{third-density} group\index{group} such as this one, or any other spiritually based group, there is that nature shared with second density\index{second density} and all higher densities of absolute love\index{love} for the waking human consciousness within the cocoon and absolute willingness to absorb and accept all energies coming from the cocooned energies that the being within the cocoon is experiencing. This means that through the subtle connections made within the meditation\index{meditation} within the group\index{group} there lies the potential for vast amounts of healing\index{healing} that can come only from the surety of being loved and the realization that one is completely and totally acceptable. For faith, a sense of humor, persistence, and compassion\index{compassion} are certainly those qualities which are often sought but usually imperfectly found, and yet how blessed it is when the seeker\index{seeker} can find a moment of utter patience\index{patience}, utter humor, utter acceptance\index{acceptance}, or utter love. And all of these streams of emotion flow through the channels of the deep mind in pure and undistorted vibrations, for they are part of what this instrument would call the default setting of the vibration of creation itself, the Logos of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator which is Love. When one attempts to talk about love\index{love} one ends up talking about qualities such as compassion\index{compassion}, faith, hope\index{hope}, patience\index{patience}, and humor. But these are all as the rays of light which comes from the sun of Love\index{love}, each a slightly different color, each a definable and recognizable quality but yet each a ray of light from the heart\index{heart} of the Creator. And what the spiritual group\index{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\index{love} and light. Indeed, it is by a series of connections with other awakened beings that each of you creates the net of love\index{love} that is lightening your planet at this time. The choice which is made by any in third density\index{third density} as to the nature of the polarity\index{polarity} is one of such a fundamental nature that there is constant refinement of the desire\index{desire} to serve as the compassion\index{compassion} is gained that allows one to develop a method of propulsion, shall we say, where the desire\index{desire} to give love\index{love} to the Creator is foremost upon the mind and within the heart. love-sentence-body.tex:3206: This is due to the fact that the entity known as Jesus\index{jesus} was a teacher\index{teacher} concerned with one thing only, and that was love. This entity offered a simple system of beliefs, stating, “Thou shalt love\index{love} the Lord thy God\index{god} with all thy heart\index{heart}, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength\index{strength}, and thy neighbor as thyself. Upon these two commandments,” said the teacher\index{teacher} known as Jesus\index{jesus}, “Depend all of the law\index{law} and the prophets.” In this statement the one known as Jesus specifically moved from the Old Testament, so-called by this instrument, which was the holy work of his people, and delivered and offered a new covenant having only to do with love\index{love}, love of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator and love of each other, beginning with the self and continuing with loving the neighbor as if it were the self. We suspect that each has those relatives or friends or acquaintances whose Christian\index{christian} belief system has a dogmatic aspect sufficient to create an atmosphere of judgment and, therefore, we suspect that each is fully aware of the difficulties involved in moving into the dogmatic beliefs and leaving the simple faith in love\index{love} behind. For in love\index{love}’s focus, in the heart\index{heart}’s focus, there is the specific value of passion, desire\index{desire} and thirst. Then there is no mountain\index{mountain}.” It is the hope\index{hope} of one who seeks along the path of Gautama Buddha\index{buddha} to become able to gaze at all of the passing scene and see nothing, as opposed to the Christian\index{christian} hope\index{hope} of gazing at the passing scene and seeing the Christ\index{christ} or love\index{love}, and the Oriental or Shinto hope of looking at the passing scene and seeing value and worth in the thing itself. You may see each relationship\index{relationship} as a carefully prepared lesson in the giving and receiving of love. And it is well to reconnect persistently with these lower chakra energies as one works within clear communication, the reading of material, and all of the work in consciousness that is so delightful to those who seek after wisdom\index{wisdom} as opposed to love. In the name of religion\index{religion} it is well known throughout all peoples upon your globe that Christian\index{christian}, Jew and Muslim\index{muslim} are a contentious and war-like people whose gods tend\index{tend} to be as aggressive as they are loving. That self is the spark of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and those thoughts that you think are but distortions of the one great original thought that is Love. No matter where you seek you dwell in precincts of love. However, since each of you is, shall we say, strongly suspicious\index{suspicious} of the path shared by each, we may say that that which you share together is a mutual awakening process that allows each of you to open your heart\index{heart} to the other and to develop that quality that you may call compassion\index{compassion}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, mercy, understanding, forgiveness, surrender\index{surrender} and acceptance. Thus, work done between the two of you is work which can benefit the entire planet, for as you are able to find harmony, love\index{love}, understanding and acceptance\index{acceptance} within the self so will you be able to find it within others as all others mirror\index{mirror} to you that which is the heart\index{heart} of your self. love-sentence-body.tex:3227: We send each of you our love\index{love} and our blessing as well. We are of the love\index{love} vibration, and truly there are some concerns that are addressed through the totally open heart\index{heart} rather than through wisdom\index{wisdom} or any mix of love and wisdom. We encourage again and again the communication between loving beings that is honest and clear, saying the hard thing as well and as kindly as possible, for it is in the saying of the hard things and in the bringing up of difficulties, in the exposing of the self in its vulnerabilities and its pain\index{pain} that entities begin to become closer and start to generate the kind of unconditional trust that is necessary for that experience of having true intimacy between two people. And how painful this is, both for the self who is missing the mark unknowingly and for the other self who has not the strength\index{strength} of character to speak up and express in a gentle\index{gentle} and loving way the needs that must be met, the limits of being that must be confessed, the self-perceived faults that must be shared. But at a level deeper than this, at a level deeper than lessons and personality shells, the lessons are all about love. And we would pause that each within the circle\index{circle} may re-center the self upon the realization in this moment of the utter love\index{love} in which each abides. Each is the one infinite\index{infinite} Thought of love\index{love}, brought into flesh, given a voice and hands to do, to serve and to be. But each moves with the breath of love\index{love}, with the energy of light, with the power of deity. And from the standpoint of that loving nature, each is as a vibration and that vibration is an expression of love. It is well to remember that all things come down to issues of love\index{love}, forgiveness, acceptance\index{acceptance} and release. But in both cases we would suggest the most careful thought as to the expression you wish\index{wish} to make as you burn or as you bury, seeing this in true terms of closure, seeing the making of an end and asking the self, “How can I make the most loving and most harmonious end. How can I release this soul to move along its path with the most open heart\index{heart}?” Let this be a concern that brings forth the words that are the highest and the most loving that can be found while at the same time being completely honest and sincere. Realize in a very deep way that the job of the self is to give and receive love. The work of receiving love\index{love} is done when it is perceived as being offered. The work of loving is endless, for it does not take the agreement of another person to love\index{love} that person. All beings may be loved without infringement of free will. So we encourage each to work on loving without expectation of return, without attachment to the outcome of a letter or a telephone call or any other communication, but loving into the void, into the abyss, that is a life lived in faith. We may suggest that when an entity finds that there is little of the foodstuffs that it is interested in, and this is most often especially the case with the young children\index{children} of your peoples, that the need (is] for the intake of love\index{love} from those that are the parents and the, shall we say, significant entities in the life pattern. For in its most basic sense, your food\index{food} is love. It allows the life force\index{force} to continue to move through the physical vehicle, and the young entity will equate the foodstuffs with this quality of love\index{love} that is needed most basically by all entities, especially by the younger entity. If there is some manner in which attention may be given to this young child in a more understandable manner, perhaps then the reflection of being full of love\index{love} will manifest in the eating habits as well. It does not always happen, and thanks for speaking of love\index{love} because it does come through. We are also grateful for your presence and the love\index{love} that we feel from you and indeed that we feel from each within this circle\index{circle} this day. We find that the thanks and the love\index{love} and the sincere desire\index{desire} to seek that we have found within this circle\index{circle} are reflected also within our hearts to each here this day and to all those who hunger within the population of your planet. For there is to our ears a great call for love\index{love} at this time from this planetary population. If each will take the time in each day to meditate and to seek there the one Creator, there is where this love\index{love} may be found in its most obvious quality and sense. But within the heart\index{heart} of your heart, there is the voice of love\index{love} speaking directly to each. love-sentence-body.tex:3248:I would like to follow up on S’s question by noting that we started doing an additional meditation\index{meditation} at 9 o’clock at night to balance the one at 9 o’clock in the morning, with the thought that maybe others would like to join in spirit\index{spirit} from around our global family and wondered if you would comment on this method of expressing love\index{love} and any other concrete suggestions for ways that we could come together as a group\index{group} to make a difference. So that when one loves those who have not been loved previously that one is loving all beings, that when one can heal any misunderstanding or wound in a relationship\index{relationship} that one aids the healing\index{healing} and the loving of this planet and its population. And then, begin to bring the light and the love\index{love} of the one Creator into the image. See that rupture of hurt and pain\index{pain} lightened by this love\index{love} of the one Creator, shining forth through the eyes of all. Though one may feel that such an image is a small thing compared to the immensity of the agony\index{agony} in your world today, we can assure you that when your inner world of spirit\index{spirit} is illumined by your free will choice with love\index{love} and light these thoughts are things, and this is more and more truly so as your planet moves into fourth density\index{fourth density} at this time, and this light and love goes where it is needed. All things are possible when entered into with love\index{love}, acceptance\index{acceptance}, compassion\index{compassion}, humility\index{humility}, tolerance and the light touch. These are your allies, my friends, and each other heart\index{heart} in love\index{love} (who is] joined with you in this great quest which you are upon ever more fully at this time in your planet’s history. The imagining, the imaging is that which calls for from the deeper levels of the subconscious mind the connection with the one Creator, with the Logos of Love\index{love}, that enables that love to move through your being to wherever it is needed. This is a means by which each may avail the self of that ability to open to love\index{love}, to give love, to direct love, to feel love, to be love. This is your link with love. For some the dawning hours are most helpful for they signify the beginning of a new day, a day fresh with opportunity, a day ready to be painted, shall we say, by the heart\index{heart}, by the creative and curious\index{curious} mind, by the passion for living and sharing, for learning and loving. Moreover each of you is the other, and when this truth can be seen and known and felt and experienced and lived in the daily round of activities more and more fully upon your planet, then will the difficulties that you experience at this time and for so long in the history and culture of every country (be eased], then will you be more fully able to channel that love\index{love} and that light in your everyday activities and to heal the wounds that have long festered in the population of all countries and all hearts. Then will it be more possible to know the love\index{love} of the Creator and to see it expressed about one. Know that you are joined by those of the Confederation\index{confederation} of Planets in the Service of the Infinite\index{infinite} Creator upon a daily basis, and when you do meditate or think upon these things a simple request is all that is necessary for various entities from this Confederation of Planets to join you in your meditations, in your thoughts, in your love\index{love} and in your healing. love-sentence-body.tex:3253:I received a letter yesterday from Bruce Peret, and he said that the Earth\index{earth} had once again accepted\index{accepted} us and wanderers\index{wanderers} in general as those whom it would accept love\index{love} from and accept healing\index{healing} from. Yet the alignment possible after such rearrangements is that which welcomes the newer vibrations of love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} which are now moving more fully into expression within some portions of, not only the Earth\index{earth} entity, but large portions of the Earth’s populations. Thus the entity of Earth\index{earth} has begun to vibrate more fully in harmony with both the newer vibrations of love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} and those of the population of this planet which has also sought to harmonize with these vibrations as well. I would just like to ask then: is our daily meditation\index{meditation} practice the best shot that we have at reassuring Mother\index{mother} Earth\index{earth} that we do love\index{love} her and wish\index{wish} to help her through this birth. For the population from this planet that will be able to welcome and enjoy\index{enjoy} the vibrations of love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} is small in comparison to what this planet could comfortably welcome and stably house. This population of the new Earth\index{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\index{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. It is a great honor to be invited to join your circle\index{circle} of seeking, and we can assure each that the Confederation\index{confederation} of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator has many emissaries present at this time observing the movement of your peoples from one concept of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{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\index{love} more and more fully as the catalyst becomes greater and greater. love-sentence-body.tex:3278: 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\index{nation}, many millions of hearts turn now at this season to thoughts of peace\index{peace}, love\index{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\index{fear} and love. So if the one known as Jesus\index{jesus} was offering information about the vibration of a social\index{social} memory complex\index{social memory complex} then the direction that the entities who wish\index{wish} to help form a social memory complex need to go is the direction of forgiveness and love. Whether it is anger\index{anger}, grief\index{grief} or any other negatively perceived emotion, the dynamic is always between love\index{love} and fear. Almost anything that seekers can think of as ways to express their own individual desire\index{desire} and thirst\index{thirst} for being part of the good and the love\index{love} of planet Earth\index{earth} will help. For love\index{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\index{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. There is an energy exchange between those who are vibrating together in love\index{love} with each other on the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} level which is very heartening and very healing\index{healing} for both entities, and we encourage each to attempt in all relationships to move from a point of fourth-density love, acceptance\index{acceptance}, forgiveness and willingness to move on. I begin again.” And let mistakes be mistakes, but stay in the light and the love\index{love} of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator while you make the mistake, and, after you make the mistake, allow yourself your own love rather than your judgment. The one known as Jim has said very truly many times that this world needs a great deal of love. There is a feedback system that begins to work when entities meet spiritually and attempt to love\index{love} each other, even when they misbehave, even when they have difficult times. If you do not respond to it, if you insist on being all love\index{love} and light at all times and not dealing with your feelings, not dealing with your dark side, you shall never make a social\index{social} memory complex. So the first entity that you must fall in love\index{love} with in order to form a social\index{social} memory complex\index{social memory complex} is yourself. If you can fall in love\index{love} with the shadow\index{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 all aspects of light feed\index{feed} into making third density\index{third density} into fourth density\index{fourth density} because all aspects of light can be illuminated by love. Love\index{love} makes food\index{food} taste better. Love\index{love} makes gardens bloom better. Love\index{love} makes children\index{children} grow healthier. Love\index{love} makes businesses thrive. Love\index{love} will also make positive fourth density\index{fourth density} occur because the love energy within many of your people is now approaching that energy which is the graduated third density\index{third density}, the Christ\index{christ} energy. For this entity simply wants to love. This rest that faith gives, again, frees one to love. No one within your sphere\index{sphere} is truly fearless in all ways, but it is well gently but determinedly to work on that fear\index{fear}, work on those separating emotions and realize that all actions expressed lovingly are metaphysically correct. 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\index{love} then we say that is excellent work. It is important to be loving. But attempt more to open the heart\index{heart} to love. Others perhaps respond to the loss of loved ones from earlier times who are not now available for sharing the joy. love-sentence-body.tex:3295: If there is no resonance, either of dismay or of love\index{love}, then this material definitely can be looked at another time. It is purely loving. For you see, to come into an acceptance\index{acceptance} of the she-wolf that runs with you, to come into an acceptance of the liar whose dazzling footsteps dance one out of trouble\index{trouble}, to love\index{love} that self that is able to aim, group\index{group} at three inches, and polish off a target at twenty yards that happens to be a human that is attempting to cause damage to a loved one... This instrument has certainly experienced the feelings of a murderer when a loved one was apparently struck and perhaps killed. Where there is hatred, let us sow\index{sow} love. O divine\index{divine} Master\index{master}, teach us to seek not so much to be loved as to love\index{love}, to be understood as to understand\index{understand}, to be consoled as to console. The voices that are needed are the voices of silence; not our words, not the words of your parents, not the words of any perceived guardian or authority can give you that which is beyond words, the presence of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator whose nature is absolute love. The Creator has come through other generations of being and has found ways closer and closer to understand\index{understand} what love\index{love} is and yet it remains a mystery. In the face of this the challenges of coming into balance with the self may seem insurmountable and yet we say to you that there is a moment which is what this instrument was attempting to speak of when she said falling in love\index{love} with yourself is needed. Upon the level that balance is achieved without dealing with the light and the dark, what is best is simply to come into loving relationship\index{relationship} with the pattern as a whole so that you celebrate the dirt, the muck, the seeming darkness with honest and sincere appreciation, just as you have appreciation for fertilizers in fields and for the cleanliness of a cleaned out system that would be toxic if one were not able to process food\index{food} and remove it through the bowel. The problem is that there is no balance in light that does not have love\index{love} within it. Without love\index{love} the light shall always bend itself into service to self. It is the entity who loves in and out of season that is truly serving. love-sentence-body.tex:3355:That’s beautiful\index{beautiful}! Do you have a thought about how we can work together, because I know H and I both, as group\index{group} leaders, have real hopes of somehow acting to unite the planet in love\index{love} and world friendship. Each has brought certain skills, desires and talents to this incarnation, and each encourages the other most effectively by encouraging each to be, first of all, to be firmly rooted within the harmony, the love\index{love} and the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, to be who each has determined before the incarnation each can most effectively be. For each of you is unique, though each of you is the one Creator, each of you has yet another way of shining forth that love\index{love} and light as a faceted jewel. Seek them together however you can, and light and love\index{love} shall come from this joined seeking, light and love which can heal a wounded\index{wounded} planet. We then would suggest that you do as you do seek, share and love\index{love} together. We are aware that there are those within this group\index{group} and within many other groups as well who take time each day to meditate and to pray\index{pray} and to send love\index{love} and healing\index{healing} energy to all who are in pain\index{pain}; to open their own hearts to the healing love and light of the one Creator; to send that energy to Mother\index{mother} Earth\index{earth}, herself, for her healing as she brings forth a new Earth into fourth density\index{fourth density}; to send that love and light to each entity upon the planet which feels pain\index{pain}, which feels weariness, which feels the sickness and hate\index{hate} and disappointment\index{disappointment} and disease and all those other various ailments which can take the attention and turn the mind to darker thoughts and ways of sharing that do not open the heart\index{heart} but close it. We would suggest that, whenever it is possible, upon a regular basis that you take time to pray\index{pray}, to meditate and to send love\index{love} and light to all who need it. Thus, those who are aware of the change occurring upon the planetary and the cosmic level which reaches into each individual heart\index{heart}, do well to see in their meditations and their prayers hearts that begin to open, minds that begin to open, arms that begin to open, so that there is acceptance\index{acceptance} and love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion} and forgiveness, in place of competition and anger\index{anger}, confusion\index{confusion} and ignorance. love-sentence-body.tex:3393: One of the most nagging questions that I have is I really like what I do; I like being a body worker; I love\index{love} doing massage with people, and I feel like that’s one of the ways that I can be in service of others. As a classroom, the curriculum of Earth\index{earth} is simple: it is love. There are lessons in how to love\index{love}, in how to accept love from others. These lessons may have to do with loving without expectation of return or, in many cases, learning to accept love\index{love} without expectation of debt or guilt. As the one known as J has pointed out, it is often far easier to serve and to love\index{love} without expectation of return than to accept the love offerings of others as a worthy and honorable person. The lesson of acceptance\index{acceptance} of love\index{love} is keyed, therefore, to those who are dealing with exceptional clarity in seeing the landscape of their own imperfection. Consequently, that entity which is working upon opening the heart\index{heart} to being worthy of love\index{love} is also working upon lessons that are linked to the distortion of feeling unworthy. There is, as this instrument has often said, a process which this instrument calls falling in love\index{love} with the self. She is so loving and so faithful. that I might be able to assist and they may be able to assist me in our transformations to be love. love-sentence-body.tex:3414: The balanced, self-aware and self-accepting self is one that has been able to work through these processes, then to analyze, understand\index{understand} and accept the experiences of the past and distill the love\index{love} and wisdom\index{wisdom} contained within them and to use that as a propellant for the rocket to take off into the ethers, such that the self is no longer encumbered by the gravity of the physical but can indeed rise higher and higher into the firmament, with the understanding that there is only irreducible simplicity in this essence of creation. This seed\index{seed}, this child must be protected, loved, cared for, nurtured, encouraged and paid attention to. Protect that spiritual self with your love\index{love}, with your compassion\index{compassion}, with your acceptance\index{acceptance} of the suffering that is going on, placing it all within the loving arms of that Presence that rests within the tabernacle of the heart. When this spherical point has been readapted, then all experiences that happen in the present moment can be understood within the greater matrix of the soul and the understanding of how past, present and future merge into a seamless continuum, much as would the Ziploc baggies in which you have stored the food\index{food} that you have prepared in loving service to others. With the appropriate requisite collapsing of fragmentariness within the lower centers of your physiological organism, as it relates to the glandular systems, and that of the energetic body as it relates to the chakra system, we do then see a greater opportunity for there to be a relative clarity in these lower centers and this does then allow for the spiraling line of light, or the kundalini in this case, to progress\index{progress} higher up the chakra system into that known as the seat of love\index{love}, where the heart\index{heart} is centered, into that known as the seat of will and communication, or the throat center, into that known as the seat of psychic awareness, of the unification of love and compassion\index{compassion}, or that of the brow chakra, and on through the crown (chakra]5 into the gateway density, in which spiritual gravity6 is attained and you again begin collapsing into the oneness. Dive for that deep, deep water\index{water} where truth has been crystallized within your own process, where you can enjoy\index{enjoy} the company of the angels of the deep that are there to comfort you, hold you, love\index{love} you, strengthen you, and send you back into the fray. love-sentence-body.tex:3537: Rest and know all is love. All is one; all is love. So, when you are touching entities, you are touching the groups with which they are involved, and you are binding yourself and others in streams of love\index{love} and mutual hope\index{hope} and ideals. The energy of this formation enhances and intensifies the purity and the clarity of the individual’s ability to open into unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, or, in other words, to become a part of the social\index{social} memory complex. The harder and more fervent the desire\index{desire} to be of the light and to serve at one’s highest and best, the more sharply delineated are those portions of the shadow\index{shadow} side of yourself that have not come into full harmony and acceptance\index{acceptance} within the self as loved, forgiven and redeemed. Only you as a self, falling in love\index{love} with the self and going through a full circuit of forgiving, accepting, redeeming of self, can do the work that enables one not to have the chinks in the armor, as this instrument would say, of light. And so we do offer you farewell, reminding you always that we are with you whenever you should mentally request it, to strengthen and support you, without words but with love\index{love} and energy. love-sentence-body.tex:3600:In dealing with this catalyst, when one is able to bring love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} to the process, is it part of the lessening of the over-activity of the antennas that you have mentioned. love-sentence-body.tex:3684:When you open your heart\index{heart}, the Creator embraces you and shares Its heart with you and when you and the Creator are one and abide in each other [then] all things are one and filled with love. Where are the triggers involved in this situation and how does my highest and best self see into this situation, given that love\index{love} and that wisdom\index{wisdom} that have come to me in this day?” For you truly have grown today. Wonderful is that moment when you blow it all away with the true wine of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} so that you are in full body contact with yourself, your essence, and who you really are. By faith, even if you are stuck in a job where you do not see how you are truly helping, you can know that you are helping (because] you are you and the love\index{love} with which you do that job is the greatest gift in the world and one worthy to be given. love-sentence-body.tex:3688: The other bursts of energy which have hit this planet, and indeed your entire solar system, are those coming from what this instrument has sometimes called the great central Sun and are informed by the combined love\index{love} and concern of various of the larger groups of entities who wish\index{wish} this planet and indeed this solar system well. In many cases, this person was chosen specifically so that you could work on loving yourself. It is often very difficult to approach in a direct way the central challenge of loving the self and so you are given mirrors. Sometimes the mirrors are loving and honest and you get a pretty fair image of yourself, one that you can look upon with some feelings of stability and trust in that image that you are seeing. Perhaps you put that entity in your life simply to learn\index{learn} to love\index{love} without expectation of return. Now, we have spoken of the heart\index{heart} chakra and about how that, although it seems that it is a wonderful place, always open, always loving and so forth, actually the heart chakra is a real challenge to negotiate. They do not include the energies of loving. You see crowds of entities associated with all the work that you have done in the lower three chakras, entities and situations which you have not entirely digested, entities and situations which are unloved by you, unforgiven, unaccepted and not seen as a worthy part of the self. It is enough that you love\index{love} and accept yourself as you are. You are immediately and without any more hesitation in that place within the heart\index{heart} that is sacred\index{sacred} and in which the Creator sits waiting for you with infinite\index{infinite} patience\index{patience} and love. We do encourage each of you who seeks to let go of old pain\index{pain} to meet the lions at that gate squarely, daily, to walk in and sit down and let yourself be loved, understood and totally accepted. Some of you are healers, some of you are communicators, and some of you are those who love. Yet we assure you that no loving acceptance\index{acceptance} that you are able to achieve of yourself stops with yourself. We encourage you to embrace every seeming obstacle, resistance and difficulty, asking it what its gift is for you, embracing it, accepting it, and loving it. Consult your guidance system, root down into your earth\index{earth}, your environment, your relationships, and especially your relationship\index{relationship} with yourself, and then sail on, fearless and full of love\index{love} for the moment, for the test, for the Creator, and for your part in it all as a cell of the creative principle. The reasons for these closures are very involved in third-density\index{third-density} political and economic agendas which do not, shall we say, have that stamp of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} at all. We would also offer our humble\index{humble} suggestion that, in terms of metaphysical progress\index{progress} among your people, the goal of understanding such machinations may helpfully be described as knowing what (it] is in order to love\index{love} it and forgive it unconditionally. Love\index{love} them. We are always with you if you ask for us to deepen your meditation\index{meditation} and to love\index{love} you. love-sentence-body.tex:3696: For, although your main reason for incarnating was that which you wished to offer and give, you also chose certain balances on which to work, most notably the balance between love\index{love} and wisdom. Like many entities, you chose lessons such as learning to love\index{love} without expectation of return, and learning to listen with compassion\index{compassion} to those entities who do not think as do you and whose logic does not run as does yours. Your hope\index{hope} was to blossom and to yield the harvest of that blossoming to the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator, to the planet into which you incarnated in order to serve, and to all of those upon the planet, that race of humankind which you love\index{love} so dearly and wish\index{wish} so keenly to help. We do not encourage you to develop that darkness by loving the darkness and encouraging within yourself the energies of selfishness and service to self. Rather, we ask you to realize that these darker energies within you are a part of you that you can redeem\index{redeem} and balance by your loving of them within you. Loving and accepting these darker images of self does not mean encouraging illicit or immoral behavior. Rather, it encourages you to integrate the darkness into your whole self, to accept the wolf within, as this instrument would call it, to embrace those things about yourself that are the least attractive so that you can cuddle them, lull them into sleep\index{sleep} when necessary, and create a structure for them within yourself in which they are given useful work to do for the light, realizing that you have only to love\index{love} those portions of self in order to place them where they belong\index{belong} in the balance of your energies. You, my brother, long ago began to do so and through the years you have penetrated the first heart\index{heart}, that outer temple\index{temple}, shall we say, and moved into the inner temple of unconditional love. It is the parts of yourself that are as yet unredeemed by your love\index{love}, your compassion\index{compassion}, and your full acceptance\index{acceptance}, that are creating for you at once an under-energizing and an over-activation of the blue-ray chakra. Go and get it, bring it home, and love\index{love} it, forgive it, accept it, and know yourself to be fully there and fully worthy. For all of those who are able to graduate, that is the first destination, that being the larger life of unconditional love. We would encourage you in the context of being still within third density\index{third density} to focus upon living from the open heart\index{heart} so that you are already living in unconditional love\index{unconditional love} and are harvestable. We do realize that you, like many wanderers\index{wanderers}, have no great affection for the environment of third density\index{third density} and so we would greatly encourage you to look to the wholeness and integrity of your heart\index{heart} energy and attempt more and more to live very genuinely and naturally in those sacred\index{sacred} precincts of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} which are so dear to you. We cannot tell you how much we admire and love\index{love} you and at any time you would wish\index{wish} us to be a part of your meditations, you have only to ask for our presence. love-sentence-body.tex:3761: So she will say, “Come Holy Spirit\index{holy spirit}! Fill the heart\index{heart} of your faithful and kindle in her the fire\index{fire} of your love. There is what this instrument would call a yin or feminine side to guidance having to do with nurturing and the immediacy of unconditional love. It is more important by far that you see the dynamic between love\index{love} and wisdom\index{wisdom}, and so forth. But it is well to invoke spirit\index{spirit}, if so you do, in a way which specifically honors and respects the dynamic of love\index{love} and wisdom\index{wisdom} in your guidance system. It also may be a connection that you pick up because of work that you have done in consciousness or in service in which you have created for yourself the characteristics of what this instrument would call a “lighthouse,” where you are consciously and with dedication and persistence standing very close, as close as you can, to the light and the love\index{love} of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. Any shadow\index{shadow} that you cast, or to say it another way, any nicks in your armor of light that offer erroneous thinking or an immature understanding of love\index{love}, light, wisdom\index{wisdom}, truth and so forth, can constitute such a point of weakness which makes it possible for entities to enter the energy system. We would suggest simply that you realize that whether an entity is involved or not, the reason for your having attracted this energy is your very loving and light-filled nature. Therefore, even if it is an entity with a name, a background, and so forth, yet still, in its essence, it is yourself and, more specifically, it is mirroring to you a part of yourself that is unredeemed by your own acceptance\index{acceptance}, forgiveness and love. A man whom I love\index{love} very much seems to be oriented to service to self\index{service to self} and to be fairly polarized in that direction. Find out, firstly, precisely what the nature of this shadow\index{shadow} image is and then ask yourself if you can love\index{love}, accept, forgive and transmute these energies. In terms of your own work, use this and every relational dynamic as information concerning yourself and look always with eyes of the deepest and most sacred\index{sacred} love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} upon the issues raised by this imaging process. And I also thank\index{thank} the one known as Carla and Vara and all the guides\index{guides} and other assistants that I feel have been present today, and I send you light and love. love-sentence-body.tex:3781: You know that as you learn\index{learn} the ways of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, you shall prepare yourself for graduation into an environment in which unconditional love\index{love} is manifest, obvious, overt and apparent. Can you live in a private universe: the universe inside your own being and inside your own heart\index{heart} where unconditional love\index{unconditional love} has become the order of the day. Can you love\index{love} without expectation of return. Nor is she overly concerned that ridicule or scorn of her would make any difference in her ability to love\index{love} the entity who is scorning her. She dares much in attempting to express, awkwardly and in this shadow\index{shadow} world, an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance\index{acceptance} and love. There are many within your age group\index{group} who are ready to awaken to this common and shared vision of living the ways of love. Therefore, we encourage you to use the simple, ordinary and everyday aspects of your life to create ways of communicating via the internet with those entities which you are faithfully and peacefully sure exist, sharing in the ever imperfect ways of words the love\index{love} that is held in your vision. Each moment that you are able to live there fills with you the love\index{love} and the light of ten thousand years spent in the hurly burly of normal living. Love\index{love} them all. We are aware through this instrument’s mind that you gather together to give thanks at this time and to feast together.3 May you feast not only on food\index{food} of the physical (kind] but on the food of your laughter, your love\index{love}, and your shared energy, for you are blessings to each other, dear brothers and sisters, and together you truly are beautiful\index{beautiful} to us. love-sentence-body.tex:3927:The Yogic system is far more complex and far more accurate. What you do when you bring the passion of the heart\index{heart} and the desire\index{desire} of the mind into harmony is to yoke will and love\index{love} into a working pair of creatures that can draw the cart of your seeking process forward and engage your will, the faculty of your purified desire. The work that one does upon the chakra system in order to raise the meeting point between the incoming love\index{love} and light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator and the downpourings that are called forth by questions and in prayers, creates the point at which work may be done. There may be flashes of great inspiration and clarity in anyone, because of special occurrences that catalyze a moment of clarity and an opening of that faculty wherein the guidance system of an entity may pour in love\index{love} and inspiration. If your deepest desire\index{desire} is to learn\index{learn} how to love\index{love} with wisdom\index{wisdom} and to know what it is to have compassion\index{compassion} while invoking justice\index{justice}, then you move into those energies of acceptance\index{acceptance} and of justice that are invoked in blue\index{blue} ray. But you cannot simply desire\index{desire} to love\index{love} the Creator and expect to have full energy into indigo. However we would advise you, in order to have a balanced invocation, to spend time daily focusing not on what you need but on your thanks, your gratitude\index{gratitude}, your joy\index{joy}, and your devotion\index{devotion} to and love\index{love} of the infinite\index{infinite} Creator. For it is not the entity who waits to have a conversation with the Creator until there is a need to whom realization is given but rather it is to the one who goes to the Creator as to his lover because he cannot stay away, because he cannot stop thinking about the beloved One. Even a tiny rune of the great tablet of wisdom\index{wisdom} and love\index{love} available to the seeking soul is often enough to recharge the inspiration that has gone lacking for lack of exposure to the process itself. love-sentence-body.tex:3951: If so, are there metaphors, fields of inquiry, images, analogies or spiritual principles which come into play in this developing relationship\index{relationship}, which will help me experience this relationship and treat my son in the most loving and skillful way. The first generation of wanderers\index{wanderers} was made up of those such as this instrument, which responded to the call of Earth\index{earth} by coming from a higher density to move into incarnation and share the love\index{love} and the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator with those of this planet in an attempt to shift the planetary energies more towards the light. However, this second generation of wanderers\index{wanderers} is characterized by more confidence than the first generation of wanderers, but also less of a dedication of service to others\index{service to others} in that their chief motivation for coming into incarnation at this latter hour of your third density\index{third density} was to use the boot camp like atmosphere of planet Earth\index{earth} to do what they would consider “quick and dirty work” in adjusting the balance of their energies between love\index{love} and wisdom. For others who already have their hearts opened, it means emphasizing wisdom\index{wisdom} and asking the open heart\index{heart} to receive that highest and best self’s wisdom which comes from guidance and informs loving compassion\index{compassion} in such a way that there is equanimity\index{equanimity} to match the passion of your dedication to service. These are fourth-density\index{fourth-density} wanderers\index{wanderers}, whose first act, upon choosing what would please\index{please} them the most to do next, was to return to their beloved home planet in order to assist not only the people of planet Earth\index{earth}, but also, and perhaps more principally, the planet itself. When you and he are doing loving and positive things, the dance is a happy\index{happy} dance, or so it seems to your judgment. Such expressions are your invitation to tell your stories, share your wisdom\index{wisdom}, and embrace the child in an atmosphere of acceptance\index{acceptance} and love. Forget all except loving, being loved, and sharing your dreams. Let your creativity blossom as you surround this child with the essence of your unspoken love. These are all the creatures of your honest and heartfelt\index{heartfelt} love\index{love}, and they will be good companions for your child. W love-sentence-body.tex:3964: Every student remembers teachers that lifted subject matter from the conscious everyday level of “learn\index{learn} these facts” and “take the test” to a level which let the student see into why the teacher\index{teacher} loved that particular discipline\index{discipline} and why that teacher was teaching that particular class. Love\index{love}, passion and affection are catching. When a teacher\index{teacher} loves the subject he is teaching often he is able to excite others because of his love\index{love}, his affection, and his passion for his discipline. So even when you are simply trying to memorize the facts of biology, chemistry or astronomy, a good teacher\index{teacher} will motivate you through his love\index{love} of the subject to create a sense of adventure in learning that is lacking from an uninspired teacher’s presentation. Implicit in his silent meditation\index{meditation} (are] his acceptance\index{acceptance}, true love\index{love}, and all of the environment which points the student toward his own essence. Loved, cherished, supported and encouraged. Love\index{love} is reflected in love. You may open upon the creation of the Father\index{father} and through you entities may see light and love. What we mainly wish\index{wish} to assure you of, my sister, is that because your translation is done in love\index{love} and because your offering is a labor of love you not only carry the vibrations of the original but you enhance it by the addition of your special (offer] of energy so that there are two translators. Consequently, you may rest assured that you lose nothing of the vibration of love\index{love} and light which you yourself feel as you receive this information in English. Indeed, you may be encouraged to know that you add to those vibrations richness and depth by your love\index{love} and light and your dedication to service. This is always the nature of spiritually based communications, because (you] are not talking about apples and pears, you are talking about truth, justice\index{justice}, beauty, compassion\index{compassion}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, realization and enlightenment. We will be there to love\index{love} you, to support you. It has been a supernal loving experience for us being with you this evening. love-sentence-body.tex:3998: You are very sensitive instruments, holding tremendous power, the power of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, that love\index{love} which created all that there is, which created you, and which would create children\index{children} through your use of sexual\index{sexual} intercourse if you so desired\index{desired} it and made it possible through your own sexual\index{sexual} intercourse with your mate. Indeed, for the untutored entity who may indeed be fond of this lover, or even have decided to marry and take a spouse\index{spouse}, these orange- and yellow-ray activities of personal relationship\index{relationship} and legal relationship are not yet enough to create a true energy exchange. And so the couple that wishes to express sacred\index{sacred} sexuality and to become entities who serve in a certain way in the environment of planet Earth\index{earth} agree together, very consciously, to set forth on a journey together in which they woo each other with true affection and patience\index{patience}, in which they see the Creator in each other, and in which they feel the power of the Creator’s love\index{love} and the Creator’s light. Each mate dedicates itself to loving the other unconditionally. That is why entities are so specific about whom they love. The woman is expressing acceptance\index{acceptance}, unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, and the energy of the Creator Itself. This combination creates an infinite\index{infinite} atmosphere of unconditional love. Certainly, when these sounds are brought together into inspiring speech or ineffable singing, once again the human heart\index{heart} can begin to hear the sacredness of sound and the power of the human breath to express the love\index{love} and the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator. It is well to sense the self as a priest\index{priest} and to know that each time you open your mouth, you have the power to judge and you have the power to love\index{love} and forgive. love-sentence-body.tex:4025: That which created all that there is is a certain vibration of consciousness that, for lack of a better\index{better} term, we have called unconditional love\index{unconditional love} or Logos. That one, great, original Thought or Logos has created the starry heavens, the vast spaces within each molecule of your body, and you, a unique point of intersection that catches two worlds, that of the everyday, waking consciousness of your people, skating across the pond of life, and that of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator whose Thought is a Thought of unconditional love. Perhaps you have known people whose gaze instantly made you glad and happy\index{happy} because of the quality of love\index{love} in their gaze. Or have you brought down the blight of intolerance, prejudice and the acceptance\index{acceptance} of injustice and lack of love. Are those core principles the principles of free will, of intelligent infinity\index{infinity}, and love/light. Ask, and we shall be there; not with words, but with our love\index{love} and with that information that goes too deep for words. love-sentence-body.tex:4050: It is a great reward of the spiritual life that eventually you become able to choose to bring into the forefront of your awareness that selfhood of yours which does not partake of any masks, but rather rests in the mystery of the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} of the Creator. Indeed, the sum total of becoming aware of this impersonal center or core to the self is that you fall in love\index{love} with your foolish, human personality shell. You accept yourself just as you are, for it is this vehicle that has served you so well and offered you so many occasions for laughter, comradeship, love\index{love} and affection. It is this very personality that has allowed you to open your arms and embrace others and to accept the love\index{love} of others. As you spot these angles and edges in your approach to life and you see that they are destructive of life and denying of the unity of all things, you may well work upon enlarging your point of view and gradually, lovingly, gently bringing these fear-based biases of personality more into the light, that you may develop within yourself a greater compassion\index{compassion} for all of life and a greater knowledge\index{knowledge} and sense, on a personal level, of the unity of yourself and those who you have thought to exclude from your good offices. And that, my friends, is love. Look for the love. Whoever it is that you ask, whether it be the Confederation\index{confederation}, the Holy Spirit\index{holy spirit}, your higher self, your guru, your teacher\index{teacher}, inspirational writing, or whatever it is to which you look for aid, seek in all ways to enlarge your awareness of the love\index{love} within you; of the love flowing through you; of the love that you are able to radiate to those about you. And, indeed, even those who read this transcript at a later time shall be a part of the energy of this session and shall contribute their love\index{love} and their light and their interest\index{interest} to the energy that is experienced by the sitting circle\index{circle} at your local time and space. And all those forces of love\index{love} which are a part of your future are, at the same time, profoundly a part of your present moment. As you bless, in your own unique way, that energy that moves through you, as you dedicate it to the love\index{love} and the light of the one infinite\index{infinite} Creator and to service in the Creator’s name, you color that light with your blessing. And we would say to the one known as S that it is in that profound acceptance\index{acceptance} of the self, that coming to love\index{love} the self and rest within one’s skin in utter peace\index{peace} without giving oneself difficulties without doubting the self, that this transformation of the very cells of your body will take place. Think of fourth density\index{fourth density} as you have imagined it, that realm of light and love\index{love} where you are still playing the card game of seeking and learning, yet everyone’s hand is face up upon the table with all the cards showing. So there is a far more complex, and at the same time a far more simple, balance of loving and being loved. It is no longer a stretch to love\index{love} entities at the soul level. Everyone of whom you thought perhaps too well in third density\index{third density}, in fourth density\index{fourth density} becomes a very human, flawed and entirely lovable character. So the fourth density\index{fourth density} values are those of compassion\index{compassion}, acceptance\index{acceptance}, support, encouragement and resting in love\index{love}, in all that you see and all that you think. By the time it comes to the doing of things, you are set in your course and your actions shall be those that are imbued with a genuinely heartfelt\index{heartfelt} love. love-sentence-body.tex:4122: This is the temptation for those who love\index{love} beautiful\index{beautiful} things, not realizing that beauty begins with the stench of birth\index{birth}, the blood, the wailing, the sharp light, and the terror. But there is such a deep acceptance\index{acceptance} of consensus reality in many that there is no potential outlet for creative expression in the sense of original creativity, although you may see the creative impulse\index{impulse} moving through any entity’s life in a collection of Barbie Dolls arranged just so, or a beautifully decorated Christmas tree\index{tree}, or meals that are prepared with love\index{love}, or children\index{children} that are raised with genius. In this compression into image, metaphor, melody and so forth comes an intensification of power, so that an artist may punch through fear\index{fear} and bring the attendee or the audience into a place of freedom or love. I will use this energy to see more deeply into myself, to accept myself more fully, to love\index{love} myself more dearly, to see the Creator within me, and honor that spark of Godhead.” love-sentence-body.tex:4233:Q’uo, here’s a question from G2, who says: “I had such an emotional experience during the inauguration of Barack Obama! All the things that we desired\index{desired} for a new world seem to have been manifested—love, acceptance\index{acceptance}, etc. We cannot say, my brother, that because of this moment there was a leap ahead in the planetary level of vibration, for as you have noted, my brother, the energies which baffle and confuse the energies of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} did not become healed and go away from your world scene. Therefore, every attempt that is made by persons or groups of people to send love\index{love} into the earth\index{earth} energy, to send peace\index{peace} into the earth energy and so forth, is an effort well made, and an efficacious one as well. Just as the energies of heat have moved down into the planetary entity that is your Earth\index{earth}, also the energies of cooperation, love\index{love}, unity, understanding and communication can aid greatly. It is that they see this karmic residue and wish\index{wish} to fulfill that karma\index{karma} with the balancing energies of love\index{love} and affection for the planet that remove the self forever from the wheel of that particular karma. love-sentence-body.tex:4251: There is acceptance\index{acceptance} of all of the imperfect-seeming self by a love\index{love} so great that it has called you and the creation into being. It is indeed so that the workings of service-to-self\index{service-to-self} polarized entities depend heavily on fear\index{fear}, for fear and love\index{love} cannot coexist. There are many, however, whose personalities are such that they do wish\index{wish} to stay abreast of what is happening and we find that there is no harm whatsoever in learning all that you wish to learn\index{learn} about the affairs of the day as long as you remember that you are not here to judge, but to love\index{love} that which you see. All that you see is love\index{love} in some distortion or another and you are here to reflect love back into that which you see. And as you come into realizations concerning how the two polarities work and how they complement each other, open your heart\index{heart} to love\index{love} what you see, to send love into the situations that disturb you, to rejoice\index{rejoice} with those things that you see that speak to the primacy and the victory of love, for that you shall see beyond all of those implements of fear\index{fear} that so abound in your outer world. We thank\index{thank} you for this query and we rest with you in constant meditation\index{meditation}, which you may call on at any time that you wish\index{wish} to rest and feel loved. For all entities need that sensation of being loved and being supported. love-sentence-body.tex:4373: But we remember the difficulties and the challenges that we faced when we must find love\index{love} by faith alone, and find faith by love alone. And may we say to each of you, thank\index{thank} you for the decision to come together—may we even say to come home—for just a little while, to experience a safe place and an energy that is alive with the love\index{love} of the one great original Thought. Find that place within you that loves yourself. And accept yourself, because that makes of you a co-Creator that will love\index{love} others and accept others. This is your greatest gift to your self, to your loved ones, and to the planet. It is not that you mean to wear the mask, or to don the costume, but it is impossible to express your true self, which is unconditional love. If you change your thoughts to those of love\index{love} and laughter, acceptance\index{acceptance}, compassion\index{compassion} and understanding, your behavior will take care of itself. All of you at this time are great healers by your love. My friends, your feast is love\index{love} itself. Walk the fields of your consciousness and find ever new those growing wild things that, when plucked young, shall make ever tastier the feast of love. You have decided upon your present—and we do mean that pun, my friends, staying in the present moment and being a creature of love\index{love}; seeing with eyes of love; thinking with thoughts of love and having an understanding heart. Ask of yourself not how much you have done today, but how much have you loved today. If one were able closely and carefully to (see what is happening, these cells] are being enhanced in a manner which will allow a greater experience of the Density of Love\index{love} and Understanding which is now beckoning and shall shortly be that predominant experience of this illusion. This is your faith, shall we say, at this time a great transition upon your beloved Planet Earth. And yet, as each responds to these requests for service, the Creator is served, the Creator is seen, the Creator is loved. love-sentence-body.tex:4377: We are members of the Confederation\index{confederation} of Angels and Planets in the Service of the Infinite\index{infinite} Creator, and it is our pleasure to have been called to this group\index{group} for there is a call for information that is compatible with the vibration of information which we offer, that is, the vibration of service to others\index{service to others} and unconditional love. It is as a beloved part of the one creation that you come by this affinity for synchronicity. It is the consciousness of love\index{love}, the Logos, the one Creator. Yet they are those which not only guard the treasures of love\index{love} and understanding, but also guard you, each of you, careful to support you as you seek along the King’s Highway, which is entirely in the abyss of midair. When you have taken your leap into faith, when you have realized the power of your intention and your will and your desire\index{desire}, and when you have begun to set your intention to seek, to set your will to be a servant\index{servant} of the light and the love\index{love} of the one infinite\index{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. 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\index{love} all that there is. It creates within you a feeling of validation and support and you would like all of those for whom you love\index{love} and care to have that same experience. Close your mouth, open your eyes of love\index{love} and listen to your loved ones, your acquaintances, those whom you would help. Relate to them with love\index{love} and respect. You still are a being whose very essence is love. Let the love\index{love} shine. It is that which shines through you, the love\index{love} of the Creator. There are some who love\index{love} this experience of the silence so much that they spend much time there and there are others who find it challenging to dwell in the silence without some focus. And then when you come out of that silence, sing, my friends! Laugh\index{laugh} and love\index{love} and feel the joy\index{joy} of being in this creation, a child and heir of the infinite\index{infinite} One. It’s a matter of taking a day or two, or however (long] that which you call asthma might ask you to take, and gently, without judgment for yourself, move into that silence and let yourself be flooded with love. Then it is a matter of opening your arms and embracing yourself, loving yourself through and through, precisely the way you are. It is an exercise in acceptance\index{acceptance}, love\index{love}, blessing and inclusion. See her clearly, love\index{love} her dearly, and tell her the best truth you know. In order to serve, you have to begin with yourself, so see yourself clearly, love\index{love} yourself dearly, and tell yourself the best truth you know. love-sentence-body.tex:4446: Before the incarnation began, you made these plans to offer yourselves these challenges to learn\index{learn} how to love\index{love} and accept all about you when it seems quite unacceptable to even have to deal with some situations. For upon all journeys, these qualities exist, especially for those who are able to open their hearts in love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} for those times which are most difficult—those times in which it would seem a better\index{better} choice to ignore or run away from the difficulties. So how do you go about opening your hearts, to allow the divine\index{divine} guidance, the divine presence, the one Creator, a heart\index{heart} of love—whatever you wish\index{wish} to call it—this quality that may aid you on your journey by changing your point of view, by changing the nature of your beingness, by making you able to channel through your being those loving energies which encircle and enwrap all difficulties, and destroy them with love\index{love} by making them also love. For each of you, my friends, receives this intelligent energy, or love\index{love}, from the one Creator upon a daily basis. And which expresses itself as well in your sexual\index{sexual} nature where you are able to reproduce your species, able to refresh your being and that of your mate, and allow those energies to move even higher so that the intelligent energy or love\index{love} of the one Creator begins to make a pathway or channel through your system of chakras. Thus, day in and day out, one deals with events, some of a nature that gives promise and gives hope\index{hope} and gives love\index{love} and gives life, and some of the nature that, to all outward appearance, works in a direction quite opposite to these. And one very often feels this sense of purpose in the responsibility one takes for those other selves that one has learned to love\index{love} along the way. To love\index{love} is an activity that begins a process of opening the heart. And in the moment lies love. A little act of loving acceptance\index{acceptance}, that is the key. Thus we would suggest that each look for those areas within the life experience which can be simplified, that the focus of one’s mind, body and spirit\index{spirit} might be centered upon the ineffable and infinite\index{infinite} qualities of love\index{love}, wisdom\index{wisdom}, and sharing these qualities with all whom one meets in the daily round of activities. Indeed for most of the population of your planet, the opportunity to achieve that which you have called graduation of harvest into the density of love\index{love}, has brought into that realm of experience a great many types of busyness that need some kind of attention. At this time we would thank\index{thank} each present for offering the energies which have made this circle\index{circle} of seeking possible, for blending your love\index{love} and desire\index{desire} to be of service to all others here and all others around the planetary surface, so that there are many, many beacons of light joining their energies together at this time and the net of light grows upon and within your planetary surface. There are many seekers such as yourselves which offer a great deal of love\index{love} and support to all entities who wish\index{wish} to open their hearts in love in an unconditional fashion, to all about them, to all other entities, to all other surfaces of the planet, shall we say, to the things, to the trees, to the birds, to the flowers, to the air—seeing the Creator everywhere. As one moves further and further along this path, there is the ability to see the Creator more and more fully and frequently, and to experience the love\index{love} of the Creator within all things, all entities, all times and places. love-sentence-body.tex:4450: They describe the “mind of the heart\index{heart}” as being a consciousness of love. With every additional act of acceptance\index{acceptance} of self by self, the crust\index{crust} begins to thin so that, over time, when this process is consciously empowered, eventually the crust may become thin enough that it no longer holds the heart\index{heart} in a constricted space, and the heart is allowed to expand and to inform the world with its love. When the heart\index{heart} reaches outward to the world in love\index{love}, the world is reflected back as love, lovingly, and heart then begins to sing that song which is its native tongue, so to speak. It opens the gateway to a world which is loving at its core, but we will say that there are, in this love\index{love}, many layers of what you experience as emotion, and the emotion does not always seem immediately to be of a loving nature or to be of the nature of that which encourages a further opening of the heart. Use these in conjunction with further mentation and meditation\index{meditation} until you feel that you have equipped your heart\index{heart} center with the trappings, shall we say, of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, of the giving and receiving of this love. Perhaps you could make it a personal experience in that you could then find a friend or family member who would perhaps enjoy\index{enjoy} and appreciate further discussion and elaboration of a mental nature upon these crystallized feelings and expressions of unconditional love. That which perhaps has been neglected or repressed in past experience, allow it to come forward and to be able to share this burgeoning energy of acceptance\index{acceptance}, of love\index{love}, within your own being before another being or situation. However, we are also quite sure that each entity has within its own realm of personal experience those areas that could benefit by receiving the love\index{love} offerings of your heart\index{heart} center. What we are recommending is that you become more and more familiar with the qualities of love\index{love} in an unconditional sense, and what they might feel like after having considered their mentally descriptive parameters. As you exercise its qualities of unconditional and all compassionate love\index{love}, these qualities are enhanced and your ability to experience and express them are also enhanced. It is always helpful to any healing\index{healing} process to engage in the meditative and prayerful state of mind and being which sends love\index{love} and healing thoughts and energies to the one wishing the healing. It is such a joy\index{joy} to us to see dedicated spirits joined together with hearts and minds open and sharing, creating the most beautiful\index{beautiful} vibrations of love\index{love} upon the time/space planes that does indeed reach to your heavens. love-sentence-body.tex:4498: Can you imbue the business of your being with a certain kind of love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} that is as, shall we say, the atmosphere that you breathe. Can you find a way to open your heart\index{heart} in all of your endeavors of the day, so that the love\index{love} and compassion\index{compassion} that exists there might color and make whole that which you are engaged in with all those around you. Can you make it a practice to find ways to share the love\index{love} that is within you with all those that are about you. If you can find time for an extra meditation\index{meditation}, an extra contemplation, an extra consideration of some kind that will refocus you, that is also a great assistance, but if the time is truly so short that you feel it is not possible to do anything worthwhile in the time that you have, then look upon the possibility of using your refocused conscious intention to open your heart\index{heart} and share what is there, so that what you do in your daily round of activities is, shall we say, marinated in this loving vibration that each of you has. Ask, and then let that energy of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of compassion\index{compassion} flow through you so that you may imbue all that you do with it. This instrument has requested a wall of light be placed around this group\index{group} that it might feel the freedom and the safety of blending open hearts in a mutual seeking and, shall we say, celebration of the love\index{love} of the open heart. We would put to the deepest of these resources a simple word, and that is love\index{love}, and we would say that as you turn your attention to the effort to process catalyst which can come upon you as apparently unprocessable, that you begin by recognizing that it is you, my friends, you who are all things, and the disturbance in your force\index{force} field, shall we say, is your disturbance, and as your disturbance, it is subject to that wee small will to heal, which arises within you as your innermost desire\index{desire}, your innermost aspiration. By loving that little bit of energy which is present to you as unlovable, you subtly begin a process whereby that energy is transformed (so] that catalyst may be moved to a higher plane of encounter, shall we say. And just as when your own difficulties and your own traumas are given the opportunity to be expressed, to be felt, to be loved, you can find also that those that have entered the general admixture of energies which constitute your social\index{social} matrix2 can find themselves also healed, and sometimes in a rather abrupt way. However, we find that those entities within the circle\index{circle} have refused to be tempted, to be stopped, or to be swayed in their journeys forward, thus they are able to send love\index{love} and light energy to the negative oriented entities and thus blunt their attempt at stopping positive movement forward. Thus a portion of that One Creator in your personality moves in the murky waters of the third-density\index{third-density} experience and does a great service to all of us who observe this movement as you ask for our assistance, as you continue your own movement, and as you are so carefully focused in your efforts to seek love\index{love} and light within all that you see, within all that you are, and with all that you serve. When you stuff your money in a mattress, you secrete it there.”(footnote end][footnote start]“the general admixture of energies which constitute your social\index{social} matrix”: presumably referring to the relationships of your life, from family, friends, loved ones, colleagues, neighbors, frenemies, etc.[footnote end] love-sentence-body.tex:4503: (overview] In our question today, we are looking to learn\index{learn} more about the metaphysical dynamics behind love. Ra\index{ra} mentions love\index{love} in many contexts, including saying things such as “the great healer\index{healer} of distortions is love” (62.26] and “love is the great protector.” [63.5] We’d like to know, metaphysically speaking, how love can do these things such as protect and heal. Many there are who rejoice\index{rejoice} at your gathering, your questioning, your seeking, your sharing, your very being of who you are, each a portion of the One Creator venturing out into the illusion\index{illusion} of third density\index{third density} to find there the love\index{love} and the light that are everywhere, and yet within your density seem to be so well hidden that many doubt\index{doubt} their existence. We assure you, my friends, that when you gather together as you do today, you bring that love\index{love} and light to the fore that all may see and share in its sharing of love, of healing\index{healing}, of protection, and of those qualities that you may call the intuitive perception of the nature of reality, for love has made all that there is. If you look upon love\index{love} as being the primary energizing creative force\index{force} of the One Creator, and that love is that which is the fabric of creation, and you see that unity that is reflected everywhere outside and inside of yourself for in all places is the One Creator. Therefore, you asked this afternoon a number of queries concerning the qualities of love\index{love} to be able to heal, to protect, to be able to express itself in both your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} of space/time, and in the spiritual or metaphysical realms of time/space. My friends, it is possible for you to look upon love\index{love} and see a force\index{force} which can do all things and not just those which you have mentioned, for there are no limits upon love in its basic nature. Love\index{love} may be seen as the concept of what you may call the Logos, the primary energy or mover of the Creation in various portions that you would see as star systems and galaxies, for there are infinite\index{infinite} Logoi scattered throughout the one creation that are themselves the creation of the One Creator. So how can the concept of love\index{love}, then, that which you see as the open-hearted sharing of compassion\index{compassion} and understanding, of acceptance\index{acceptance}, be able to protect one, shall we say, to heal one. In essence, these are two facets of one ability of the concept of love\index{love} that moves from the green-ray energy center within each being who has opened the heart\index{heart} in the giving and receiving of love. When you love\index{love}, you are awakening this same quality in entities around you, in the forces of nature, shall we say, that also surround you. If you can open your heart\index{heart} in the ability to love\index{love} those entities, those experiences, and those qualities of yourself that you see reflected to you by all around you, then you are creating a vibration not only in your own heart and your own being, but a vibration which moves outward to those that are in your vicinity, those that are in the direction of your will, of your being, of the nature of who you are. There is a sympathetic vibration then set up so that the love\index{love} that you feel for others is reflected back to you from them, for love speaks to itself, your love and their love is one love. This love\index{love}, then, if you direct it to do so, may provide you with a kind of vibratory shield, shall we say, that allows in only other qualities of love that you may be desirous of experiencing in the form of protection or of healing. For each of you has chosen those experiences within your incarnation, and have chosen them previous to the incarnation in order that you might be able to discover more of the nature of love\index{love} as it exists within your being, and as it can exist as you move further and further into the spiritual journey, into the reunification with the One Creator that you see all about you. The love\index{love} then, that moves out from you as a function of your free will to offer it to others, then sets up this sympathetic vibration that is able to vibrate in this quality of understanding, this quality of wholeness, this quality of healing\index{healing}, so that it moves back to you, and offers to you a sense of well-being, reawakens in you the sense of knowing that all is truly well, that if it does not seem to be so in your perceptions, then there is the necessity for reassessing, perhaps, your own perceptions within the meditative state. If these distortions cause you seeming harm, disease, or lack of the feeling of well-being then there is work that you may do, profitably, in the process of furthering your own evolution as you come more and more into harmony with the basic quality of love\index{love} that exists everywhere, my friends, most especially within each heart\index{heart} that seeks it. We would begin our communication through this instrument by thanking all here present, as well as this instrument, for the love\index{love} expressed in the intent that caused each to arrive at this place of seeking, for in this convergence, we feel a love reaching out into the heavens, and this gives us a kind of carrier wave into your dimension\index{dimension} that we may perform that service which it is our lot to be able to give for your peoples. This love\index{love}, we would say, is a transdimensional kind of energy that is able to cross barriers or thresholds, shall we say, of light that otherwise maintain an existence which is discrete so that experiences may unfold within separate domains without being encumbered or overridden by experiences which, if they were taken on, would be a source of great confusion\index{confusion} to those who are attempting to find their way. It is an unusual or extraordinary circumstance to engage in communications of this nature which cross dimensions, and we would suggest to you that the possibility of this kind of contact is one which is supplied by love\index{love} itself. When you reflect on the nature of love\index{love}, then, you may say that it is an energy of a high nature which precedes those distinctions which make individual experiences possible. And in this regard you may say that love\index{love} is a concept which has more than one meaning. In that experience which you enjoy\index{enjoy}, love\index{love} can be seen as an activity which engages you and in which you engage. You love\index{love} another, you feel loved by another, and in this kind of mutual engagement you are able to participate in a dance which enables you to discover moment by moment, day by day, year by year, incarnation by incarnation, that you are more and more fully that which you love, more and more fully that which loves you. Now, the kind of love\index{love} which is expressed and experienced by those who are individuated–those who are enjoying lifetimes in dimensions which have been ordered, as you say, by time and space–are those who participate in a kind of being which has its roots prior to time and space having arisen in the first place. It is for that very reason that love\index{love} itself can be seen as a sort of transport from one domain or dimension\index{dimension} to another, and it can also be seen as that characteristic which most clearly and most deeply defines the one original thought within the one original Creator. The creation is a continuous event placed within love\index{love}, such that love goes out from itself with the express intent of returning to itself. But as this process has been reiterated time upon time upon time upon time, there has been created a system of illusions by means of which it has been possible for these scintillas of love\index{love} gone out from the source to articulate themselves, to refine their balances inwardly so that the intelligence of the original love they bring back to that source may be more eloquent, may be more refined, and in that sense may be more informative. As it happens, the very structures, according to which the individual source points of love\index{love} may be further and further articulated, also give the possibility that each of these source points, each of these little Logoi such as you are, shall discover themselves to be without love, to be abandoned as entities floating on a vast sea surrounded on all sides by strangeness. And when each of these lost scintilla of love/light begin to find within themselves those resources which enable them to make a beginning of a journey back to the Creator, they can learn\index{learn} to give the name “love\index{love}” to that energy which fuels them along the way, starting from this beginning and looking toward the end. Now, as a matter of fact, love\index{love} is of such a nature that it can find itself directed in many different ways, and can find itself caught up in many different configurations, and can find itself frustrated because in the very many-ness of its directions, it can discover confusion\index{confusion}; it can lose its way; it can feel that it has no way home. And in this extremity, love–and searching within for the end for that resource which can be its only healing\index{healing}, which can be its only sense of direction–can feel like, for the first time, it is sounding out depths in the nature of love\index{love} that have lain long concealed, that have, in fact, in a way, never yet been revealed. And it is true, my friends, that each here has a secret love\index{love} that is unique to it alone, and a secret love, shall we say, that the Creator, the one original source of all love, longs to have returned to itself as revealed. For there is a sense, grounded in the nature of love\index{love} itself, in which all time is always all together. That points to a quality of love\index{love} which is rather difficult to grasp, particularly for one whose experience is measured out moment by moment, particularly for one who carries a sense of past time as memory and dwells in relation to future time as anticipation, and situates the self between past and future in such a way as to suggest that time itself is a fleeting phenomenon, an ever-moving phenomenon. Movement is an expression of energy that itself takes on structure, and these structures have proven to be rather useful in giving context for those intrepid souls who venture forth into the Creation, having lost the sense of where they came from, having willingly yielded the primary sense of connectedness to all that is, so that the particular features of being an individual center of love\index{love} could be more distinctly explored, could be more distinctly refined, could be more distinctly related to other points of distinct loving. The first effect of forgetting is the loss of the sense of who you are as a being connected in love\index{love} to the whole. And it is for that reason that, for you, the experience of love\index{love} itself generally involves an overcoming of a feeling of being unloved, and it often involves a feeling of engaging in activities that are not themselves of a loving nature. You will note that prior to the advent of the veiling–which was itself a possibility that had to be discovered–there were no entities which had undertaken to polarize to the negative; there was no concept of being able to serve exclusively the self, for there was enough of a residual awareness of being connected in the primary energy of love\index{love} that the complete sense of separation was not even felt as a possibility. So to have not only the possibility but the actualization of a way of expressing the Creator’s love\index{love} as love of self exclusively was a piece of news, shall we say, brought to the Creator reflecting on a sense of itself that it had not previously had. Now, it is our understanding that that love\index{love} which confines itself to love of self is a love which is, in fact, self limiting, and which must, at some point in its development, learn\index{learn} to move past that configuration, and in doing so, acquires again, the polarity\index{polarity} of other love primarily. But something in the meantime has been learned, something in the meantime of the nature of the Creation, of the nature of the Creator, of the nature of love\index{love} has been learned, and will be learned more and more as the Creator itself expands in its awareness of what it means to be a source of love capable of differentiating itself into loved and loving, capable of being the one who loves, the one who is loved. And since that capability is grounded in the original creative act of freewill, it gives also the possibility of being the one who is not loved or the one who does not love. In the ultimate sense, love\index{love} has no opposite, and yet when love is conceived as an activity, it does exist in a world of possible opposition. And so, love\index{love}, rediscovering itself as unity, finds that it is through the overcoming of opposition, through the overcoming of displacement, through the overcoming of a sense of being lost, that love finds a depth previously unreachable within its very self. So it can easily seem to be a paradox that love\index{love}, in order to be love, has needed to traverse the realms of the unloving, has needed to lose itself in order to find itself, but we find that this is precisely the nature of the Creation, as best we have been able to understand. What you call your realm of time/space is a realm in which the sense of unity is more prevalent, the sense of being surrounded by love\index{love} is more prevalent, and it is a place where those who have ventured forth into those domains of space/time in which they work in a more focused fashion, may find respite and restoration. There are many in this group\index{group} who are avid gardeners and I was wondering if you could just give us a few words of the metaphysical dynamics behind gardening and sharing love\index{love} and communion with second-density\index{second-density} plants. Indeed the second density\index{second density} is as aware of love\index{love} as is the third density\index{third density} though perhaps able only to express it in certain limited functions and fashions. As you partake in the gardening experience, the tending of the plants, the planting, the weeding, the tilling and the sending of your own love\index{love} to these entities, they are aware upon a very basic level of the nature of love itself, and are able to connect this reception of love with your presence, and are able to then shine forth this love in their production of the flowers, the fruits, and the very quality of their own being that is a beauty of balance and of the second-density\index{second-density} approximation of the One Creator. F love-sentence-body.tex:4508: Or if, perhaps, it is your obligation as a seeker\index{seeker} of truth to bring more harmony into your life, to let your life exemplify those qualities of the truth, the peace\index{peace}, the love\index{love}, and the power of the One Creator. When these patterns move around in the spiral of endlessness that is your incarnation, into and through and beyond the third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion}, you may rest assured, my friends, that you have found a pattern that was put in place previous to the incarnation and that this pattern has within it the opportunity for you to be more than you thought you were; to exhibit those qualities that you were not that sure you had; to find love\index{love} where there seems to be none; to find harmony where there is disharmony; to find healing\index{healing} of wounds that are deep; to make clear the communication which has been stifled and muffled and distorted. The more you are able to discover within even those situations which give difficulty, even those situations which tend\index{tend} to elicit from you a rejection—a feeling of being hurt, a feeling of anger\index{anger}, a feeling of hate—even these we say, can, if allowed to develop into a deeper sense of love\index{love} which one does achieve through acceptance\index{acceptance}, suggest that the catalyst that has been on offer is indeed serving its function well. All of those activities which reflect the inspiration to betterment, the inspiration to expression of love\index{love}, the inspiration to a resolve to heal—all of these are indications of a good and proper use of catalyst. Gary love-sentence-body.tex:4515: (overview] The Confederation\index{confederation} sources stress the importance of seeing the love\index{love} in the moment, any moment. Can you help us by suggesting approaches or strategies for making a positive identification of love\index{love} when it's not readily apparent. You ask how to make the seeking of love\index{love} possible in those situations in which it is not obviously present to the outward eye. This, my friends, is a very good question for each of you and for us to consider, for most of the illusion\index{illusion} which you inhabit does not appear to contain much of that quality which you call love. That part of you which is the one Creator, which resides within all of the creation, has fashioned this illusion\index{illusion} in such a way that the quality of love\index{love}, of total acceptance\index{acceptance} of another, of giving the energies of your being to another freely without expectation of return, are hidden within each portion of this creation in order that in some way, and at some time, those entities such as yourselves that are taking their existence now here, in this illusion, may learn\index{learn} certain lessons related to love by finding it through their own efforts—those efforts which are put forward each day as you go about your daily round of activities. It is most helpful if you are conscious that what you do in this illusion\index{illusion} is indeed the seeking to find love\index{love} and to give love at all times. There is no other activity which has value in your spiritual journey other than this seeking and finding and giving of love. Those activities with which you busy yourself as a part of your profession, your hobbies, your activities, your leisure time—all of these are vehicles through which you move in a certain fashion to discover love\index{love}, whether consciously as a conscious seeker\index{seeker} of truth, or whether in a manner which may seem to be accidental as one which moves in a less conscious fashion through the daily rounds of activities. All have the opportunity to seek and to find love. As we have said before, this creation is made of love. It only seems to be other than love\index{love}, in order to provide you, shall we say, a challenge that allows you to increase your polarity\index{polarity} of positive seeking to serve others by finding the love in those situations in which you find yourself engaged in your daily round of activities. The more difficult it is to find the love\index{love}, the more positively polarized in every situation in which you are able to perceive it. It is well to begin your day, shall we say, in a conscious remembrance that this is your purpose: to seek love\index{love}, to find love, to give love, to be love. We would sum up those words which we have had to offer through the one known as Jim by simply saying that this is a creation of love\index{love}, and that you are within this creation in such a way that love is called forth from you. It's quite simple to pose the question of the purpose of the creation by suggesting that it is from love\index{love} and to love that all originates and is directed. But, there is inevitably a question that will arise upon the minds of those who seek, and it is "Why should there need to be, in a creation of love\index{love}, an effort made to love. Why should there need to be, in a creation of love\index{love}, an experience of impediments to love. Why should there need to be—in a creation in which love\index{love} is Alpha and Omega, source and destiny—an experience so bereft of love that love itself can at times seem to be the most impossible result, the most difficult task that one can be required to do?" And to ask this question is to focus on love as a particular kind of activity in which you can engage. You may engage indeed in many kinds of activities, and it is easy to list love\index{love} upon a long list of things you might accomplish in the course of the day. There is another sense of love\index{love}, however, which we would invite you to consider. We have suggested that, in the nature of the creation itself, love\index{love} may be counted as one of the early distortions that permit differentiated experience, that permit individuated souls to find their way, to have experiences in a diverse creation and to bring back to the Creator the fruits of these experiences. Now, the first distortion in this creation we have called free will, so it may well seem that love\index{love} is a dimension\index{dimension} of the nature of the way things are that comes about as a result of a first innovation, shall we say, in the creation, involving the development of free will. To some extent it is true that love\index{love} follows upon free will as a possible activity of those who embody free will in relation to one another, and one could say, in a larger sense, in relation to the creation as whole. In this sense it would seem then that a proper consideration of the nature of loving would require a fuller consideration of what it means to have free will. Therefore, already in the first act of creating, the distortion towards not being the creator is already at hand, and then we may say, secondly, that the need to return to the creator is also suggested and hence the second distortion, that which we have called Love\index{love}, may be seen as incident to the first distortion we have called free will. To return then to the concept of Love\index{love} as it is separated from the first distortion, called free will, we would say this: we would say that Love comes in a secondary position in relation to free will, only in a rather limited sense, because there is another sense of love which is prior yet to the sense of love we have suggested as the second distortion, and that sense can be used to describe a quality or a feature or a face of the One Creator conceived as completely undistorted, completely unhampered, undifferentiated, unseparated from Itself. This mystery is available for participating in, and to our experience, limited though it may be, love\index{love} is always the most eloquent, the most searching, and the most fulfilling way of participating in the one central mystery which is the Creator Itself. The making available of that magical moment goes by the simple name of love. And so when you are able to love\index{love} your neighbor, when you are able to love yourself, when you are able to love the entirety of the creation with all of the shortcomings that you may perceive in it, with all of the difficult people that you may know, with all of the flaws which you may be able easily to see within your own self, then you have the greatest gift to give the Creator that the Creator ever could want. The Creator then becomes known to the Creator, just as when you love\index{love} someone, that someone becomes known to you in a deeper way than they ever could be if the carrier wave of that relationship\index{relationship} was anything else but love. Now, in truth of course, there is really nothing else but love\index{love} that could be the carrier wave, and yet we may talk about love in diminished capacity, and we may talk about love in more fulsome capacity. Now, one could easily suppose that were it the case that in one bright, shining day, all were able to return fulsome love\index{love} back to the Creator, that the Creator would stand fully exposed to itself, and would know itself finally in Its completeness. And that inexhaustibility is something which you may sense in a small way in your experiences of love\index{love} for your fellow creatures. For when you love\index{love} your beloved, when you love your wife, when you love your husband, when you love your children\index{children}, when you love your friends, when you love your groups, when you love your planet, you do so in such a way that it does not diminish that which is love. In fact, strangely, it seems to augment that which is love\index{love}, and once again we face a paradox or a mystery, because a mystery which is so infinite\index{infinite} and so completely mysterious, which seemed to be something that could not become more itself, that is to say, more mysterious, by being loved, and yet, it seems to us that this is exactly what happens. For this circumstance, we can find no better\index{better} word than mystery, and for the most successful attitude in relation to this circumstance, we can find no better word than love. For it is in any that you do love\index{love}, the simple mystery of their being that calls that love forth from you. And when you do love\index{love}, you bring out that in your own being, which is itself of the element of love. Having done so, do you not find it easier to be that love\index{love} which we are now telling you that you are. And when you do, do you not find it easier when it comes time for you to engage in an activity to allow a little bit of that activity to include the love\index{love} that you have for yourself to love yourself. To love\index{love} the others around you that are able to elicit that love from you—that is as great a gift as you will ever be given. To love\index{love} those that seem to you to be unlovable is strangely enough an even greater gift, for when you are able to find in yourself that resonance of love that can reach out to that which does not solicit it, but rather seems on the contrary to reject it, you have inched, however slightly, towards a wholeness of your whole being, towards a realization of your own being as unified, and every such experience of loving the unlovable, every such experience of unifying the un-unified is an experience of the Creator finding Its lost love returning home, returning to its source. And so love\index{love} heals many a wound, love bridges many a division. Love\index{love} offers itself both as a possible activity and as a condition of being which is the very stuff, the very source, the very destiny of the entire Creation. (Jim channeling) love-sentence-body.tex:4525: You seek to relate yourself to the other selves around you, those whom you have learned to love\index{love}, those perhaps whom you have learned to fear\index{fear}, to like, to dislike, to avoid, to be attracted to—all of these options of dealing with other selves are indeed a portion of the seeking process. We would illustrate this point by suggesting that you consider how you relate to those people you consider to be friends, those people that you consider to be a part of a larger group\index{group} to which you also belong\index{belong}, with connections, with ties, that are of the stuff of love\index{love} itself. Those that you love\index{love}, if they sorrow\index{sorrow}, do you not sorrow with them. Those that you love\index{love}, if they rejoice\index{rejoice}, do you not rejoice with them. You are our beloved others which we experience as other than ourselves and yet also as having a selfness, an anchor into the beingness of the Creation itself, that we, ourselves, share. Your particular planet is one which is heavily populated by many entities who are finding the need to repeat this density so that their choices\index{choices} of love\index{love} and service to others\index{service to others} may finally be made. His experiences throughout various of his previous incarnations in the mountains of Peru, gave him the opportunity to see how the various qualities of the illusion\index{illusion} are so easily accepted\index{accepted} by the masses of the population so that there would be a great release of bound-up energy of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, shall we say, if one could indeed balance the darkness with the light, the sadness with the joy\index{joy}, the despair\index{despair} with hope\index{hope}, the injury with healing\index{healing}, and so forth. Thus, many experiences within this entity’s incarnational history gave it the inspiration to compose this poem that is such a succinct description of the possibility of forgiveness within this illusion—forgiveness for each heart\index{heart} that seems to have strayed from love\index{love}, forgiveness of the self that has followed such straying, and forgiveness of all who have harmed any other self. We have so enjoyed experiencing the love\index{love} of your open hearts, the light that it creates, and the camaraderie among you as you relate each to the other. love-sentence-body.tex:4529: You have created an harmonious group\index{group} full of love\index{love}, of light, of seeking further truths. This desire\index{desire} to bless, to love\index{love}, and to serve Mother\index{mother} Earth\index{earth} and those fellow entities upon it, then must pass through what you call the “veil of forgetting,” in order that there may be a pure opportunity for making the preincarnative choices\index{choices}, possibilities, realities, blessings, offerings of love in the most basic sense of the nurturing of the life force\index{force} of the planet, of the life force which moves through each entity, of attempting to see the Creator within each other entity, in attempting to relate to each as if you and the other were one. This is not an easy lesson, my friends, as obvious as it is before incarnation, as you pass through the veil of forgetting, indeed there is a forgetting of the basic truths of all of the Creation, that you are all part of the One Creator, that the Creation in which you move and live and have your being is made by the power of love\index{love}, and is formed of that which you call light, the photon vibrating at various levels and angles of vibration. Most of the time there is the concept of love\index{love} contained, of making well that which has been broken, of healing\index{healing} that which has become sickened or diseased or distorted in some way because of a difficulty in relating with harmony to all, including the self, and as you pursue these dim recollections to flesh them out, shall we say, to give them color and life and vividness, you share with those about you in what you would call a teaching fashion so that you are able to work together to piece together the puzzle that is the primary aim of the incarnation for all entities, the great puzzle of existence, the great puzzle of being, the great puzzle of progression into unity with all, into unity with the One Creator. By your seeking, by your sowing the seeds of that which you have found within your own life experience and shared with you and by you with other seekers of truth, you provide the opportunity for there to be a revealing of that which has been hidden, a purpose for all entities upon the planet to lend their services to the planet, to plant\index{plant} their own love\index{love} as a seed\index{seed} in each portion of the planet with which they come in contact. If your desire\index{desire} and your intention is to be of service to others\index{service to others}, to aid Mother\index{mother} Earth\index{earth} in her birthing of that fourth-density\index{fourth-density} being which is you and many, many others at a future time, as you would call it, then you may see the opportunity to share love\index{love} in any amount, in any form, with any entity, at any time, for indeed, each moment contains love. Part of the great riddle of your existence is to find love\index{love} in all moments. If it seems to you that there is no love\index{love} in any moment that you experience, perhaps it is your opportunity then to offer your love to that moment. We do not ask you become evangelists or proselytizers; we ask you to simply radiate that which is the heart\index{heart} of your being, for in each heart there beats the rhythm of love\index{love}, the revelation of light, the truth of unity, the Father\index{father} there rests within. Seek the Creator within yourself and all other selves in whatever form that has meaning to you, whether it be love\index{love}, whether it be service, whether it be light, whether it be potential realized, whether it be hopes yet unrealized, whether it be the dreams of a more harmonious experience upon the planet. If you go forth with the light of love\index{love} within your heart\index{heart} and seek to share as best you can that which is yours to share, then you have done what you can. Go forward to see the Creator in all; to love\index{love} the Creator in all; to be a person with a large enough mind and an open enough heart\index{heart} to include all within your prayers. This grid of energy about your planet is a network of portals that allows the passing through of energies from what you would call your sun body, the sub-Logos, the intelligent energy of this entity of love. It moves through each portal and is, shall we say, accelerated or enhanced, especially at this time of the transition into the fourth density\index{fourth density}, so that those who are open to the concept of love\index{love} and understanding, the primary qualities of the fourth density, may then share those qualities with those about them, especially in the meditative state or the contemplative state using visualization or however you choose to do it. You may see the energy from the Logos, the sub-Logos, your Sun Body, moving through these grids of crisscrossing lines of power and entering the planetary web or surface and becoming available to those who are in need of love\index{love}, who have a dearth of that quality within their being, who call out for assistance in confusion\index{confusion}, in pain\index{pain}, in difficulty. You may see these portals enhancing the love\index{love} available to all such entities, and then, in another fashion, these portals are also available for those who are now moving through that transition which you call the dying or the moving into the larger life. It is the ability to welcome and enjoy\index{enjoy} this enhanced level of light and love\index{love} coming through the portals that will determine each entity who moves into larger life as to where the entity is placed by its own ability to welcome and enjoy the enhanced love and light. Any time there is a disharmony in any group\index{group} or individual that has the lack of love\index{love}, the lack of understanding, the lack of acceptance\index{acceptance} of such an entity, it produces a pain\index{pain} of a mental nature, a spiritual nature, an emotional nature, a physical nature. Because you have invited us, we are able to have a beingness among you and to enjoy\index{enjoy} your loving and light-filled vibrations. love-sentence-body.tex:4546: We are always happy\index{happy} to join you, happy once again to be with this doughty circle\index{circle} of seekers, for always do you bring with you love\index{love} and light which amazes us, as you live within the darkness of an illusion\index{illusion} in which there seems to be so little of these qualities. Where you were before you came here it is obvious that all is one, that the Creator exists in all things, in each entity, that love\index{love} is the power that made the Creation, and that the Creation is made of light. You wish\index{wish}, in many cases, to improve your appreciation of compassion\index{compassion}, of love\index{love}, of understanding. May we say first of all you do not program more love\index{love}, more compassion—you program the opposite, my friends, you program the lack of compassion\index{compassion}, the lack of love, the lack of understanding, the lack of sympathy\index{sympathy}, for by so doing, you set into motion within your own soul’s being the desire\index{desire} to solve these riddles; anger\index{anger} being one of the great riddles of your illusion\index{illusion}; anger\index{anger} being that which is not possible in the higher densities, for only unity, joy\index{joy}, peace\index{peace} and understanding are possible there. But here, in your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion}, it is possible to experience anger\index{anger}, for it is possible to see one as separate from another self and to feel an emotion that is not love\index{love} for another self, or perhaps even for the self, for your anger\index{anger} may be pointed in any direction. For the conscious entity who is aware of the process of seeking within the third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion}, if there is the desire\index{desire} to achieve more love\index{love}, more compassion\index{compassion}, (then] the lack of that love and compassion—in the form of anger\index{anger}, or non-acceptance of other selves, or irritation, or impatience, whatever form your anger\index{anger} may take—is pointed toward yourself. Perhaps you could make a case, “Well, so-and-so behaved in such-and-such a fashion, and wouldn’t you get angry\index{angry} too?” Such a response might be “Well, I would get angry too if I were attempting to learn\index{learn} the lessons of compassion\index{compassion}.” love-sentence-body.tex:4547:For if you look with the eye\index{eye} of compassion, true heartfelt\index{heartfelt} love\index{love}, upon any situation and remove yourself from it, look from a distance, you may see, if you see clearly, the Creator experiencing itself through you. So as you look from a distance and see the Creator experiencing itself, for the moment that you are no longer attached to that image and that experience, you feel love\index{love}, you feel compassion\index{compassion}, you feel understanding, you feel acceptance\index{acceptance}, and then you move again, placing yourself in the role in which the anger\index{anger} has been experienced, and you lose that distant perspective, you lose the knowledge\index{knowledge} of the Creator experiencing itself, and this is not a bad thing, my friends—this is why you came here, this is what this illusion\index{illusion} offers you. We recommend that which those known to you as Ra\index{ra} suggest as a balancing exercise, for in this exercise you take the anger\index{anger} that has disbursed itself about you and colored your emotions with its very being, and you use it in a fashion which can result in the diminishing of the anger\index{anger} and in the increasing of love\index{love} for yourself and for all the Creation about you. And then, at the height of its power, for just an instant, image its opposite, that is, the love\index{love} that you wish\index{wish} to develop in this incarnation. As you image that love\index{love}, rest back and observe it growing within your consciousness, larger and larger, within the inward mental picture, until it equals the ferocity of the anger\index{anger} that you have just created. This is not a quick or easy program, my friends, but if there is no balancing to your distortions, if there is no balancing to your anger\index{anger} in this instance, it shall continue for the rest of your incarnation, and the learning of love\index{love} will come very, very slowly. If you wish\index{wish} to accelerate the learning and the gathering of love\index{love} within your being, then use the balancing exercises to do that very thing, for these exercises are that which allow your lower energy centers most especially, and occasionally the higher energy centers, to function more effectively, to allow the intelligent energy or the light, the prana of the One Creator from your Sun body, your Logos, to enter through your feet and lower chakras and to move without hindrance through the entire system of chakras or energy centers. Eventually, it is the goal of each seeker\index{seeker} to cause this energy to move through the red\index{red} of the survival and sexual\index{sexual} impulses, the orange\index{orange} of the emotional nature and one-to-one relationships, the yellow\index{yellow} of the group\index{group} involvement of the self, to the green\index{green} of universal energy of love\index{love} freely given, to the blue\index{blue} of free communication and inspiration, and to the indigo\index{indigo} ray wherein there lies the One Creator, and the intelligent energy of that One Creator, and may be discovered by the seeker who is able to remove the blockages from the lower energy centers through the process of your balancing. The ability to love\index{love} and serve others about one, more than one loves and serves the self, for this is the positive path of which we speak, and we are well aware that each within this circle\index{circle} of seeking is a positively oriented entity seeking to move the energies higher and higher in the positive sense. You may not be able to see the love\index{love} and the light that you create when you come together, for your eyes may not yet have opened to it, but we see this love and light. love-sentence-body.tex:4563: There is, shall we say, a kind of reckoning that is being devised by those of the, shall we say, more compassionate nature, in which there shall be a rising of the ability to give in the nurturing, all-compassionate love\index{love} that has been allowed by the male to the female sex\index{sex} upon your planet. This rising of the love\index{love} quotient, shall we call it, shall occur not only in the female gender, but also within the male genders of those males who have developed a greater appreciation for a wider point of view. We reach to you with this message of love\index{love} and of light, as indeed, you have called us to reach to you with our message. And then secondly, they must be loved as that which has been thrust out, and as that which properly belongs in the center. Indeed, it can be a benefit to those who seek to serve primarily themselves to maintain this unintegrated state, to maintain the differentiation between male and female such that rather than coming together in the embrace of love\index{love}, the two principles vie interminably with each other, and in such a way that it can be seen to be the desire\index{desire} of each for each, which is the very medium of that perpetual contest. This acceptance\index{acceptance} must begin precisely where it currently finds itself, and that is, you first of all must accept that there is an imbalance, and you must allow that imbalance its sway long enough to begin to love\index{love} that energy which has felt itself to be pushed out from its center. The third density\index{third density} has, as its sole purpose, the development of that quality which you may call “unconditional love\index{unconditional love}.” This is the quality which is associated with the green-ray energy center, that being the heart-ray energy center. In order to be able to move into this energy center, it is necessary that an entity be able to look upon the world about it and see that which draws forth from it this quality of love\index{love}, for there is nothing in the creation that has any nature that does not deserve love. Even those most seemingly despicable, questionable, and evil-seeming entities are the Creator in another guise, which also deserves love. To be able to utilize the catalyst of the daily round of activities in a useful manner, one must look to the meditative state and see where there is the lack of love\index{love} that needs the balance of love, the lack of wisdom\index{wisdom} that needs the balance both of wisdom and of love, for each day you are presented with catalyst that is covered in a certain fashion, to give you the opportunity to love. Those within one’s family are usually, not always, but usually easier to love\index{love} than those who are not within one’s own immediate family. Those who seem to be of like mind, religion\index{religion}, culture, or color of skin, are also seemingly easier to love\index{love} than those who are of a different origin, culture, religion, or color of skin. However, all provide catalyst to the seeker\index{seeker} to love. It is one that is learned over many lifetimes, perhaps (even from] previous third- density experiences which have not yielded the proper polarity\index{polarity} and ability to see all as the Creator and as the other self, and therefore, to love\index{love} all others as such. Thus, it is a long road for some, or, indeed, most upon your planet, and yet for those who are able to make this journey within their own hearts, the qualities of loving others unconditionally are unmistakable in their appearance and in their effect, not only upon the seeker\index{seeker} of truth itself, but on those with whom this seeker touches in its daily round of activities. Thus, there are many, shall we say, seeds of love\index{love} floating about within every country and section of this planet that will be able to show, by example, the qualities of love that are indicative of the open heart. Therefore, it is hoped that as yeast allows the bread to rise, that the yeast of these loving hearts will have their effect upon the bread of humanity, will cause humanity to rise to a greater level, to be able to include each entity within all experience in the heart. This is what is necessary for any entity to be graduated into the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding. And it is well to remember this possibility as one moves through one’s daily rounds of activities, for if the heart\index{heart} is able to be opened in a larger and larger sense among the populations of this planet, then many of the problems of this troubled earth\index{earth} can begin to be solved by compassion\index{compassion}, by giving and receiving that known as love. Cannot the entity who has opened its heart\index{heart} in love\index{love} see this truth. Austin love-sentence-body.tex:4568: Before this incarnation, you, as a seeking aspirant of unity, of love\index{love} and of light, set before yourself the possibility of learning those lessons that are most important to you in your ability to be of service to others\index{service to others}, to polarize in a positive sense toward your seeking of the One Creator, and to be able to express the unity of all the creation that lives within you and without you. For indeed, within your third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion}, there is love\index{love} in every moment, in every event, in every entity, and it is your task, your challenge, your joy\index{joy} to find that love there. But the open heart\index{heart} is a most elusive phenomenon, because you can set out to express hope\index{hope}, joy\index{joy}, and love\index{love}, and yet find that the very qualities which you have consciously embraced and have sought to bring to expression are received in a way that either rejects these qualities, or rejects your particular expression of them. In the case of the other with whom you have essentially a loving relationship\index{relationship}, this process can prove to be very helpful for both parties. The doughty seeker\index{seeker}, however, will, having been thrown off, take this not as a rejection, not as something to be fought, not as something to be destroyed, but as a gift, as an offer of an opportunity to reach to a level and dimension\index{dimension} of acceptance\index{acceptance}, reach to a level and dimension of positivity, reach to a level and dimension of love\index{love} not yet discovered within yourself. When this discovery has been made, and when the fruits of this discovery have been through the slow work of meditation\index{meditation}, of outreach, and of simple loving seated in the depths of your being, you will then find that you have to offer a deeper and greater gift to a very, very hungry\index{hungry} world. It is sent because the positively-oriented entity feels true love\index{love} and light for this other self that is the Creator, that has traveled another path from the positive entity’s own choice. Further, the positively oriented entity shall send this love\index{love} and light to itself, as a wall of light about itself, spiraling in clockwise fashion, as the upward spiraling line of light of all Creation does. To complete the process, the positively oriented entity will send this love\index{love} and light to the Creator which exists in all things everywhere at all times. Those entities who are able, in the meditative state, to hold their mind upon one image for a series of minutes, shall we say, may then use this ability to focus their concentration, to send love\index{love} and light to any place, person, group\index{group} or situation upon the planet’s surface. In this way, there is a, shall we say, providing of a general kind of assistance of an unseen nature that is, however, felt in the mind/body/spirit complex of those entities receiving such sendings of love\index{love} and light. There are also entities in the Confederation\index{confederation} of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator who do nothing but send this love\index{love} and light to this planet as well as to many others. Sending such love\index{love} and light to those areas within the universe that are experiencing difficulties and are unable to resolve these difficulties with their own efforts and need the support of those who recall their own experiences at the same level of evolution, and reach their hands in a manner of giving that love and light to those who need it. This dedication of service of love\index{love} and of light and of power to the One Creator calls upon energies within each entity so engaging in the sexual\index{sexual} energy transfer, such that these energies are called for in a fashion which magnifies that which could be seen as the abstractly practical or measurable energies, multiplies them in a fashion which increases their vibrancy, their brilliance, and their power, so that there is a multiplier effect. love-sentence-body.tex:4592: This is the means by which fourth-density\index{fourth-density} entities are able to transmit concepts of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance}, of understanding and forgiveness, to entities within the third density. We are inspired by your dedication, your love\index{love}, and your light. love-sentence-body.tex:4600: Indeed, my friends, every moment of your life contains love. It is your opportunity, and indeed, responsibility as seekers of truth to find that love\index{love} in the moment, especially in those moments in which there seems to be so little love—in moments of disharmony, in moments of confusion\index{confusion}, in moments of pain\index{pain} and suffering, in moments that seem to have so little to do with the spiritual path. And yet, my friends, depending upon how you view such moments, each contains a great revelation for you: an opportunity for you to take that which is dark and make it light, to take that which is anger\index{anger} and make it acceptance\index{acceptance}, to take that which is confusion\index{confusion}, and make it a sure path to the heart\index{heart} of love\index{love} that resides in each soul on this planet, and indeed upon all planets in the infinite\index{infinite} creation. So, we would suggest to you that you look through the eyes, or shall we say, the lens, of love\index{love} as a regular means by which you perceive that experience that you find yourself in from moment to moment. If you can remain conscious of those values and standards and principles by which you are guided in the most sacred\index{sacred} moments of your spiritual journey, and take them with you into the mundane world, where those about you may not have any inkling or idea of how one might be inspired by love\index{love}, (then you] might be desirous of sharing it with others through something as simple as a smile\index{smile}, through something as simple as speaking a hello, of looking for opportunities to give that which you have in abundance: your love, your understanding, your compassion\index{compassion}, your desire\index{desire} to be of service wherever possible. Each day’s round of activities will provide to you the means by which you can use the transforming energies of the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding that are now available to everyone upon the planet, and use them to give love to another. And when you give love\index{love} to another, you give it also to yourself—for are you not that other as well. The third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} in which you find yourselves moving now is the only place within the universe in which there is a forgetting that all is one, that all is created by the power of love\index{love} forming light. This illusion\index{illusion} gives you the opportunity to refind and rediscover these basic truths of all of the creation, for if it were immediately obvious to you that all is one, that love\index{love} is the great power of the universe, that all is made of light, what value would it be in your total beingness to have discovered that which is obvious. However, there is great value in your total beingness when you can find that love\index{love}, that light, and that unity, in every situation about you. Now, there are also ways in which you may enhance this realization of love\index{love} and light and unity about you. In your meditations, whether at the beginning, the middle, or the end of the day, you may look upon the experience, and see what about it might have momentarily knocked you off your center of love. Was there some misperception upon your part that caused you for a short while to be unable to perceive the love\index{love} that stood before you, the other self that stood before you, the Creator that stood before you. For each of you has a lesson, or a variety of lessons that is, you might call, the key of your incarnation—a certain way of perceiving the catalyst, or the experiences, that come to you, so that there might be a momentarily baffling of your ability to perceive the truth of love\index{love}, of unity, and of light. If you had a problem with love\index{love}, or being unable to feel love, then see that love growing. See the lack of love\index{love} that you experienced, in its outrageous form, balanced by the love that grows and grows to equal that lack of love in the situation in which you seek now to balance. Then, as you feel both the lack of love\index{love}, and the love before you in equal proportions, accept yourself as the doughty seeker\index{seeker} of truth, the hearty soul traveling a long and dusty road, and accept yourself for having both of these experiences contained within you, as means by which the One Creator might come to know itself better. And within your meditation\index{meditation} you might also conclude such a meditation with the feelings of gratitude\index{gratitude} that are a natural outgrowth of the full realization, or even the partial realization, that you have, within you, the ability to learn\index{learn}, to grow, to serve, to love\index{love}, to become one with the Creator in each entity that you seek, in each entity that you exchange your experiences with. This sense of gratitude\index{gratitude}, combined with the ability to balance all momentary fluctuations away from perceiving the love\index{love} about you, are helpful tools—indeed, the rod and the staff upon your journey to the valley of the shadow\index{shadow} of death\index{death}, as it would seem; where, within this illusion\index{illusion}, there is much that partakes of what seems to be negative experience, of anti-life behaviors, of ignorance of how to promote the welfare of entities about you, of the planet itself having suffered thousands of years of degradation due to the bellicose actions of many different cultures, and peoples, and times. We encourage each of you, as seekers of truth, and servants of the One Creator, to open your hearts as fully as you can, and share that love\index{love} therein so that it might find its resonance in the love that does exist in each heart\index{heart} that you shall face, whether the entity that you shall face is aware of that love or not. By sharing your love\index{love}, you cause a resonant vibration to be set up between you and all others that you come in contact with, so that this love vibration is enhanced in all entities that are open to the possibilities of change. For change is that which is your daily experience, though the change, over a period of time, is simply the movement from one level of vibration of love\index{love} to another. Each of you travels this long and dusty road, bringing with you the love\index{love} that the Creator has given to all the children\index{children} of the one creation. This solar system is governed, shall we say, by a sub-Logos, a creative entity of love\index{love} that you would see as your sun body. The subconscious mind of each has been programmed by the soul to look with a certain bias upon catalyst that comes in the notice of the seeker\index{seeker}, so that at some point the heart\index{heart} chakra might be opened enough to experience a sense of loving those about one, of loving the self, of loving the universe about one. This type of transformation is possible when one is able to be alert and aware of the pre-incarnative lessons so that when catalyst comes one’s way, it can be seen in a certain fashion, so that no two entities would look at the same catalyst in the same way, since all are unique, and all have programmed certain lessons that are indeed unique, though they may include the lesson of love\index{love} in some facet or fashion for each entity. Thus, it is our hope\index{hope} that as the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} vibrations continue to engulf the planet, that those entities who have not yet been able to find a conscious realization of their purpose in this life pattern might be able to open the door to their own hearts, so that there is the ability to experience the love\index{love} therein, and to share it with those about one. It seems animals don’t have any trouble\index{trouble} loving and bonding with other species, given the right circumstances. However, the vibrations of love\index{love} are such that they speak to the love in each other portion of the creation within the third density. There is that, what we have mentioned before, as harmonic\index{harmonic} vibration set up between those forms of life that you call second-density\index{second-density} animals, and indeed, even the plants as well, and indeed the rocks and soil, and so forth, all have this quality of love\index{love} within them, and this quality of love is beginning to vibrate upon all levels of the third, as well as the second, and first densities. However, the entire creation, we assure you, is alive, and is able to respond to the vibrations of love\index{love} which are now so easily observable moving about the planet and within the heart\index{heart} of each entity upon planet Earth. Your light is most impressive as it reaches into the heavens, as a beacon calling\index{calling} unto all light beings around, to observe the love\index{love} and light created here. love-sentence-body.tex:4608: It is that which has been created by the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator delegating, shall we say, the love\index{love} that is so much a part of the One Creator to those entities that you call suns or stars, Logoi which reflect the love of the Creator in their activity of furthering the creation in which it holds true that all is well. Now, the adventure of the creation involves a double movement, shall we say, a movement outward into the vulnerability of individuation, and a movement inward, into the invulnerability of unity, which we might also call love. The vulnerability, therefore, we might call “unlove,” or the feeling of the loss of love. Now, love\index{love}, itself—to the extent that it prevails, to the extent that it embraces the creature, to the extent that it constitutes a kind of energy so encapsulating the creature that the creature knows no other reality and it feels no separation—such a love as this, can, from a certain point of view, be seen as confining. The vulnerability that is felt by a positively-oriented entity is that vulnerability which has been pre-incarnatively recognized, shall we say, for your third density\index{third density} is one which, as we mentioned, is pursued on the other side of the veil of forgetting, and yet, each soul which enters third density is aware that it will forget the perfection of the creation, the love\index{love} in every moment, and the light which forms each portion of the creation. I think some people on the positive path find it easier to forgive things done to themselves versus things done to other people, and there are some things that just seem unforgivable, and understanding that this is a process of evolution, and growing love\index{love} to more and more acceptance\index{acceptance}, do you have any advice on what to do if we find something unforgivable, and we just can’t seem to break through and offer love to something that seems so abhorrent to us. love-sentence-body.tex:4635: There may be features of certain relationships—of parent to child, of sibling to sibling, of friend to neighbor, and so forth—where it is the desirable nature of the relationship\index{relationship} to express it freely and openly, and yet for some reason, which is perhaps not apparent or visible to the seeker\index{seeker} of truth, this relationship has developed certain blockages, or diversions of freely expressed energy, thus making clear communication difficult and open-hearted love\index{love} non-existent. These lower three energy centers are critical for each seeker\index{seeker} of truth to clear so that the energy of the One Creator may move freely through them and begin to open the heart\index{heart} center of universal love\index{love} and understanding. When this is done, then there is the opportunity for the entity to move from the third density\index{third density} to the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding. At some point, each seeker\index{seeker} of truth must realize that this shadow\index{shadow} side is a good friend, and has much to teach, for it is holding in reserve those areas of blockage which, when dealt with clearly, release the energy that is held in place by the blockage, that it might move upward along the line of energy centers, and release a certain kind of experiential energy at each level, for you all have planned, previous to this life experience, those lessons which are necessary for you, in your own estimation, to complete in order to become the whole human being that you desire\index{desire} to be, that being which sees all as love\index{love}, gives and receives freely with each, the quality of universal love and acceptance. The effort that you make to uncover those hidden areas within you that can offer you learning to achieve this goal, is what is called the process of the polarization of your consciousness, for as those who are devoted to seeking and serving other selves, this positive polarization becomes the means by which you might open the heart\index{heart} energy center and release the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} that abides therein. Embrace it with open-hearted love. Then, simply accept yourself and love\index{love} yourself for having both of these qualities within your being as means to teach you love. Each seeker\index{seeker} of truth must realize that it is a being of completeness, that its mind contains all things, and as you discover more and more qualities appearing in your daily round of activities that knock you off your center of love\index{love} and understanding, then it is necessary to balance each quality with its opposite—the good as well as the bad, shall we say, for the wheel of karma\index{karma} moves through good and bad. Once you are able to balance these qualities, then you are off the wheel of duality\index{duality}, the wheel of karma\index{karma}, and may move forward unimpeded in your expression of the love\index{love} and the light of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator. We are, of course, not always able to join many of those upon your planet who do seek truth, but we can observe, from what you would call a distance, that there is a growing number of those conscious seekers of truth that move into realms of expression of love\index{love} and light that are equal to those we find here. love-sentence-body.tex:4639: (overview] From love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} to control and manipulation, there is a spectrum of response to catalyst. What would relationship\index{relationship} of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} toward our planet look like, and how might we more effectively manifest that. Thus, the two paths that have been described in your query this afternoon—that of giving and revealing the love\index{love} and light of the Creator to all, and that of controlling and refusing to become part of the oneness of all—are the boundaries, shall we say, within which action occurs upon your planetary surface. Thus, we would recommend that within your own daily round of activities you take time, perhaps at the beginning, or the end, or both, of the day, to center yourself in a mindful manner, which reduces the sensory inputs into your brain/mind complex, and returns you again to that quality which we find those of Ra\index{ra} had referred to as the “unfed conscious mind,” the mind of the beginner, the mind which has only consciousness as a resource, the mind which can calm\index{calm} the jangled nerves, and can allow the confusion\index{confusion} to dissolve, the mind which can reveal once again, the basic purpose of each seeker\index{seeker} of truth in the positive sense, that is, to reach within the heart\index{heart} and find the love\index{love} residing there, to open that door to that love and bring it forth to share as one’s response to any situation which may confront one. This will take, in some cases, a good deal of consideration, for in a world of confusion\index{confusion}, the expression of love\index{love} is very often lost upon those to whom you send it. Thus, one cannot be dedicated, shall we say, to a certain outcome, but must have begun the exercise of faith that that love\index{love}, which is sent, will reach its destination, and will have its effect upon what you would call “the world condition,” the apparent misdirection and misapprehension of energies by those of the negative nature who seek at this time to use the small amount of time remaining within your third density\index{third density} to polarize sufficiently for their own graduation. So, our recommendation is meditation\index{meditation}, centering, mindfulness, and love. Thus, you are, shall we say, closing up shop so that there may be a graduation into the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding at the end of this incarnation. However, such mysteries and such confusions draw you forward into that which is awaiting for you within each mystery and confusion\index{confusion}, for in truth, all is one, and all teaches unity, love\index{love} and light. love-sentence-body.tex:4647: Many of you are from elsewhere, as it is said, having come to this planet over the previous many thousands of years, others more frequently, and frequently returning again and again to aid this planet in its transition to the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding. Your needs, your desires, your hopes come from some place that typically you know not where, come from some depths that few within your realm of experience have plumbed, but that you may learn\index{learn} to plumb little by little, and one of the best ways to go about doing this, is, indeed, to reflect on how it has come about that you have managed to cross paths with those who stimulate you in just the way they do, and in that stimulus, you find the workings of love\index{love}, we would suggest; although quite frequently the experience of the stimulus, or what we call the catalyst, may, indeed, seem anything but that of love, for you can be challenged, you can find yourself repeatedly pushed off your center. And, thus it happens that you are able to avoid finding these resonances within yourself that lead you into contact and communion with those you are prepared to love. If, for example, the yellow-ray energy center is bright, and the green-ray energy center is somewhat dimmer, yet active, this would suggest that this particular soul or seeker\index{seeker} is working to move from the third ray of group\index{group} consciousness (that is that which denotes the third-density\index{third-density} experience) into the fourth density\index{fourth density} that expands the definition or experience of the group energy into universal energies of love\index{love} that is unconditional and all encompassing. Thus, these choices\index{choices} are more pure in their seeking of love\index{love} to experience and to give unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, for this is the requirement of this particular density in order to allow those who are able to do so to be graduated or harvested into the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love and understanding. Thus, there is a base of this general concept of love\index{love} that each conscious third-density\index{third-density} being stands upon, shall we say, symbolically, and attempts more or less consciously, usually in the unconscious sense, to move forward from. If there can be, for a great number of entities in this state of blockage, a quality of perception or realization that unifies such entities at a more basic level of their very being, then it is possible for a mass population of a planet to be able to be unified in its ability to perceive a worldwide catalyst of a significant nature that can cause blockages to be unbound, and this basic energy of love\index{love} to be released into the conscious mind. It would be hoped that a unified philosophy of love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of others could begin to take root and spread throughout the planetary cultures. However, those types of experiences that can unify consciousness can also come from that which is traumatic—from wars, and death\index{death}, and destruction in a certain location that is of such cataclysmic quality that the entire planet is focused upon it for the length of its experiencing, and the blockages that have kept the green\index{green} ray energy from being released, are, for the moment, released, as your communication systems provide in-depth coverage of that which is the great disaster, whether it be of wars, of environmental geophysical difficulty, or whatever the traumatic nature of the disaster is, for just an instant it would be possible for an entire population, due to your communication systems, to become aware of the dire situation being experienced by a portion of the planetary consciousness, so that sympathetic vibrations of love\index{love}, and understanding, and concern, would be released upon a planetary scale; and for that moment, perhaps, the entire population could grasp the needle of the compass and point it in one direction. They wish\index{wish} to learn\index{learn} the lessons of love\index{love}, but they incarnate and there are blockages and divisions. love-sentence-body.tex:4651: However, you have found that this is but a symbol, and a means by which you may apprehend a larger reality, that which does not lie about you, but within you, and as you seek more and more proficiently, you begin to reflect this inner realization of love\index{love}, of light, and of unity, to those about you. For this illusion\index{illusion} has many such tangles to offer the spiritual seeker—how to insert the self, or if to insert the self, into these tangles and confusions of how, or whether, to love\index{love} this or that person, group\index{group}, or idea. Indeed, it is the case that by the end of the incarnation, you will have lost all, you will not take any of what you have gathered here into that life which beckons beyond this; not any, we say, but what is actually the most important, and that is simply the love\index{love} that you have gleaned, the love that you have learned to give in response. And so you can feel that your need to withdraw is motivated by your sense that there is, in this world, no love\index{love} on offer to you, nothing of the nature of love coming forward to you, and so you withdraw into an inner sanctum where you can, at least, have the privacy to lick your wounds. We use the word “love\index{love},” but that can be misleading if you have a certain set of expectations placed upon what you would feel that normally to be; for it can be registered in ways that, once again, tend\index{tend} to push you off your center, and make you feel disoriented. And even if you are willing to call them the energies of love\index{love}, it is a love which you do not recognize; it is a love which makes you feel lost or disoriented. But within the tangle\index{tangle} and confusion\index{confusion} of loves and dis-loves, and angry\index{angry}, and sorrowful, and grievous energies you experience on a daily basis in third density\index{third density}, the question of what polarity\index{polarity} is what. You wanted, perhaps, to reach out in love\index{love} and succor to those who are hurting, those who have been marginalized, those who have been unjustly done by, and you have found that there is little that you could do on their behalf by yourself and, therefore, have undertaken to make common cause with others of like mind that similarly are oriented to helping the dispossessed. Love\index{love} has turned to anger\index{anger}, to disdain, to hate. How could one not hate\index{hate} that which is unlovable. How could one not hate\index{hate} that which is a block to your expression of love. And even if it is the case—as, my friends, we assure you that the choice is imperfectly made, that it contains elements which are not pure, that it is situated in a context in which a great deal of confusion\index{confusion} still remains—even if these things are in place as we say they will be, the act of choosing to serve others with an open heart\index{heart} makes more difference than you can possibly imagine, for it changes everything upon an instant if you can find love\index{love} in the moment. And finding love\index{love} in the moment puts you in a position of being the fool\index{fool} who loves, for you don’t know where this love will take you. All of these considerations that may constitute what you think of as a stable way to be in a difficult world will be subject to such dislocation that in the end the only thing you have to guide you is your resolve to keep on going in love. And so, let us say you have committed to a mode of service which has put you in relation to others, and you find, at some point, that the circumstances are such that an undertaking begun in love\index{love} has reached a point of vexation where love is hardly recognizable any longer as a sustaining energy, and it has been so overridden with feelings of frustration or anger\index{anger}, that you cannot find a way forward. It is then that a retreat into a position of meditation\index{meditation} is always appropriate, but it is also the case that you can continue in service with those with whom you have made common cause, providing you are prepared to allow the unexpected manifestation of these vagrant loves within your own person, within the relationships you have undertaken, so that these experiences may catalyze you to a more eloquent relation to your loving instincts, to your loving efforts to reach out to supply what a world in desperate need of love\index{love} calls for you to supply. So, to serve in love\index{love} is to first and foremost, love.,And to love is to enter into a world of relations in which you are also asking for something in return: you are asking to be loved. You are asking to be loved even knowing that this may fail to come to pass. You are opening yourself up to the vulnerability that you experience in the failure of love\index{love}, and as one who is committed to the polarity\index{polarity} of serving others rather than the self, you are committed to the primary importance to be attached to the love which you bring forth on offer to the world. You are willing to allow that portion of yourself that wants to be loved to be shown no love\index{love} at all. You have agreed that the want of love\index{love} that you almost certainly will experience in your efforts to serve will be your destiny, and that that would be taken deeply into your being where you may find that, despite all expectations to the contrary, despite all evidence to the contrary, that you do have bubbling up from a deep place within resources precisely able to heal the wound of the unlove which you have taken in. If, for example, you find yourself in interaction with other selves that have found you to be inadequate or of an unsavory nature, and in responding to this judgment held very often aggressively against you, you mirror\index{mirror} back acceptance\index{acceptance}, love. It will not always be the case that you are so situated that you can return love\index{love} for anger\index{anger}, love for hate\index{hate}, love for aggression. Many have come in recent times also from other third-density\index{third-density} planets who have made the graduation there, and are incarnating in what you may call the “doubly-activated bodies” in order to be of service in helping this planet make its transition into the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding. Steve love-sentence-body.tex:4693: The veil of forgetting works quite handily to shield each entity from the true knowledge\index{knowledge} of the universality and unity of all creation, the love\index{love} that forms it from light, and how each is a portion of the One Creator. This is the goal of your incarnation and of this illusion\index{illusion}, to eventually find the path to the heart\index{heart} that connects you both, to the heart that connects you with all things; for it is the heart, the ability to love\index{love} without condition all those about you and all things about you which is the path to the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love and understanding. Thus, it takes a great deal of effort to make that which is unclear, clear; to find love\index{love} where there seems to be none; to find companionship\index{companionship} where there seems to be only argumentation. Indeed, if you are able to utilize the ability to tune into another entity’s heart\index{heart} or being in any fashion whatsoever, this will give you the chance to share in a more deep manner that loving essence that is within your own heart, for as you are more familiar with another entity, then that familiarity can create a path of communication that is clearer than a path that does not have this type of familiarity and awareness of the being of another entity. Indeed, as what you call time moves forward in its progression of beingness, there is within this planetary influence the continuing engulfing of the planet by those vibrations which are significant in heralding the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding. The subconscious perception of such energies is utilized by those entities who have not yet become consciously aware that what they are doing on this planet at this time is to utilize all catalyst for the purpose of opening their own hearts in love\index{love} and service to others. However, for those who are not consciously aware that these energies are available to enhance their own spiritual path, there is oftentimes the difficult of an entity in facing the self as it is, balanced or imbalanced, so that whatever healing\index{healing} might be available through the application of the vibrations of love\index{love} and understanding to the imbalance is perhaps not perceived clearly, and the self then is not also perceived but realizes that there is some effort necessary in order to be able to achieve a more harmonious existence with its fellow beings. Yes, among the energies at play at present, there is one prominent thread catalyzing many people that I’ve crossed paths with, and it seems to do with intimacy, love\index{love}, transparency, openness, vulnerability, and the question about the boundaries of relationships. Indeed, it is a possibility that many entities may become aware of the expanded ability to share love\index{love} and light with each entity around one. However, in many cases, the beginnings of this sharing of love\index{love}, of comradeship, of intimacy, of dedication to similar goals, of seeing the life path as joining in one fashion or another, begins in the realm of the multiplicity of partners in order that the beginnings of the sharing of love and light may be started, shall we say. These are oftentimes the first inklings of the nature of true all-compassionate love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} of the entities about one. However, after the certain portion of your time has elapsed and experience has shown that there are difficulties of communication or problems of perception that persist with the, shall we say, third-density\index{third-density} experience of companionship\index{companionship} that is now attempting to be transmuted to the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} experience of unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, oftentimes there are misperceptions of the ability of an entity to give this unconditional love\index{love}, even unto the point of the romantic experience and expression of love, to more than one entity; for it is inculcated into the third-density experience that the fidelity of one mate to another is to be desired. The fourth-density\index{fourth-density} experience of this loving expression of companionship\index{companionship} and dedication to fidelity is oftentimes made more difficult to express in a manner which is efficient in the polarization of each entity’s consciousness. We are aware that this is a concept that is not absolutely clear within the mind of each entity that pursues the expression of love\index{love} and commitment to more than one entity. Each must discover for itself that which is most efficient for the self to move forward in the opening of the heart\index{heart} and the sharing of the love\index{love} therein. The communication, the ability to express love\index{love}, the far-sightedness that sees new ways of approaching old problems, and the ability to enhance the growth of the vibrations of love wherever seen within the environment, are those means by which individual entities form group\index{group} projects and group expressions of higher consciousness that then produce the fruits of the heart: the cooperative communities, the giving and receiving of love and inspiration from all about one, the ability to accept that which seems unacceptable, to have the feeling of love to be the end result of all interactions with other entities that no interaction is allowed to stop its transformation until the ability to give the love and light of the One Creator is experienced by all within the vicinity of each project or person that is able to shine this love and light from within its own being. love-sentence-body.tex:4727:Q’uo, if we have disharmony within ourselves, or blockage to love\index{love}, or some unintegrated aspect of our being, will the increase of fourth-density\index{fourth-density} energies challenge or exacerbate those conditions. If that’s correct, what does it mean to cooperate with the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} energies of love\index{love} and acceptance. To be able to cooperate, or utilize these enhanced energies that are available to each entity upon your planetary sphere\index{sphere}, one must be able to accept the possibility that the heart\index{heart} can be opened even further than it is opened at present, and be willing to step off the precipice, shall we say, as the Fool\index{fool} in your archetypes moves itself into a position of seeming foolishness, to open to such a degree that one is willing to share love\index{love} with those who may feel very little love for you, who have, in fact, disharmony to such a degree that there is a defense against sharing love with you. However, if you are able, in your own sense of self, to open your heart\index{heart}, your mind, your being, in honesty and in freely given love\index{love} and light, and make oneself vulnerable to further reception of disharmony, yet nevertheless continue forward in that love and light, you may find that there is the opportunity to make well what was harmful, to make whole what was broken, and to fill with love the void that contained none before. The purpose of the incarnation, the destination of each seeker\index{seeker} of truth, (is] to open the heart\index{heart} in unconditional love\index{unconditional love} to all and to aid this process by inviting the One Creator to move within the heart, within the mind, within the body, within the experience of the day, that this aid may be given to the seeker to share with all that comes before its notice. In this way, there is an enhancement of the ability of each seeker\index{seeker} to find a way to give love\index{love} where love seems to have no home. Indeed, each entity has the ability to do this, for each of you have programmed your own incarnational experience to include the ability to enhance your own opening of your heart\index{heart}, sharing of your love\index{love}, revealing of your vulnerability to those about you, realizing that to be the Fool\index{fool} is to be the wise\index{wise} one, for there is no knowledge\index{knowledge} of an intellectual sense, or an emotional reaction that can comprehend the immensity of the power of love to heal that which is broken. love-sentence-body.tex:4733:Know then that when any soul does this, as more and more are doing now upon your planetary surface, this type of seeking and sharing of the love and the light of the One Creator within each individual heart has a resounding and resonating effect that affects every other seeker\index{seeker} on the planet, every other soul on the planet that has any kind of sensitivity to the vibrations of love and acceptance\index{acceptance}, that when you can find any kind of love within your own heart and share it in meditation\index{meditation}, in contemplation, in conscious interaction with others, that love will be felt by every other soul on the planet, for indeed, each entity is a portion of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator, cells in the body of the One who made us all, and when your love is expressed to any other soul, every cells in the body of the One Creator resonates with this love and light, and there is, for at least a moment, a kind of healing\index{healing} of the anger\index{anger}, of the retribution, of the disturbances of doubt\index{doubt} and confusion. You, as one individual seeker\index{seeker} can make a difference in this world as you find love\index{love} within yourself and share it with others, and as more and more entities are able to do this, more and more love is generated so that there is a kind of momentum built up, that is hoped for, at some point to find the, shall we say, threshold of entrance into every soul on the planet, so that at some point it is possible that your planet could, indeed, harmonize in one fine, strong moment of inspiration, as those of Ra\index{ra} put it so well. We encourage each of you to keep the faith, to keep moving forward, keep doing what you’re doing, because you are on the path of seeking the love\index{love} and the light of the One Creator, and as you seek it, you shall find it; as you knock, the door shall be opened to you. Rejoice\index{rejoice} then, that you are a portion of the One Creator, and know then that all others are of the same origination, and shall again at some point, unite in unity, and peace\index{peace} and love\index{love} and understanding. love-sentence-body.tex:4743: Thus, the crystalized healer\index{healer} is as important in the healing\index{healing} process as is the crystal itself, for the crystal is that being of inestimable value and intelligence which can utilize the light that moves through your being as you project that light into the crystal, so that your own love\index{love} and light, or prana, as it moves through your centers of energy, is focused in a specified manner as it moves through the crystal, and therefrom into the various energy centers of the one to be healed which have become blocked by the inefficient or lack of use of catalyst from the daily round of activities for this entity. For the orange-ray energy center, the expression of the prana, or love/light of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator, in a positive sense through this center, would allow the entity activating this energy center to relate to one other entity in a manner which was of acceptance\index{acceptance}, of giving, of that sharing which is personal, emotional, and individual to the two entities engaged in this type of energy exchange. Q’uo love-sentence-body.tex:4765: If the catalyst from these interactions can be successfully processed by each entity so that there is love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} as the product of the processing of catalyst, then there is the opportunity for the energies to move higher within each entity’s chakras. This is where it is necessary for each entity to face the self in a manner in which there are no conditions set upon the sharing of unconditional love\index{unconditional love} with those about each of the entities. However, we would remind each that this child identity is always present in some fashion and will respond with great glee and joy\index{joy} when this is recognized and allowed to have its say and its play, for the child identity is more closely aligned with the universal energies of love\index{love} and light, and the playful interaction of the two. These are a portion of the process of your planet’s movement into the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding. Each entity upon the planetary sphere\index{sphere} that is resonating with the solar and cosmic instreamings is (thus] able to act itself as a beacon of light that emanates these stepped-down frequencies that represent the love\index{love}, the light, and the unity of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator that resides within each entity, and is activated by these energies, and reflects and promotes and processes these energies to those about the entity that is receiving them and broadcasting them. Thusly, the entity that is sensitive to these energies will do well to engage in a daily program of examining the life experience so that there is a smooth flow of the prana, or love/light of the One Creator through each energy center ending at the indigo. In general, we would say that you have made an accurate summary of this process, of the movement of entities within this planetary sphere\index{sphere} into the four density of love\index{love} and understanding. However, the entity which has experienced the higher energies may bring them forth into this shared experience so that the product of such seeming mundane interaction becomes that which is enhanced by a greater expression of love\index{love} of the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator to those entities that are a portion of the mundane gathering. You are our inspiration in that you move and live and have your being in this dense, heavy illusion\index{illusion} of third density\index{third density} in which the truth of unity, love\index{love}, and light, have such a difficult time being apprehended. love-sentence-body.tex:4773: Your Sun body is also subject to these same instreamings in a manner which causes it to become more active in its life-giving role for your planetary sphere\index{sphere}, for the light and love\index{love}, or prana, which flows from your Sun body and brings life and light to your planetary sphere, is also cyclical in nature. When the cycles of both the cosmic instreamings and your solar revolutionary expressions of love/light coincide, there is an increased effect upon not only your Earth\index{earth} sphere\index{sphere}, but also upon those entities that inhabit your Earth at this time. For those who consciously seek in this manner to enhance their own journey of living and loving the experience and all about them, this is most helpful, for it blends with their conscious desire\index{desire} to receive just such energies. And there is a, shall we say, mismatch between the perception and the experience so that there is much of mental and emotional confusion\index{confusion} that results for those who are not ready at this time to look upon the life experience as that which teaches how to open the heart\index{heart} in unconditional love. I would like to ask what is the wisdom\index{wisdom} that you may offer as to the best way for those of us who are spiritual seekers seeking to raise our vibration to the higher levels on our spiritual path, but also wanting to do it with light and love\index{love} and consideration for all for these ones that you describe who are maybe thrashing about or having confusion. These preincarnative choices\index{choices}, then, become another factor in aiding the mind/body/spirit complex in pursuing the overall plan for the incarnation in order that there might be an enriching of the experience of the third-density\index{third-density} illusion\index{illusion} that can aid one in moving from this illusion into the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love\index{love} and understanding. There is the quality of seeking in the meditative state that is enhanced by one’s desire\index{desire} to know how to serve more effectively, how to open the heart\index{heart} more fully, how to give unconditional love\index{unconditional love} more frequently. If one can see past the outer parameters of the catalyst in front of one in the meditative state, and have the question within the mind and the heart\index{heart} how to more fully love\index{love} and serve, then through this lens one may more accurately see the features and resonances that are facing one and offering to one the opportunity to do just that, to love, to serve, to accept, to give, to give praise and thanksgiving\index{thanksgiving} for the opportunity to be. Indeed, for many upon your planetary sphere\index{sphere} at this time, the open-hearted love\index{love} of the fourth density\index{fourth density} of love and understanding is actively functioning. This activity within the heart\index{heart} energy center, is that which will draw one into those areas or arenas within one’s daily round of activities which are in need of this kind of loving acceptance\index{acceptance} on an unconditional level, so that one who has the open heart may begin to feel the pains of those whose hearts are wishing to open, but have a difficulty in doing so, and seek unconsciously or even consciously to find where there are those who have accomplished this feat, and who may be of service as a teacher\index{teacher} upon an unconscious level or a conscious level. The desire\index{desire} of those entities at this time upon your planet who are nearing their own ability to open their hearts in love\index{love} and in light to all of the creation is that which is growing greater and greater in numbers and in frequency so that the calling\index{calling} for assistance becomes a great cry that is heard throughout the one infinite\index{infinite} creation. Those of the love\index{love} vibration upon this planetary sphere\index{sphere}, then, in both conscious and unconscious ways begin to respond to this cry for assistance by sending love and light to those who call. This is a kind of resonance that is set up when the quality of love\index{love} within one’s heart\index{heart} begins to grow to an overwhelming nature and desire\index{desire} to serve others about one, so that love does not come just from your heart, but from the universe through your heart to those about you, as you become a beacon, shall we say, of light and love to those who call. Again, we refer you to the tool of meditation\index{meditation}, for the meditative state is one in which the desires of one’s being are broadcast like a frequency of assistance of love\index{love}, of light, of beingness, of desire\index{desire} to reach one’s highest goals, of the ability to realize the incarnative plan. We feel that what has occurred in each of the channeling\index{channeling} sessions that we have attempted to speak towards in these last few years has been a growing desire\index{desire} to seek as one body or being those aspects of love\index{love}, of light, and of unity, that may be offered to each upon a daily basis so that there is, within each, the ability to give and to receive love upon an elevated and continually more elevated state of consciousness. We are most overwhelmed with joy\index{joy} and gratitude\index{gratitude} at our ability to feel your love\index{love} and your light as you join in seeking for the ultimate source of love and light within all beings. love-sentence-body.tex:4789: This, in effect, in the practical sense, means that each conscious seeker\index{seeker}, then, must prepare the self to engage in a loving fashion as much as is possible with the entities that populate its daily round of experience, who, of themselves, are often without any conscious knowledge\index{knowledge} of the spiritual journey, the opening of the heart\index{heart}, the ability to share love\index{love}, and the strengthening and supporting each of the other upon this path. Therefore, there is, for each conscious seeker\index{seeker}, then, an opportunity to share that which is possible to share of the green-ray energy center, the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} that is possible to offer in some fashion in every opportunity of meeting those in the daily round of activities. It is impossible for each conscious seeker\index{seeker} of truth to make more of an effort in the sharing of love\index{love} and of light than is available within the being. If there is the opening of the heart\index{heart} to such extent, however, that this imaging of the self being imbued with love\index{love}, moving from the universe to the self in the heart and flowing from the heart outwards, then this type of a visualization can enhance the individual ability to offer that which is already within the heart, and amplify it and intensify it by the visualization of seeing the heart energies moving from the fourth density\index{fourth density} which now engulfs your planet, outward from the heart to each entity that one meets in the daily round of experience. Each conscious seeker\index{seeker}, then, is well advised to be aware that there are many entities already within the fourth-density\index{fourth-density} environment who send you and all the population of this planet love\index{love} and light on a constant basis. The awareness of this available love\index{love} and light, then, from these entities and from beyond, can aid each in the processing of the catalyst that comes with each day’s experience. Each positive seeker\index{seeker} who wishes to be of service to others\index{service to others}, and to open the heart\index{heart} in unconditional love\index{unconditional love}, is a kind of missionary that has a creed that includes the consideration of each other entity that will be experienced as a soul within the life experience. Thus, the sacrifice\index{sacrifice} that is made follows along the lines of refusing to engage in any arguments about the necessity to purely give that which is one’s to give, the unconditional love\index{unconditional love} of the heart\index{heart} energy center. The tendency for many conscious seekers of truth is to attempt to make a case when dealing with difficult catalyst from another self that the other self would benefit by following the advice or expressions of love\index{love} of the self, thereby engaging in a spiritual discourse, or kind of changing of minds in the attempt to become more accepted\index{accepted} by the other self. Thus, the seeker\index{seeker} who wishes to give what is most helpful must oftentimes sacrifice\index{sacrifice} the proselytizing, shall we say, the spiritual sermonette, and by actions primarily, and words secondarily, always bolstered by thought within, offer that quality of love\index{love} which accepts entities as they are, and makes the demonstration of one’s own loving nature the teaching, rather than the words. (Thus] there may be added to the clarity of the blue\index{blue} ray the compassion\index{compassion} of the green\index{green} ray, which does not alter the truth in its essence, but perhaps may state the truth in a loving fashion which does not include the more aggressive parts, or jarring parts of total clarity where there may be accusations or blame, and the making of another responsible for this or that result of the interaction between entities. Thus, the green\index{green} ray energy center may serve as a kind of loving acceptance\index{acceptance} of another being so that the clear communication is received as a kind of spiritual food. We encourage each to pick oneself up again, dust oneself off, and move forward in truth, in love\index{love}, in light, and in joy\index{joy}, knowing that you seek the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator who resides in every being and every portion of the creation about you. love-sentence-body.tex:4801: To depend upon the understanding and loving responses of entities about the narcissist is to look into a mirror\index{mirror} and see that which eludes the narcissist—that is, the everyday appreciation of the appearance and abilities of all other selves. Some people have experiences of attempting to offer love\index{love} and acceptance\index{acceptance} directly, but having that be taken advantage of completely and more harm coming from that attempt to offer love. This kind of service is that which attempts to give love\index{love} and understanding, when it is known that oftentimes the response will be a rejection of such, seeing such attempts at love and understanding as futile expressions of weakness. The simple expression of love\index{love} and understanding must then be translated in the day-to-day behavior, and not just the communication, that attempts to see the narcissistic entity as one which offers opportunity for growth amongst the entire assemblage of entities that are within the close approximation or daily round of activities for the narcissist. Ra\index{ra} has said that a perfectly balanced entity would respond to any situation with love\index{love} and sees all things as love, and that to a perfectly balanced entity, no situation would be emotionally charged. 1 I’m trying to understand\index{understand} what “emotionally charged” and “love\index{love}” mean. Or are these things considered an emotion charge and a perfectly balanced entity would only experience the constant love\index{love} within any situation. However, each seeker\index{seeker} of truth is upon the path of attempting to reach the level of love\index{love} and understanding that would result as a means of viewing any situation. As the entity moves through the incarnation, then, it attempts to open the heart\index{heart} in unconditional love\index{unconditional love} as its primary response to any situation which it encounters. Therefore, the response is love\index{love}, for the Creator becoming able to know itself in every situation is the reason for the entire creation. This is the great challenge—to find the love\index{love} that is in every moment, in every situation, and in every entity within the creation. The holographic image so mentioned in this quote, is that which can be seen as the Logos, the Love\index{love} that is the first product of freewill that wishes to know itself, the One Infinite\index{infinite} Creator, then, uses the concept of love, the ability to create, what is seen as a creation, many stars, many planets, many entities, many energies, all in motion, in a manner which reflects the potential apprehension of the love, light, and unity of the One Infinite Creator expressed in all of the creation. We would suggest that as the pet\index{pet} is related to by the owner, that the love\index{love} which the owner feels for the pet be expressed in any way possible, and in every opportunity possible, in order that the love of the owner for the pet is invested in the pet so that it is much likened unto a seed\index{seed} that begins to grow within the pet and the pet then begins to feel a loving response for the owner, as it feels the love from the owner to it. This is a reciprocal opportunity to give that which is understanding, love\index{love}, compassion\index{compassion}, to the pet\index{pet} so that it may feel engulfed by the open-hearted unconditional love\index{unconditional love} of the owner. Thus, there is the type of giving and taking of love\index{love} and light that is most beneficial\index{beneficial} between the pet\index{pet} and the owner. These talents include the sending of love\index{love} and light by those of Hatonn\index{hatonn} to entities that are requesting such, perhaps within their daily round of activities, within their meditations, or within their sleep. They ask for the love\index{love} and the light of the Creator to be shined upon them, that they may be enhanced in some fashion whether it be of mind, of body, or of spirit. There are entities within those of Q’uo, Latwii\index{latwii} and Ra\index{ra}, which are able to send a combination of love\index{love} and light that enhances entities in a similar fashion, yet at

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. meditation_begin.txt:148:2001/0923.txt:75: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. meditation_begin.txt:152:2002/0901.txt:42:I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As we mentioned previously, this is the time of harvest, the time of the change of cycles for not only each entity upon this planet but for the planet itself. For all move in the upward spiraling line of light as if in accordance with the hands of a clock striking the hour of change. The time grows short. There is much work yet to do. This planet has for many of your millennia suffered the difficulties of factions warring one against the other. This anger of war and bellicose action has seeped as heat into the crust of the planet, heat which must be released. Each entity, as well as the planet itself, is therefore asked in the spiritual sense to take a larger share of the ability to transmute this heat and anger. Those who have no firm foundation of spiritual seeking or outlet of sharing in a metaphysical manner take this extra share of energy and transfer it as anger. Thus, those who are aware of the change occurring upon the planetary and the cosmic level which reaches into each individual heart, do well to see in their meditations and their prayers hearts that begin to open, minds that begin to open, arms that begin to open, so that there is acceptance and love, compassion and forgiveness, in place of competition and anger, confusion and ignorance. Therefore, we recommend most heartily that the prayers and visualizations be added to you meditations in order to aid other entities in their attempt to open their hearts, which is the purpose for each entity here on the planet at this time. Some are more, shall we say, effective, more able to do this than others. Those who are able to open their hearts first then teach others by example and in their meditations. meditation_begin.txt:158:2003/0717.txt:58:When there has been a forgetting of that which has occurred within the conscious memory, it is either because there was little value to the self in retaining this experience or because there was some difficulty in accepting the experience, so that there was instead of acceptance, rejection. These experiences are critical portions of one’s formative years, shall we say. To explore the primary cause of such rejection, it is often necessary to look within the dream state or the deep meditation, which may uncover these types of traumatic learnings. Thus, we suggest that you take what you can of the current memory, the place where the memory stops, and attempt within your dream state or within your meditative state to take the next step in experience, to open the self to receiving that clue or quality of feeling that will begin to reveal to you that which you have hidden from yourself. mirror-heart.txt:17:1991/0303_02.txt:26:There is eventually no self-perceived need to assign any quality to the other self, for that quality has clearly been seen within the self and forgiven within the self. It is in this acceptance and rest that the child may come to believe that it is possible to be miserable and yet to be hopeful, for the child knows well the parent and knows well the parent’s version of this same negative trait, as perceived within the illusion. When the parent authentically establishes an healed awareness of self, when it is capable of saying, “Just as I am, just this much is perfect in a way I do not understand but perceive by faith alone,” then compassion flows from that womb which is the true heart, which is ever pregnant with the fullness of love and ever propagating itself in seeds of fullness out of fullness that may rain upon those about it. Thus, in finding the peace and acceptance of the self, one finds the acceptance of the unquiet mirror offered by another self. mirror-heart.txt:27:1994/1002.txt:8:How painful it is to see that dark side of self, yet when this is seen, should the heart not rejoice, for this is a portion of a perfection. That perfection is shrouded in mystery. Why it is perfection to have both the virtue and the vice is a question forever unanswered except by internalized experience. It is difficult, indeed, to accept the whole self, to love and nurture that very self none other, none better, or wiser, or sweeter, but that self at that moment. The acceptance of self by self is perhaps the most difficult, and yet the most fundamental work in consciousness one can do, and you shall do it time and time again for there is no lack of opportunity to gaze into the mirror of other selves and see the criminal mind at work. mirror-heart.txt:37:2001/0211.txt:31:The mated relationship is one which has been called by some an ordeal, for in this relationship one comes face to face with those qualities that are strengths, that are weaknesses, that are latent, that are possible. One is face to face, in short, with one’s humanity, with that which enlivens your being and gives a vitality to your step, a purpose to your life and to the sharing that is possible also with others because of that which you have done with each other. Therefore, that which you undertake in this life is, in general and specific terms, the awakening of compassion and the forming of that kind of relationship which can be seen to be ideal; that is to say, where the heart of each is opened not only to each but to all others as a result of the work that is at times difficult, that is always undertaken between the two of you. Thus, work done between the two of you is work which can benefit the entire planet, for as you are able to find harmony, love, understanding and acceptance within the self so will you be able to find it within others as all others mirror to you that which is the heart of your self. orange-ray.txt:7:1988/1009.txt:6:When an entity is extremely positive, as each within this circle is, that which may be seen by others to be unimportant or non-catalytic, upon the contrary sensitive entities which seek will certainly use this catalyst and experience painfully negative emotions. Thus, hatred is love which has been hurt badly. Anger is that which comes of hatred. Beneath the hatred is what this instrument would call the orange-ray blockage. This is especially painful when the entity who is in pain has some difficulty in experiencing self-worth and self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-love. orange-ray.txt:15:1992/0409.txt:87:[footnote start]Holy Bible, Exodus 3:14.↩[footnote end][footnote start]JHVH, Jahweh or Jehovah is a name of mystery supposedly given to Moses on Mt.

This body interpenetrates the physical body during our lifetime. The Chinese call this body the electrical body. Acupuncture is based on working with this body.

Red is the first ray and has to do with survival and sexuality. Orange ray has to do with personal relationships. Yellow ray has to do with one’s relationship to groups such as your family and work environment. Green ray is the heart chakra and has to do with loving unconditionally. Blue ray is the chakra of communication and acceptance. Indigo ray is the chakra of work in consciousness. Violet ray is a report on the whole of the energy body; a kind of read-out.

If your desires are for lust then you shall leave your kundalini in red ray. If your desires focus upon personal relationships, then you shall raise your kundalini to the orange ray. If your true desire is for marriage and a good work situation, then you shall raise your kundalini to the yellow-ray level. If your deepest desire is to open your heart, then you shall raise the kundalini to the green-ray level. If your deepest desire is to learn how to love with wisdom and to know what it is to have compassion while invoking justice, then you move into those energies of acceptance and of justice that are invoked in blue ray. And when you finally desire above all things to be devoted ultimately and completely to the one infinite Creator and live in the precincts of faith, then by your desire you have pulled up the energy into indigo. orange-ray.txt:104:2017/0506.txt:27:The red-ray energy center being that which deals with the survival of the entity and the sexual reproduction of the entity, its survival, shall we say, as a species. The orange ray being that individual or emotional idiosyncrasy that is expressed in a one-to-one relationship with another being. The yellow ray being that group expression of energies that the wanderer has involved itself in. The green ray being the opening of the heart energy center, and the experience of universal love, being able to both give and receive that love. The throat chakra being that freely given communication or inspiration and acceptance of other selves. The indigo ray energy center being that energy of the adept, the magical personality and its state of beingness, of the sense of the Creator as intelligent energy. The violet ray being that center which reflects the overall balance of all the energy centers. orange-ray.txt:112:2019/0907.txt:25:I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. For the orange-ray energy center, the expression of the prana, or love/light of the One Infinite Creator, in a positive sense through this center, would allow the entity activating this energy center to relate to one other entity in a manner which was of acceptance, of giving, of that sharing which is personal, emotional, and individual to the two entities engaged in this type of energy exchange. The negatively oriented entities will utilize such energies in order to separate from and control such other selves that relate to the negative self on a one-to-one basis. The positively oriented entity will utilize the energies of the orange ray in order to welcome and enjoy the offerings of another in hopes that the offerings of the self to the other will be enjoyed in a similar fashion. orange-ray.txt:116:2019/1005.txt:8:The beginning red-ray attraction will, of necessity, cause intense interpersonal interactions that are a portion of the orange-ray energy center. If the catalyst from these interactions can be successfully processed by each entity so that there is love and acceptance as the product of the processing of catalyst, then there is the opportunity for the energies to move higher within each entity’s chakras. Thus [energy] moves into the yellow ray of group energies wherein there is the chance for the two entities to blend as one in the social sense, so that they partake of a larger environment of friends, family, and so forth that comprise the group consciousness, thereby utilizing their orange-ray identities that have been solidified, shall we say, in the intense interaction relegated to the orange-ray energy center. orange-ray.txt:117:1981ra-contact/015.txt:56:The next energy complex which may be blocked is the emotional, or personal, complex also known as the orange-ray complex. This blockage will often demonstrate itself as personal eccentricities or distortions with regard to self-conscious understanding, or acceptance, of self. peace_treaty.html:271: practices to ensure its legitimacy and acceptance by all parties and the international community. peace_treaty.tex:180: \item International Standards: The referendum process will adhere to recognized international standards and best practices to ensure its legitimacy and acceptance by all parties and the international community. poli.txt:7:1979/0906.txt:9:If you are unable to tolerate a person, as understandable as it may be, you must still continue to meditate until you can see that person as the Creator, for that is the law of love. You have upon your planet many who do not understand nor wish to seek the law of love, and it is indeed hard to imagine being able to love some of these people. We would name, for instance, Adolf Hitler, whom it would be difficult to see as a child of the Creator. Yet, my friends, this man is a child of the Creator and this soul, although he has a long, long journey, will in the end become a spiritualized and seeking being. Other political figures of your time, such as the entity this instrument calls the Ayatollah of Iran, seem to be totally lost in totally foolish and shameful acts. But we say to you, my friends, you must see each person as part of the Creator. It is only in doing this that you free yourself to have a right relationship with each person that you meet. These are extreme examples, of course, but in your daily life you meet so many whom you could inspire because of the joy in your heart and your acceptance of them without judgment. They would then wish to know what you had that made you different, my friends. And you would have dropped a seed of love; whether it fall on stony ground or on fertile soil, your service would have been accomplished. poli.txt:79:2002/0210.txt:9:For you see, to come into an acceptance of the she-wolf that runs with you, to come into an acceptance of the liar whose dazzling footsteps dance one out of trouble, to love that self that is able to aim, group at three inches, and polish off a target at twenty yards that happens to be a human that is attempting to cause damage to a loved one... This instrument has certainly experienced the feelings of a murderer when a loved one was apparently struck and perhaps killed. There is no length of time between the sight of someone that needs defense in the mind of the perceiver and the feelings of murder. And it is a pure, clean, crisp and powerful emotion, not unlike anger but with deadly intent. Would any say that this instrument had an unintegrated murderer within her? No. And yet it is in this instrument’s inner thoughts that she does indeed have a murderer alive and well and living in the hospitality of the temple of the body, the mind, and her spirit. And so each contains all that there is, and within your density the very fabric of your illusion is very much the ying and the yang, the give and the take, and it is a great achievement indeed when that dark side of self is seen as an asset by the self and as that she-wolf bares its fangs and seems to come at one as a werewolf, as a predator, as one that wants to tear out the heart, that is when you embrace that she-wolf and know that that is your powerful, brave heart that is capable of anything but that chooses to be your she-wolf, to be your totem, to be your seeker of truth that prowls in dreams and comes back with news of elsewhere. poli.txt:166:2015/1121.txt:37:So it is one affair when one encounters the hungry stranger, the stranger who is cold, the stranger who is lost, the stranger who is forlorn, to open the door and provide sustenance, warmth, and acceptance. And it is another affair to contend with those who have the intention not of accepting in good grace the welcome you have to offer, but of defeating the master of the house, of overturning the existing order, of achieving domination over others, of introducing the dark stranger of fear into the body politic. poli.txt:168:2016/0402.txt:33:The first act, therefore, in addressing a situation in which trouble has been made, in which pain has been inflicted, is the act of forgiveness. This involves forgiving one who has stirred up the reservoirs of pain within one’s own self, and within the body politic, shall we say, so that one does not build judgment upon judgment, pain upon pain; one does not, in short, make the situation worse. It is well to keep in mind, however, that while complete forgiveness is the access to complete acceptance, and complete acceptance is the first step towards complete healing, that each is dealing with a capacity which is not fully developed in this regard, and, therefore, one has to understand that there are, indeed, limits to one’s ability to process difficult catalyst. poli.txt:173:2016/1015.txt:34:I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, there are labor pains occurring across the planet as a whole, for each time there is a group of people, shall we say, the immigrants from the Middle East, that suffer the difficulties within their own country, the bombings, the terrorizing, the killing of those who do not agree with the prevailing point of view—any time there is a pain or anguish of this nature, you may see it as equivalent to a labor pain. Whether it is entities who are being discriminated against in another country for their race, their sex, their political beliefs, their religious tenants, these also produce a pain that could be seen as a labor pain. Any time there is a disharmony in any group or individual that has the lack of love, the lack of understanding, the lack of acceptance of such an entity, it produces a pain of a mental nature, a spiritual nature, an emotional nature, a physical nature. All these pains at this time could be likened to the labor pain of your Mother Earth, for you and she are one, you are made of her, she is your mother, she is birthing that which is your child. The relationship between all of you is that of oneness, is that of unity. Such pain is felt by all at some level, perhaps not consciously, perhaps not mentally, most usually in the spiritual sense so that within the meditative state you may tune into the level of pain that is occurring upon the planet if you are willing and strong enough to feel and empathize with such pain, perhaps a small degree would be enough, to reveal to you the nature of such a mass experience of pain upon the mother to all. poli.txt:177:2017/0218.txt:16:But, there is not a template that you can put over all catalyst to give you the roadmap to what is negative and what is positive. In general, if you feel that in your response, you are able to experience and express the open heart, you are on fairly safe ground we feel. But the open heart is a most elusive phenomenon, because you can set out to express hope, joy, and love, and yet find that the very qualities which you have consciously embraced and have sought to bring to expression are received in a way that either rejects these qualities, or rejects your particular expression of them. And now what do you do, my friends? How do you respond to this rejection. Do you respond by rejecting the rejection, or do you respond by further accepting the catalyst that the one you have engaged with has to offer you? This can be tricky terrain, my friends, for you do well to know something about yourself while traveling these winding roads. For example, it may be that you will encounter a limit to your capacity to express and sustain positivity in an interaction, and under these circumstances, it can be well, politely to withdraw. It may be that you feel up to the task of taking upon yourself the role of one who absorbs the negativity offered by another and transmutes that negativity to positive effect, so that your response does not seem to be a rejection, but seems rather to be an acceptance of what the other has felt the need to express. In the case of the other with whom you have essentially a loving relationship, this process can prove to be very helpful for both parties. In the case of the other with whom there is not a baseline effect of trust, this process can be baffled in its root. And so, we would not deny that there are occasions where the better part of wisdom is to keep your own counsel. We will not deny that there are cases in which the better part of wisdom is to mind your own energies such that you are able to keep them in balance in reserve for those occasions in which they might be deployed in a manner that has promise in your best ability to ascertain. poli.txt:179:2018/0217.txt:66:However, it is difficult within the many cultures of your particular planet for us to imagine exactly what type of mass perception or occurrence could, in effect, free the blocked energy. It would be hoped that a unified philosophy of love and acceptance of others could begin to take root and spread throughout the planetary cultures. However, there is such division and animosity among the various religions, philosophies, political and social structures, that this seems highly unlikely. red_ray.txt:1:1981ra-contact/049.txt:40:We have two types of energy. We are attempting, then, as entities in any true color of this octave, to move the meeting place of inner and outer natures further and further along, or upward along, the energy centers. The two methods of approaching this with sensible method are first, the seating within one’s self of those experiences which are attracted to the entity through the south pole. Each experience will need to be observed, experienced, balanced, accepted, and seated within the individual. As the entity grows in self-acceptance and awareness of catalyst, the location of the comfortable seating of these experiences will rise to the new true-color entity. The experience, whatever it may be, will be seated in red ray and considered as to its survival content and so forth. red_ray.txt:26:2017/0506.txt:27:The red-ray energy center being that which deals with the survival of the entity and the sexual reproduction of the entity, its survival, shall we say, as a species. The orange ray being that individual or emotional idiosyncrasy that is expressed in a one-to-one relationship with another being. The yellow ray being that group expression of energies that the wanderer has involved itself in. The green ray being the opening of the heart energy center, and the experience of universal love, being able to both give and receive that love. The throat chakra being that freely given communication or inspiration and acceptance of other selves. The indigo ray energy center being that energy of the adept, the magical personality and its state of beingness, of the sense of the Creator as intelligent energy. The violet ray being that center which reflects the overall balance of all the energy centers. red_ray.txt:46:2006/0903.txt:38:You are capable of embodying that which you can pull through from above by your desire. If your desires are for lust then you shall leave your kundalini in red ray. If your desires focus upon personal relationships, then you shall raise your kundalini to the orange ray. If your true desire is for marriage and a good work situation, then you shall raise your kundalini to the yellow-ray level. If your deepest desire is to open your heart, then you shall raise the kundalini to the green-ray level. If your deepest desire is to learn how to love with wisdom and to know what it is to have compassion while invoking justice, then you move into those energies of acceptance and of justice that are invoked in blue ray. And when you finally desire above all things to be devoted ultimately and completely to the one infinite Creator and live in the precincts of faith, then by your desire you have pulled up the energy into indigo. red_ray.txt:60:2017/0506.txt:27:The red-ray energy center being that which deals with the survival of the entity and the sexual reproduction of the entity, its survival, shall we say, as a species. The orange ray being that individual or emotional idiosyncrasy that is expressed in a one-to-one relationship with another being. The yellow ray being that group expression of energies that the wanderer has involved itself in.

This entity saw the work done by those beginning the democratic concept of freedom, as you call it, in danger of being abridged, or abrogated, by the rising belief and use of the principle of the enslavement of entities. This is a negative concept of a fairly serious nature in your density. This entity, therefore, went forward into what it saw as the battle for the light, for healing of a rupture in the concept of freedom. social.memory.complex.txt:127:1984/1202.txt:4:At this point, my brothers and sisters, one might look upon the experiences of this child as a wasted incarnation, for the child was unable to establish any apparent communication or receive any apparent acceptance from others of his social memory complex, and in the passing of the physical vehicle one might be tempted to observe that the potential value passed also. But, my brothers and my sisters, consider if you will the blessings imparted upon a confused whole by the small part of the whole which had, however briefly, obtained a sense of inner balance. Consider, if you will, the effect of one such individual, however young, upon those about him. Is it not true, my brothers and my sisters, that the plant, however unaware of the source of its light will nonetheless thrive and grow in its presence? My brothers and sisters, if your awareness extends truthfully beyond that of your green accomplices on your planet, how then can your lives be unaffected by the presence of one of such beauty within your world or your lives however fleetingly? social.memory.complex.txt:193:1990/0121.txt:5:Because each is unique, there is sometimes a frightening realization that honest disagreements of a fairly deep nature exist. In the atmosphere of honest disagreement, there needs to be a realization of that which is beyond the surface, intellectual and emotional thinking. That awareness is a centripetal force that brings the couple back to the center to become “one.” This becoming one does not diminish either self, but is rather a different entity which you may call “us.” [Each us] is an unique blend of perspectives, biases and viewpoints, just as each are unique in self. This us-self is the beginning of what has been called a social memory complex. Total acceptance of another, without the need to understand, creates an atmosphere in which understanding becomes possible. Intellectually, one can only be hagridden1 by attempts to understand and rationalize the behavior of another. sts_sto_polarity_choice.txt:3:1997/0518.txt:8:We are aware that each is quite familiar with the choice of service to self or service to others that is the foundation choice of this particular density. In addition to this choice of service there is a component which has to do with the purity or extremity of service. We have often called this aspect of the choice polarity, for something can be chosen with a wide range of urgency, a wide spectrum of intensity of desire. There has been the puzzlement expressed in the conversation preceding our remarks concerning how one can truly be of service. The paradox is that when one is of service to others one is automatically serving the self, for that which is offered is returned a hundredfold. It seems clear that each other person is also the self, is also the Creator, and so serving others is serving self. Further, before one can be free to serve another, one must come into relationship with the self, and the process of arriving at a love and acceptance of the self may seem very selfish and egotistical. sts_sto_polarity.txt:13:1997/0518.txt:8:We are aware that each is quite familiar with the choice of service to self or service to others that is the foundation choice of this particular density.

The general acceptance of this shout—“Hosanna to the son of David! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”—by that which is called the church has been a misstatement of occurrence which has been, perhaps, unfortunate, for it is more distorted than much of the so-called Mass. tarot_archetype.txt:1110:I am Ra. Purity does not end with the harvest of third density. The fidelity of Ra towards the attempt to remove distortions is total. This constitutes an acceptance of responsibility for service to others which is of relative purity. tarot_archetype.txt:2351:This particular instrument was not trained, nor did it study, nor worked it at any discipline in order to contact Ra. We were able, as we have said many times, to contact this group using this instrument because of the purity of this instrument’s dedication to the service of the One Infinite Creator, and also because of the great amount of harmony and acceptance enjoyed each by each within the group; this situation making it possible for the support group to function without significant distortion. tarot_archetype.txt:3351:That, my friends, is why there is no judgment possible among peoples, and why there is acceptance of any road whatsoever that the seeker wishes to travel in order to enlarge its experience, for many are the experiences, yet one is the quest. Insofar as the quest is for light, for truth, for the one original Thought, just so shall one’s steps spiral ever upward as service is given. And insofar as the seeker looks for the effect, just so shall he be pulled into the illusion and away from service. tarot_archetype.txt:3768:If entities wish to encourage the use of their own intuition, to encourage its findings, its acceptance, and its use also, then it is recommended naturally that the entity seek a more solitary portion of your planetary surface where the conditions of the more primitive peoples who do indeed hear many spirits speak are available. It is not necessary to attempt to revert to the level of savagery within which the epitome of intellectual achievement is a certain shrewdness, for as each is at this moment, so is the proper beingness. tarot_archetype.txt:3821:We encourage each further, whenever the feelings are depressed, at whatever time of year, to recreate within the mind the Christmas experience of great darkness, short under-lit days of shadow and bleak cold, and a piercing and poignant joy of that infant spirit that against all odds, and without the acceptance of the darkness, moves into darkness as light that is not recognized. You yourselves are full of light which you do not recognize. It is not sunshine; it is not light in a physical sense. You are the carriers of precious treasure. You carry the infinity of the love and the light of the infinite Creator. Picture it. Symbolize it within yourselves as the Christ child, and give it room, encouragement and attention that it may grow each day. tarot_archetype.txt:4165:I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The open heart which accepts the pain of change will find the means of healing that which is broken within more easily accomplished if the attitude attending the painful change is one of acceptance rather than containing any of that which you would call resistance. However, it is not easily accomplished, for that which has carried one to any present point is that with which one is familiar upon a stable basis. When changes are great enough, it often feels as if the foundation beneath one’s feet is cracking and separating to the degree that one shall be torn asunder as well. The ability to move with such changes in the acceptance of the new configuration of self is an ability which is developed through great effort, and is one which most entities never master upon your plane of illusion, but are forced by circumstance to accept, and only in retrospect are they able to see the beneficial aspects of those experiences which have been greatly traumatic previously. tarot_archetype.txt:4235:Now, when one is asked to accept the self or another self there is fundamentally, precisely the same difficulty, but because of the self-consciousness so important to your learning experiences within third density the work done in regard to the self and in regard to the other self will differ somewhat. When working with acceptance of the self there is the push towards a complete self-honesty. This is not so difficult for the spiritual seeker to accomplish. Then there is the desire for acceptance of and desire for the self. This is very difficult for all entities in third density to achieve. The ability to accept the self is hindered by the feeling that since the thoughts of the self are ever imperfect it seems reasonable not to accept the self totally but to continue to judge the self. tarot_archetype.txt:4266:Let me just sum up and have you say “Yes, you have an understanding” or “No, you don’t.” You say that it is the living of a life in faith or the attempt to live a life in faith which is continuous surrender that enables one to raise the question “How can I best find honesty and acceptance in my personal interrelationships?” Would that be a fair summary of what you just said? tarot_archetype.txt:4351:Let us illustrate. One entity approaches a fence. Because the entity is inwardly looking, the entity does not mind where it goes, so it turns and walks along the fence. This is not only choiceless awareness in that there is a graceful and seamless acceptance of a change of direction to cooperate with the electromagnetic fields of wood and metal. There is another entity which is determined to go towards something on the other side of the fence. This entity is choicelessly aware of the fence and nonetheless climbs over it. Depending upon an entity’s attitude, however, it might be considered unfortunate to have the necessity of going along the fence line. It might be equally offensive to another to climb the fence. The more sharp the choice, the more precious the attitude of choiceless awareness. The more challenging the circumstance, the more useful is grace. tarot_archetype.txt:4356:You may choose that line of thinking, then, which suits you. But who chooses? Allow that thought to dissolve the intellect. Who chooses? If you choose, you are not choiceless. Yet the one who chooses, chooses most skillfully, most humanly, most full of polarity, when the choice is made with the new mind of entirety and wholeness. The one known as Jesus said, “I am come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.” There is in the Christ consciousness that choiceless acceptance of the Creator’s will. There is for each entity the same potential for being true to and complete within the personal line of destiny that accompanies the complete freedom of choice—another paradox. tarot_archetype.txt:4731: [overview] One way of progressing on the service-to-others path is by biasing our balance and then balancing our biases. These biases are brought to our attention by our perception of events and offer catalyst for processing. Eventually one profits by seeing the Creator in all and radiating love and acceptance in that reality. It appears that the construct of the mind is of such a nature that processing painful catalysts are engraved in the subconscious in a much firmer and more definite fashion than those learned by experiencing joy or happiness. Why did a loving Creator allow the constructs that learn more effectively with pain rather than with joy? tarot_archetype.txt:5356: [overview] The question today has to do with the various frustrations and angers, all the various difficulties that come around in our lives periodically and seem to be part of our catalyst. What can Q’uo tell us about what it is possible to do intellectually, logically and consciously in learning from the catalyst, and when it is necessary to do something different, to give it up, to accept the situation, to have faith that everything is as it should be? What can Q’uo tell us about the different approaches, the intellectual, the acceptance, doing something different, giving ourselves a break? How can we know what is best for us to do at any certain time in our life experience? tarot_archetype.txt:5577:Though one may feel that such an image is a small thing compared to the immensity of the agony in your world today, we can assure you that when your inner world of spirit is illumined by your free will choice with love and light these thoughts are things, and this is more and more truly so as your planet moves into fourth density at this time, and this light and love goes where it is needed. And there is healing. And there is hope. And there is a direction that leads each into that unity with each other self upon this planet. The process may not be short. It may not be easy, but it is ever possible to those who have the faith and the will to persevere. All things are possible when entered into with love, acceptance, compassion, humility, tolerance and the light touch. These are your allies, my friends, and each other heart in love [who is] joined with you in this great quest which you are upon ever more fully at this time in your planet’s history. tarot_archetype.txt:5636: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? tarot_archetype.txt:5662: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. tarot_archetype.txt:5678: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. tarot_archetype.txt:5914:However, we believe that we grasp the nature of the need for articles of faith that are dogmatically believed, perceived and promulgated, and perhaps if each will think within its own mind and heart of those times when structure equaled comfort, it may be more easily understood what the attraction might be for those who desire and crave the black and white world of right and wrong, acceptable and non-acceptable, that is implied and created with the acceptance of a dogmatic structure. Basically, that which is belief always has content of a specific nature. This insistence upon the nailing of spiritual value, truth and beauty to specific words and only those words chosen by a specific dogmatic editing of holy works, each point which is used to describe another limitation of specificity, is as the builder who wishes to build itself a house to keep it safe from the whims of doubt and change. There is the desire to create a structure of belief that will be stout and firm against the storms of those issues that inevitably bring one face to face with what seem to be the gray areas of self. tarot_archetype.txt:6052: [overview] We’ve had a general discussion that has touched on several key topics, the focus of which is that self-acceptance seems to keep coming back to center stage, regardless of what one thinks its importance level is. As one moves further along the spiritual path it continues to be the ultimate focus. Now, we also had a brief discussion about what it truly means to be a mature soul and how that involves loving yourself and thinking for yourself and not going along with mainstream consensus. So, with this as our basic background of discussion, we’ve decided to leave this session open to the forces to take in whatever direction they see fit for our mutual good. tarot_archetype.txt:6085:The geometric structures so often sought after in your sacred science teachings, whether secret or public, have their importance as the solidified forms of vibration, and this is the ultimate point from which all other queries branch. They, i.e., the geometries, correspond literally to the solidified essence of light or sound, if you will, and the civilian victims of a holocaust may not be likely to understand such pains as can be wrought by the separation from understanding that comes about when this important truth of creation is lost once again. Your crop formations have been given by the Confederation to help enunciate the importance of these structures, for as a mandala of thought, they are unsurpassed in the capacity to align one with the vibrations of the one infinite Creator. It is for this reason that many of the cathedrals in the European continent have been built by those of the Knights Templar to utilize this system of sacred geometry in their construct, as have the temples themselves. The cloak and dagger capers that have occurred within self start to be erased as the geometries are contemplated and the greater capacities for self-acceptance are made clear in that transformation that then occurs. tarot_archetype.txt:6094:We thank you and want to remind you that you are loved more than you could ever possibly imagine, bearing in mind always that it is yourself that seeks this love. What you feel, of God being abandoned from you, is truly the sense of God in the self that wants so dearly for you to reunify. It is that loneliness that you then project onto the others around you and seek their acceptance fittingly. Whereas indeed, if you can find that peace that knows no boundaries within one’s self, all others will, by their very nature, be correspondingly resonant with higher aspects of the conscious self and in so doing heal the apparent indiscretions that have persisted in what you would think of as the past. Thus by transforming oneself the holographic reconstruction of one’s external environment is made complete. And by extrapolation we are referring to your grid, and [the] Earth at large. tarot_archetype.txt:6234:Now, we feel that each within the circle has hopes along similar lines, that is, each has hopes of expanding personal consciousness into a truer, more whole and deeper consciousness; expressing a more essential and more vital self. If infinite consciousness is living your life, then there is no questioner and no answerer but rather a state of being which is unitary; in which there is no necessity for questioning, for waiting, for looking, for all is perfect. This is a valuable tool and resource. No matter what the circumstances, this level of consciousness is always a powerful resource in centering the self and allowing the self to lift away from peripheral details of a particular given situation that has the energy of a bubble of topical interest at the time. One cannot, for the most part, stay within unitary consciousness, within the I AM, a hundred percent of the time within consensus reality. Consensus reality was specifically designed to pull one away from calm, smugness and the acceptance of things as they are. Consensus reality is carefully designed to pull one’s energies out of their comfort zone not once, but again, and again, in cycles, from birth until the death of the physical body. Consequently, we do not suggest that each attempt at all times to remain completely submerged in the I AM of Creatorship. Yet when there is that forest of confusion out of which one cannot find a way, when there seems to be a failure of the rational way of gazing at a situation, we encourage each to take a moment to rest the self from all of the labors of the mind and emotions, to sit or rest while walking, and simply allow that consciousness of I AM to permeate and take over the mind and the focus of the mind, for in that utter lack of personality or condition lies the deepest treasure of the incarnate spirit, the connection with all that there is. tarot_archetype.txt:6395:When you have laid down your burden and said, “Yes, I give this back to the infinite,” then there is that moment of embrace, of acceptance of the self as it was, as it is, and as you have every high hope that it will be. This is a heartbreak to do in terms of an entity feeling that he has made progress. It is very difficult to feel that one has indeed made progress [when] working with psychic resistance, because there is nothing that is “out there.” It is all going on within the inner processes of the self. So there is no way to check against some objective standard and say, “Well, I have achieved Point 1 and Point 2; I am now on Point 3, and I am progressing through this process and at the end of it I will have succeeded.” As most entities upon your surface experience, and as certainly those within this circle experience, the greeting is dealt with for the moment and then, at the next opportunity, it simply resurfaces and the work is there to do all over again. tarot_archetype.txt:6397:So it is as though there are springs of pain within you that come from so deep underground within your nature that you cannot root them out. And, for most entities, in one or two cases at least, these springs can be expected to function throughout the incarnation. It is to be noted that in these cases there is a purpose and a use for the work that must be done in response to these experiences of the pain springing forth from these deep fountains within. About suffering in general we may say that it is a part of the “refining fire” that this instrument is used to calling the incarnation. An incarnation for one who is attempting to learn does partake of the pain of that learning. Before incarnation this was understood by you and accepted. The reason for this careless and seemingly casual acceptance of future pain was that from before incarnation or from after incarnation, gazing into incarnation and knowing the full spectrum of the Creator and the nature of creation and of the process that one is embracing in coming into incarnation, it seemed like child’s play. It seemed so obvious that there would be these moments of challenge and certainly there would be discomfort but there would always be this knowledge of the way things really are. tarot_archetype.txt:6983:We are not encouraging you to find some method of teaching this child. On the other hand, we would ask you to be quite responsive to any questions or comments shared by the child with you. Such expressions are your invitation to tell your stories, share your wisdom, and embrace the child in an atmosphere of acceptance and love. tarot_archetype.txt:7117:When one becomes a spiritual teacher, the subject matter of the class becomes less important [and] the character and nature of the teacher becomes more important. There are practices of Buddhists and Hindus, for instance, in which the entire learning experience of the guru or the teacher and the chela or the student is conducted in silence. The teacher sits and rests in his essence. Within the essence, there is affection, compassion and all the gifts of the spirit which have been granted to this teacher. Implicit in his silent meditation [are] his acceptance, true love, and all of the environment which points the student toward his own essence. It is as if the teacher is a star, twinkling in the night sky, that by its clarity and lucidity of essence creates in the student the ability also to become such a star, twinkling, lucid and clear. tarot_archetype.txt:7125:So, the great spiritual teachers are those who are content to be. They do not have an axe to grind. They do not have a pet topic that they wish to lecture to you about. What they have in common is the quality of their own realization of self. This is the secret ingredient in all teaching. And therefore, if one wishes to be a teacher, one needs to engage in a style of living that leads one ever closer to honesty, self-acceptance, comfort within oneself, affection for oneself. These gifts of the self can only be given by the self. You cannot become compassionate by studying. You can only present yourself to your innermost heart as your own student and say, “Dear heart of self, dear Christ consciousness within me, teach me your ways, help me to become.” tarot_archetype.txt:7355:What the feminine offers is the inspiration from spirit. That is the other portion of that male expression of strength, power and virility. The woman is expressing acceptance, unconditional love, and the energy of the Creator Itself. For you see, the woman, unlike man, is possessed of a direct route or connection to the womb of, shall we say, Mother Nature or the red-ray energy of planet Earth. tarot_archetype.txt:7394: [overview] The question tonight is: Ra says, “Know yourself. Accept yourself. Become the Creator.”1 We would like to know what is the difference between knowing yourself on the one hand and accepting yourself on the other. Could you define these? Is there any significance in the placement of self-knowledge before self-acceptance in this statement? tarot_archetype.txt:7398:You ask this day what it is to know the self, and what it is to accept the self, how the two are the same or similar and how they are different. One way in which they are different is that one precedes the other. One must know oneself before one can fully accept oneself. It is not an authentic concept to accept the self in the absence of knowledge. It is an empty acceptance. Consequently, knowing the self does precede the process of accepting the self. So, we shall talk about knowing the self first. tarot_archetype.txt:7425:Yet accepting the self goes beyond describing oneself as a wretch, as does the old hymn Amazing Grace.6 It is almost, in this song, as if grace were the Lone Ranger that comes riding into town and saves the wretch from whatever peccadilloes or villains the Western desert has brought forth to threaten or to condemn. There is, in accepting the self, the necessity to move beyond the need for others’ acceptance of you and, likewise, to move beyond the need to beg acceptance of a higher power. For if one depends forever upon a higher power to be acceptable or to achieve acceptance or goodness as a spirit, then one can never become the Creator, but shall always remain a beggar at the Lord’s table. tarot_archetype.txt:7428:Accepting the self is a matter of becoming a judge that is not condemnatory but compassionate. We do not argue in any way that each entity has many self-perceived imperfections. However, the nature of acceptance of the self is such that to accept the self is to forgive and to redeem the self. tarot_archetype.txt:7432:Accepting the self, just as knowing the self, is an unending exploration, for there is always that which is new. New circumstances spring forth and create new situations in which the self has previously been untried. And each interaction in each situation brings its fruit of self-knowledge and its opportunity for further integration into self-acceptance. tarot_archetype.txt:7925:This is a process which each of you is aware of, both consciously (to a degree) and subconsciously, in completeness, so that you are aware that the chance and the opportunity to find the unconditional love flowing freely from your green-ray energy center is being enhanced as you meet each new day in your life experience. Each day you are aware will give you more and more opportunities to express this unconditional love and acceptance of much which you are now not able to greet with love, for there is so much in your world that seems to be other than partaking of love, partaking of unity, partaking of light, partaking of healing, partaking of the harmonizing of all that seems disharmonious. tarot_archetype.txt:7983:It seems like there are three basic roads for those on this planet; entities can just completely armor themselves against the increasing energies, and be deaf to them in a way, or they can sense them a little more strongly and decide, on one level or another, to cooperate or not cooperate with the energies. If that’s correct, what does it mean to cooperate with the fourth-density energies of love and acceptance? tarot_archetype.txt:8111:This takes a dedicated practice of meditation and regular introspection upon the circumstances that one finds oneself in. The basis for this is a daily practice in which any circumstance that stands out to you as a seeker, whether it be positive or negative, is recalled within the conscious mind and attempted to be viewed from a state of love and light and acceptance and non-judgement, and allowed to move you as a seeker on the deepest levels. This regular practice is a prerequisite for the greater work, that we would refer to as adepthood, that reaches for the high and mighty goal of universal healing. tarot_archetype.txt:8149:However, once an individual begins upon the path of spiritual seeking, particularly, the path of service to others in which the relationship of self with self is one of acceptance, and gentleness, and understanding, and an attempt to integrate the wholeness of the self, then the relationship between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind becomes exponentially more important, for there are many riches of the Creator contained within the unconscious mind that are not readily available to the veiled conscious mind. And so, a seeker who intends to develop this relationship and come to an understanding of those unseen aspects of self buried deep within, the intention to establish and fortify this bridge of communication is incredibly important and effective. tarot_archetype.txt:8153:This is long and careful work, and we encourage any who worked with dreams to have patience with the self and with the unconscious mind, for this is a relationship that is for the positive seeker, properly developed with gentleness and a slow understanding that must be developed through repeated exercise of acceptance and understanding. tarot_archetype.txt:8214:The third-density entity builds worlds of consciousness from this structure, activating archetypes at times that it may be held together in cohesive fashion to process the experiential data of the life experience, and move forward in its evolutionary journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. This mind is common to all, not just upon your sphere, but any third density within this particular solar system, within any particular solar system. Each entity and, indeed, each group draws upon this mind uniquely to create its own experience in infinitely varied ways within these basic foundational patterns. tarot_archetype.txt:8231:We share this information regarding responsibility not to instill a sense of dread or fear, for we know the potential implications of utilizing this relationship. This interaction with artificial intelligence can be what you may sense as a negative. [It] can be used, as you may see, against other-self to distort experience or control. And it may seem as though that potential is too large to ignore, and we would agree. However, we would state that the sitting and resting in fear without finding the acceptance and love for any potential is a more challenging avenue towards the path of spiritual evolution and growth. tarot_archetype.txt:8242:And so, we may initially respond in a broad sense in that the meaning of such a phenomenon is the same as any other meaning of your experience in that it is an opportunity for the self—whether it is a self feeling as though this particular identity applies to them, or the self wanting to relate to an other-self expressing such an identity. For the seeker upon the path of service to others, catalyst is related to with acceptance and love and gentleness and understanding. These aspects of your heart must be put before any other consideration, particularly in dealing with other-selves, and particularly in dealing with other-selves who are in a situation where they are put at odds with society, and who experience difficulty because of particular cultural norms and particular ideas about how any individual should express themselves. This is a common experience upon your planet in many different ways, and currently we find this topic of questioning is a particularly powerful catalyst for those individuals experiencing such an identity, and those contemplating how society should relate to this expression. tarot_archetype.txt:8249:We also feel compelled to point out that at this particular juncture of your cultural evolution that such an expression carries much cultural catalyst for the individual. That too is an influence upon such an expression. For it may be chosen preincarnationally to engage in such an expression that challenges the self within society and generates catalyst that requires some intense processing and contemplation on how to relate to such catalyst with acceptance and love, strength and truth, and the ability of the self to step into what one knows is true for the self—and to follow that path, regardless of the thoughts and opinions of other selves. tarot_archetype.txt:8253:Firstly, thank you Q’uo. That was beautiful and powerful. Yes, as you know or are aware that there are powers that be that want to hide or block the light that shines from individuals who identify as transgender. And I’m just wondering how, as a people who are desiring to serve others and to have an open heart, how we can be of support on a spiritual level to help alleviate that pressure or to help others find acceptance and understanding and develop inroads for inclusion? Or how we may be of support to those who identify as transgender?Q’uo tarot_archetype.txt:8256:But we can reiterate that for the positive seeker, the relationship to catalyst is one of acceptance and of love and of understanding. This relationship to catalyst is done in faith. To truly relate to any individual or any catalyst in love and understanding requires that one release the need to fully classify or contextualize or apply any logic to the notion of that catalyst, or to the expression of that individual—and this case, that individual’s identity. Instead, release the strictures of these things in favor of the love and of the acceptance. tarot_archetype.txt:8257:This may manifest itself in different ways and in different circumstances, particularly as you relate to unique individuals who may have needs, whether practical or emotional, that differ from other individuals. And so, to express this love and acceptance in one case may look different in another case. However, we find that for the seeker who releases the strictures of needing to grapple with and to contextualize and apply logic to such things, and [instead] allow the heart to guide the seeker, such answers and inspiration for how one may interact may come naturally in a moment. And should you find that there are unintended repercussions for how you have offered love and support, that you square those repercussions with your intentions, and attempt to reconcile your intentions with how your actions and expression of attempted support have unfolded. tarot_archetype.txt:8281:In recognizing its selfhood, the entity would inherently need to recognize other-self. That is not to say that there is a direction of that recognition, be it one of acceptance or rejection, simply, [understanding that the other-self’s] existence, and the interaction between self and other-self is not simply wrote equations or code but energetic exchange giving and taking—[Dogs bark in the background] tarot_archetype.txt:8318:Being present with that which you see as your body can also be helpful in terms of learning to love and accept it for what it is. In your sense, it may seem what you call imperfect. It may seem weak. It may seem faulty. Would you put those labels on any other portion of the Creator’s creation? Why affix them to yourself? Sit with that love and that acceptance that you have for other aspects of this creation, and feel it for yourself. Genuinely hone in on that love. Genuinely accept it and thank it. Have gratitude for it. And perhaps in that love and acceptance, you may find what you call healing. tarot_archetype.txt:8344:“If such is my true estate,” you may ask, “then why, why do I suffer so?” We may say this is the puzzle for you that was not imposed upon you by any external intelligence or force or universe, but it was a puzzle that you put in place for yourself, that it may facilitate that which you sought to learn when you have the key. We cannot describe this exact shape to you [of that key], but we can firmly indicate that that key is made with love, with acceptance, with forgiveness. The door does not open without these qualities and their associated qualities entering those places where you have rejected the Creator, rejected or perhaps even demeaned yourself and other-self. third-harvest.txt:44:1981ra-contact/080.txt:32:I am Ra. Purity does not end with the harvest of third density. The fidelity of Ra towards the attempt to remove distortions is total. This constitutes an acceptance of responsibility for service to others which is of relative purity. third-harvest.txt:84:1990/0506.txt:10:This is your glory and your power. You are an expression of consciousness. Your consciousness is made up of two things, that which we call love, or the one original Thought, that is to say, the Creator Itself, and that primary principle of free will. Without the introduction of free will the universe would be infinite and intelligent, but it would not be conscious of itself. You have been cast forth as a sower broadcasts the seeds of a garden. Within you, without knowing articulately, you are a certain kind of seed. All begin with this basic seed-nature. During the course of incarnation upon incarnation you begin to become aware in an unique way of your own consciousness. Although this is merely a recapitulation of that realization which is the harvestability of second density into third, we emphasize it again and again to you in this context. Your turning to the light, your yearning for love and acceptance, and your more mature yearning to be loving and be compassionate are such deep portions of your mind that, shall we say, the metaprogram of your existence is based upon this nature. trust.txt:16:1981-ra-contact/049.txt:42:Meanwhile the Creator lies within. In the north pole the crown is already upon the head and the entity is potentially a god. This energy is brought into being by the humble and trusting acceptance of this energy through meditation and contemplation of the self and of the Creator. trust.txt:119:1989/0212.txt:59:I’ve [been] listening to this and having a lot of thoughts about the neurolinguistic programming model that I’ve been using with myself and with other people. It seems to accelerate this process of self-acceptance and forgiveness of self and others very effectively and beautifully. And I don’t know exactly what question I have about it, accept to ask if you have knowledge of this learning and of how it can best be used and shared, if it might be a valuable thing to share with Carla in relation with her work with other people and her own family, and just in particular, suggestions that would be pertinent to me, as I learn and, one of the—I think that I’ve noticed a certain amount of caution in my approach to sharing this, because it seems to be a very powerful way, and I’m aware of just wanting to be in tune if I’m going to be using that, and in a way I think I think that I need to know more and more to be, I guess, skillful at using it, and yet, listening, I know that I can trust, in fact, do when I work with people, in my prayers and my meditations to be a channel, as I work, for the service of that person, and that what I consciously learn, what I’ve consciously learned to aid in this is always going to be assisted by a power and a knowing beyond that, an ability to help beyond whatever I’ve learned. I don’t know if that’s a question clear enough to be answered or not, or do I need to be more succinct about the question? I asked one earlier, but then I kept talking. trust.txt:157:1989/1126.txt:43:I am Q’uo. My brother, we were not speaking of such, but rather were speaking of the work entailed in moving beyond the surface consciousness to the deeper and more trustworthy wisdom that lies deep within the self. We do not ask you to surrender to any outer authority. We ask you only to surrender to that portion of yourself that you have found to be imperishable, worthy, beautiful and able to manifest the fruits of an unconditional love which is your birthright, which moves through you from a deep place of self-acceptance within. trust.txt:167:1990/0318.txt:22:You are treasures, you are gems. Trust the process of limitation and loss to show forth to yourself, to the world and to all whom you may serve, all whom you may meet, that beautiful gem hidden within, that many-faceted, amazingly wondrous, youthful self. May you shine through that Earthly vessel. May you use misfortune in joy. May you drop away that which is busyness without undue fear, but with love and acceptance, and may you accept each change through the pain, through the difficulty of change, in perfect faith that all is well and all will be well, and you are fearless, holding up the light of consciousness to a world hungry for consciousness and far too full of the awareness of its own clay. trust.txt:202:1990/1125.txt:41:However, we must add that the most important ingredient in this relationship and process of mirroring is the acceptance each of the other so that there is no need for change to occur for the entity to be accepted. When this level of trust has been established the foundation work has been accomplished and the structure of the relationship then may be built upon this firm foundation, and when there are difficulties that arise within the relationship, as most assuredly they will as a part of the playing out of catalyst, it is well for each to remind the other that the foundation of the relationship is acceptance, that is, not conditional, and which is all-embracing. trust.txt:216:1991/0224.txt:18:Self-knowledge can also be called self-acceptance. Self-acceptance can also be called self-forgiveness. Self-forgiveness can also be called self-redemption. Within you lies all these things. Not because you are a wise and powerful being, but because the self is one with the Creator. Would you suggest to the Creator that It may be having a bad day? Would you berate the Creator for having roses grow from gravel? It is not likely that one who is not hit by outward catastrophe would find reasons to blame the Creator for that which is occurring to one. Thusly, as the realization begins to dawn through immediate experience that the Creator is truly within, that all lore and love flow through rather than from the self, the entity who wishes to channel is more and more able to invest in that tenuous quality called faith or trust. trust.txt:219:1991/0301_01.txt:8:Especially when outward circumstances seem murky and turgid with heavy cares, the seeker will find those cares lifted so easily away simply by remembering to reach out the hand to the friendship of the sanctified Christ. Now that sanctified presence is truly within each seeker, as is all the universe. You are the creator of your particular creation, and co-Creator with infinite Intelligence of that which is experienced and how it is experienced. Although you cannot be another’s creation, you cannot help but be the creator of your own. So, in making the choices from moment to moment, do not let your heart flag or falter because you are alone; for there is companionship more real than the manifested forms of your density, ever waiting for your simple recognition and acceptance. How loved all entities are! Yet without the intention to reach out in trust for that love, an entity may walk forever in a fog of self-created solitude. trust.txt:227:1991/0303_02.txt:47:There is one further thing I would say here. So often you seem to hear two voices within you. One, that comes from the heart, is a voice of love, and one, that we would call the voice of the brain or of reason, is often a voice of fear. You have one voice within you that asks you to trust yourself and trust others, to allow yourself to open, to cherish that beautiful self within as a bud, bringing it into the sunlight of your love. And then there is the voice of fear, and it says, “Well I have work to do on myself. Maybe I’m not ready for a relationship.” Do you see the excuses there? Can you see the avoidance? There is always work to do on oneself, no matter how evolved you become. You are never complete but always in progress. Do you wait for perfection? Can you begin to see that it is the voice of fear that suggests that you wait and to ask yourself with some compassion, “What am I afraid of? What is this fear?”—not to track it down analytically as it grows out of this or that event of childhood, but to begin to see all the anger and lack of self-acceptance behind it and to relate to that with love and compassion? trust.txt:246:1992/0410.txt:50:Go higher! This is work best done when one is, as this instrument would say and as we trust you soon shall be, “full of beans,” and not for those days when, like the cloudy, pearly skies, you feel muted and reflective. However, this technique makes a welcome and energizing change to the endless repetitions of analysis, understanding and acceptance of experience. It is a leap of blind, pure faith from immediate experience to immediate acceptance. Only choose this option when it is honestly within your abilities. trust.txt:380:1998/0920.txt:4:You have requested that we speak upon acceptance, and that we are most pleased to do as long as it becomes and remains clear to each of you that we are not the voice of authority but your brothers and sisters, imperfect, as are you in any sense that can be rationally understood. We make mistakes. We have opinions. We share the opinions and hope not to share the mistakes but undoubtedly we shall make mistakes. Not all of our opinions shall be those that will aid you and so we ask, as always, that you use your discrimination and trust your guidance within to the exclusion of other voices when necessary. For we have utter faith that you shall know the truth that is for you. As long as that is understood we are delighted to talk about acceptance. trust.txt:461:2002/1219_01.txt:8:Not all things in life are requirements as far as the school of living is concerned. As a classroom, the curriculum of Earth is simple: it is love. There are lessons in how to love, in how to accept love from others. These lessons may have to do with loving without expectation of return or, in many cases, learning to accept love without expectation of debt or guilt. As the one known as J has pointed out, it is often far easier to serve and to love without expectation of return than to accept the love offerings of others as a worthy and honorable person. The lesson of acceptance of love is keyed, therefore, to those who are dealing with exceptional clarity in seeing the landscape of their own imperfection. Consequently, that entity which is working upon opening the heart to being worthy of love is also working upon lessons that are linked to the distortion of feeling unworthy. The service of the inner type, as each in this group is aware, is the more central service, since it works upon the soul of the planet, the soul of the entity, and the soul of the group entity that is the self and those other selves that are even now becoming more and more able to form the basic structure of trust and sharing that is the foundation for fourth-density shared memory. trust.txt:645:2017/0218.txt:16:But, there is not a template that you can put over all catalyst to give you the roadmap to what is negative and what is positive. In general, if you feel that in your response, you are able to experience and express the open heart, you are on fairly safe ground we feel. But the open heart is a most elusive phenomenon, because you can set out to express hope, joy, and love, and yet find that the very qualities which you have consciously embraced and have sought to bring to expression are received in a way that either rejects these qualities, or rejects your particular expression of them. And now what do you do, my friends? How do you respond to this rejection. Do you respond by rejecting the rejection, or do you respond by further accepting the catalyst that the one you have engaged with has to offer you? This can be tricky terrain, my friends, for you do well to know something about yourself while traveling these winding roads. For example, it may be that you will encounter a limit to your capacity to express and sustain positivity in an interaction, and under these circumstances, it can be well, politely to withdraw. It may be that you feel up to the task of taking upon yourself the role of one who absorbs the negativity offered by another and transmutes that negativity to positive effect, so that your response does not seem to be a rejection, but seems rather to be an acceptance of what the other has felt the need to express. In the case of the other with whom you have essentially a loving relationship, this process can prove to be very helpful for both parties. In the case of the other with whom there is not a baseline effect of trust, this process can be baffled in its root. And so, we would not deny that there are occasions where the better part of wisdom is to keep your own counsel. We will not deny that there are cases in which the better part of wisdom is to mind your own energies such that you are able to keep them in balance in reserve for those occasions in which they might be deployed in a manner that has promise in your best ability to ascertain. trust.txt:652:2021/0219.txt:29:These seemingly dual or paradoxical uses of will, wherein one seeks a goal versus accepts what is presented, may be framed and approached in a variety of ways—one of which we would submit for your consideration is as something of a continuum, whereby one mode transitions into the other by that faculty made possible through acceptance, which is perhaps taken to an even higher level, which you might call trust or faith. trust.txt:653:2021/0219.txt:30:For in the personal use of will, which the Creator hopes that you will exercise in your choice-making journey, the more that you can set the will to the vibration and practice of acceptance, the more that your own will blends with the one will. And [if] trust [is exercised] that that which you are experiencing is the fruit of your personal will, then that which is reflected back to you—particularly and especially the difficult and challenging catalyst, the limitations, and the pain—is, shall we say, [understood to be] the universe working for you. [It is] the intelligent, responsive, adaptive illusion providing you the material that you wanted; on a fundamental level, material that is shaped by preincarnational bias and imprinting, and then continued with the exercise of the incarnate will. trust.txt:666:2021/1118.txt:41:It is necessary to evolve the thinking of the mind and refine its patterns to make use of this tool, to engage in deep and considerate contemplation upon spiritual inquiry, to lift the mind from its circular ruts. There is much, much work to do in that department, and it is through silence that the seeker opens the door to that which is beyond the mind, that to which mind and body must surrender in humble acceptance and trust, in order to receive, in order to enter, in order to be made holy and transmuted into the sacramental that the self may go beyond this limit-making machine that is the mind, this comparing and contrasting and categorizing and analyzing device that helps the seeker to touch into that which cannot now nor ever be described. trust.txt:693:2023/0114.txt:63:We would say that an important aspect to this is the trust [that] one may practice and hone in this incarnation, in this illusion. That fragility, as you term it, is at once a construct and fleeting. No entity is defined by moments of fragility. In fact, seekers, all entities are defined by their moments of strength, of faith, of acceptance, and of love. So, having the strength to speak, to seem fragile, is a most pure, vibrant, bright expression of light. And though it may feel uncomfortable and foreign to do so in this illusion, we affirm that it is a healing modality. To witness it, to see it for what it is, to face it head on, and to love it for what it gives you–what lessons are entailed and entangled. trust.txt:704:2023/0909.txt:51:There is a balance as ever between the work of conscious exercise of the will and the work of surrender and acceptance and trust of what is; of what wishes to move through one; of what wishes to make itself known to one. The self which embarks upon this work with what it may conceive as a master plan or formula may find some limited success, shall we say, in this work, for it is ever a dance between this conscious work and this deeper inner listening and sensitivity. trust.txt:708:2023/0928.txt:36:It is this journey through which surrendering is developed. For underneath this resistance and lack of acceptance is a distrust or a mistrust. In the moonlit environment, the world about one as the self perceives this environment in the veiled condition, seems, to use our previous descriptors, alien and threatening—perhaps out to take something from yourself, perhaps out to diminish the self in some way, perhaps out to use the self. Thus, develops a distrust and mistrust that resists, that protects, that creates misalignment, that creates suffering, that perpetuates the illusion. trust.txt:709:2023/0928.txt:37:To see that moonlit environment more clearly, faith, acceptance, trust, surrender, these associated qualities must be exercised first. There are times of revelation and illumination whereby the moonlit environment is revealed. Where one understands that that was not a demon at one side, shall we say, but this instrument has the image of a rather large, friendly mushroom; in other words, something benign if not benevolent. Something natural and part of the environment that was mistaken to be something sinister or threatening in the shadow. trust.txt:725:2023/1121.txt:68:It, for the positive entity, can be [a] practice to keep the heart always open and alive and accepting, always beginning with acceptance. Even if the other-self is indeed seeking to deceive and manipulate the self, the positive polarity always begins with acceptance: accepting in its heart the nature of the other-self, whatever their negatively oriented outward activities; releasing resistance in the trust and the faith that, in the limitations and imperfections of this particular situation is an emanation of the divine light distorted in various degrees. trust.txt:733:2024/0427.txt:50:Perhaps what we are meaning to convey through this instrument is that faith and trust in one’s self and in the creation are helpful lenses to discern what one is experiencing and where energy flows through oneself. Additionally, they are helpful tools for discerning where one may need greater amounts of acceptance and understanding and forgiveness. trust.txt:735:2024/0427.txt:62:Now, we do not say that with the voice of a forecaster, for you hold, we correct this instrument, for you have your hands upon the steering wheel. We simply mean that this experience is one that is quite pregnant with opportunity. And that, ultimately, the inputs are in your hands to see what grows from it. Again, the trust and faith, love and acceptance for this experience may be the opening up the door for deeper understanding. veil_forget.txt:16:1992/0816.txt:10:It is much more difficult to look for the heart of the dilemma. To gaze not at the topology and chronology of the disharmony but rather to penetrate the illusion to move by faith alone through the veil of forgetting. And to by faith ask for help from the world of the spiritual on the level of those things which are not seen. The workings of the heart are not seen. The self-acceptance or lack of it is not seen. The love or hunger for love in relationships is not seen. Circumstances only are seen. There is, my friends, a reason for this. The design is to so baffle, frustrate and confuse the intellect with all the data of the senses that the student will be forced to move the center of investigatory energy from the intellectual mind, which is a creature of this illusion only, to the wisdom of the deep mind, which is vastly more informed and which resides in what you would call the heart energy center. This center is the gateway center wherein, when the lower energies have been cleared, the gate becomes opened so that you can effectively focus the heart’s wisdom upon the situation you wish balanced within you. veil_forget.txt:173:2021/0819.txt:6:These are the prime building blocks, shall we say, of a life pattern. So when you are criticized for not living up to the best of what you are able to do, or should be doing in another’s eyes, it begins to shake the foundation of one’s being, until one must contemplate the basic quality that constitutes one’s being. And we would suggest to you, my friends, that you, and your other selves of the family, are portions of the One Infinite Creator that has placed itself in every portion of the universe around you, in every entity that you know, and have ever met, or shall ever meet, or shall never meet, for the Creator is within all things for the very purpose of coming to know more about itself. And you, as representatives of this One Creator, carry out this same mission under the most difficult of circumstances, with the veil of forgetting hiding the basic nature of the creation as being that of unity—hiding it so effectively that you are easily convinced that there is something other than the One Creator that is the foundation of your being, that you are providing the Creator with ways in which it might know itself better with more intensity, and variety, and purity. Whatever your choices that you make, you cannot fail in that responsibility, the ability to respond as the Creator. So, how do you make the most effective response to those criticisms and allegations that suggest that you are less than what you should be—less than the Creator? We would suggest that within each entity’s heart, the green-ray energy center, is the ability to tap into the wisdom of the heart, which we would suggest is that type of love and acceptance of others that does not place any condition upon freely giving that love. veil_of_forgetting.html:25:The self-acceptance or lack of it is not seen. The love or hunger for love in relationships is not veil_of_forgetting.tex:61:1992/0816.txt:10:It is much more difficult to look for the heart of the dilemma. To gaze not at the topology and chronology of the disharmony but rather to penetrate the illusion to move by faith alone through the veil of forgetting. And to by faith ask for help from the world of the spiritual on the level of those things which are not seen. The workings of the heart are not seen. The self-acceptance or lack of it is not seen. The love or hunger for love in relationships is not seen. Circumstances only are seen. There is, my friends, a reason for this. The design is to so baffle, frustrate and confuse the intellect with all the data of the senses that the student will be forced to move the center of investigatory energy from the intellectual mind, which is a creature of this illusion only, to the wisdom of the deep mind, which is vastly more informed and which resides in what you would call the heart energy center. This center is the gateway center wherein, when the lower energies have been cleared, the gate becomes opened so that you can effectively focus the heart’s wisdom upon the situation you violet-ray-large.txt:50:1992/0409.txt:87:[footnote start]Holy Bible, Exodus 3:14.↩[footnote end][footnote start]JHVH, Jahweh or Jehovah is a name of mystery supposedly given to Moses on Mt. Sinai. The definitions Q’uo suggests for this unpronounceable name are some of those translations of JHVH given by theologians.↩[footnote end][footnote start]Q’uo uses the expression “our permission” figuratively and light-heartedly.↩[footnote end][footnote start]Aaron is referring to the chakras or rays of the energy body. This body interpenetrates the physical body during our lifetime. The Chinese call this body the electrical body. Acupuncture is based on working with this body. The chakras are points of energy focus that run from the base of the spine to the top of the head. There are seven rays, the colors of the rainbow, red through violet. Red is the first ray and has to do with survival and sexuality. Orange ray has to do with personal relationships. Yellow ray has to do with one’s relationship to groups such as your family and work environment. Green ray is the heart chakra and has to do with loving unconditionally. Blue ray is the chakra of communication and acceptance. Indigo ray is the chakra of work in consciousness. Violet ray is a report on the whole of the energy body; a kind of read-out. Aaron is suggesting that one move from the use of the will and “should” in yellow ray to the use of love in green ray.↩[footnote end] violet-ray-large.txt:112:2017/0506.txt:27:The red-ray energy center being that which deals with the survival of the entity and the sexual reproduction of the entity, its survival, shall we say, as a species. The orange ray being that individual or emotional idiosyncrasy that is expressed in a one-to-one relationship with another being. The yellow ray being that group expression of energies that the wanderer has involved itself in. The green ray being the opening of the heart energy center, and the experience of universal love, being able to both give and receive that love. The throat chakra being that freely given communication or inspiration and acceptance of other selves. The indigo ray energy center being that energy of the adept, the magical personality and its state of beingness, of the sense of the Creator as intelligent energy. The violet ray being that center which reflects the overall balance of all the energy centers. yellow-ray.txt:66:1990/0615.txt:15:The attitudes involve a give and take of energies and an acceptance of patterns and behavior and a feeling which comes upon one as from a source which is larger than one, and which seems to be other than one. To deal effectively with the balancing of the yellow ray one must accept that the illusion in which one deals is as it should be, and one must accept the gift that the illusion offers in the form of the particular experience which is one’s own. When this experience has been assimilated and accepted, the possibility of moving into relation to the energies of the green-ray center becomes established.
