This is an unusual session for various reasons. To begin with, the question posed at the beginning does not ask about spiritual implications, and it is, well, unusual.
What’s the point of bad moods for human beings?
Second, this is the only time – so far as I can tell – that “t’Michael’h” has spoken through an LLR channel. This is an entity-group of the inner planes which is 3D, harvestable to 4D, which is most unusual for a channeling contact., and they are not of the Confederation. This puts them very close to our situation, but well beyond us as you can read for yourself.
They specialize in studying the power of polarity, which is also curious. So, what they share here is what they have learned about refining polarity. Personal moods, in short, fall outside of dedicated experience of the power of polarity, they suggest. You are either working for what created you or you are on a sidetrack,from an indigo-ray point of view, is how I would paraphrase it. Obviously, they could not have gotten to where they are without single pointed dedication.
This is their introduction to the subject of moods.
The seemingly inconsequential mood is as the shutting of a door, indeed, a shutting of two doors, the door to positive polarity and the door to negative polarity, for polarity consists in the acceptance of a certain job description, shall we say. That which is in between may be considered self-employment. The spiritual path is something that can be talked about endlessly. Great systems of theoretical discussion can be constructed, and yet if one does not become involved in a personal sense, the path remains outside of oneself.

Great systems of theoretical discussion can be constructed, and yet if one does not become involved in a personal sense, the path remains outside of oneself.
When one contemplates putting one’s feet upon the path or getting back upon the path when one has stopped to rest, it is well to view that which is ahead and count the cost. One would not go on a physical journey without checking the availability of that with which a traveler must be endowed before beginning the journey. One must have the supplies one needs, a coin for a bit of food, good shoes for the walking, and a warm blanket for the sleeping.
The spiritual journey is a very expensive journey, one which in metaphysical terms none of you can afford. In metaphysical terms, each entity is too poor to afford the undertaking of the spiritual journey from one’s own resources. It is a popular misconception in your culture that you can do anything. In a metaphysical sense, it is well to realize quickly that you are unequal to the task of transforming yourself, for that would be asking the purchase price of tools, the name of which you do not even know and the function of which you can only guess.
You see, my friends, you are stewards of consciousness, you do not own consciousness. The nature of consciousness is unknown to you, and will continue to be unknown to each of us. And yet that is the nature of your journey and your exploration. You will never have a map for this journey. You cannot buy it. And so how do people begin and maintain themselves upon this journey? For of course you know that you are on the journey, perhaps reluctantly, perhaps enthusiastically, perhaps intermittently, but on it, and basically committed to it.
In essence, when one accepts stewardship of consciousness, one accepts that one is working for another. Your salary is heightened consciousness, increased perception, and the pain, travail, peace and freedom of the road you wish to be on. In order to move along that road, it is well to acknowledge that you are working for that which is not within your conscious mind and not within your control. Polarity has as one of the secrets of its effectiveness the surrender to your employer—consciousness itself. Many have defined consciousness in another way and called it love or the Logos or the one original Thought.
To this you shall surrender if you wish to polarize, and in that surrender you shall find the ability to become a receiver of the knowledge that you need—not for tomorrow and not for yesterday—but for the present moment. Both those who polarize towards the positive of love for others and those who polarize towards the negative of love for self, surrender themselves to the consciousness that they not only are, but know not, and thus they become what they know not. And in becoming, know for the first time.
Now, my friends, when you are working for yourself, you may use your consciousness in many ways, and yet the more you exercise your will without asking for help, the less effective you will be until you lose contact with love and become only that which seems not good, not bad, not positive, not negative, but swayed by the cross currents of a shifting and uneasy sea of phantasmagorical appearances, and you become prey to all the minor ills of your illusion, and at the same time become less and less able to create a polarized alternative to what you feel and are in the illusion.
It is not a wrong thing or an evil thing to be as this instrument said—cranky, unhappy, irritable or angry. It is rather a waste of potential. Each of you has a certain amount of incarnational time. When you tire of carrying consciousness, you may choose to become distracted and indifferent. Yet, when you are healed, we suggest that you seek once again to know that which overshadows you, that which is the greater part of you, that which created you and that which empowers you.
[…]
Thus, if you find yourself at the mercy of what is often termed “moods,” realize that you are doing nothing wrongly; it is that you are not polarizing either towards radiance or towards magnetism but are instead allowing an impotence of consciousness to hold sway over the incredible potential of the present moment. We ask you never to be impatient when you find yourself in a bad mood, but to realize that the soul grows weary when it is out of tune, just as the stringed instrument makes a poor sound indeed when it has become unstrung. Never attempt to tighten the strings of perception with your own energy. Distract yourself while you are tired; allow yourself to sleep, and by sleep we mean not the physical sleep, but the sleep of one who does not carry the burden of consciousness, and when you are rested and ready to work, seek your employer, consciousness itself.
For you do not own your consciousness—it owns you. You are a fragment of a great consciousness and the struggle towards unity shall be long. And you who must be on your way will do well to turn to the source that has the provender, the outfitting, and the map for your journey. And when once again you open to the infinite consciousness that is available to you always and you are overshadowed by love, you will wonder why you stopped, why you shut away that awareness, why you put down your consciousness. Do not look back, but count yourself most fortunate to have turned again to the road ahead, to have emptied yourself of indifference and to be filled with the consciousness of life.
You are a people used to stimulation, and we suggest as a practical matter that when you become aware that you are impatient to take up consciousness once again and be on your journey, that you allow stimulus of a loving kind to replace casually received and uncontrolled stimulus. For it is difficult when one is stopped and caught in the illusion to listen to silence and be saved, though it happens quite frequently that consciousness comes in where there is any seeking at all, under the most adverse conditions.

And there is more.
