" The giving of yourself to the one infinite Creator is easier and easier as you go through the maturation process, for you are irresistibly drawn to that Creator out of simple devotion and the need to be ever closer to the source and ending of your identity. To be a servant of the world in which you live becomes ever easier as you grow more and more aware of who you truly are and become aware at an ever deeper level of what that means. Once you begin to have some idea of the richness of who you are, once you come into that open heart of self and feel your kinship with and eventual identity with the one infinite Creator, that very realization draws to you with increasingly simplicity and accuracy and rapidity…those moments when your open heart shines its truth and its light as a lighthouse shines its beacons over a stormy sea, helping others find their safe places and alerting them to the rocks and the reefs of error that are stumbling blocks before them. "
Metaphor time… like going on a adventure from home, at first its easy to turn back but further away you go its much clearer to keep going, you have traveled this far already, those thoughts that say otherwise become more an more background noise to the calling within…
In a nutshell…have confidence things get easier
There’s a great discussion on identify in that transcript… this part is handy disclaimer tho…
“When you speak of dropping from yourself those things that would keep you from being a more refined and real version of yourself, you are not actually speaking of dropping anything that is intrinsic to your identity; you’re speaking of dropping aspects of your personality shell for which you no longer feel that there is any use.”
"We would sum up the remarks that we had to give through the instrument known as Jim by reiterating that this is indeed a creation of unity, and that by acknowledging your place within this unity, you can come to see the entire creation as that which cooperates with you in your quest to bring your special gift to the centering agency of the creation, the unity itself, which is a moment for great rejoicing on the part of the One Infinite Creator. When you have learned to see those events which unfold around you as a portion of the Creator experiencing itself, you are indeed upon the path of positive polarization, and upon the path of spiritual growth of a rather high order. However, we would suggest to you that we are fully aware that not all of your experience will seem to be of a positive order of origination, and that many of the events that constitute your catalyst do indeed seem to be challenging to a degree that can throw you off balance and can leave you feeling as if you have been driven out of the Garden of Eden, so to speak, and left bereft in a cold and windswept world.
Now, these experiences too have their place and have meaning in the greater order of spirit, but they are of a nature that forces a realization for the spiritual seeker to the effect that the self that you have imagined yourself to be must very often be abandoned as no longer sustainable in the face of the catalyst you have no choice but to confront, a catalyst that you have no choice but to find some way to assimilate."
Now further to discussion from flofrog couldnt resist throwing in this too, from todays transcript.
"Now, the growth that you are familiar with are those productions of selfhood that, from a small child onward, you have learned to create. The net result being a sense of self, a sense of who you are that you are able to make be a sustainable vehicle for your mode of interacting with the world, your way of relating to others, and your pursuit of further spiritual development within this, what we might call, “envelope of being.”
Now, it is important to have an envelope of being, for the self that you are in the process of becoming has to it many tender shoots, many vulnerable appendages, and these can be easily damaged. These can be easily torn asunder by the harsh winds of catalyst. So it is well to keep in mind that you live within an envelope of your own creation, and that this envelope serves as a kind of membrane, if you will, that allows the outside to come in and the inside to express itself by moving without: the in, the out, the out within, and in this way, this to and fro motion, you find that not only are you able to experience events which transpire as if catalyst were coming entirely from without, but are also to engage in a process of interaction that guides the catalyst, shall we say, to a place that befits the catalyst within your own being such that just those portions of your being are receiving the stimulus that they need at that moment to unfold in the way that these portions of your being seem to need to unfold at this time. That is a process which, when it goes smoothly, is indeed blessed. And there are many, many experiences which each here in this circle of seeking have undergone that are revelant of blessings of this nature."
" Yes, you are in a physical vehicle and yes, you are deeply limited in your awareness by the heavy chemical nature of that physical vehicle. But within you, closer than your breathing, is your consciousness. That consciousness, unlike your brain, is common to all. It is the consciousness of love, the Logos, the one Creator. And when you relax and allow the “monkey mind,” as this instrument often calls the biocomputer with which you were born, that excellent choice maker and that slave driver—when you let that mind rest, the consciousness allows you to think differently, to see differently, to understand differently. As your moments of silence build your new awareness you gradually realize that you cannot function with only your mind. You must use your consciousness as well if you wish to advance or evolve within the body. "
"I am Latwii. My brother, your world is created to distract you, for it is created by those who populate it. Its various characteristics are the result of eons of effort on the part of its occupants to avoid that which you describe. Therefore, my brother, the first step that we would suggest is the attempt to remove oneself as much as possible from sources of distraction. When this has been accomplished, the act of that which you call meditation is that which we recommend, highly, for meditation is the tool with which the major and final distracter may be brought under control, that being your own brain. The experience of most on your planet to shut off, so to speak, the brain so as to listen is that this is a quite difficult undertaking, for the brain has been raised in the manner of an unruly dog which clamors constantly for attention and affection and will respond to the act of being ignored by redoubling its efforts to bring itself once again to your attention.
Therefore, my brother, if we were to recommend an effort for those of either polarity to undertake in their desire to progress, we would recommend the setting aside of a specific period of the day at the same time daily for the disciplining of this unruly child through meditation, that in its silence one might listen to that which is available."
Is it really ? the exact same word, membrane, exists in French with the same meaning so I took it as a very normal word but… lol perhaps it does sound odd !!!
I listened to the french pronunciation… even a word like that sounds alright in French… Reminds me of saying among Chefs, compared to English, a dish always sounds better if said in French
" …Faith…creates an area of control in all situations…How to lay hold upon that natural function? How to encourage it? We have often said that faith, when first chosen as a way of living, is nothing more than a leap into space. Faith creates itself in the mid-air, when the will of the seeker has been surrendered. That first so-called leap of faith is a beginning. It could be nothing more than the conscious decision, the promise to the self, “I will live by faith.” This is a good beginning.The will is invoked by such an affirmation. Each time the seeker subsequently [finds] itself mired in useless and cyclical worry the affirmation may be repeated, “I will live by faith.” Sooner or later there comes a moment when the repetition has bred a new and positive habit of mind and in that moment the seeker finds that she has skipped the usual habit of worry…That moment of peace is as precious as your rare metals and should be stored carefully in a special part of the memory… "
" Fourth density already exists. It is a very sound and healthy child. It is a new heaven and a new Earth. And it is being filled more and more each day with those who have ascended, in the natural way of things, from planet Earth through the gateway of death. It is the great hope of many energies and essences of your inner planes, such as your angels and your guardians, that each of you may enjoy a leisurely, organic and natural ascension through that gateway to larger life that is the physical death. "
" In the case of the opened heart, there is a simple or simplistic degree of selfhood or ego which is an essential part of the radiating form, for it blesses the light that is radiating forth from your heart. It is a very personal thing, although it has great overtones of impersonality as the open heart makes contact with the presence of the infinite One.Meditation through the gateway of intelligent infinity is impersonal. And so the great work of indigo ray is to move the self, very gently, out of the way and allow only the essence of desire to express the selfhood of the seeker. "
An there is the secret trick to working with indigo ray, ties to a quote I read recently(as in 1 day earlier) that has been playing on my mind…
“Living each moment as it is without obsession upon the stream of time and of becoming, because the self is embodying beingness, presence, aliveness and oneness”
Specifically “embodying beingness” ,… embodying which means "be an expression of or give a tangible or visible form . Without obsessing on becoming then comes in…
Now given that, here is the rest of the paragraph that leads to it
"But for that opening of spirit, the work upon the self, a great deal of it is typically required. The mind and body are not often born into this world in an integrated, focused, and disciplined configuration. It is only through the sustained exercise of will and faith, and the application of the practices of healing, of loving, and forgiving, that the mind and body make way for spirit.
And the deeper the work goes, the stronger becomes that channel; the more that becomes available to the self; the more that the mind and body become infused with spirit, such that, as we were describing previously, that alignment makes of the self an instrument for the One. The former layers of personal will emanating or arising from the lower chakras are no longer that which is propelling the entity or giving direction; rather the entity moves according to that which prompts the self within the silence of the present moment. Moves according to that which is needed in the present moment. Living each moment as it is without obsession upon the stream of time and of becoming, because the self is embodying beingness, presence, aliveness and oneness."
Its all in context tho… if you are still reading this an are eager for more, highly recommend reading that transcript!
Love this paragraph below too… the second one, however the first paragraph is nice too
…seek love and seek love again. Know the light and appreciate the light. Trust the course that your life is on. Embrace the opportunities of this moment. Seek to make use of your catalyst, and you, my friends, will find a decreasing of that illusion of separation and an increasing of the lived and felt sense of oneness. Knowing that everywhere you turn each thing with which you come into contact, every aspect of your life and all the lives that you could possibly experience is none other than this One. You are in it. You are it. You are the One. You are all the One.
Accept this. Open your hearts and love this and sing with the creation as the creation and the Creator sing with you, and sing in praise of you and your journey however far you may have wandered—wandered not from your space/time geographical home, but from your heart, our prodigal children."
Can feel much emotion embedded in that “our prodigal children” thank you Q’uo.
Thank you Quan!!! So many awesome q’uotes: “ The former layers of personal will emanating or arising from the lower chakras are no longer that which is propelling the entity or giving direction; rather the entity moves according to that which prompts the self within the silence of the present moment.”
Lao Tzu:
The Tao is always at ease.
It overcomes without competing,
answers without speaking a word,
arrives without being summoned,
accomplishes without a plan.
Its net covers the whole universe.
And though its meshes are wide,
it doesn’t let a thing slip through
Heres a snippet towards the end…which makes more sense on a deeper level if reading the earlier parts!
“This is partly why we, the Confederation, speak so often to the purification and the setting of the intention and the becoming conscious of the intention; and why it is intention that is first and foremost important, for this is your primary mechanism of communication with that intelligent universe. It is your statement to the universe as to which direction you would like to steer the ship of self and what destination it is that you seek.”
And
“Then, as we were speaking through the one known as Kathy, one can have faith that that which is needed for the self will be delivered, you might say, to the self. And the stronger and hotter one burns with that intention, the more one disciplines and makes the intention more consistent, more single-minded, more enduring, the stronger will be the power coming into the system flowing through the south pole, to rise upward and meet with the inner light—the Polaris of self, the inward fire.”
" In [fourth] density, the density of love and understanding, the atmosphere is one of 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. However, the interplay betwixt love and fear continues in fourth density…as light is brought into the darkness [and] it reveals more subtle patterns of 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. "
"That which is the Creator is that which equally creates and destroys. To the Creator, the two are part of one process. There is a dynamic between light and dark, creation and destruction, love and fear, and so forth. It is one of the powerful dynamics that are a part of the illusion which you now enjoy.It is perhaps easier to see this destructive and creative aspect when one examines…the life cycle of an animal within your second density. There are portions of that cycle in which the animal involved is growing…[and] portions…in which the animal is food for another animal. Yet the entirety of the creation is harmonious.…It is to be seen that this is all a perfectly acceptable part of the dance of life in which entities eat food and are food in their turn. As your body dies it shall be food for worms…[which then] makes it a part of the Earth once again and the cycle of that particular body is complete: dust to dust, ashes to ashes. "
The transcript I referenced few days earlier… there is a discussion on this in another manner which starts going traction about 1/3 of the way down.
"You are the glory which the Creator could only realize by reflection, you are the manifest of that which is and always shall be unmanifest, and while you are manifest you are not only Creator and co-creator but also creation and the Creator finds you lovely. "
Aww a nice sweet ending to todays quote
Well heres some more…
“We ask you, my friends, to allow all those concepts which you may be learning to become seated in your consciousness by the process and discipline of regular meditation. We encourage the daily meditation, for seeking within without words is analogous to returning once again to the truth that all men are created equal, for you move into that portion of your being which is co-equal not only with your brothers and sisters, but with the Creator. And it is in this portion of your being that learning shall be seated or it shall be lost. That which skips along the top of the water does not influence the deep. Let that which you are learning sink, as the stone shall do when it ceases its headlong flight across the top of the waves.”
" It is thought by some that if people would stop shooting at each other that we would have peace. And yet we say to you that it is not as simple as that…If one stops doing that, then what does one do instead? At least aggression against a certain and very specific nation-state or group of entities is a limited and achievable battle and at the end of it one can say such and such has been achieved, and now there is peace. And yet we say to you, like love itself, peace is beyond all condition. Peace does not originate within conditions. Peace is a quality that is waiting for each third-density entity to take it and claim it as his own, his very own, a wonderful, blessed possession. Yet how many entities truly seek the peace within their own hearts which comes from stopping the striving and encouraging the resting in what is? How many entities truly embrace peace if peace involves releasing many other things which are dear? "
Well the first sentence, isnt that a start to todays quote! The last few sentences certainly reshape and enhance the definition of what peace can be…
Reminds me of the Bhagavad Gita (spoiler alert sorry) may seem lke its talk about external war but really about internal peace…
The Bhagavad Gita commentary by Lahiri Mahasaya, may not all reasonate but does talk extensively about this how each character in the war is symbolic of the internal peace…
Heres a little part…
Entire war inner war is between two sentiments the seeker in his or her heart: namely Kauravas family -negative side, sincere kriya practice expecting results (from spiritual seeking)
Pandavas family - positive side, abandoning the expectations for the results of this practice. (from spiritual seeking)
Read this many years ago, had a copy still lying around…
It is certainly an epic external battle tho… thinking back to the past of the India tv series Mahabharat, 1988! I remember a friend because he was from India had the copy of all of it, after each episode or two we would discuss it, as he was very familar with it an I was new to it at that time(had not read any of it until after), I am smiling just thinking about the show an those epic talks- was very intense show!
As it acts in the world, the Tao
is like the bending of a bow.
The top is bent downward;
the bottom is bent up.
It adjusts excess and deficiency
so that there is perfect balance.
It takes from what is too much
and give to what isn’t enough.
Those who try to control,
who use force to protect their power,
go against the direction of the Tao.
They take from those who don’t have enough
and give to those who have far too much.
The Master can keep giving
because there is no end to her wealth.
She acts without expectation,
succeeds without taking credit,
and doesn’t think that she is better
than anyone else.
