17.1 You will find a sharp increase in the number of people, as you call mind/body/spirit complexes, whose vibrational potentials include the potential for fourth-vibrational distortions. Thus, there will seem to be, shall we say, a new breed. These are those incarnating for fourth-density work.

“Let us now gaze at the concept of prana or breath. Your creation and mine is a plenum, a vast infinity completely full of that light which is life itself in first manifestation. To breathe this prana-filled plenum of air is to breathe in oneself the primal love of the Creator. To exhale is to exhale all that within which is to be eschewed, eliminated and cast away. Other organs do this for the solid food and drink which entities upon your planet enjoy. The careful, intentional breathing, on the other hand, deals with catching up the stress and stale thought, the tired emotion and keen sorrow of the day.”
And to continue onwards and onwards to the the next destination of quotes to unravel greater meaning, and in this case also a bonus exercise to perform…
Thus, to breathe is to inhale life itself; to exhale is to deliver oneself of the past, so that always it is an helpful exercise to breathe intentionally, taking great draughts of life-filled prana into the lungs, into every cell of the body, and then with every hope bent towards the successful completion of this exercise, to breathe out all those dark and stale experiences of the day, with each breath gaining in light and being lifted up from the darkness created within one’s own heart, emotions, mind, spirit.
It is especially helpful to have a safe and secure place within which to do this exercise, and it is recommended by us that those who wish to do this intentional breathing incorporate this exercise within the meditative period, perhaps at the beginning, as a kind of visualized mantra. For that which is done with the physical body, highly positive though that thing may be, is completely subject to the free will of yourself. You may breathe in all the air you wish and breath out again, but if the desire and visualization is not there and if there is no meditative state within which to anchor and ground this experience, the breathing will remain for you, as perhaps other things have, a kind of spiritual playtoy to take out and examine and then put away again."
The whole transcript is created in relation to a question on the concept of “Breatharianism”.
Wait, wait hold back a moment I just hit submit the post, now just have to edit again just had to point out this very nice way of words "spiritual playtoy "

" We do not suggest a grand program of changing the world in order to achieve a more loving Earth world. Rather we suggest that you confine your work to your own consciousness. That is your true arena of adventure and challenge. "
Ahhh yes its does not have the glamour and shine in terms of world thinking what service is… but then that is thinking after all…

“Now, the more the discomfort is resisted the harsher the discomfort. As we are on the journey of the mind and the spirit you shall constantly be changing and transforming because of your experiences. These changes are uncomfortable and, therefore, there is pain. To the extent that you cooperate with these energies of transformation, then to this extent the discomfort may not breed fear. You can look at the suffering and say, “I must be changing pretty well,” but if you need the fear, allow it. There is nothing wrong with protecting your delicate and sensitive inner self. It is possible to allow this fear and then try just a little less fear, and then a little less, and move slowly, supporting the self, not discouraging the self by railing against the lack of courage or railing against destiny for the discomfort which change brings.”
Its always best to use ones own discernment, what feels right to oneself. "
“Now, the more the discomfort is resisted the harsher the discomfort.” often when possibles its good to contemplate or put into practice what you read, for instance the above give it a go the next time you feel discomfort for as often the case im sitting in a meditative position and getting the ‘pins and needles’ feeling or leg going asleep but right now im not resisting it at all but if I start doing so well its begins to get uncomfortable and unpleasant… so I can then not resist it again and its not noticeable again…now resist again and same thing happens, this can go on endlessly almost.
Attempt to support and refresh your own self in your pilgrimage just as you would any friend. Attempt not the courage but the lack of discouragement. When you feel discouraged, find that portion of your spirit which cradles you and comforts you, and allow that comfort to fill and calm the rough seas, the rough seas of emotional pain. Then simply open your eyes and gaze upon that manifestation which barely hides the imminent glory of the one infinite Creator.
"Attempt not the courage but the lack of discouragement. "
Now bringing back to the example above, you can attempt to have courage in the discomfort, how is that working? Now instead frame it as the lack of discouragement. Discouragement being " an attempt to prevent something by showing disapproval or creating difficulties" So if you tried it and have discomfort in whatever shape or form then keep it mind and experiment with it, see the difference. Of course it helps more if you are in a more meditative state to practice it until you it becomes more natural.
By seemingly error, hitting a button this quote popped up… so I will keep it here too because having a read of it talks on strengthening the will which aligns with the above discussion.
“Those qualities which strengthen your will are the qualities which meet whatever your pure desire is. If you look within your meditative state, or your contemplative state, or your prayerful state to the nature of your heart, what it is that you feel is truly worthwhile—towards that will you focus your will. If you wish to improve your will, look toward what you truly desire, then exercise your will. Much as any mental or physical muscle, it may be strengthened by exercise, but exercise in what direction? In the direction of that which fulfills your heart, that which expresses your heart’s desire, that which can answer those questions of who you are, why you are here, and how it is you shall live your life. When you can answer these questions to your own satisfaction—realizing you may not find the final answer at first, but use whatever answers you find to fuel your practice of will, your exercise of will, your focus of will—then you put your will in service to the highest and best that you can feature within your own consciousness. This is our recommendation to you for how to exercise the will and to use it in a strengthened fashion, shall we say.”

" Once you have meditated—frustratingly or pleasantly makes no difference—for long enough to perceive yourself differently than you did before you began to meditate, you will begin to experience outward changes in your perceptions. This is due to the fact that contact with the essence of love, the one original Thought of the Creator, causes a continuing shift in the point of view. The method of evaluation of data becomes far more regularized and polarized towards valuing those things which are considered to be of service to others and to the Creator and devaluing those things which are seen as unethical or service to self. "
Yes so throw self criticism of how you perceive mediation to be out the window… here is more reason why
"You will find many wars going on within yourself during this period and it is as though everything that you did know methodically becomes torn away. This is a necessary and a continuing part of the spiritual path, for distortions are all that we notice. It is difficult for the critical consciousness to perceive complete regularity in an infinite configuration. No, my friends, each of us notices peculiarities, and it is by emphasizing certain dynamic tensions that polarity itself takes place.
And so, you may go through a short or lengthy period during which you are seeking with your mind and your heart, you are offering yourself to meditation, and things basically are falling apart for you. If this does not happen to you in at least a small way, if you are not reevaluating your point of view after a certain amount of time, as you call it, meditating, it is perhaps for you to meditate a little bit longer or a little bit more regularly. Perhaps you have a high tolerance for the illusion and to awaken from it may take a little more."
So as the journey of meditation in life continues… here is further tips especially preincarnative planning is a major factor in it.
“In no way become discouraged because this may be so, for your intent will bring you that which you desire. The only variable is what you call time, and there are mysteries in each entity’s life pattern having to do with the higher self’s choice of lessons to be learned in any incarnation which may prohibit the apparent perception of enlightenment. Be patient with yourself at all times. Ask of yourself only that you be faithful once you have decided to seek the truth”
And of course this question may pop up, well it probably has for anyone especially in the earlier stages of meditation…
No, thank you, that cleared that up. Well, one other question. I know this has been asked before, but let me ask it one more time. What is the best technique for meditation?
Q’uo
I am Q’uo, and in this regard, my brother, we would have no specific meditational technique to offer above all others, for each shall find a particular way of seeking in the meditative state which shall be more efficacious than others. Yet the variety of choices is large. Each choice, however, to be most efficacious, in our opinion needs to be based upon the great desire to seek what you may call the truth within each portion of one’s life, and then in a particular portion of the daily experience choose to reflect the light which one has received back to the Creator in a manner of communing with the one Creator which will allow the seeker then to become aware of the essence of all things within the life pattern.
That is, in the process and state of meditation, one begins to become aware of the unity of love which binds all things and which moves all experiences in intricate patterns which then offer the lessons of love to those of your illusion. The desire, then, to seek the heart of the life pattern is that desire which is most helpful to propel one into the meditative state, no matter what technique of meditation is chosen."
And finally a sub part of this discussion…
" Although the meditator progresses along the path towards enlightenment, could he experience this transformation as possibly deep depression at times?
Q’uo
I am Q’uo, and we bring to this instrument’s mind the image of the elephant which is perceived by the blind man, each portion of the elephant seeming different from the other, yet each portion being a portion of one entity or concept. The concept of enlightenment has many avenues of entry, shall we say. The journey towards its realization moves through mountains and valleys, across deserts and through jungles. At one time or in one experience, the seeker may perceive a portion of the entirety which is radiant with light, and the life experience is lifted high into that light. At another portion of the experience or the journey the seeker may find it necessary to move into the lower or darker regions where the valley of the shadow of darkness as it is called may be that which consumes the seeker’s attention and seems the totality of its experience.
Yet each of these extremes, shall we say, and all points between are portions of one journey, and together may be seen as the entirety of that which shall be the total experience of a seeker throughout your third density illusion in order that each seeker may be provided with those opportunities for learning which are most appropriate with the current needs of that seeker."

" We hear you speaking of the desire to serve, the desire to give of the self to others and to the planetary energy, and we applaud that hope and that energy, for each of you was indeed careful to include unique gifts in the personality that you chose for this incarnation. And it is wise to seek out one’s gifts and to find ways to use them in the service of others. "

" You are the only you that ever was and ever will be. But you are nested into your soul stream along with all of the “you’s” that you have created in many blooming incarnations. You are a full garden of beings in one…And this is nested into your being a part of Earth itself, the tribe of Earth which you became when you took flesh and laced your soul carefully into the substance of the mind, the body, and the spirit…And all of this is nested into order of magnitude after order of magnitude, until you are the one infinite Creator. All is run not simply from the top down but from the tiniest iota of being upwards. And each iota of that universe of the creation contains the creation within it."

" …In each situation where an entity has to repeat that particular lesson, whatever it is, again and again, the message is clear. This is something that we need to pay great respect and attention to and to sit with and to welcome as a friend. For this friend has something to teach us. Perhaps it may sit at our campfire with us for a long time. Perhaps it shall be the entire incarnation. Perhaps it shall be a month or a year. Whatever that time is, be hospitable and welcome that time. We simply encourage each not to go faster than the wheels will turn. The need here is not for any rate of speed but rather for the self in the daily moment to be paying attention and attempting to do those things that are felt by that entity to be important at this particular time. "

“So, let us say this: there are indeed emotions, and anger perhaps is amongst the most prominent among them, that if reinforced, if embraced, if built upon, if made the focus and the pivot of a commitment, can, in the fullness of time, lead to a polarization toward the negative that is of an harvestable quality. However, we would point out that anger, in its random expressions—anger as hostility as you suggest in demonstrations—you do not have the kind of focused service-to-self development that even remotely approaches harvestable quality. In fact, outbursts of this kind tend to characterize individuals who, in the root choice have already tended toward service to others but are having difficulty in manifesting that choice in a consistent fashion, in a fashion that reaches down to the root of their being.”
This transcript is talking about well in these passages that service to self often is not very easily identifiable as one may think…especially for those who are polarised which is a paradox in itself.
"We would like to say, however, that there is, with regard to what constitutes the negative pathway of seeking, and the positive or service to others pathway of seeking, a great deal of confusion; and it is not necessarily the case that activities that seem negative to you, and that, in fact, we would even say, possess a modicum of negativity to them, are indicators of an underlying polarity that is indeed service to self. "
This all is being brought up in my regards, to highlight for those on service to others path the importance of not judging polarity others… for instant that happens it closes the heart ray center… furthermore it can be futile exercise too…
" What makes it particularly difficult is that it is not always clear (in fact, ultimately it is never clear to any other entity) what the underlying polarity of its fellow citizens might be. And, it is very easy, therefore, to deceive others with regard to one’s intentions; and it is very easy to make a presentation of oneself such that others are drawn into the orbit of the service to self, or Ipsissimus adeptvwho seeks harvestable quality of its being on the negative path."
Now to further extend this…
" By contrast, an entity who is approaching harvestable quality on the negative path typically will not be noticed as one who is extraordinarily negative; [he or she] will most generally be taken as one who is, in fact, positive, because it is a characteristic of this path that the measure of success is indexed to the ability to control, to manipulate, to dominate others, and the surest way to queer the pitch shall we say, in that enterprise is to let the cat out of the bag [with regard to who you really are. It is very much to your advantage if you can generate a public persona that seems positive so that those whose energies you wish to commandeer to your own will gladly serve you, thinking that they are, in fact, serving one of a positive polarity."
All this discussion builds up to the central point… free will, which on the service to others path is the most vital and crucial element…
" What are you to do in striking a posture that expresses a clear orientation towards serving others, while, at the same time, recognizes that these negative elements are abroad in the land, and that those who are supporting and sustaining these negative elements do have a right to their choice of path? The operative consideration here is that of freedom of the will. And we would call your attention to the fact that it is a characteristic of those who wish to serve primarily their other selves, and who are willing to bend every effort in order to achieve a clearer orientation in that service, that the primary value they embrace is a recognition of the centrality of the freedom of the other self you wish to serve. To serve another self merely in the way you think other selves need to be served, is, after all, merely a surreptitious way of serving yourself.
And so, the first impediment to service to others is always the fact that others are, in fact, different than oneself—diverse in many respects, and a good many of them unobserved—so that one must tread very lightly, and give ground wherever one can so as not to interfere with the process of development of one’s fellows."
Of course if the time comes that you are confronting what could be perceived as service to self behaviour to your free will…
“We have to say that, indeed, the polarities are such that they mix no better than oil and water, and that the service-to-self greeting to service to others can but be rejected, and when it becomes too insistent, must be rejected absolutely, for otherwise it would undermine the viability of the free will which is the very essence of the seeking process that all must enjoy upon the path of service to others.”
“But, we will say, that within many, many a positively oriented group, there will be the expression of negative emotions that can seem like they come from a service-to-self place, but in reality, at bottom, do not. So, even within circled wagons you will find apparent hostility, and we ask that you consider carefully whether these negative expressions—expressions of anger, hostility, prejudice, ill-feeling—could not, after all, be healed, could not, after all be offered the love which it is your best and highest gift to be able to offer,”
Now just to go off on a tangent in a completely different direction… to take this back to within the self, as all the causes an effect away from love is catalyst…
“One way of requesting assistance that few are aware of, and yet is probably the most generally used, is simply by honestly and sincerely proceeding upon your journey of seeking, and when difficulties arise, seeking with all your being, with your heart, with your mind, your body, and your spirit, to resolve the difficulties, to process the catalyst, and to gain experience. And even if you do not specifically request assistance, the sincerity and perseverance that you reflect in your working with catalyst, and processing it in as pure a fashion as possible, is another form of calling for assistance.”
A very inspiring final reminder… I am tempted to just have this as the daily quote upon reading it now, but too late its meant to be at the end

" Many simply go through the motions, hoping that [the emotion of] worship will strike from the sky as lightning. However, it is to the persistent, steadfast, daily plodder, the one who walks with slow, firm steps, who accepts the dust and difficulty of the spiritual path of service to others, who is best able to begin the discipline of the personality that leads one to be able to release the personality and the limitations of human understanding, if we may use that term. "
" The next great step, then, in preparing oneself for worship, is to yield up the humanness of the self, gladly, willingly and eagerly, to release oneself from the limitations of making sense, of being rational, of analyzing, thinking, concentrating, pondering and so forth. An emotion is experienced; it is not an experience. It is that which occurs to one."
Of course have to include this one too
"Now, you see many, many wish to be of service to others. Many feel the need to express love to others. But first there must be two realizations. The first realization is that the Creator loves you with a passion most intense, for you are a portion of the Creator experiencing Itself—love experiencing love. True worship is a response to the unconditional love that lies at the center of the universe and of your being. Within you is infinity and within that infinity, an infinite intelligence. And this principle is one of love and so all that there is is love.
Yet, you would wish, and we would recommend, that you strive to attain the emotion of worship, for within the process of moving toward worship one first dies to the self. That is, one releases oneself from one’s humanity, one surrenders the self to the greater Self that lies within in complete trust that that which is love may be answered with the most profound and purified love in return."
Which finishes on this “The one known as Jesus was a teacher particularly adapted to offering these teachings. Yet, they were misunderstood, misquoted and, to some extent, lost, for this entity always declared that it was not he who spoke but the Father within, an indication of his own surrender to the infinite One Which lies at the heart of each and everything in creation.”
Finnaly, probably most significant of quotes today is this one
“This is the sticking point for many who do not wish to surrender what seems to them their free will in order to worship that which cannot be seen, that which is intangible and has no objective referent. It seems equally improbable that one would worship another or that one would worship the interior of one’s being. In daily meditation, in listening, and in opening that inner door to that principle of love which meekly stands waiting to enter, is to begin the process of spiritual evolution that results in what this instrument would call “praying without ceasing.” When one is conscious always of the greater Self within, the life becomes effortless and flows naturally as the spring of love wells up infinitely through the entity to the surface entity and then into manifestation to others.”
“the life becomes effortless and flows naturally” and this comes at a critical shift, a tipping point of moving from making effort for this to occur, which is usually from social conditioning and upbringing enhancing the law of confusion… to instead move to being effortless and the focus instead after that tipping point becomes one of moving back to that effortless state, when you remember effort to not be in it. As being in that effortless state mind is flowing clearly mostly single pointed… as it takes effort to think, or to attache to those thoughts. Also once that is achieved with mind it much easier to notice the effort in body being thoses biases and emotions and resistance to it. That takes effort to… It all becomes flow as that effort is released. Which comes by silence, which evolves deeper, then a whole new layer of silence reveals more and then another layer… This links back to the conscious of the greater self within(mentioned above), as that part is not just part of the illusion its beyond, its connected to everything. So that spring of love can effortlessly come through too. And worship simply happens naturally.

"The heart of truth is the one great original Thought. One dances about that Thought until one at last yields to silence and allows the silence to act as a key. The gateway to intelligent infinity lies beyond the door which is opened by the key of silence. "
Its almost a cosmic joke when you think about it… when becoming aware of the seekers path, the awareness of something more, the mind can come up with all thoughts of techniques an imagining how and what one must do, adventures or seeking mystical teachers or whatnot… But come on, just silence? It cannot be that easy surely not, no thats not correct I defy that, there must be some magical secret! No just laugh at the absurdity of it all and bask in the silence
Who would of that though, the just one word as simple as silence to mean and beckon such an unraveling of such a mystical journey, do you dare to pick up the key of silence and open the door?

“When catalyst comes to a seeker, it is a sure thing that there is a lesson connected with the learning of the nature of love which working through the catalyst will benefit so that you may become richer in experience and more conscious with the consciousness of love. When a lesson is declined by moving out of a situation, the same lesson shall be presented to the student again. The lesson, however, will be made clearer so that there is less chance of a misunderstanding.”

“Each entity has dignity, integrity and selfhood that is excellent. The voices that try to tear away at that concept of self that sees and respects the self and loves the self are deleterious to the wellness of that integrated mind and body and spirit. And this is why we speak of fear and love, for those voices of fear need to be forgiven and allowed to leave, gently but firmly. When a thought as to one’s unworthiness, foolishness or stupidity comes into the mind, remove it, knowing it is not accurate.”

“It is…a prominent feature of the system of third density that creates an environment in which the seemingly separate self, viewing all that lies around him, must make choice after choice of how to see his environment and how to respond to it. In those cases the self is the subject and all other things upon which he looks are the objects. …The environment offers you all you need in order to discover who you are and how you wish to shape your life’s journey. In this journey the subject, yourself, remains separated from the object by that part of the sentence that lies between subject and object, the verb. Ask how one may eliminate the distance between subject and object and we would say to you that it is when the verb used is “love” that the distance between subject and object shrinks.”

The forces of life are engulfing with their light the darkness that can never deny light.

“We are with you in the silence. We sit with you in the darkness of the mind. There is love in that darkness. Know that it is there. Have the faith that your search is a good one, and allow. That is the word that opens the door once the silence is achieved. That word, allow. Allow the intuition to arise. Allow the still, small voice to speak. You will not hear, for it is silent. You can only act upon faith with that feeling of rightness.”
