Q'uo speaks to the difficult balance between staying safe and embracing catalyst. Where the integrity of the incarnation is concerned, Q'uo tells us, safety is an important baseline. But it is easy to become overprotective of both self and other. Q'uo reminds us that one must decide for oneself how much catalyst can be taken in and processed. They then touch on many other intersecting topics, such as the light touch, martyrdom, boldness, and group harmony.
Monka is an old Confederation contact in the tradition of UFO-inspired channeling, first appearing in the work of Richard Miller in the 1950's[1](#footnote-1) and channeled twice by the L/L Research circle in the 1980's[2](#footnote-2), [3](#footnote-3). Responding to questions and concerns around group work in the Other Selves Working Group's activities, they share their view of the dynamics surrounding the building of community, the exercise of power, and the nature of disputes. The gravity of such work is laid out in light of the arriving fourth density, and those of Monka counsel patience and flexibility in accommodating the sometimes troubling nature of personal relationships. Some commentary is offered towards the end of the session on the operation of archetypal mind at the cosmic level.
Q'uo here addresses the role of the will in the development of power, polarity, and expression of true character through activation, exploration, and unblocking of the yellow ray energy center. Vibrating more and more in a socially oriented yellow ray manner, one encounters opportunities to form a variety of attitudes towards will's exercise, both by and upon the self. In the blockages and expressions of self this attitude evinces in having one's will constrained or empowered through social structures, will achieves ever redoubled focus through the practice of channeling it through structures of social norms and authorities. One either aspires to worthiness to use this power to serve others as a value or to the power to bring other selves under control, learning in the process something about one's nature otherwise hidden and vital to green ray activation.
In this session those of Q'uo discuss the breadth of concerns and implications resulting from attempts at magical practice on the service-to-others path. With no shortage of cautionary admonitions, several elements of disciplined study and self-inquiry are explicated briefly, including the role of the energy centers, the choice of polarity, the archetypal mind, and the shadow self. The well grounded access of the higher self then plays a pivotal part in the positive adept's transmutation of the negative energies at work in many conditions we might seek to affect through magical working. However, Q'uo continually remind us that this work demands immense levels of preparation and focus not required for third density polarization, and we can safely effect good through more modest forms of service.
This session features those of Q'uo discussing the dynamics of invoking the will, emphasizing intention as a crystallization of desire that gives us a way to relate to that which draws us forward. Along the way we encounter obstacles evincing unrecognized aspects of our desire in our blockages, confusion, and unexamined thoughts, and we wisely avoid the temptation to wrest the self into acceptability by a sheer act of will. Using a lighter, more patient touch will help us delicately work with catalyst on a more manageable basis in order to more gently address our distortions, accept and learn from our missteps, and discipline our conduct as we seek the love in each moment.
Ever the ones to disclaim authority, Q'uo provide in this session their best effort at articulating the proper balance between respecting free will and exercising power over others on the service-to-others path. They paint an evolutionary portrait of the role of stewardship that incrementally assembles a complex and precarious web of cultural responsibilities, societal norms, psychological repressions, and codical strictures adhering to its rightful exercise, none of which much limits the potential for abuse, distortion, confusion, or unintended side effects. The one saving grace of the positive steward seems to lie in the guidance discovered within, involving a continual reckoning with one's own blockages and desires that unearths a hard-won humility found in the balancing of the self and the experience of authority enacted both by and upon the self. The goal of all stewardship is to free other selves, achieving the harmony that allows for full expression of mind/body/spirit complexes without need for outer governance; yet a reliable recipe to effect this harmony appears to evade those of Q'uo.
In this session, those of Q'uo examine the relationship and distinctions between desire and will within third density. They describe desire as a random, indistinct, and chaotic energy drawing the entity towards the upward spiralling light in an unclear and mysterious fashion. The activiation of the spirit complex introduces the mind/body/spirit complex to the possibility of self-consciously ordering this energy of desire towards more articulated ends through the faculty of will. Because of the operation of the veil clouding the true nature of these energies, will increasingly coheres into a choice of polarity that can work intelligently and creatively with desire's upward draw towards unity and co-creatorship. Q'uo hints that we take a key step towards social memory in fourth density as we recognize the patterns inherent in the integration of desire and will within ourselves and our other selves.
In this session, those of Q'uo provide observations on the manner in which the will is specifically involved in the polarization process, shedding light on how the service-to-self entity exercises this faculty relative to the service-to-others entity. As a structuring and motivating force for the deep mind in third density, will serves to refine the personality through basic responses of acceptance and rejection towards desires from within and catalyst from seemingly without. While neither response is completely abandoned on either polarity, one response will tend to typify the direction of one's path, strengthening an energetic pattern for how one relates to other selves and the world. Given its role in maintaining a cohesive and secure personality in our lives, Q’uo explores several attitudinal, philosophical, and strategic factors impacting how a mind/body/spirit complex employs will to work with lessons and polarize towards harvestability.
In the final session of the fifth intensive, those of Q'uo expand upon the topic of memory from the last session with an emphasis on the existence, nature, and meaning of the "truth." Here too, will plays a role in the dyadic activity of remembrance, coupling subject to a limited perspective on an event. Given the veil of forgetting, Q'uo endorses no external standard by which veracity can be reliably and objectively teased out from the confusion of siloed and contradictory memories.
The achievement of a planetary social memory complex in fourth density will provide all with common access to all individual memories, and in this event lies the fruition of memory: the possibility of a commonly triangulated and authoritative truth across perspectives and distortions. Until then, one must humbly account for the role one's confusion, hurt, and limitations under the veil perennially play in the accuracy of one's recollection and one's truth.
Those of Auxhall join the Richmond circle to comment on the contingent nature of seeking in a chaotic, frustrating, and increasingly mediated illusion. They focus in particular on those aspects of the seeker's path that present confusion and interruption, suggesting that these are important signals on the road towards a partnership of the conscious, veiled self with its deeper, unconscious aspects. We are not expected to swallow catalyst whole, and we are reminded that the articulation and gravity of catalyst in third density is one of its great evolutionary advantages. Auxhall suggests our difficulties recognizing pitfalls in online interactions provide a hint at the complexity inherent in balancing and regulating in fourth density, where the clues that one has strayed are less discrete and obvious.
_Please note there is some soft piano music in the background of the recording due to a recital being held in the same building as that we used for our working. Auxhall makes several references to this surprise upstairs._
Oorkas is a new contact for Richmond Meditation Circle, clearly related to the "Orcas" that L/L Research channelled some forty years ago[1](#footnote-1). This newly fourth density social memory complex relates very touchingly to our dilemmas of third density veiled service, suggesting that we develop a flexibility and humor towards a very discombobulating illusion. The manner in which Oorkas incorporates the interruptions encountered during this session are a fitting example of this temperament they connect to Ra's concept of the light touch. Those of Oorkas assure us that the suffering and tragedies of Earth are not for naught, and that the very response those seemingly unfortunate events elicit in us demonstrate the breadth of our potential beyond this density.
Monka provides thoughts on effectively relating to one's past experience as the seeker perceives a new stage of life ahead, thereby implicitly closing out an old stage and in some sense an old self. Though it may seem like a sacrifice to let go of those parts of the self that represent the old, known configuration, it is really just about putting these parts in a different configuration by rewriting the narrative. Throughout the session Monka uses the visual of "concentric circles" as a way to think about the structure that consciousness assumes as it discovers new centers of attraction at various scales. These include the mind/body/spirit complex, the meditation circle and its rippling effects outward, the mirroring effect, and the relationship between higher density complexes and third density humans. They lastly provide some insight into how the circle members may cultivate better contact.
Expanding on Monka's theme from the last session, Auxhall addresses the experience of encountering a plurality of selves whether looking outward or inward. They situate work with groups as another variety of working within the self which can afford either comfort or discomfort depending on how one has tuned and balanced the self. Those of Auxhall offer many ideas on how one might begin to become comfortable with discomfort: building patience and flexibility through the use of the illusions of time and space in productive ways, balancing within the self to avoid blame, and untangling the knots of emotion and trauma though clearing energy centers.
In their first documented contact with a circle since the Other Selves Working Group's fourth channeling intensive,[1](#footnote-1) those of Laitos bring their warm and delicate vibration to the Richmond circle's working, focusing on the dynamics of truth and its effective communication in suboptimal situations. They suggest regular work on the lower energy centers of red-, yellow-, and orange-ray plays a key role in not simply activating the all-important green-ray center but also in gradually bringing the higher centers' working into common life scenarios more and more.
Viewing the encounter between self and other self through the lens of negotiation, Laitos demonstrates how the premises of bargaining evince each participant's basic dignity. This presents the seeker an opportunity to lower the stakes of any confrontation by affirmatively modeling vulnerability, thereby giving the other self a polarized choice to freely make. Finally, those of Laitos address follow-up questions stemming from the main topic as well as the subjects of repression within the energy system, setting an example for others, and the sinkhole of indifference on Earth.
In their second contact with the circle, Oorkas comments upon the enormity of the challenge of seeking infinitely within an infinite Creator. This endless quest is processed by us in units that regularly provide fresh opportunities to respond to dead ends on the path. Faith carries us through this cadence of new moments, building that capacity to continually extend the self further in the protean growth of our Creator. Connecting within to one’s higher self delivers a transcendence of individual identity towards a more cosmic scale of concerns. Oorkas also addresses the role of the potentiator of spirit archetype in this issue as well as questions about the function of individuation and emotions.
In this training session for newer instruments, the entity Laitos explores the concept of both individual and collective sovereignty as it relates to the spiritual journey and the evolution of consciousness. Laitos discusses how sovereignty is a recognition of one's power and the ability to respect others' personal domains, which is especially relevant in the face of the challenges posed by Earth's economic and political systems, emphasizing the role of the heart in connecting individuals and understanding the blend of personal and collective sovereignty. They suggest sovereignty is not a solitary endeavor but a collective one, where shared experiences and empathy can strengthen both individual and communal sovereignty. The concept of dignity is highlighted as a key aspect of sovereignty, suggesting that recognizing dignity in others can transform sovereignty from a defensive stance to a basis for unity.
In this session, Q'uo explores the archetypal stations of catalyst and experience as they are encountered in daily life, emphasizing a model of projection and reflection that imbues waking life with the veiled messages of the deep mind. Addressing these two stations of the tarot across mind, body, and spirit, their commentary largely centers on how to profitably think about the operation of catalysis and recognize the signs of its grounding, balancing, and integration. Q'uo then follows up on their monologue to address this subject in light of working with dreams and the possibility of catalyst becoming diminished or less obnoxious, in both cases suggesting attitudes with which the mind/body/spirit complex's extant approaches and processes may be cooperated with more deeply.
Q'uo describes healing as a dynamic interplay between the body's signals of imbalance and the wisdom to make effective choices for restoration. The matrix of the body, representing balance, and the potentiator of the body, associated with wisdom, guide this process. Healing involves observing and responding to these signals with consistent attention, aligning with the body's natural rhythms to maintain wellness.
After a long break, Richmond Meditation Circle makes contact with Oorkas to discuss humanity's connection to the planet as fourth density approaches. This involves the shared experience of Earth as a unifying center for all beings and the challenging path towards unifying with her. Oorkas encourages individuals to embrace the planet's struggles as part of their own journey, urging the development of one's intuitive faculties to cultivate a deep connection with Earth and a recognition of the interconnectedness of all life. This entails a shift in perspective, moving away from seeing the planet merely the setting for human activity and instead recognizing it as an full partner in our joint evolution.
Oorkas advises that true service to other selves and the planet involves learning to give without attachment to outcomes, suggesting meditation as the key to aligning with one's inner center and, by extension, the planetary center. They stress the direct and maturing experience of social memory and the importance of integrating the shadow self to foster unity and healing. The session concludes with Oorkas addressing concerns about the planet's response to global negative energies as well as relating to other selves regardless of personal affection.
In this session the fifth density social memory complex of Monka work with some of the finer points in the individual mind/body/spirt complex’s harmonization with the planetary complex. Monka builds upon Oorkas’s last message by providing some abstract guidance on tuning to Earth, working with the obstacles to this inherent in the yellow-ray self. Contrasting personal comfort with Mother Earth’s comfort, they discuss the nature of sacrifice, intellectualism, control, and the use of thought forms that can focus the planet’s desire in ways that harmonize the civilizational with the natural. Monka ends by answering questions revolving around using feelings of discomfort and feeling into patterns in nature that inform how we might work with our own unconscious.
The Q'uo principle addresses the Richmond circle members' concerns about letting go of old situations and stepping into new, unknown ones. Highlighting the archetypal nature of these transitions, Q'uo connects thought forms to the less discrete matters of faith and causality to shed light on the nature of the meandering path each seeker walks. Follow-up questions tackle issues of accepting the self, offering service while suffering from personal handicaps, and the nature of cooperation within the Confederation.
