After taking most of February and March off, Ryan and Jeremy are back, this time continuing to explore sessions recently published on the Living Love and Light podcast by addressing Confederation commentary on the subject of purity. Hatonn and Latwii go to great lengths to distinguish their definition of purity from how it is regarded spiritually or religiously in our society. Instead of stressing purity as an adherence to rules or a removal of certain parts of ourselves, they emphasize the simple and wholesome radiation of the Creator's light within us. The very nature of incarnation requires the admixture of elements that will seem to make us impure, yet our seeking and striving to polarize allows us to purify our intentions and render the imperfections of life moot.Show NotesHatonn and Latwii on purity (March 7, 1982)The parable of hiding the lamp under a bushel (Wikipedia article)Q'uo on the role of the spirit complex in self-consciousness (May 18, 2022)Flatland (Wikipedia article)Ra on the purity of light (Session 80, Question 5)Everything Everywhere All at Once (IMDB)Monka on the light within the individual (January 15, 2023)Ra on the pure positivity and negativity (Session 71, Question 14)

The theme of "being and doing" is frequently mentioned in many of the Confederation's communications with Earth. Ryan and Jeremy discuss how to understand this theme and what it reflects about the nature of the Creation and reality. While it is easy to understand how service in the world rests upon "doing," in other words, acting in the world, it takes a little more seeking to figure out what it might mean to say that the very fact of our existence is itself a service.Of course, our beingness is the grounds for any doing, but those of the Confederation make it plain that it is simply our passive beingness that serves by imbuing the planet and events in which we participate with the vibration we radiate. Therefore, the conversation weighs what it might mean to better understand our "instruments" on their own terms and not simply in light of the fruits it generates in the socially constructed domain of activity. The more aware we are of our true nature that rests in that passive beingness state, the better the relationship we can have with those unconscious but powerful and creative parts of our entire self. Meditation tees us up for just that kind of inquiry into the self, these forays into the dark but fecund mystery of the spirit complex and intelligent infinity, that build our faith in our polarity and the full breadth of what we bring to others. Update: The original audio was messed up, it's fixed now.Show NotesRa on the service of being (Session 42, Question 7)Q’uo on being and doing (February 22, 1991 and December 12, 1993)Q'uo on appreciating beingness in daily life (October 17, 1999)Q'uo on the repetition of the being and doing theme (December 12, 1993)Q'uo on channeling versus becoming (November 22, 2008)Personal Q'uo reading (August 24, 2005)Latwii on becoming that which one seeks (May 1, 1983)The Other Selves Working Group's new YouTube channel

Happy new year, other selves! Nithin joins Jeremy on the last day of 2022 to explore a Q’uo session from early in their contact with the L/L Research circle. Those of Q’uo distinguish the outer forms of spiritual practice from the love that motivates them, urging the seeker to touch into the heart to find their bearing. Looking outside the self to things such as prophecy, tarot, or even channeling will never provide a foundation or orientation for authentic seeking of the Creator, since those phenomena are the fruits of past love, only valuable to the extent they reflect the love we can find within ourselves in the present. The genuine seeker relies ultimately on nothing but the dim star of hope lit by the heart, learning how love is always manifested as a dynamic of the moment and never fully captured in the things of the world.Please note that we had some recording difficulties this time through so audio may sound a bit wonky. Also, we discussed a Hatonn session from 1976 before the Q’uo session that dealt with the spiritual significance of the new year, but that recording was lost. The reference to the “symbolism of life” at the beginning of the episode refers to that conversation.Show NotesQ'uo on phenomena (February 9, 1986)Ra on the polarity involved in healing and channeling (Session 4, Question 13)Q'uo on love informing our service (March 19, 2006)Hatonn on the metaphor of the banquet (June 6, 1982)Ra on things coming through positive entities (Session 55, Question 7)Hatonn on the new year and cycles (January 4, 1976)

The podcast delves into encountering negativity on the spiritual path, emphasizing the need to integrate all aspects of self. It discusses transforming pain into compassion, embracing self-love, and extending patience to others. The hosts explore the power of opening the heart to love and understanding the interconnectedness of all beings.

After another two month break, Ryan and Jeremy are back at another episode of (inaudible), catching up on what happened over the break including the Other Selves Working Group's third channeling intensive. The 2011 Q'uo session they analyze discusses the nature of self-confidence and contrasts it with pride. Faith seems to be the key to freely expressing the Creator's love and light without needlessly judging the self by other's standards. We are encouraged to tap into the deep hunger and thirst within us to grow and learn, placing our confidence in the Creator and the goodness of the path back to unity.Show NotesQ'uo on Pride, Confidence, and Faith (https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2011/0205)Hatonn and Latwii on communication (https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1983/0501)Q'uo on the Transformation of the Mind Archetype (https://harc.otherselvesworking.group/2022-05-16/3/quo-on-the-transformation-of-mind-archetype)Transcripts from the Other Selves Working Group's Third Channeling Intensive (https://harc.otherselvesworking.group/category/third-channeling-intensive)

Nithin Reddy joins Jeremy once more to dive into what those of Q'uo describe as the mysteries and paradoxes of service. How do we know whether we're truly serving the other self, when the other self may not understand its own spiritual project and true desire? How do we give freely with no conditions so that we can give others the freedom to discover themselves that we seek to give ourselves? What do we as servants desire from those we serve, and how do we use even services that go poorly as ways to understand ourselves better? Where do the social norms and pressures fit into all this?We can strive to be more polarized, but this is so difficult without any way to judge our polarity. Service encompasses all of the mysteries contained in an illusion of separation refracting and mediating the underlying unity of the Creator. Q'uo offers novel approaches to keeping the faith that love expressed and received are the true natures of service. As we learn to abide in patience and bring through more and more purified love and light, we make ourselves open, available, and even grateful for all the opportunities for growth and connection that service offers.Show NotesQ'uo on the mysteries of service (October 3, 2009)Laitos on service (July 31, 2021)Hatonn on spiritual strength and discipline (August 14, 1983)Ra on the catalytic opportunities for the service-to-others seeker (September 2, 1982)Ra on the dual nature of law (April 5, 1982)Ra on energy expenditures and the archetypal mind (June 26, 1982)Ra on the role of the servant (June 5, 1981)

Note: A previous version of this episode omitted Nithin's track. This version is fixed.Nithin Reddy and Jeremy discuss a 2008 Q'uo session on the subject of processing and distilling catalyst. What about our experiences is the lesson on which we're working? Conversely, what about our experiences needs to be let go and not belabored? How do we deal with our triggered feelings in the moment when catalytic situations first present? Q'uo shares some ideas on the skills involved in the personal and delicate matter of exercising compassionate discernment in facing the events of our lives and balancing their aftermath. Nithin and Jeremy tease apart the nuances of Q'uo's message, including the role our guidance and other synchronicities play as well as the benefits of a meditative approach as we discuss the "diet of catalyst" in our lives.Show NotesQ'uo on digesting catalyst (October 11, 2008)Ra on the unstudied and spontaneous use of catalyst (Session 41, Question 9)Ra on repressing catalyst (Session 42, Question 9)Ra on the lifespan and use of catalyst (Session 76, Question 21)

Happy Thursday, other selves! Coming off his own recent experiences working with the heart or green-ray energy center (or chakra), Jeremy joins Ryan to discuss a rare 1991 appearance of Hatonn in the L/L Research meditation circle. While the heart is a vital center in the energy body -- so important that those of Ra call it a "springboard" to blue ray and beyond -- it also is where we store all our self-judgments and failures. The heart's wisdom is discovered in the forgiveness and healing of its contents, bringing the possibility of balance to all centers in the energy body. Gratitude is the key to keeping the heart open at a steady state, and that paves the way for the blue-ray communication that avoids intellectualization in favor of adaptiveness, fearlessness, generosity, and endless hope. Working with these energies over time, we build the habits necessary to fall in love with our whole selves, making possible the creative and nimble possibilities of service that flow from the open heart.Show NotesHatonn on opening the heart (https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1991/0526)Ra on the heart as springboard (https://www.lawofone.info/s/48#7)Episode 9: The Green Ray and Blue Ray Energy Centers (https://inaudible.show/episode-9/)Ra on the difference between green-ray and blue-ray radiation (https://www.lawofone.info/s/41#25) Hatonn on acceptance and perfectionism (https://harc.otherselvesworking.group/203/hatonn-on-facing-difficulty-and-change/)

Returning to the session first discussed in episode 32, Ryan and Jeremy follow Q'uo's segue from discussing the higher self to exploring a highly specialized and articulated version of that self. The magical personality is a powerful way that we access our future sixth density self's wisdom and experience to use in our third density life now. However, it must be used with reverence and caution. What does it mean to invoke the magical personality, and what are the ways in which it may be accomplished? How do we build the best relationship with this powerful form of consciousness?Show NotesQ'uo on the magical personality (December 31, 1989): https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1989/1231Ra on the magical personality: https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?q=magical+personalityHatonn on finding the true self (November 29, 1981): https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1981/1129#!0Q'uo on the spirit complex and self-consciousness (May 18, 2022): https://harc.otherselvesworking.group/301/quo-on-the-role-of-the-spirit-complex-in-self-consciousness/Hatonn on how to appraise spiritual information (July 13, 2022): https://harc.otherselvesworking.group/343/hatonn-on-change-and-turmoil/
