Jeremy and Nithin assemble once more to tackle one of the greatest mysteries of the Creation: balancing the cosmic force of love with the poise of wisdom. After defining these concepts, they explore how these attempts we make at balance look and feel in life, addressing their impact on the energy centers, our ethics, and our service. This balance is something even those of Ra and the Confederation have gotten wrong, and they explore how the mechanism of trial and error navigates spiritual evolution through the many temptations of excessively foolish love and manipulative, calculating wisdom of the negative path. However, with compassionate wisdom that partakes of the deeper aspects of our intelligence and our faith, one can accept the pain and hardship of catalysis as part of the mystery of incarnate agency. This pushes us to learn how one can help the Creator guide its love and light where it might best help without such a tight attachment to a specific approach or outcome. Through reflection and inner inquiry we build a capacity to use our lessons to build wisdom with a light touch. We do not need to close our heart or foreclose on our creative ability to transcend zero sum scenarios in weighing the tough decisions stemming from service.Show NotesQ’uo on love and wisdom (July 31, 2021)Ra on missteps in ancient Egypt (Session 1, Question 5; Session 23, Question 6)Ra on the Venusian negatively polarized wanderers (Session 89, Question 35)Monka on the temptation of urgent assertion of self (January 15, 2023)Ra on wisdom and compassion in service (Session 42, Question 7)Q’uo on the Barbara Brodsky/Aaron backstory (October 8, 2006)Hatonn on experience accruing into wisdom (August 18, 1985)

Nithin joins Jeremy to discuss an area of shared interest: the orange and yellow ray energy centers and the way they are worked with in our very human, very organized lives. Distinguishing between those one-on-one, orange ray relationships and the more coordinated, socially inflected yellow ray roles is not always clear. However, the more we can understand our catalyst in these two centers, the more we can open the pathway to the green ray center, the springboard to the higher energies. These issues and frameworks for approaching them are discussed in light of friendships, professional settings, power dynamics, service opportunities, and other real world situations where the effect of the cultural and personal distortions vary.Show NotesRa on yellow and orange ray possession issues (Session 32, Question 14)The Master-Slave Dialectic (The Phenomenology of Spirit, G.

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)
