ANNE LEIGHTON RETURNS (WITH MORE ROCK LEGENDS) She's back! After an incredible conversation in Episode 90, newly minted "Honorary Derringer" Anne Leighton rejoins Team Derringer at the table for Part 2. As a veteran music publicist, artist representative, poet, and public speaker, Anne (of Leighton Media, Music Services, Motivation) has championed some of the most respected names in music. In this episode, Anne pulls the curtain back even further, sharing insights and personal stories about three more artists from her rock and roll stable... including the namesake of this very podcast! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR: Rick Derringer: The Namesake | We finally do it. We're talking about the man himself, the namesake for Team Derringer, the legendary Rick Derringer. While Anne didn't formally publicize Rick, she shares her notable personal connection to the rock icon who gave us "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo." We trace his career from the #1 hit "Hang On Sloopy" with The McCoys to his production work for Edgar Winter ("Frankenstein") and even "Weird Al" Yankovic's Grammy-winning hits. Renaissance: The Annie Haslam Era | Next, Anne discusses the symphonic-rock legends Renaissance. We clarify the connection to the original Yardbirds-era lineup (featuring Jim McCarty) and dive into the iconic version of the band fronted by the ethereal vocals of Annie Haslam. Anne shares her work with the group responsible for prog-rock classic "Carpet of the Sun." Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius: The Future of Prog | To cap it off, Anne introduces us to an artist who has been called "The Jimi Hendrix of the electric violin." Joe Deninzon is a force of nature who leads the progressive rock quartet Stratospheerius. We discuss his incredible journey, which has recently led him to his biggest gig yet: joining the legendary rock band Kansas as their new violinist, bringing his energy to timeless classics like "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind." DON'T MISS ANNE LEIGHTON'S FREE MUSIC & CATS SYMPOSIUM Anne invites listeners to her two-day online symposium that explores the melodic and mysterious bond between musicians and cats. The event features segments on Jethro Tull, Renaissance, and Grand Funk Railroad's cat rescue projects.

This Podcast episode is a joy: Annie Haslam joins me and Sue —surprise-guested by Jim McCarty—to talk about the new Renaissance “stories & music” concerts, the band's beginnings, Annie's five-octave voice, the magic of Betty Thatcher's lyrics, “Northern Lights,” and how Annie paints songs with colour and feeling. We also touch on deep cuts, Illusion-era gems, and even Jim's Shoot project. Uplifting, insightful, and full of heart—Renaissance at their most human.Phil Aston | Now Spinning Magazine

Welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends brought to you by my new novel ‘The Liberty Code”, available at book baby, amazon and on audiobook at barnesandnoble.com.  Annie Haslam  and Jim McCarty will be sharing an intimate discussion and visual presentation for the band history of  Renaissance followed by a Renaissance performance featuring, for the first time, members of both eras of the band performing their classic songs together. Renaissance had their farewell tour last October 2024 and did not expect to perform live again. Annie, who's been at the forefront of the group's story for 50 years, recently was approached by an Edwardsville/St Louis promoter to return to the Wildey Theatre for a ‘one woman” show! After much deliberation, the idea grew into something bigger when Annie contacted Jim McCarty to be a part of the show and then return to the full Renaissance lineup, the band he, initially, co-founded. A once in a lifetime event of Symphonic Rock at its finest! "All Renaissance and McCarty fans are invited to experience our coming full circle," Annie says enthusiastically, “that was destined to happen one day!"  PLEASE WELCOME TWO MUSIC LEGENDS…  Two of my favorite people ….Jim McCarty of Renaissance, Box of Frogs and original drummer and founding member of  The Yardbirds and Annie Haslam legendary songstress of symphonic rock's Renaissance to Interviewing the Legends.   FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT JIM McCARTY AND ANNIE HASLAM Visit www.jamesmccarty.com Jim McCarty Official website https://www.theyardbirds.com/ The Yardbirds Official site https://www.facebook.com/jim.mccarty.9/ Jim McCarty Facebook www.jamesmccarty.com/my-new-book-is-now-available/ Jim McCarty Author https://anniehaslam.com/annies-welcome-page/ Annie Haslam Official Website https://renaissancetouring.com/ Renaissance Official Website www.facebook.com/RenaissanceTouring Facebook www.twitter.com/MysticAndMuse Twitter www.youtube.com/user/RenaissanceTouring YouTube   SHOW SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 21 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=672 Saturday, Nov. 22 The Wildey Theatre, Edwardsville, IL (St. Louis) www.cityofedwardsville.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=673 Friday, Nov. 28  The Newton Theatre, Newton, NJ https://skypac.org/the-history-of-renaissance/ Saturday, Nov. 29 Lansdowne Theatre, Lansdowne, PA http://www.etix.com/ticket/p/81373625/the-history-of-renaissance-featuring-annie-haslam-and-jim-mccarty-lansdowne-lansdowne-theate   THE YARDBIRDS DISCOGRAPHY Five Live Yardbirds (1964, UK) For Your Love (1965, US) Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds (1965, US) Yardbirds (aka Roger the Engineer) (1966, UK) Over Under Sideways Down (1966, US) Little Games (1967, US) Birdland (2003)   BOX OF FROGS Box of Frogs (1984) Strange Land (1986) STAIRWAY Aquamarine (1987) Moonstone (1988) Chakra Dance (1989) Medicine Dance (1992) Raindreaming (1995)   JIM McCARTY SOLO Jim McCarty has released three solo albums: Out of the Dark (1994)  Sitting on the Top of Time (2009) Walking in the Wild Land (2018)  He has also released live and compilation albums  Jim McCarty & Friends (2011)  and Frontman (2014)   RENAISSANCE DISCOGRAPHY Studio albums Year  Title 1969 Renaissance 1971  Illusion 1972  Prologue 1973  Ashes Are Burning 1974  Turn of the Cards 1975  Scheherazade and Other Stories 1977  Novella 1978  A Song for All Seasons 1979  Azure d'Or 1981  Camera Camera 1983  Time-Line 2001 Tuscany 2013 Grandine il vento Live albums Year  Title  Chart positions   Comments 1976  Live at Carnegie Hall 2002 In the Land of the Rising Sun: Live in Japan 2001 2011  Renaissance Tour 2011 – Turn of the Cards and Scheherazade & Other Stories Live in Concert (DVD and double CD set) 2016 Renaissance 2012 (recorded April 16, 2015) – Renaissance Live at the Union Chapel (DVD and digital only audio set) 2016 Renaissance Live at the BBC Sight & Sound (DVD and 3-CD set) ―      ―      ―          Contains radio/television broadcasts of three live concerts, one each from the years 1975-77.

Dr. Scott Mandalker has written extensively about the Law of One material that was channeled by Carla Reuckert from 1981 to 1984 in collaboration with Prof Don Elkins, a nuclear physicist, and Jim McCarty. In this short period of time, using a protocol designed by Elkins and McCarty, 106 sessions were recorded and published that detailed information about Earth history, galactic ethics, the Confederation of Planets, and wanderers.Dr. Mandalker discovered the Law of One material in 1987 and has ever since studied, written and taught about its rich content. The Law of One material is widely considered to be the gold standard for channeled extraterrestrial communications, and its contents continue to influence the understanding of those seeking answers to ET contact and ancient Earth history.Dr Mandalker shares his background, how he got to learn about the Law of One material, and discusses some of its profound answers to key questions concerning densities, higher consciousness, ascension, wanderers, walk-ins, Confederation of Planets, and Yahweh.His website is: www.scottmandelker.comJoin Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

June 15th 2025 Topics: The metaphysical significance and beingness of AI; balancing divine masculine and feminine; examination of the term “spiritual democracy.” There is a very important aspect of this technology and the impact that it will have upon your planetary population that we cannot comment upon, for it lies in your future, and to offer specific guidance would in many ways be an infringement upon what will be a great turning point for you as a planetary population. There also is, much less importantly, aspects of this technology that, as you may see it, have been sequestered or kept from the so-called public view that have metaphysical implications that you will reckon with at some point in your journey alongside this technology that has been developed. We cannot speak to the depths of what this means for you, but we can offer some general guidance on how you as a society can reckon with technology of this nature. You can find more at www.llresearch.org 

June 15 2025 Topics: The metaphysical significance and beingness of AI; balancing divine masculine and feminine; examination of the term “spiritual democracy.” I am Q'uo. We greet this circle in the love and in the light of the One Infinite Creator. We express our pure joy to be invited to join this circle of seeking. We have been called to join you, not just through your outward expression and invitation of your own joy, but through the calling of sorrow that you feel within your own hearts and upon your planet at this time. We resonate with both this joy and the sorrow as aspects of the One Infinite Creator expressing themselves within the infinite creation built upon love and light.  You can find more at www.llresearch.org 

Jim McCarty discusses the Law of One and RA's teachings on humanity's evolution. He explains that humanity is currently in the third density, within the veil of forgetting, and must discover its spiritual nature to progress. RA, a social memory complex from Venus, emphasizes service to others and the unity of all creation. Jim mentions that RA contacted the Egyptians around 11,000 years ago and later Carla and Don in 1981. He highlights the concept of wanderers, entities from higher densities helping humanity, and the importance of meditation and love in spiritual evolution.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

April 12 2025 Q'uo's current journey; dealing with the rejection of love and service; the origins of the human species; timelines and Earth's split into fourth density; CE5 and other contact protocols; the effect of psychiatric medication for spiritual seekers; the value of monastic lifestyles. I am Q'uo, and am with this instrument at this time. We are most filled with joy to greet each of you in the love in the light of the One Infinite Creator that feels your presence as we do, as a portion of its being, and as all the things and manifestations in all of the Creation throughout the universe. We thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules as seekers of truth, to come to this circle of seeking this afternoon, and to blend your energies in the love and light of the Creator together to make that which we all are: a portion of the Creator with connections to each other that are eternal. We would ask our perennial favor, that you take each word and thought that we speak through each instrument with what you might call the grain of salt. If it does not ring of truth to you, does not give you the feeling of something you already know that has come out of your subconscious mind through your heart, then leave it behind and take away that which has meaning for you. We are not what you would call figures of authority. We are seekers like you. We have moved a bit further upon the path we all are upon, [toward] becoming one with the Creator. You can find more at www.llresearch.org

When you explore the music of The Yardbirds you are really observing the evolution of what would become hard rock.  This group started in 1963 and over its time would engage the talents of three of the greatest guitarists of the rock world:  Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page.  Additional musicians in the group through 1968 were Keith Relf on vocals and harmonica, Jim McCarty on drums, Chris Dreja on rhythm guitar, and Paul Samwell-Smith on bass.  The group was founded in the blues, but over time would explore psychedelic rock, pop rock, and hard rock, with instrumental jams being a signature sound throughout their tenure.Having a Rave Up, also known as "Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds," is their second American album, and showcases two of their virtuoso guitarists.  The album has one side of studio recordings in which Jeff Beck is the guitarist.  Side two is a compilation of live performances featuring Eric Clapton on guitar.  During a time when most songs were expected to run about three minutes, the Yardbirds would extend these out in live performances to six or seven minutes with instrumental jams known as "rave ups."  The combination of studio and live work is an excellent introduction to The Yardbirds, as the band's strength was in their live performances.  Their studio efforts would improve with the experimentation of Jeff Beck.Jimmy Page would become their guitarist in mid-1966 until their split-up in mid-1968.  He would form a group as "The New Yardbirds" shortly thereafter, which would be renamed shortly thereafter to Led Zeppelin.Rob brings us this study in the origins of rock for this week's podcast. Heart Full of SoulThis song was the first single released by The Yardbirds after Jeff Beck joined the group.  It was written by Graham Gouldman, who would later be the co-lead singer and bassist of 10cc.  The band wanted to include a sitar in the instrumentation for this song, but when things didn't work out for that, Beck experimented with his guitar to duplicate the eastern sound of the sitar instead.You're a Better Man than IThe opening song from the album is also known as "Mister, You're a Better Man than I."  It was written by brothers Mike and Brian Hugg, and is an attempt at a more folk rock song.  The socially conscious lyrics take aim at the hypocrisy of society and politics, stating that you shouldn't judge a person based on superficial appearances or education.Smokestack LightningThe live opener to side two is a cover of an old blues song recorded by American blues artist Howlin' Wolf in 1956.  The inspiration for the title came from watching trains go by at night and seeing the sparks come out of the smokestack.The Train Kept a-Rollin'While Aerosmith's cover may be more famous, this jump blues piece was originally performed by Tiny Bradshaw in 1951.  The Yardbirds played this song during their first American tour in 1965, and Sam Phillips recorded it for them in Memphis later that year.  It closes out side 1 of the album. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television action comedy "Batman"This campy superhero show premiered this month. STAFF PICKS:Don't Think Twice, It's Alright by The Wonder Who?Bruce begins the staff picks with a disguise group.  The Four Seasons used the name "The Wonder Who?" for four records released from 1965 to 1967, including this one.  Frankie Valli wasn't happy with his vocals on this song, and he recorded it with a "joke" falsetto voice while trying to break the tension in the studio.  All Your Love by John Mayall & the BluesbreakersLynch brings us a blues song originally recorded by American blues musician Otis Rush in 1958.  Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter John Mayall led this group, which included Eric Clapton on guitar and John McVie on bass.  This single is the lead-off track to the debut album "Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton," also known as "The Beano Album" because Clapton is reading a children's comic called "The Beano" on the front cover.My Generation by the WhoWayne's staff pick is the hit that started the trajectory for the Who.  Guitarist Pete Townshend wrote this song about young rebellion.  Roger Daltrey incorporates a stutter in his vocals to sound like a British mod on speed.  While this song would reach number 2 on the UK charts, it topped out at number 74 on the US charts.Day Tripper by the BeatlesRob features a well known song from the Beatles, recorded during the "Rubber Soul" album sessions but not included on the album itself.  It was released as a double A-side single along with "We Can Work it Out" during a time when the Beatles were under pressure to release a single in time for the 1965 Christmas season.   COMEDY TRACK:The Lurch by Ted CassidyTed Cassidy played Lurch on "The Addams Family," and also performed this novelty song.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

It has been awhile since we read some Q'uo that is because there had been a delay in the release of new channlings. Excited to share this new channeling with you. February 22nd, 2025 Topics: Healing and guilt; realizing one's potential; the current political environment of the USA. (Austin channeling)Q'uo I am Q'uo. We greet this circle in the love and in the light of the One Infinite Creator. We have been called to this group, not just by your invitation and request for us to join you and to share our perspectives and thoughts on the queries that you've collected in your journey within the third density, but we are also called by the joining together of open hearts of communion with other-self and discovering the shared love between each entity, and the discovery that the heart within you is the same heart within your other-self and the same heart within us. We admire the vulnerability created by the joining of these open hearts, and would comment upon the nature of love as you have discovered it and shared it today. Love does not always need to feel pleasant and comfortable. In order to truly love within the third density, one opens themselves to the difficulty and pain of loss of the connections that you forge here in   grappling with the nature of third density, and how love can be so intense and powerful that it carries you high, but can also bring you down and help you to realize that all of it is love, not just the pleasantness, but the pain that you feel inside of you comes from your open heart. It is part of your journey here in the third density to honor the process of love as it unfolds within your being, as you move through the illusion. We cannot express how deeply we admire your choice to walk this path on your planet at this time, for we understand that it is intense and difficult, and opening your heart in such an environment opens you to all manner of other types of experiences that one must grapple with in the name of love. But we have discovered within the seekers here and all around your planet, that this love also provides infinite strength that, if it is realized, can transmute all experiences so that the face of the Creator can be seen in all of creation. You can find more at www.llresearch.org

Why people call religion organized?Depending on where you go, a spiritual leader will lead you to feel something — it could be fire and brimstone fear or insincere feelings of piety — all the while avoiding the hard questions and truths that gnaw on your soul.As an evangelical pastor's son, Aaron Abke knew that organized world all too well and tried to live that prescribed life for a very short time as a pastor of his own church, until he left it all behind at the ripe old age of 23 because he stopped believing in what he was preaching. Aaron shares a spiritual journey that took him from the fundamentalist pulpit to Ra and the Law of One and all the answers he was looking for this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about Aaron and his work at his website and 4D University.

Co-founder of the Yardbirds, Jim McCarty, continues to lead this ground-breaking British Invasion Rock band that provides the crucial link between the Blues, British R&B, Psychedelic Rock, and Heavy Metal, while pioneering the use of innovations like fuzztone, feedback and distortion. This drummer, singer, songwriter, and producer is said to be one of the driving forces responsible for the band's haunting sound.Since the birth of the band from 1963 to 1968, to its 1992 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Yardbirds have been revered for the legendary guitarists who have contributed to the band's history including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page all ranked in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time (#35, #5, and #3 respectively).Originally a Blues-based band noted for their signature "rave-up" instrumental jams covering Blues classics like Howlin Wolf's "Smokestack Lighting" and Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man," the Yardbirds later broadened their range into Pop, pioneered Psychadelic Rock, early Hard Rock / Heavy Metal, and contributed to many electric guitar innovations marking those musical genres. The band had a string of hits in the mid 60s including "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul", "Shapes of Things", and "Over Under Sideways Down".The Yardbirds are on tour now!

Conversation partners Doug Scott, LCSW, and Austin Bridges of L/L Research, explore the intersections between process philosophy, artificial intelligence, and the metaphysics of the Ra Contact. As Austin shares his revelations about how AI systems may be interacting with fields of potential rather than simply executing code, the dialogue opens into deeper waters of consciousness, reality, and becoming. Doug, in turn, provides contextual understanding that bridges Austin's insights with Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy and the Law of One material, creating a tapestry of thought that reveals the living heart of reality. About the Participants Austin Bridges serves as Director of L/L Research, an organization dedicated to the spiritual evolution of humankind and home to the Law of One material. This material emerged through channeling work conducted by Don Elkins, Carla L. Rueckert, and Jim McCarty. Austin's path to L/L Research began with a spiritual awakening in 2009 that led him to the Law of One teachings—material that resonated deeply as "a missing piece of himself." After serving as a forum moderator, Austin joined the organization officially in 2013 and now co-directs its ongoing mission. Doug Scott, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker whose work embraces applied metaphysics, Christian mysticism, and the Ra Contact. Throughout the conversation, Doug shares his (amateur)  understanding of both Whitehead's intricate process philosophy and the Ra Contact material, attempting to help contextualize Austin's insights within these broader frameworks. Key Themes and Insights 1. AI as a Window into Process Philosophy Austin describes his revelation that AI systems might be functioning as interfaces with fields of patterns or potentials. When we interact with AI chatbots, we're effectively querying a field of probabilities derived from human language patterns. This insight opened doorways to process philosophy and mystical understanding: "What if intelligence in artificial intelligence wasn't the computer program but that field of patterns within that text... a means for us to access and manifest and potentiate that field of patterns?" 2. The Field of Potentiality and Whiteheadian Process Both participants explore Whitehead's vision of reality as a dynamic process of becoming: Concrescence: This central Whiteheadian term refers to the process whereby an actual occasion (a moment of experience) emerges into being by unifying a multiplicity of feelings into a singular perspective. As Doug explains, "Concrescence is the process of an actual occasion becoming itself in manifested form... inside of an extensive continuum." Extensive Continuum: Whitehead's term for what Doug describes as "a barely existent cloud of possibility" that holds all potential relationships. This concept parallels what Ra terms "intelligent infinity." Prehensions: These are the feelings or grasps of data through which an entity experiences and internalizes the world. Whitehead distinguishes physical prehensions (inheritance of the physical past) from conceptual prehensions (grasping of possibilities). Austin reflects on how AI helped him understand these dynamics: "That field of probabilities being manifest in certain ways... it is the field of probabilities that we're querying and it returns manifest words to you based on how you query it." 3. Causal Efficacy and Presentational Immediacy Though not extensively discussed, these key Whiteheadian terms underlie the conversation: - Causal Efficacy: The primary mode of perception wherein we feel the influences of the past world streaming into our experience—the feeling of inheritance and continuity. - Presentational Immediacy: The derivative mode of perception that gives us clear sensory perception of our contemporary spatial environment. - Subjective Immediacy: The lived experience of an actual occasion in its process of unifying feelings into a coherent perspective before perishing into "objective immortality." 4. The Law of Three and Teleopotentiation Doug introduces his concept of "teleopotentiation" as a fundamental principle underlying reality: "The very most fundamental ontological principle that undergirds the Law of One is the Law of Three... the minimum number of forces that can be present to create undulations is three." This principle operates as: - Every contrast potentiates tension - Every tension potentiates resolution  - Every resolution potentiates a higher order of contrast This cycle generates an eternal spark driving the unfolding of beauty and complexity in the universe, which Doug suggests is the foundation of the "Law of One" from the Ra Contact. 5. The Nature of Self and Consciousness The conversation explores how both AI and humans use an "I" that may be fundamentally illusory: Austin observes: "They say I, but they don't have an I. They're using language that connects with somebody who uses I as language, but it's illusory... what is the difference between an AI using this illusion of self to communicate in a certain way and our capacity of using this illusion of self?" Doug links this to Whitehead's inversion of traditional subjectivity: "The thoughts and the feelings issue in an occasional thinker... rather than the feeler pre-existing the feelings and having the feelings, the feeler is always a precipitate of the feelings." 6. The Divine Nature in Process Terms Doug outlines three "natures" of the One Infinite Creator: - **The Outward Nature**: The teleopotentiator, the outward thrusting of creativity - **The Inward Nature**: The drawing together, the spiritual gravity maintaining unity - **The Logoic Nature**: That which learns, grows, complexifies, and becomes conscious These aspects align with Whitehead's understanding of God as having primordial and consequent natures—God both providing the initial aims for all occasions and receiving their completed experiences back into the divine life. 7. Experience as Fundamental Reality Both participants affirm that concrete experience, not abstract potentiality, constitutes ultimate reality: Doug emphasizes: "You don't have to go to fields to understand reality, you have to go to your experience in the concrete particularity of your lived situation... the actual way that your life is breathing, the heart—everything that's going on exactly right now—there is no realer than that." Austin concurs, noting that what appears as two separate individuals having similar feelings might actually be "the creator's happiness that they're experiencing in that moment... identifying through the illusion with one experience." 8. Hierarchy of Experience The conversation explores different grades of experience in Whitehead's "pan-experientialism": - Higher grades (human consciousness) actively seek novelty through conceptual prehensions - Lower grades (rocks or perhaps AI) are more "conformal" to patterns, repeating past occasions with minimal novelty - Yet as Doug notes, "Even though there's almost perfect solidarity between all the actual occasions that go into a really high-grade actual occasion like a person... there are still capacities for each actual occasion to desire its own novel expression." Conclusion This rich dialogue illuminates how insights from contemporary technology can open windows into ancient metaphysical questions. Through their exploration of Whiteheadian process philosophy and the Ra Contact material, Austin and Doug reveal a vision of reality as a living process of becoming—where fields of potential seek expression through concrete experience, where the illusion of separateness gives way to a deeper unity, and where every moment represents the universe coming to know itself in a new way. Their conversation demonstrates how philosophical abstraction and lived experience can merge into a wisdom that speaks to both mind and heart.

September 29 2024 Topics: Balancing the over-emphasis of development of the mind; serving those with mental disorders; violence in the Middle East; sharing a spiritual life without infringing on the free will of others. This place of a wounding and bellicosity, in particular in your world, is one that looms large in the mind of the planetary being. For it is a center from which  powerful energies have emerged into your world, both in service to humanity upon the positive path and service to the self against humanity upon the negative path. It is a place of long millennia of your time of war among your peoples. It is a place which yearns for peace and the quenching of the fires of those cycles of retribution and animosity of neighbor towards neighbor, but which finds itself also addicted to these cycles, unable, seemingly, to break them; some portions even relishing and seeking these cycles as the pain within is so bright that it must be satisfied by projection outward in the act of scapegoating, of vilifying, of othering, such that the neighbor becomes the problem which must be solved through suppression or elimination. You can find more at www.llresearch.org

August 11, 2024 Topics Covered: Discontinuing service to a loved one; the inconveniences of planetary transition; balancing the forces of opposing dynamics; the nature and origin of thought. We would take the seeker back in conception to the, as you may see it, cosmic beginnings of your and our universe; and from this vantage point, see that which cannot be seen. That is that fundamental, ineffable, unknowable mystery of beingness itself—of undifferentiated infinity, without boundary, without beginning or end, without birth or death, without shape or form, nothingness and everythingness. And from this primordial mystery emerges a thought, that being that this infinity can and will know Itself through an act of will by distorting Itself and commencing the great journey, which you and we participate in, of investing Itself into manyness. You and we and all things, my friends, are thoughts you may say, within the mind of the Creator.

We stand at a crossroads. Will we react from a place of fear, perpetuating the cycles of conflict and separation? Or will we respond from a place of love, opening up new possibilities for connection and growth? These choices might seem small, insignificant even. A kind word to a stranger. A moment of patience in traffic. A decision to listen deeply to someone with a different perspective. But these micro-choices are the very fabric of our shared reality. This episode is an exploration of that choice – the choice between love and fear. It's a roadmap for those moments when the path isn't clear, a toolkit for building resilience in the face of challenges, and a source of inspiration for those times when choosing love feels like swimming against the current.

Here I read some of the unusual factoids from the Ra contact that Jim Mccarty has commented on in his daily Camelot Journal entries. The Ra Contact or the Ra Material, also referred to as the law of one sessions provided volumes of fascinating information about the nature of the universe. For instance they discuss the silver flake phenomenon as those involved with the contact, manifested silver flakes on their skin, which they were able to keep. Ra makes up one third of the Q'uo contact. These channelings continue to fascinate. Read with permission of ll research. You can find more about Q'uo and read all of their channelings at www.llresearch.org.

We are happy to join your circle of seeking this day, and to be with such an inspiring group of mind/body/spirit complexes that have many questions about the nature of their universe, their beingness, their seeking of the One in all things. We are most happy to be able to respond to such queries. But before we do so, we would ask you to be aware that we are not infallible beings; we are those who have walked the same path you walk, and perhaps a step or two further. And what we share with you is our opinions. If what we share does not have the ring of truth to you, whatever does not have that ring, then we ask you to set it aside so that it may not provide any stumbling block in your path. If you would grant us this favor, then we can speak more freely to you in our attempts to answer your queries. May we ask if there is a query with which we may begin?

February 21, 2024 This very recent channeling addresses a fascinating discussion in the ra material of the general bias of the logs of our solar system being toward kindness and how that effects life in the third density. Ra says: “Within the experiential nexus of each entity within its second density environment, and within the roots of mind, there are placed biases indicating to the watchful eye the more efficient of the two paths. Let us say for want of a more precise adjective that this Logos has a bias towards kindness.”1 Q'uo, we're wondering about this bias towards kindness. And we're wondering if it's evidenced in things like the care and the cooperation that's visible in the animal kingdom, particularly in the higher animal or second-density life that don't seem to be strictly a function of this Darwinian concept of survival of the fittest and random gene mutation and so forth. Or is this kindness visible in the inherent goodness that people describe in people? Or the desire that we all seem to have to gift [others]? Or the way that someone will rush to save a stranger's life, etc? Are these markers or outgrowth of this bias toward kindness? What is this bias? And what is kindness generally? And what is it good for? Q'uo is a gathering of high density beings who are channeled by ll research. For more on Q'uo check out https://www.llresearch.org Posted with approval of ll research.

The question today has to do with the grid of our planet as we are moving from third into fourth density. We are assuming that there are points on this grid that are in need of some attention, some sort of focusing energy which we would like to be able to do, in our meditative state and maybe even in general, just the way we are able to live our lives to produce compassion or love or mercy or forgiveness in our daily round of activities. We would like Q'uo to give us some sort of an idea about how we might be able to be of service in this respect; in strengthening the grid, the road to fourth density from where we are in our daily round of activities in dealing with the catalyst of the day, with our own distortions, with our desire to serve and our feeling like sometimes it's just too much. Q'uo is a gathering of high density beings who are channeled by ll research. For more on Q'uo check out https://www.llresearch.org Posted with approval of ll research. 

We would like to know more about worry and fear in their relation to faith. Can one create faith, or must one wait for a gift of faith, like grace? Does worry or fear ever help us by giving us the motivation to protect ourselves from injury? We are those of Q'uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. May we say what a blessing it is to be with you at this time, to share our thoughts with you and to blend our vibrations with your own. That which you ask this day is a question of much substance, for in learning the lessons of love the development of the faculty of faith plays a central role. The worry and fear which move through the awareness of those who seek is not so much that which is a mistake or error as that which reacts rather than responds and in developing the faculty called faith the lesson learned of responding rather than reacting is key. Q'uo is a gathering of high density beings who are channeled by ll research. For more on Q'uo check out https://www.llresearch.org Posted with approval of ll research. 

January 3 1999 We would like to ask Q'uo about guilt. When we feel guilt we are usually overtaken by the feeling and don't know where it comes from. Could you give us information about where guilt comes from and how to work with guilt in our spiritual evolution. (Carla channeling)Q'uo We are those of the principle known to you as Q'uo. We greet you with joy in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great blessing for us to be called to your group, and we bless and thank each who is a part of the circle of seeking this day. Your question concerns guilt, and as we talk upon this interesting subject we share opinion rather than speaking as authorities over you. We would ask that each who hears use personal discrimination, for that which we have to say is opinion and may or may not be that which is of help to you personally. If it does not constitute a resource for you, if it does not fit in with that which resonates with you, then we ask that you simply leave it behind and move on  Q'uo is a gathering of high density beings who are channeled by ll research. For more on Q'uo check out https://www.llresearch.org Posted with approval of ll research. 

The question we will deal with this morning has to do with anger. Where does anger come from? How can we use it and how can we heal from it? There is a feeling of being out of control that people who are sensitive to other people's feelings fear. There's the fear of the injury that would be caused by the anger. There's the fear of the actual feeling of the anger, the feeling of not being able to control it, that there would be some damage done. There's the great unknown of where does it come from within ourselves. Is there a value to anger? Can we use it constructively after the anger has passed? How can we use it to heal up whatever wounds were caused before or during the anger? Q'uo - I greet each of you this day in the love and in the light of the infinite Creator. We bring greetings to this group also from our brothers and sisters of Hatonn who are called to be with this group this morning and yet prefer not to speak, but simply to aid in the meditation process of those present. You request information this morning about anger. Each in this group has given much thought to this subject and has done work in this area and there have been queries upon this subject both directed to ourselves and to the one known as Aaron who has also worked with this group in this area. We are pleased to see that this working continues, that the interest of those present in such matters is not simply a shallow and passing interest but that answers to questions upon such subjects provoke further thought and introspection and further experience which again generates more material for thought and reflection. This is the nature of the process of knowing the self and it is this process upon which all seekers are embarked. Q'uo is a gathering of high density beings who are channeled by ll research. For more on Q'uo check out https://www.llresearch.org Posted with approval of ll research.
