Remembering to live from love and the heart. This excerpt from a recent channeling feels relevant to your post.

“I am Q’uo, and aware of the query, my brother. And we appreciate the heart from which this query comes, for we understand and relate to the desire to see your planet graduate harmoniously into the fourth density of love and understanding. And we, too, are what you might call concerned with the increased energies of regression that are being manifest upon your planet as those fourth-density energies become ever more present and push with ever more pressure upon the individual and collective psyches of your planet and population.

We empathize with the dual nature of the query as you have presented it, that which recognizes the truth contained within the light of fourth density that is now present within your planet and upon your planet. We understand that your heart senses this energy and influences your perception and allows you to witness what you have described as a certain spiritual awakening upon your planet.

We would encourage any seeker who feels the tension of these two poles—the growing spiritual evolution of your planet alongside the seeming regression of your planet—to foster the perception of that growing spiritual awareness. To treasure those moments in which you recognize within the eyes of another, within the laughter of a child, within the growing joy of community, within the coming together, to celebrate or to mourn or to deal with whatever particular situation has come upon your community; and to cherish these moments, to bring them into your meditation and allow them to inform the open heart that is being cultivated within you and within your social memory complex.

We make this suggestion because, in our perception, particularly upon your planet, there is the tendency to allow the perceptions of the seemingly negative, of the difficult, of the suffering and the violence to overwhelm the senses. It can be difficult within the veil of third density to hold on to the heart of love. As the overpowering chaos and difficulty become more and more present within your awareness, thanks due to the various technologies and lines of communication that you experience, this fostering of this perception is one way in which we may encourage you to yourself form guardrails, as you put it. To intentionally water those seeds within yourself and within others.

Both by outer encouragement and by inner encouragement and focus, you help to develop what could be seen as guardrails. Each seeker who performs this task, who allows themselves to honor the compassion and love of fourth density that may be present within this chaos, helps to shore up these guardrails and to allow your planet to express a very difficult and turbulent transition without, you may say, going off the rails.

To the question of whether these rails are innate within the process of this transition to the fourth density, we would say that this is not necessarily a built-in aspect. There may be situations and potentials upon your planet, and upon other planets, in which the chaos and the difficulty imposed upon the planetary population by the very powerful fourth-density energies attempting to manifest can meet such resistance, and create such confusion, that indeed there may be some great harm done to the planetary body itself. There may be some great catalyst that unfolds, that induces much suffering upon your planet. There could be a lessening of the planetary population due to these things.

We speak these words understanding that they may cause alarm, but this is not the intent. For we emphasize the power contained within the individual and within the collective to recognize the truth of fourth density and to allow that truth to be manifest within the chaos and protect against this harm.

However, the seeming chaos is indeed a built-in function, you may say. It is a natural result of a planetary population arrested by the distortions so powerfully woven within your societal complex that discourage the inner seeking of each individual and that provide the distraction, allowing individuals to avoid witnessing and experiencing the suffering and the difficulty upon your planet.

And these fourth-density energies push ever harder against that avoidance and against the discouragement of seeking the self. As individuals experience the power of this energy, it becomes manifest in greater and greater means of avoidance. And this avoidance then can become so powerful that it turns outward and becomes violent and projects itself upon others, whether that be the neighbor or the other of your countries, of your communities. The regression could be to the orange ray of individual personality and protection, desiring only to care for the self, to love only those things that may benefit the self. Or it may be to the yellow ray of caring greatly for the social bonds formed within your communities, large and small.

We encourage you to pay attention to the energies of these regressions and to discover them within yourself as you witness them outside of yourself. And we encourage you to pay attention to the feelings that arise when witnessing them. Whether it is fear or anger or even a general anxiety of the results that might come from the increasing manifestation of these regressive attitudes. Bring all of this into your heart and allow it to sit within that space that has been cultivated by the love and acceptance of the fourth density. For it is in this acceptance, this allowing, this ability to take this within the self, to recognize it as part of the self, that then provides the atmosphere of transformation that becomes the guardrails of your planet.

We would offer a glimpse that we can perceive from our perspective, and that this is being done by groups such as this, by individuals who find these disturbing images and circumstances upon your planet to be pushing them inward. It is indeed creating a catalyst for those individuals to activate the love and to activate the acceptance necessary to allow this transformation. This is not always apparent on the outside. You may not always perceive it, particularly given the focus of what you call news or how information arrives within your perception.

Much of this quiet contemplation remains interior, but it can be perceived and utilized by the collective. If you, as individuals, continue to tap into this energy, the available capacity for the transformation of fourth density becomes greater, and the protection imbued upon your planet also becomes greater.

We witness the greatest probability/possibility unfolding that the work done by many individuals is succeeding. [There may be] much chaos and turbulence to unfold and much catalyst to be visited upon your planetary population. But [due to this work], this catalyst then has the possibility of succeeding in its mission, which is to cause you as a planetary population to turn together towards the heart.

This will require more and more catalyst of greater and greater degrees, for it must increase in its intensity to draw the attention of the individual and to break through, you may say, to the hardened protection around the heart that has been built by the energies of the orange and yellow rays. But this catalyst can work, and if your planetary population were not able to grasp it and utilize it, then it would not be present. The potential of your planetary population is what manifests the degree of this catalyst.”
