this seems an amazing passage to me:

...the energy, the information, and the inspiration that you need is close to you. if it is not we who offer it to you, please be assured another source will come to you, for that which you desire always comes to you, one way or another. if you will use this discrimination and listening to what we have to say, it will enable us to speak freely to you without being concerned about the issue of free will. we thank you for this consideration.

you ask this day about teaching and learning, how one teaches and how one learns. that is a question of enormous subtlety.... almost every q'uo reading contains such "free will disclaimers" each with a spin of variety in them. reflecting on this here seems ideas of both teaching by example, and of teaching what one desires to learn.

it may be likely that one of the lessons that q'uo struggles with relates to issues of free will - as if the first distortion is close to the last which is grappled with.

take by metaphor a pet which one acts as guide to and guardian of - there can be a desire to look out for this pet for its best interests because the love for the pet is so immense, or is that some infringement of some sort?

what if the pet is so stupid that it doesn't know what's good for it? here it seems there can be a disparity of "knowing" which is so easy for the guardian, and yet so difficult for the guarded.

so the challenge of the guardian seems to detach in some way alowing the guarded to experience (itself) in ways it desires, bearing the hardship of observing misdirection by the beloved...can you appreciate that tension?

it may be that suggestions of this in a repetitive sense ease the learning of this important lesson, which may be slower and more difficult to learn later in the higher densities.
