Carrie Hart & Quado


 * Author's Books * Author's Articles *

Carrie is a poet, singer/songwriter, spiritual healer and channeler of Quado. She is also a management consultant in Information Technology and a former CIO and Vice President of a Fortune 50 company. Her ability to move effectively in all of these worlds gives her spiritual messages a distinct mix of the artistic, the spiritual and the practical.

Carrie's exodus from the stressful world of corporate management and introduction to the worlds of creativity and spirit is the topic of her autobiographical book, There is a Garden. It is also the force behind the songs of her CD, "It's Personal", written during the same time period covered in the book. 

Carrie was a late bloomer, both in spirituality and psychic skills. She had not even heard of the term "channeling", when an unexpected job loss opened her life to a new world. As Quado has often pointed out, the doors to the garden of spirituality can often best be seen when you are lying flat on the ground, having lost all that you thought was most important.

Throughout this experience, Carrie has been led by spirit, rather than seeking it, both in her contact with Quado and later with Running Wolf, a Native American shaman spirit who introduced her to spiritual healing. Click here for more on Running Wolf and spiritual healing.

Carrie lives in California with her husband, Ed. They share their home with Katie, a beautiful, perfect dog saved from the shelter, and Oscar, an orange tabby mouser who appeared at a gas station in response to Carrie's wish for a cat.

There Is A Garden

There is a Garden, a Song in Spiritual Time, is taken from Carrie Hart's journals. It chronicles her journey, from her loss of a coveted executive position, through her fears and self-doubts, into her explorations and growth as a poet and songwriter, and finally to her discovery of a special gift, the ability to receive messages from a spiritual guide, Quado.

'A Message from Quado' - Weekly Column

A Message From Quado: About Suffering
Published at eSpiritCenter-General Spirituality on November 21, 2004
A reader asks:
Please speak about suffering.
Quado responds:
One must be very careful in answering this question, for suffering is a very personal thing. And any answer which makes light of your particular experience will seem unworthy, will seem as if I do not understand the extent to which you suffer. And yet, I do, I do. 
A Message From Quado: Success
Published at eSpiritCenter-Motivation & Self-Help on November 14, 2004
A reader asks:
A new and breathtaking challenge faces me. I have no foggy clue as to which way to go. I don't see what to do here and now, and don't see the long term path. I need assurance of success, or none of the phenomenal effort will have been worthwhile. And without success, there is no point in living. Can you help?
Quado responds:
Let us first look at what is meant by success. If you are defining success as some predetermined goal toward which you will work, if you are defining it as accolades from other people, as achieving something they have set out for you, then you must know that there are no guarantees that you will achieve this. 
A Message From Quado: Glyphs
Published at eSpiritCenter-Earth & Space Sciences & Mysteries on November 7, 2004
A reader asks:
I would like to know the significance of the Glyphs, or Crop Formations, and why there is such a dense concentration around the Silbury Hill and Pewsey Vale areas here in England. Also, why do I and many others feel such attraction and feeling of kinship with some of them?
Quado responds:
It is interesting, that with all of the miracles and unexplained phenomena around, in fact abounding all around you, that some people tend to focus on one of them as being particularly amazing, causing others to take a stand against them with grim determination. 
A Message from Quado: Death and Acceptance
Published at eSpiritCenter-Journeys Into the Light on October 27, 2004
A reader asks:
Recently I experienced the death of a dear young friend, the death of a treasured pet for many years and now, just yesterday, the death of our young kitty. She died without an obvious cause and without either of us being there with her. Does Quado think that perhaps my young kitty’s death has something to do with an experience I had about 6 years ago when I lost my most cherished pet and how I dealt with her death back then? Perhaps this kitty’s death is another opportunity for me to find a way to reach deep down within myself to find a way to deal with losing someone important to me. Can her death possibly have this purpose in my life? I am saddened by her mysterious death and with the death of my friend and my other pet just recently, I feel the need to have her death somehow explained.
Quado responds:
You are grappling with several difficult and important concepts. 
A Message from Quado: I'm Not Getting What I Want
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on October 17, 2004
A reader asks:
A few years ago I decided that I wanted to become a doctor and have since worked extremely hard in school to raise my school average so that medical schools would consider me for an interview. I have never wanted anything so badly before; it truly is my dream to become a doctor. It seems to me that ever since I became focused and decided to set goals for myself that nothing I have really wanted has materialized; I have not yet been granted an interview, and smaller academic goals that I have set for myself have not been achieved either. In the last few months I have felt overcome with anger and disappointment, and have felt almost forgotten or betrayed by the Universe. I am feeling defeated and feel like a failure and wonder what I am to learn from all of this?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
A Message from Quado: Money Issues
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on October 10, 2004
A reader asks:
Money seems to be one of the lasting stumbling blocks in my life. I have a lot of resistance and angst come up every time I pay the bills and I put it off until I have spent some of the money that needed to go to the bills. While some of my resistance is around the job of paying the bills, crossing the t's and dotting the i's, most of it seems to be around the feeling of lack, having to balance the scales. But when I finish doing this and all is paid and in line I feel really good! I have tried gratitude for what I have, lighting candles, making it a special time. I am still resistant and fearful around this job. Do you have any advice?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
A Message from Quado: Angels in Dreams
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on October 3, 2004
A reader asks:
I had a wonderful dream recently. I was sitting on the grass along a river and saw a beautiful rainbow. It was jagged with brilliant colors of purple and orange. It was so beautiful I was saying over and over "Oh my God, oh my God," and then a figure of an angel appeared coming out of the rainbow almost like a light show. It then turned and fell to the earth. I thought "Fallen Angel", although I did not know what I meant by this. I was then lifted upward into the air. I was very light and was not afraid. I wondered if it was my time to die but somehow I knew it wasn't. I came back down toward the ground and awoke at the same time. I felt like weeping. It was a mixture of joy and sadness at the same time. All in all it was a remarkable and beautiful dream and I feel touched in some way. Any thoughts?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
A Message from Quado: Expanding Your Psychic Skill
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on September 25, 2004
A reader asks:
I have been doing automatic writing with my guide for about a year. I feel the sense that there is more. How does one move beyond the automatic writing to maybe voice channeling or to clairaudient? Is this a question that Quado would have some insight on for me?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
You are, of course, psychic. Every time you know that it is your sister on the other end of the phone line before you pick up the receiver, every time you get a “gut feeling” about something, every time you turn left instead of right and run into a long-lost friend, you are using your psychic skills.
A Message from Quado: Attraction Between People
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on September 18, 2004
A reader asks:
When you are attracted to a member of the opposite sex, can there be more than just the attraction element at play? I was wondering if sometimes there is a link between you and the person you are attracted to on a soul level. Maybe you were attracted because of having a past life with them. Is there such a thing as the soul of the person you are attracted to talking with your soul on another level, and then when you interact with that person it just feels right?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
All of this can be true and most often is true. 
A Message from Quado: Recovering from Grief
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on September 12, 2004
A reader asks:
I am torn with what I call grief or missing or sadness, and am not certain how that fits into letting go and going with the flow. Therapists call this part of the grief process, but according to my reading and understanding it has to do with forgiving and letting go of an attachment. How does one let go of missing someone? I awake some mornings with a jolt of realization that I really miss someone special to me. That person's presence, touch, smell.....I can't provide those things myself. What exactly is grieving or missing according to Quado?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
There are things happening to you on many layers and levels. 
A Message from Quado: Your Soul Mate
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on September 5, 2004
A reader asks:
I do believe that for everyone there is another human with whom one can relate perfectly (let's say a soul mate). Lately I feel, energetically, the presence of a man around me. Is he my soul mate and if he is, is he incarnated and we are going to be together?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
You would be wise not to place the expectation on someone that they must be perfectly suited for you, that your relationship would be without challenges.
A Message from Quado: Prayer
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on August 29, 2004
A reader asks:
Does Quado have any insights on prayer? If all is already in Divine Order, then does it really help to pray (especially for others), or does it just help us feel like we are doing more than just worrying?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
It is not my purpose, now or ever, to discourage you from any belief or practice which brings you comfort and helps you to live a more peaceful and fulfilled life.
A Message from Quado: Winning the Lottery
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on August 22, 2004
A reader asks:
Has Quado ever addressed winning the lottery? That is, does Quado have any advice for a person who is trying to become financially free by systematically, persistently playing the lottery? I have an intense desire to become financially free so that I can devote more time to my spiritual growth and to serving others in a capacity that I'd REALLY enjoy.
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
Playing the lottery is like praying to have a truckload of apples fall from the sky into your garden rather than planting an apple tree. 
A Message from Quado: Destiny
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on August 15, 2004
A reader asks:
Three years ago, when I followed some bioenergetical treatment, my whole life changed: I started to be seriously interested in all the books that dealt with the real self, I discovered more about me and I constantly feel some sort of energy in my hands. I believe that I could have a special task to do in this world and I cannot understand what, yet. Maybe I am just deluding myself, maybe I am just so haughty to believe that my role in this world would be a special one (I came to understand that each of us has a special task to do, even if it is a small one, it could help someone else to accomplish their task) . How can I find out what task I have to do on Earth, what am I supposed to learn and how can I meet my destiny in the best way I could?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course. 
A Message from Quado: Money
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on August 7, 2004
A reader asks:
I notice that some people who are channeling Spirit are charging a lot of money for workshops, tapes, etc. I know people must earn a living and that it costs a lot to produce workshops and tapes, but I am wondering if God or whomever would not want the information available to the masses rather than charging fees which some cannot afford.
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
There are many people who do things which are helpful and necessary to people who charge money for what they do.
A Message from Quado: How Can I Connect to My Higher Self?
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on August 1, 2004
A reader asks:
My first question is: How can I get in contact to my higher self? I cannot get a connection to my higher self and I am desperately seeking it. And once I hear a voice within myself which I think it is my higher self, how can I distinguish between my higher self and channelings of other light beings?
My second question: I feel very drawn to all kinds of channelings and other New Age topics like ascension to a higher dimension and it feels very true to me. But I also read teachings from enlightened people who teach that there is nothing to seek, and once you are enlightened the seeking stops. Everything else is described as a concept. How does this fit together?
Quado, do you have an answer to these questions?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
A Message from Quado: Healing the Past
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on July 25, 2004
A reader asks:
If I am to live in the now and set aside the past and the future, why am I told that I must go back and heal the past, I must reach my inner child and heal its pain and anger and resentments to be able to live now? Should I be working on past issues or is it enough to simply say the past is gone and cannot be changed and then move on from there?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
The answer is very individual, as each person deals with the past differently. 
A Message from Quado: Moral Obligations
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on July 17, 2004
A reader asks:
This is a moral question more than anything. My ex-wife, whom I have been paying off for the last five years, has not paid any income tax for five years. She owes a lot of tax money. Does Quado think I have a moral obligation to report her? The rest of us have to pay taxes; is it fair she does not? I would like not to report her.
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
Do not confuse moral and legal issues. And do not confuse your own anger and what has happened to you in the past with righteousness. 
A Message from Quado: Tending Your Garden
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on July 11, 2004
A reader asks:
I have had a patchwork quilt of a life, constantly moving and exploring new places, programs and interests. Now I am 37 years old and still "drifting." I haven't saved any money, don't own any property and live paycheck to paycheck. My dream is to open a center which focuses on helping people evolve in their next step in consciousness. But I feel stuck as I'm working a "survival" job and barely have the time or money for life, let alone building a dream from nothing. How do I instill the means to go from survival job to passion work and sustain my financial needs?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Yes, of course, of course.
A Message from Quado: Remaking Life
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on July 4, 2004
A reader asks:
I've been unemployed for 11 months. Everything I've tried to initiate to bring in an income just hasn't made it off the ground (my crafts & my massage therapy; I am qualified in aromatherapy and hot stone massage). I am obviously in the wrong frame of mind & do not have enough positive energy to stop the downward spiral. In between all this, my marriage is breaking up and being in my present financial position doesn’t make things any easier! I don’t want to sink so low into this rut that I am unable to get out. Are you able to help me get my thinking on track again?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah yes, of course, of course. 
A Message from Quado: Overcoming Anger
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on June 27, 2004
A reader asks:
I have a question about anger. My first response when I feel I've been wronged or hurt is to become angry. It worries me that I am too much of an angry person. How can I accept that people make mistakes and that I will get hurt sometimes, without being angry and bitter all the time?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
The best remedy for your situation is to understand how deeply responsible you are for your life. You are responsible for every choice you make, for every response to situations, and for getting yourself into the situations which bring forth certain actions in others.
A Message from Quado: Healthy Relationships
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on June 20, 2004
A reader asks:
It would appear I have a problem with commitment in terms of physical/emotional availability. Either I unconsciously choose a significant other/spouse who is physically/emotionally unavailable, or I flip-flop and am the one who is unavailable. Is there a way to cut through this pain I give/receive and shorten whatever lessons I need to learn in order to be emotionally healthy without spending years and a fortune in therapy?
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Ah, yes, of course, of course.
First, you must eliminate the idea that if only you would change some part of yourself, if only this and if only that, then you would achieve a perfect relationship with someone that would make you perfectly happy. 
A Message from Quado: Experience Yourself
Published at eSpiritCenter-Channeling on June 13, 2004
A reader asks:
Are we here now because of our individual spiritual choices or because we were birthed through fate? If we're birthed through fate, then we can never evolve above our original spiritual state ...and I somehow sense that we're leading, through our human experiencings, the evolution of the whole...
Quado, do you have an answer to this question?
Yes, I am pleased to address the issues in this question. But first, I would like you, for a moment, to stop thinking and just feel. Feel who you are. Feel your presence.
