Session #101.5 – May 6, 1988
Silverthistle Healing Seminar at Collins Retreat

Silverthistle visited the retreat Friday evening, Saturday morning and twice on Sunday.
There were twenty-three attendees.

(Friday Evening)

Silverthistle: Greetings, beloved ones. My channel and I have worked in other
manners for so long, but I was determined to speak to you.
It is time for the work to go forward. I’ve reached you again, those with
whom I spoke last. It is with pleasure that I come. It is time, and time far gone, that
you work in higher levels of consciousness and effort. Too long have you remained
ignorant of who you are. You are few, it is true, but to chase the shadows takes only
one light, no matter how dim. You must shine your beacons if you are to make your
contribution to your kind, to your home and to the futures of those whom you love.
It is not sufficient that you lead a good life. It is not sufficient that you be
content. It is important that you be radiant, that you radiate the truth of what you
are. You are truthful beings, are you not? Of course, you are. Do you know the truth
of your being? Do you?

Myra: Sometimes I know, but sometimes I feel like I miss the mark.

Silverthistle: Yes, and we all miss the mark, time and time again, until we reach
perfection, but that does not prevent radiation of your truth. How can you radiate
your truth if you do not know it? You must seek it, and if you were not seekers, you
would not be here. You are seekers. Some of you may recall the trip you took with
me into the temple. Do you recall? (Yes.)
It is my intention to take you again by the hand to explore new territories,
areas of consciousness as yet hidden from you. It is no longer satisfactory that you
merely seek that which brings you discomfort and disease. That is the beginning.
That is where one starts: with the examination of the light, the hazards, the
obstacles, the “I can’ts”. It is for you to find the “I won’ts” and “I wills”. That takes
higher consciousness. That requires more Volition. That requires the utilization of
all of your Quantity.
Then you add more Quantity. There is no limit to what you can achieve.
There is no goal impossible for you to reach. There is no star too far that you cannot
visit it. You are not confined to this small surface. You do not even live the greater
part of your life on this little surface. The greater part of your life encompasses
vistas you have not yet imagined.
I wish to sponsor that exploration within you, for it will be the explorers that
take your species into the future, a future that is now possible, that a whisper of time
ago was all but lost. You have many, many, many who join you, unknowing to be
sure, but that is of no consequence. You do many things unknowingly, but still it
gets done. That is what is important: that they be done.
When you give a moment of thought to a future of peace, of honor, of equity,
you have banked enormous wealth for your species. Yet to you, it is nothing but a
moment. Even in moments of distress, you will say, “I wish”, “I wish things were
different”. “I wish things were better.” “I wish, I wish.” In that thought you have
created something. You have created that for which you have wished. But failing to
know that, you do not further its growth. You create so much, idly, without
forethought. Your least thought establishes something.
This you must come to realize to embed that knowledge within your
awareness: that a wish does not remain a mere wispy thought, but is built upon, is
brought to fruition, in the way that you would have it, not for someone else, but for
yourself. How would you have your future? If you could chronologically extend
your life 100 years of earth time, what would you have? Have you ever thought that
you do create what you will have 100 years from now? Do you realize that what you
have now was created by thought in a forgotten past? It is not just yesterday. It is
not just tomorrow. It is all the yesterdays, and all of the tomorrows, that you are
living today. Let today be that Radiant Life. Let it be that joyous hymn. Above all,
let it be, not make it be. Let it be. Call it forth. Create knowingly, and be willing to be
recreated in a more joyful whole mold. That is my message to you.

(Saturday morning)

Silverthistle: As I promised, I am here to dialogue with you, to discuss your private
concerns, your individual needs. But let us confine our discussion to the topic at
hand, that being those physical discomforts and diseases which are the
manifestation of other causes. You may ask questions, being courteous to each
other.

Betty: Silverthistle, will you please expand on what you said last night about not
seeking these physical diseases and discomforts.

Silverthistle: There is great power inherent in physical disability. When your
power seems to be waning or diminishing in some particular area, it is a natural
avenue for the human in earthly condition to seek a condition that will enhance the
power. Under the Law of Dominance, this often is found in the manifestation of
some discomfort or disease. As you focus your attention upon those manifestations,
which you believe you are merely coping with, you come to understand that the
cause is not what you wish to believe it to be. It is not easy to admit to one’s self that
your discomfort is a manipulation of your environment, but it takes that admission
to develop the Volition to evolve a more positive manifestation. The most positive
manifestation is joyous beingness. In a state of joyous beingness, one has no need for
disease or disabilities.

Sue: Silverthistle, I’ve had a long-term middle back pain. Then in the last year,
my elbow is sore to the point where my arm is sore, and I don’t have the strength in my
arm, my right arm. I would like to know where all this is coming from. What is behind it?

Silverthistle: The body manifests in its parts in correlation to the cause. As you use
your back to stand upright, therein lies pain. You must examine your motives, your
circumstances, your choices, as to what there is that you feel you cannot stand up to,
to face, or confront. Tendonitis is a physical manifestation of a lack of ability to
make right connections and bring those right connections into proper function. So
character must be analyzed to see what parts of character are not cooperating with
each other in order to accomplish the goals desired.

Michael: Last time you were here I had some back pain I asked you about, and you
said I was trying to shoulder too many responsibilities. You recommended that I quit my
job. I haven’t been working for four or five months and these pains are considerably
better. They are not my main concern at the moment. Now I have this tremendous
anxiety, and kind of depression. It centers around: before I was doing the wrong thing to
fulfill myself. Now, I feel like I’m in the wrong place. I live in the wrong place, so I drive
around looking for places where I feel more comfortable, but I can’t figure it out. I have
all this opportunity, and choice, and so forth, and I have this anxiety focused around
place.

Silverthistle:Geographical place is immaterial. It is important that you find your
place within yourself, that focus which best allows you to express your power in a
way that benefits others. You have a very strong drive to help, to help people, to
help the earth. But most of all, you must first help yourself. This does not require a
latitude and longitude. It requires expansion of self-understanding, of self-meaning,
of self-purpose, and a definition for one’s self of the contribution you desire to make.
Then, you find the vehicle which allows you to make that contribution. Your anxiety
stems from having no direction, or not having found that means of expressing that
creativity which constantly wells within you.

Michael: Wouldn’t a particular place, like being in the woods, for example, and
away from people, help to foster, or getting out of my current mish-mash of relationships,
help foster…. I don’t know what I want. I don’t know what my direction is.

Silverthistle: One only finds oneself in solitude, and acknowledging that you need to
reserve your space in isolation is a positive step in self-understanding. You tend to
seek answers from outside of yourself, whereas the answers you seek lie within your
own memory. A retreat which permits you to withdraw from human input would be
an excellent beginning step of self-discovery for you.
Michael For example into nature or another country? (Again, you seek to escape
into a culture. You need to first withdraw from culture.) Going to nature?

Silverthistle: This is one avenue. As you seek to escape into rather than out of, you
continue to find that input which covers the truth and reality. You must disrobe the
trappings of civilization and get in touch with basic essential reality of power.
Sometimes for the human condition, this requires survival circumstances. Only
through the loss or dismemberment of acquisitions does one find that bare reality
from which consciousness cannot be divorced.
Maria: Silverthistle, may I make a request? Can you give me a clue as to what is
causing the disease in my left shoulder? What am I doing wrong, or not doing?

Silverthistle: You must question yourself as to what undertaking is the focus of
your attention which denies you the opportunity to combine subjectivity with
objectivity. One can become unbalanced, that is to say, disorganized in one’s energy
systems pattern when one attacks an endeavor from one sole stance rather than a
well-rounded program.

Betty: Could you please enlarge on what you mean by “one sole stance”?

Silverthistle:Human nature has the capacity to become enamored of a particular
avenue. This may be an avenue of total control, total intuitive approach, or total
worldly approach, or total freedom approach. Whereas to live in this earthly
condition, one must combine the aspect of earth substance with the aspect of
intuition, combining that which is known within, with that which is known without,
and find that roundedness, wholeness, rather than approaching from one direction
only.

Jean: When at the last session you told me that I had to work on relinquishment,
at that time it had one meaning for me. Now, it has a very different meaning, and during
the time I’ve had a great many experiences, many of them physical and some emotional.
And I feel now that I have much more energy than I had at that time.
I have several questions: One of the relinquishments I’ve come to recently is to
give up milk, and other things, too, but I really like milk. I do have a lot more energy, and
I wondered if it is necessary to give up milk, or if it’s other things that have been
happening. Also I feel that the focus of my life purpose has come into focus much more,
and I think that is the healing. Can you bring me up to date on the meaning of what’s
happening? It seems that there’s a much more coming together of the physical and the
spiritual and more understanding, but I still am seeking.

Silverthistle: In your relinquishment you have relinquished biases, prejudices,
opinions, beliefs. This is a required step for change. So long as one persists in a
particular mode of thought, then other possibilities are denied. You have opened
avenues of possibility, which now permit you to evolve some potentials which had
remained repressed throughout your lifetime. It would behoove you to give up all
animal products. You would find that the benefits derived would far outweigh the
benefits of the enjoyment of the products then relinquished.

Joni: Is that a specific to Jean, or is that….?

Silverthistle: Indeed, yes. (It is specific to Jean.) This particular earth system which
you now inhabit, suffers greatly from many accumulations of ingestion of animal
products at a time when the animal products were not proper for human
consumption. And now from your far-memory the body responds.

Vivian: Silverthistle, I have a question on my present progress in learnings and
dealings and awareness… Am I on the right track? Should I continue as is? Or should I
make some changes in my approach?

Silverthistle: You also are being constrained by certain belief systems and biases
which are not in and of themselves hurtful to you, but in the banishment of these
barriers you can then ferment and promote the blossoming creativity.

Katherine: I have a question: I have two daughters. Each of them has two tumors.
Those of one daughter have been diagnosed as cancer. The others have not been
analyzed. The fact that I’m here on Mother’s Day weekend may show a certain kind of
loving detachment.

Silverthistle:Cancer as a human disease is a physical manifestation of the utter
belief that one no longer has control. In order to conquer cancer, one must become
acutely aware of the power one can exercise over one’s own destiny. Cancer is a
manifestation of a giving up, of a defeat attitude. Anything that you can do to assist
a cancer-afflicted individual to change the attitude, assists that individual to
conquer the disease. There is no such thing as an irreversible process.

Katherine: The one who has been diagnosed is following medical procedures, but is
also exploring spiritual help.

Silverthistle:A visualization technique which is most efficacious is that of
transporting cellular tissue. In the case of a tumor, visualizing the tumor as made up
of blocks, such as children’s building blocks in miniature. Visualize taking those
blocks apart, changing that structure. Re-arranging the blocks permits that imagery
to travel to the cellular consciousness of the cells making up the tumor and gives
them the opportunity to change their direction.
So long as one treats one’s disease with the concept of “I shall get rid of this”,
so long will the cells resist being gotten rid of. One might as well get rid of one’s
children. For one has given birth to these cells, which are doing something one
considers undesirable. If you would have the maligned become benign, then retrain
them. Visualization is one of your most powerful tools for this to occur.

Katherine: What’s the best way for me to help as a mother?

Silverthistle: Bless. You cannot do it for your daughters. You bless, and you bless
again. You visualize your daughter’s opportunities opening to her for her to take
action. If she invites your advice and help, sit and visualize with her, but do nothing
to her.

Jon Paul: At last year’s healing retreat, I asked about certain attitudes that I needed
to relinquish and you said that I need to (words not clear on the tape). I’ve gone through
quite a process of change this last year, and I wondered if you would relate that to how it
affects my physical body, relinquishing, and could I get an update on what I’m working
with? Any ideas?

Silverthistle: As you relinquish those attitudes of, let us say, crime and punishment,
you permit the digestive system to operate more efficiently. So long as your attitude
is one that you are falling short of fulfilling goals established for you by another, so
long will you suffer internal complaints. Examine your goals. Examine what it is
that you wish to contribute to mankind as a whole. Then examine how much of your
bias comes from those around you which you empower by acceptance.

Jon Paul: In other words, be open to viewing new possibilities, and growing into
those possibilities. (Yes. Be unafraid.) Would this also refer to geographics? I know you
spoke earlier about geographic change not making a difference, but it could. (For our
friend, it does not answer his question. For another, it could.) I have a desire to learn
Spanish, and I’m not sure how that fits in, other than the fact that I’m working more with
Spanish-speaking people. Could you say anything to that? (You are reaching back to
touch that life that is now being lived as another part of the being that you are.
Later, I shall attempt to guide you, and all of you, to acquaintanceship with that
most near life form that has a bearing upon what you are and how well you are
what you are.)

Jenika: I was at the last healing retreat with you, and I was able to use your
advice. Thank you. I have some more problems that I haven’t been successful in dealing
with. They are all on the left side of my body, as all the injuries I’ve ever had have been.
I’m curious about that. It’s my left arch, my left knee, my left ear and my left neck and
shoulder. I’m most concerned about my ear and the arch in my foot. I’m also concerned
about my knee. But I’m most concerned about my ear. If you could address that, too,
Why it’s always one side of my body. If you could speak to me about what I want, and
what my blockages are, I’d appreciate it.

Silverthistle: Fear. So long as those blockages exist, you have excuse for not taking
the risk that another part of you dictates. You count the cost and the price seems too
high. Until you are willing to accept what the price appears to be, you will never
know what the real price is. Then you find that it is not a cost at all, but is, in truth,
a prize. (I’ll have to think about that. Thank you.)

Edith: I, too, am concerned about an apparent continuing loss of hearing. Would
you care to help me determine what the cause is and what I can do about it?

Silverthistle: In general, loss of hearing is a choice not to listen. For you,
specifically, you choose most often not to listen to your inner dictates and by
developing a physical disability called hearing loss, you have an excuse not to listen.

Steve:(Question about insomnia and allergy.)

Silverthistle: You continually keep your nervous system stimulated. You have not
taught yourself the benefit of true thought as opposed to thinking. When you begin
to control that thinking process which seems like a train headed at full speed down
the track, when you can bring that to a halt, and give yourself time to look around
the landscape and be at peace, then the opportunity for true creative thought can be
enjoyed, and taken advantage of. This will be the peace which will allow you to
sleep, and in turn will assist in the reorganization of your imbalance.

Betty: I need some help with the physical body. I seem to be exchanging one
physical problem for another, and I can’t find solutions. I need help to release the need
for this discomfort. I feel that if I could get in touch with the thought patterns and the
mental processes of what goes on, I might make some progress. Could you please give
me some help as to what is happening in my body.

Silverthistle: You choose obligations and responsibilities and then compulsively
drive yourself to fulfill them. You find it difficult to withdraw and detach and allow
others to make mistakes, because you count the cause as your own. When you cease
to expect perfection of yourself, knowing that the ideal can exist without being fully
manifest, you will give yourself the latitude that will not require blockages. As you
block off one portion, you empower, you think, another portion. Whereas, in fact,
you inhibit the full expression. Do you understand? (Not completely.)
Some of the responsibilities that you choose, involve what you see as the
responsibility of others also being yours. If that other fails to fulfill the
responsibility, then you compulsively must fulfill the responsibility, since you have
adopted it as your own. You are unwilling to allow the worst to happen. Sometimes,
in order to release blockages, one must let the worst happen to find out that it really
is unimportant.
You see, it is a system of values. This is true of all of you. You establish
certain values, criteria of accomplishment by which you can judge yourselves.
Relax. Ask yourselves, “Is it necessary that I judge myself? Are my values truly of
value? Are my priorities real? Is this indeed more important than that? Do I need to
do what makes me feel inadequate? Why do I feel inadequate? To whom do I
answer if my performance falls short of my ideal?” Does that help?
(It helps. Have I put myself in a no-win situation with my job?) At times. Not
entirely. There is never an irreversible. Do not forget that. This is not a realm of
absolutes. You are in process, and where there are processes, there can always be
change, positive.

Betty: May I ask one more question? Would the thing to do, be to visualize ideals
and go toward that, as far as the balance of life would be concerned? (If you do not add
compulsiveness. You may be impulsive. You must not be compulsive.)

Mary: Silverthistle, this is Mary. My knees will not hold me in a bent position.
Therefore, I can not go up and down stairs as a normal person does. My knees have to be
straight. I don’t think it is arthritis, because I can bend the knee. It’s not stiff. It just will
not hold the weight.

Silverthistle: Because the tendons which allow the knee to sustain weight in a bent
condition have been stretched too often and have lost their elasticity. Therefore, in
addition to the physical therapeutics which would be applied, in consciousness, you
must develop elasticity, which, then permits the tendons to return to proper length
and strength. (Are you saying that I am too rigid in my thinking?) You tend to stretch
and then not return. Elasticity.

Jean: Can you tell a visualization that would help to overcome a loss of bladder
control following a prostate cancer treatment? (You understand that sphincter muscles,
like any muscle, require exercise to maintain tone?) What if the nerve has been cut?
(Nerve can be re-grown. There is no irreversible. Please believe.Any tissue in your
body can be re-grown if you choose. Visualizing a sphincter muscle opening and
closing at will retains the cellular consciousness and re-grows the neurons which
carry the message.)

Joni: This is the first time I’ve had a chance to meet you. I want to thank the
teachers for the wonderful life reading I received. It was so special. I have a couple of
questions regarding that: On a physical level I’ve had ongoing issues with my bladder,
and I would appreciate any guidance in dealing with that. Also I’ve started to work in
chlorinated water again and find it very unpleasant to me, both for my skin and my head
with congestion. Can you offer me some suggestions on what is happening and how to
deal with it?

Silverthistle: Oxygen neutralizes chlorine under certain circumstances. Before
exposing yourself to the chlorinated water, do some deep breathing and increase the
oxygenation of your blood stream so then your body can handle the chlorine. This is
the physical thing which you can do. At another level you can, through visualization
and affirmation, train your brain to perform those functions which do not allow the
chlorine to have cellular effect.
The channel must be relinquished. I will rejoin you later. (Thank you’s, etc.)

Sunday morning:

Silverthistle: Let us not waste ourselves idly. Let us proceed with that for which we
came. You have dealt with the physical organism in discussion and some
experimentation. You have considered levels or conditions of consciousness. Let us
now address those other realities in which you exist, in which you have meaning,
function and creativity.
Close your eyes. Withdraw your focus of attention from who you think you
are at this moment. With your capacity for imaginative visualization, imagine
turning about within your physical organism, so that you see out your back. At first,
it may seem to be blank or dark, obstructed. Be at peace. Arrive at a condition of
comfort in this disoriented relationship with your physical organism.
Now begin to allow the focus of your attention to unfold, gently and slowly,
moving out from the back of the physical organism, following those pathways of
circulation of your force, so that you are moved upwardly on these pathways of
force. You are leaving your physical organism in its cellular awareness, seated in
your chair in this room. This rising is an unfoldment. Begin to feel the freedom
outside that physical organism. As you become accustomed to this unusual freedom,
you will become aware of other intellects and personalities in your vicinity. There is
nothing to fear. You are not only guided, but you are protected. It is safe to look
around you, to see whomever is there for you to see.
You will not learn anything that you are not supposed to know at this time in
your development. As you witness the presence of people, you also begin to witness
their environment, the products which they have created in order to do their
developmental process. You cannot interfere, but you can witness. You can become
aware of that dimension and the people therein, among whom you find those who
are heart-linked with you, and you are welcomed.
Among those presences, seek one who welcomes and invites you to move
together. There are those of you who find yourselves on a tropical beach, because
that is where a part of you is now living in a child-like culture, natural, happy, in
tune with nature’s forces, non-oppressed by civilization’s requirements.
Now, to those of you who find themselves on the sere plains of an alien
planet, do not dismay. You are merely experiencing the environment of another part
of your beingness.
Those among you who are experiencing an existence deep beneath the
surface of the ocean, know that in other times you trod upon that land when it was
not below the surface of the ocean. Because life makes a lasting imprint upon the
matrix of the universe, there is there those mementos of mental creation that you
can touch, recall, that re-vivify your memory of when you lived there and the
conditions under which that life was lived.
Those among you who find yourselves deep within the bowels of the
mountain, know that that, too, is also one of your experiences which now is
important in your development. The life lived within the shelter of those mountains
may have been harsh, but at that time, you did not know it was harsh. It only
appears harsh in comparison to what you now know.
To those of you who are still on your travels into far, far distant areas of your
galaxies, be patient. For there is a home to which you travel, where you shall find
that heart-link, that other self of you to which we shall speak after a while.
To those of you who travel into the past of your now time, to another culture,
another way of life, meet there that spiritual ancestor who is you in another
condition with other skills, with other loves, with other concerns.
In all of these varying experiences, as you find these heart-mates, there will
also be other personalities that have links with people in the environment of the
personality which you have left momentarily. So be observant. Feel the texture of
that world in which you now visit. Be aware of the nature of the creativity being
there exercised. Be aware of the products of that culture or civilization, or time, or
nature. Communicate. Ask questions and listen for the answers.
Now, know that at any time you so desire, you may explore these other
regions in which you are existent, safely. Take the rewards of the knowledge that
you gain and when you are ready, begin to come back, approaching this physical
organism, entering as you left. Gently. Gently. And when you are once again safely
inside this physical organism, face about and re-orient yourself to the head, the
arms, the legs and the torso. Become again comfortable within the body. Bring your
awareness back to this room. When everyone is again present and comfortable, we
shall discuss your experience.

Karlene: Silverthistle, this is Karlene. Thank you for taking me to the South Sea
Island or wherever it was with all the flowers and beauty and vegetation. I felt so
comfortable there. (And whom did you meet?) Maybe I’m not ready to meet anyone
yet. I didn’t meet anyone.

Silverthistle: That is well. You may return when you wish, for there is one there
who is you. It is important that you make acquaintanceship with the part of yourself
that lives there as an independent personality. That natural life gives some
substance to this life, which in some respects is not natural to your beingness, but is
artificially contrived to accommodate the requirements of the civilization in which
you live.

Katherine: I invited to come with me an old someone from my childhood, a man
whose name is Walter, who was kind of a father figure. I felt he was there as sort of a
medicine man, and was my father. (Did you get in touch with that part of the now
personality that has that secret knowledge learned from the shaman?) I felt that I
was a small child. (Indeed.) I was just taking for granted all of the part of his healing. I
just took it for granted. I wasn’t exploring the mysteries. (But you can, and you can use
the knowledge of those mysteries to assist your now daughters. Be at peace.)

Jon Paul: I was taken to the coast of Eastern Mexico. I met a regional healing
shaman there who gave me information on simplifying my life and what to keep. I am
going through a lot of change right now, a lot of jettison. Also Ted, the healer, gave me
information, but it took me to an understanding of why I was in that part of the world,
and what you talked about yesterday.

Silverthistle: Yes. This is, indeed, not only another facet of your beingness, but that
personality is now a member of your source group and thus has more direct contact
with you. So you do not need my guidance to make that contact. It is there and
available to you at all times, and it is through that urging that you have developed
the interest in another language.

Jon Paul: Can I best use this in another culture or is it primarily to be used in this
culture? (It is to be used in this culture with that guidance. You best do it by doing it.
You begin by beginning.)

Jenika: I went to another earth and met this very happy, healthy, young,
independent person named Anna, who was about twenty. She lived in the forest. She
wore bright red clothes, and she was very pretty. She bartered everything and fed herself
and pretty much stayed away. I asked her, “How would you like to have a regular job?”
She said that would make her sick. She lived very happily in the forest. (That is you.
That is a now you in another reality. It is that connection with youthfulness that
keeps you from being an old person before your time in the chronology of your
earth existence.)
Does this have something to do with why I’ve been drawn to camping the last
year or two in the forest? (To renew youthfulness.) Would this help in healing me?
(Indeed, yes.)

Sue: I was taken to a very barren place. It appeared there was a group of people
there standing all around me. One in particular came up and held my hand. This person
was a man who had the feeling of someone that I have known in the recent past who was
very helpful to me. Then I was looking around and saying there’s nothing here. It is so
barren. This person took me by the hand and led me into what was his home, which was
kind of like an underground home. In there it was very beautiful and warm and very
wonderful. (That, too, is another self of you, but it is a life independent of you.
Through that association, you can be more clearly certain of the bare necessities, so
that you can ascertain that which is window dressing and that which is necessary to
your developmental fulfillment.)
Is my living simply in the country connected with that? (Indeed.) And is that
something I should stay with? (In that the externals are to remain simple and plain,
but take the lesson from the other self that one beautifies the interior for one’s
personal enjoyment, not for the enjoyment or impression of another.)

Michael: I was taken to an Indian campfire. I’m not sure where it was. It was near
water. I could have been at a river near the coast of Chile. There was one brave who
seemed to acknowledge me. He looked a little like you. There was a translucent stone.
I’m not sure what it was. Something used in healing. I had the feeling I was just copying
what I’ve read places. I was then given the vision of white people. There was no brown.
There was a young woman there who I really didn’t say anything to. Then I was brought
back to the campfire, and these people knew each other.
So I asked the brave about the vision-quest, because I’m still not sure of the
details of these things. Do you fast? How long is it? How far away do you go? He said,
“Hold the feeling you have right now and extend it, and do whatever is necessary to
absorb that feeling. (Excellent advice. You had somewhat of a combined experience
where you met that which is a part of you now existent in another reality with the
experience and wisdom gained through the developmental processes of that reality,
along with those members, the white people of the mist, who are part of the source
group of both of you. It is for you to go with the feeling and not give credence to self-
doubt. Love yourself. You need that.)

Myra: I had a wonderful trip. When I went out the back of my head, it was not
dark. It was very beautiful, bright green. I began to soar, and I met a member of my
source group named Iklebaar, who soared with me. We began to rise and went into space.
We kept soaring and soaring and when you described the different places people might
be, I was still soaring with Iklebaar.
Finally, I said, “Where are we going, Iklebaar?” Instantly we were in the Pleiades,
and we were in a most amazing place where there were trees like I’ve never seen before.
The trunk went up, but the branches kept growing straight up and out like a funnel. The
colors were indescribable. Then I landed beside a river where there was lady in a
beautiful garden of Eden kind of place. It wasn’t a cottage, and it wasn’t a hut. It was like
a room that was made out of branches that the bark had been peeled off of. She had
prepared a beautiful living room outside. It was wonderful.
I think I saw a microwave there, and I couldn’t believe I saw a microwave. But
she was very happy. Then I looked down and there was a village of people there. Then
you told us to come back, and I didn’t want to. (I do not believe a comment that I could
render would add to your experience. You know how to get there. You should go
back, become familiar, and gain through the knowledge that is there for you. You
also lived there.) That’s why I yearn for that. Thank you.

Joni: When I left my body, I invited my guides to go with me, and we went up
above the earth and re-connected with part of me that I sense was part of the founding of
this planet. There was also a being of light who was charged with the obligation of
protecting the planet. When I first met this being, there was a great deal of distress. This
was a few months ago when I felt a great deal of distress at there not being enough of us
to protect the planet, and things being out of control. When I met the being today, and all
the other beings of light out there, we had a wonderful meeting. There were more of us,
and there was more energy to protect the planet. There was great joy, and it was just very
special, very overpowering. (Quite true. Again it needs no explanation from me.)

Steven: The feelings that I got seemed authentic, but the imagery does not, so
much. I met a being, and I’m not sure if I got the name correct or not. “Jelrad” is what
seemed to come through, but basically, the message was what was important. I asked him
what he was doing that I might teach. And he said “Learn what’s in yourself, your inner
vista, before you start teaching.” And that sounds like real good advice. (Indeed so. This
is a member of your source group to whom you can apply for assistance to enhance
that knowledge of self that is wisdom.)

Vivian: I found myself at the beautiful beach on the island with trees and such. I
was hoping to meet one or two or both individuals there, but it was all just darkness, and I
saw no one. (You are not ready yet to withstand the power of the individuals who
await you there. Go back often in acceptance and certainty of the self confidence of
integration, and soon you will meet those powerful entities who await you in your
source group, who are there to advise and to encourage and to assist you.)

Betty: I would like some clarification. On the ascension I met a being that I
called “Red”, who accompanied me. When we were talking about a location, it seemed
that I was next to a body of water. I walked out on a log. A child was there, a little girl. I
asked who she was, and she gave me the impression that she was my daughter. I looked
around and couldn’t distinguish anything fully. It seemed that there might be other people
there. I could not distinguish. Also, I came in contact with what I believe is an Indian life
that I have somehow re-connected with. It dealt with problems of war and peace and
gloom with that situation, and so forth. Occasionally, I looked back to my friend “Red”
for security, and he nodded that everything was OK. But I did not understand. (Because
the experience is incomplete. Go again until you understand that meaning of those
lifetimes which you are to use in this lifetime.) Are both of those past lifetimes? (Yes.
And daughter is daughter.) Is “Red” part of my source group? (Yes.) Is that an all right
name? (Certainly. Nothing wrong, since there is great energy.)
I felt just as we were coming back that I was looking down into the depths of the
earth or something. I have had fear of caves. Was there any significance to that? (A cave-
dweller who perished in a cave-in.) Once I seemed to have had the image of also being
crushed in what felt like a pyramid setting in some ornate chair. Is that another lifetime?
(Yes.) I have not gotten in touch with another life being until now? No. You are still
dealing with reincarnational material, and that is proper.)

Silverthistle: Let us then draw to a close and give the channel a relief.

Later:

Silverthistle: I rejoin you. We have some unfinished business. Then we shall part,
each to go his own way, to carry within oneself those bits of love and perhaps
wisdom to help you grow, to draw nearer to the places in which I dwell, so that in
time we shall share more intimately. For now, I shall address a few more questions
before I bid you farewell.

Marlayna: This week end has been my first week end with channeling, and I’ve had a
question on my mind. Lately I’ve had very many feelings of sadness, despair and
restlessness. Last summer I had ankle injuries and throughout the summer, I kept re-
injuring my ankle. Lately, just injured my knee. Also, sometimes I have gastrointestinal
disorders and I wonder if and how it’s all related.

Silverthistle: You have reached that point in this chronological span of experience
when it is time for you to grow into contentment and find those stimulants to
intrigue the imagination which lie in the realm of consciousness, rather than in the
realm of earthly geographical places. Your body manifests those disabilities which
indicate to you to become more stable, to remain in place, to find your place and fill
it. Until you do so, you will continue with your digestive disturbances, for you are
not ingesting life experience in such a manner as to be properly assimilated, to be
enjoyed in comfort and pleasure.

Marlayna: Does that mean in the present living situation and job situation should
become more stable? Is that what I should stabilize? (It is for you to find that within
this situation which is joyful, and then expand upon that activity which gives you
joy. Thus it will bring joy to others and recompense to you.) I guess I have a lot of
resistance. Is there something in my life I can expand upon besides this job to get joy
from? (It is time for you to be creative, to use that wonderful imagination, to put into
expression, into manifestation, the experiences that you have gathered as a rolling
stone.)

Joni: Please help me understand why I manifested such an unpleasant headache
last night. (You had permitted your physical energies to become overextended. You
had allowed your circulation to become impeded. In so doing, the brain tissues
suffered lack of oxygen. The tissues of your body lacked oxygen.)

Sue: I need some guidance from you on the dilemma that I seem to be in as far
as not being able to decide where I should live and what job direction or career direction I
should take. (Less confusion than fear. You have great fear that you will not be
adequate to the job which you envision. You need have no fear, for there is much
help from our state, from our condition. There are those who urge you. If this were
not so, you would not be as confused.)
Is the direction you are talking about that of working with businesses on day care?
(There is great need. It is at this time that only what you call big business can put
into effect that which your social structure has created as a need.)
Will my living out in the country in the lifestyle I’ve chosen in the last year get in
the way of that, or be a help, positive or negative? (It will assist for it will enable you to
enjoy simplicity in which you can have quietude to consider the major
consequences, difficulties, which will require resolution. It will provide that isolation
which enables you to be objective, to detach, to avoid being caught in the net, which
those with whom you must deal will attempt to ensnare you. The undertaking is
great. The responsibility is great, but you are not unequal to it. You must have that
detachment that will keep you from being manipulated by those who would serve
personal ends and see such as opportunity in your projected efforts.)
Will I need, in the meantime, to do some other job to survive, or will I not need to
do that? Will I need to go back to the Child Development Specialist job to survive while
I’m doing the other job? (It is for you to incorporate all of your expertise. Focus
highly. Put it all to work. You need to implement activity in small increments, and
work toward the goal, rather than seek to immediately establish a large enterprise.)
That means I have to do some other work in the meantime. (Not other, but work
directly related to the accomplishment of your projected goals.) Can I ask if that’s
Child Development Specialist? (You have established a bias, which says this is this,
and that is that, and never the twain shall meet, when you need to put the walls
down. Let things flow together. Do not categorize. Do not label. Do not separate. Do
not analyze.)

Jon Paul: This summer I had a reading from Gloria Ruth channeled from the source
group and the information was that I would go away for a time from the farm. It would be
of sufficient duration that those who depend upon me as go-between would have to work
out their own situations. Does this relate in some way to my healing work and my
traveling to another country for a time to serve as an apprentice, or can I best look upon
this as a possibility for what you told me today in relation to an alternate or parallel self?
(You will be faced with a choice. Usually, it is not…. I do not wish to
predicate your actions, but given the circumstances which you have already set in
motion, yes, you shall journey to another culture, to another place, where you will
learn much, but the choice must be yours as to time that this shall occur.) I
understand that. Thank you, Silverthistle.

Jnana: I have been working to get in touch with my source group, and I wonder if
the name “Ezram Nairobi” has any significance? I received it in a dream. (Let us, at this
moment, do a small mental exercise for you: Close your eyes and reduce your focus
to a center point in the middle of your back. Allow yourself to extrude through that
focalized point and materialize in deepest, darkest Africa, at a century ago. You
find yourself in a tiny, primitive village. Walk between the huts to the fire at the end
of the village. There you will find a being whom you will know. We will leave you to
pursue that, and you shall return to this awareness when you are ready. You shall
bring your answer with you.)

Jenika: I asked you a question last night about the illnesses on the left side of my
body, and you said it was because of fear. Is there any area that I should particularly
focus on to take these risks in, or were you referring to general risks in my life, in my
everyday general life. (It is one thing to take oneself to the mountain top and be alone
on a temporary basis. It is another to contemplate being alone in open-ended time.
That for you is a great risk. Until you are willing to attempt such a condition you
will not find the riches that await you.)
Are you referring to my spiritual development? (That, too.) And my work?
(That, too.) That sounds like everything. (Laughter.) (That, too.) Can you give me any
indication of where might be a good area for me to look – into something for my next
career, or for something to make money? (You have already established that, but you
consider it a hobby.) Wine? (Indeed.) All right.
My last question: Can you tell me why all my injuries are on the left side of my
body? (Because you resist full participation in the intuitive life.)

Steven: You mentioned that a lot of my physical health problems were due to
over-stimulation of the nervous system through an overactive thinking process. Is there
any practical thing I can do to help still that thinking process, and tell it that it’s all right.
It doesn’t need to overrun on all these things? (You need to develop your sensory
systems. You do not give yourself the opportunity to hedonistically enjoy sensual
pleasure. You need more voluptuousness in your life.)

Michael: Silverthistle, a year ago I mentioned this pain I have in my right side. I
talked to you about it yesterday. I still have that. Is that connected with my general
anxiety? Is that part of responsibilities that haven’t lifted, or what is that? (You have
traveled part way along your journey. You have not completed it. You have not
grown into the conditions which you have now created, but which are appropriate
to you.) You mentioned a period of solitude for me. Could you give me some idea of the
duration of that? Is that a temporary thing? (Duration requires consciousness.
Consciousness dictates duration. It can be the enlightenment of a moment in your
time, or you may choose to make it a tedious journey of years.)

Maria: Silverthistle, would you be so kind as to make any suggestions as to what I
should be doing this summer? My projected trip? (You ask me to render judgment on
something which should be your choice.)

Myra: For the last three or four months, I have had a lump beneath my ear. It
feels like it’s getting a little bigger. It isn’t painful, but it is there. I’m wondering if I
should be greatly concerned about it, or if I can make it go away. (Of course, you can
make it go away.) Oh, thanks. I knew I could, but the suggestion was made that…
(Visualization of reduction, application of breath healing, application of tonal
healing which you can apply yourself by putting your own voice on one of these
wonderful tapes and playing it back to yourself.) Play toning back? Is that what you
mean? Put the toning on the tape? (And then play it back to treat that area.)

Jon Paul: Silverthistle, is that the same suggestion you’d give me for a problem I
have with my leg which the doctor has said was lymphatic matter within the tissue? What
is the cause of that? What do I need to look at there? (It is solidification of substance
which should be fluid. (Can I handle it through visualization the same way? (A
treatment of the subtle body. Liquefy the subtle body. (Turning to Myra) You, too.
The lump shall go away.

Myra: It’s a liquid that turns solid. Is that what you said? (Yes.)

Michael: My mother was told she had a tumor in her kidney, probably malignant.
She will have to be operated on immediately. The pain suddenly went away. Can you
give me an idea of what that’s about for her and what she can do? (We cannot interfere
in another’s choice. You cannot do anything.)

Betty: I, too, am feeling a lump on my forehead. You said liquefy the subtle
body? I do not understand that. Could you enlarge upon that? (In a short time to come,
there shall be a second training session for our healers. At that time, they are to be
taught how to deal with the head and feet. )

Owen: I have a lump below the ganglion on the wrist. Is that the same treatment?
(It is a different-natured lump. It is stemming from a loss of elasticity which you can
correct through flexibility. But subtle body treatment will facilitate its removal.)

Jean: You said that I should give up all animal products. I want to follow your
suggestion, but at this time, it seems that it is almost more than I can do. Do you have a
suggestion as to how I can follow your suggestion and still…? (Begin with the heaviest
animal products: the meat flesh. Reduce to marine life, poultry. Then reduce to fish.
Avoiding shellfish. Eventually, reduce the quantity of the fish, maintaining eggs,
cheese. Increase grains, fiber vegetables until eventually, the cellulose in the fiber
vegetables serves to fill the consciousness of the cells that think they need the
cellulose of the meat tissue.)

Jenika: And what about milk? (Avoid. Treated milk, such as cheese and
cultured milk are less harmful than liquid milk.)

Betty: What does milk do to the system? Is it a general thing like having to do
with problems with how it’s pasteurized or homogenized? (It increases the viscosity of
lymph.)

Joni: What is going on with my bladder? (You are in the process of trying to
release certain things in your life. Your sphincter muscles also believe they need to
be relaxed. So the nerves receive incorrect messages. Talk to your bladder. Tell it
what you expect of it and what you likely can expect of it, and it will cooperate.)
Wonderful! I’m told that having my psychic energies in use is draining on protein
and one of my chief concerns is in protein matters. Can you give me suggestions for
implementing ways of alleviating that issue? (Increase intake of grains which can be
tolerated and the lentil family products.) To what percentage in the diet? (At least 35
percent.)

Sue: Can you give me an idea as to why I have such a hard time being
comfortable being alone, single, and possibly some comments about what I’ve learned or
what I still have to learn from the person whose property I live on, and that relationship?
(Your fear of being alone is based on your sense of inadequacy, a programming
from past lives and early this life that said you are inadequate, that says, you are not
up to the challenge, whereas, in fact, you are greatly more capable than you allow
yourself to be. The other person is a catalyst from whom you should be able to learn
this to be true, and to capitalize upon the most excellent aspects which you have at
your command.)
But is that process about over? Because that person is going to be leaving. Is that
person going to leave? (If the process is not over, then there will be another to take
that position.)

Jon Paul: My father recently passed on and I wonder what is my father’s condition,
and how may I help him in his journey, or is it a question of looking at my own internal
healing in reference to my father? (Heal yourself. Your father is resting.) Is there
anything else in our family, in relation to my mother? (As you heal your internal self,
you radiate that blessing which will give her the strength that she now requires as
support. It does not require your physical presence. You can render this from a
distance when the times comes that it must be so.)

Vivian: I’d like to know what’s the ache I experience in my back. It’s just below
the shoulders, and it comes and goes all the time. What is causing it, and what can I do
for it? (That is a signal to you that you are over-committed, that you have obligated
yourself to perform longer or more than your body is ready to provide the vehicle
for. When that ache begins, you must then eliminate some obligations, some
commitment, either by postponement or by cancellation.)

Jenika: I’ve been told by my acupuncturist that I have a growth in my ear. I’m
seeing a specialist tomorrow. What would be the best method of treatment for that? (I
advise that I cannot advise you at this time.)

Marlayna: My life reading says that in my spiritual development the channel and this
circle or temple could be very important to my development. Earlier you said that if I
found my place or my outlet, I would find joy. Could that be found within the temple
group? (Yes.)

Steven: I’ve been told through Gloria that I have a book to be published, and I’m
very much at a loss as to the exact content of that. Could you give me some suggestion?
(We cannot write your book. It must be an expression of yourself.)

Betty: Last night, you spoke as to letting disasters happen. I am facing some real
changes, and what I feel are opportunities and challenges coming up in my life very
shortly: the job situation and mother coming back. Could you give me any more insights
as to what my lessons are? How might I best handle them? (Centeredness, that state of
consciousness which does not permit you to be thrown out of balance by any
attitudinal expression of either mother, employer or employee. As you remain
centered, you are able to be objective and see the points of fear from which these
others come.)
I have a continual concern over where I’m filling my space, and not taking
dominance over the others. I do not wish to take dominance over others where it’s not my
responsibility. Can you give me any insights on how to know when I’m filling my space,
fulfilling my obligations and not overstepping into somebody else’s?
(It depends upon the relationship. As occupation demands that you supervise
all activity of your employees, while they serve under your supervision, they become
your responsibility. It is then that it is required of you to exercise that dominance to
which you have committed, and for which you are paid. When relating to an equal,
then you must allow more freedom as to what requirements you place upon those
attitudes or fulfillment of obligation. As to mother, do not expect that she will meet
any requirements which you would wish to place upon her. That is the challenge
that she offers you.)
Is there any danger or any neglecting my duty as a daughter, or what I see as my
responsibility as a daughter, when I declare my freedom from her? (Not at all.) Will I get
signals if I abdicate responsibilities? (Yes.)

Karl: At the last retreat you advised me to see a skillful practitioner to relieve
the numbness in my feet. Well, that’s what I did for almost a year now, and some of the
numbness went away, but not all of it. Would you advise me to seek a different
practitioner? (Yes. There are two practitioners whom I am training who are present.
Why do you not ask one of them?)

Joni: We would be very happy to have you if you feel that you can come. (I am
there.)

Sue: Silverthistle, my life reading says that I should study psychology and then
be a teacher of people as far as the inner journey. How does that fit in with this day care
big business? (You will be dealing with children who are incarnating into families
which place such pressures upon them that they withdraw and need special
attention. Only through understanding the way the mind works and the way that it
is expressed through behavior patterns can you fully do the job of which you are
capable.)

Betty: I continually question if I’m in the right job doing the right thing at this
time. Have you any insights on that, considering all the difficulties I seem to run into?
(There are no rights and wrongs. You have chosen to be where you are. You can
choose to not be there. Choosing not to be there, you shall choose to be somewhere
else. Wherever you are, there will be challenges.)

Owen: I seem to be running into some difficulties at home determining where my
responsibilities are with relation to Maxine, my wife, and where her responsibilities are.
There’s much resistance and probably rightfully so, if I, according to her, “impose” my
desires upon her. I’m wondering if you could say anything that could clear this up a little
bit for me. (Much of the sponsorship of the challenge which you are meeting comes
from disconnection with reality. It is for you to preserve your individuality intact, or
you will not be able to provide the care this disconnection shall require. That does
not mean that all your desires or your wants or your activities become subject to the
requirements of that care. It is for you to provide the care, and sometimes not with
your own hands, but through your administration.)

Jon Paul: You had told me to begin at the beginning in relation to getting in touch
with this other lifetime. I have many interests in magic, nature, herbs, healing. Is it a
combination of all these things that will be unique to assist me as a healer or a teacher
combining these things? (There can be no separation between the two. A teacher is a
healer. A healer is a teacher.)

Sue: I know I have to study the temple teachings. Is there any other formal
study that I should be undertaking? (Many, many, many opportunities are available. It
is a matter of choice.) Will art play a big role? (Hopefully. Your choice.)

Silverthistle: We must now come to a close. It has been many hours in your time. I
would stay with you eternally, but the channel is tiring. Let me express to you my
love, my encouragement, and my blessings in your efforts. Know that when you do
not confront me directly, I still am with you. Go in peace and blessedness. And so it
is done.
