Session #102 – July 10, 1988
Gloria’s Circle

Present: Betty Welty, Jeneeka, Owen Cramer, Sidney Smither, Jnana Sivananda,
Joni Schultz, Jon Paul and Peter Valiton

For attunement we took three deep breaths, chanted three AUMs, invoked Khamael,
Gabriel, Ratziel (Divine Ideation brings us what we need to know), and Raphael (Divine
Process fulfills, completes, and perfects what we learn).

Sheariam: Good morning students and friends. We welcome you back to the fold.
Member: We welcome you back. We missed you greatly.
Sheariam: We especially welcome those who are new to this effort. We would ask
that you each put your name in the circle. (Group complied toning names in unison
three times.) Very good. Have you been practicing? (No just anticipating.)
You have indeed been through a trial by fire. We are most gratified that you
have come through, not unscathed, to be sure, but more whole, more compassionate,
more empathetic, more sensitive. We will not this morning take up the lesson of the
Wheel, but would discuss with you certain things about which we would have you
think.
Give consideration to the fact that humankind is an ecological anomaly on
this planet. Among all of the native life forms only humankind has the capacity, the
desire, the drive, to do that which enables it to war upon its own kind for purposes
other than survival and perpetuation. As humankind has generated those patterns
of greed in its Desire Body, so it encourages other species to do likewise. It has only
been since the advent of humankind upon this planet that other species have grown
to war upon each other.
Now, indeed, there are those plant forms which, if permitted, will take over
where its neighbors used to live. In those areas which you term “jungle”, the
predatory nature of certain plant life is becoming more empowered. This is as a
result of humankind’s thought. This is the word “Thought” as given on the Wheel of
Karma. Humankind is the only species empowered with sufficient ratio of volition to
Consciousness to create those thoughts which enable self-destruction. Such seeds of
destruction were not present upon this planet until the advent of humankind.
Now even within your own circle, among those whom you should love most,
you have demonstrated these seeds. You have responded to those patterns in the
Desire Body which are self-destructive. It is to your credit that you strive to
establish new patterns in the Emotional Body. That striving is what makes it
possible for you to be here at this moment in this place.
This is what we seek from our condition. Those who are not only willing but
eager to move all life forms on this planet forward into new methods, new modes of
thinking. That is the desirable future: to seek, not only to restore ecological balance
which is an impossibility, but to create a new balance, a new freedom, a new
Quantification of this planet. That can only be done as humankind Quantifies itself.
It is as though humankind has created an environment in which all must be
turned inside out to release that embodiment of negative empowerment. The Desire
Body must be open. It must be open to view. As you secrete your hidden selves, you
allow those Race Thoughts to fester. Then they erupt in personal activity in which
you participate unwillingly but without sufficient Volition to resist.
Only when you are sufficiently able to live your lives in a manner such that
your life is open to view by anyone at any time can you be said to be living the
purest, most un-shadowed life possible to humankind on this planet. Mankind as a
whole is not yet ready for such vulnerability. It is few indeed who are able to view all
of themselves. Self knowledge is of primary concern. To perpetuate your circle, to
continue the teaching, to be of that state of mind which will permit you to receive
that which we have yet to give, you must work hard, strongly, to examine those
secret recesses of yourselves, to relinquish, in fact, to cast out those parts, those
patterns, those desires which keep you enchained.
As our lessons go forward, we will be discussing those evolvements which will
be the formulation of future generations of planetary inhabitants. While the
pendulum has indeed swung, and your life style cannot be perpetuated, there is
abroad among humankind sufficient numbers who are now not merely seeking
Peace, but insisting upon Peace. That permits us to anticipate a future humankind
population upon this planet.
As such thoughts are broadcast, it is as though you soothe the ruffled
feathers of the universe. It is a balm, a soothing ointment to a painful, irritating
rash. The skin of your planet has been extremely irritated by the toxins, by the
noxious thoughts, the hatred, and the exercise of Dominance in error. Small groups
such as you are meeting everywhere on your planet in accordance with your culture
and system of belief. That, with one creative thought, guarantees the future. Finally
it has penetrated the awareness of enough people that their home is imperiled, and
action is being taken. We have great celebration that this is so.
It is with joy that we welcome this reconvening of this group. We have
yearned for you. You do not have any conception of the love in which we hold you.
A parent’s concern for its child does not go as deeply as our concern for you. Like
parent to child, we can only guide. We can only advise. We cannot do for you. You
must fall and skin your knee, and we shall pick you up and wipe your tears and
comfort you. But grow you will, and in that we take great joy. We are gratified that
our efforts are received. Your love to us helps us grow, helps us as we move in our
creative thought processes to prepare our future. All futures of all life everywhere
are affected by this minute life form on this tiny planet.
Let us dialogue. We would converse with you of your concerns, your
questions. How may we assist you? How may we help you?

Owen: It’s been a year almost since we last met. In this time we have come a year
closer to what I believe you had mentioned as rather severe and extensive earth changes
that might be expected. I think it was mentioned by early in 1989. Does this change in
numbers of people that are demanding peace, looking to the New Age thinking relate?
Has this changed the outlook for the severe earth changes? (To some degree, yes.)
The schedule is still about the same, but the severity might be less? (Yes.) Is there
any more you can say about the details, geologic, weather? (As given before, first signs
are climatic. The general topography of your planet will be changed, in some
instances, great, major disasters, in others more slow, gradual changes. But
humankind has not yet come to realize its effect upon this process, which is
unfortunate, but is the way of Evolution.)

Sidney: At the first open meeting, I think it was #46, Karansa mentioned
something that she referred to as “spacial ice storms” as a precipitating factor. I never
have fully understood what was meant by that. Can you elaborate to some degree on that?

Sheariam: Since you are unaware of the physical laws which would apply to such
phenomenon, it is impossible for me to give you the details, for you would not grasp
them. In effect, what you will experience will be increasingly lower temperatures in
certain areas of your planet and increasingly higher temperatures in other areas of
the planet. At times certain areas will be covered with ice as a result of spacial
action rather than atmospheric action.

Jon Paul: Is this then what is referred to as the “shifting of the poles”? (It is what
various and sundry psychics have picked up on which they interpret to be the
changing of the poles, since you are accustomed to polar ice caps.)

Owen: Does this imply then that there will not be shifting of the poles? (Not as it
has been determined, in this prediction mode, if you will. But in the natural manner
of interaction between the planets and the sun, and between the solar system and the
galaxy to which it belongs. However, the polar shift which you anticipate, using
stars as your navigational aid, will change because the solar system is changing. The
occupants of this solar system are changing relationships. These extraordinary
circumstances are not purely conditions of this planet, but the life forms on this
planet affect what happens in the overall result.)
Would this change be very long-range and slow? (Long-range and slow what?)
As compared to sudden changes, say over a period of a thousand years the polar star
would become something other than Polaris, and the axis and reference points would
gradually shift. (That is as you anticipate it in view of past history. There will be
extraordinary changes that you do not now anticipate. That is by virtue of the
interaction of magnetic fields of the planet.)

Betty: Is that possibly occurring within our lifetimes? (Beginning. Even now it
is begun. Check with your scientists. You will find that the axis of your planet is
wobbling in an arc greater than it has before.)

Jon Paul: How can we best prepare for these changes within our own
consciousness? (As I just said to you, begin to expose to the light those secret inner
recesses of your very own selves, that no part of your life contains secrets.
Relinquish that need to protect. Fill all of your space with all of yourself. Be open.
Let others know who and what you are, even if it disappoints them. You have no
obligation to fulfill another’s expectations of you. But if you make a promise, you
must keep it.)

Betty: As I strive to attain inner peace, I ponder more and more about peace and
what it really is and what it really means. The thought occurs to me that we can attain
peace here on the planet by subjugation of various people, or by them being dominating.
(That isn’t true.) OK. And yet I’m not at all comfortable with that kind of thing. Could
you give some more thoughts on the attainment of peace?

Sheariam: Peace is a personal thing. Peace is not being angry because you are
affronted. Anger is just when it derives from invasion of your space. That perimeter
of your space is a very delicate, fragile thing, difficult to determine. But perhaps, to
understand real peace, you must first understand happiness. Happiness is not
something to be pursued, or owned, or captured. Happiness is functioning
optimally. Whatever it is that you do, you do it well, without stress and strain, and
happiness happens. In that happening you find you have peace. You cannot make
Peace. You cannot build it, construct it, force it.
Peace comes from within. Peace will be among all men when all men are at
peace with themselves. Subjugation has no part in true peace, only Self-Mastery has
Peace. Do not expect Peace in a Mideastern heart that has for centuries had its
sophistication degraded and destroyed by cultures of less sophistication. That anger
is just. The cultures that are now angry, that are at great unrest, are so because
their equilibrium was disturbed by the very factions against which they now
struggle, those factions, taking it as an affront that the angered one is angry.
Going back to the opening remarks this morning, humankind is an ecological
anomaly. It is part of the Desire Body pattern of humankind to want, to desire that
which belongs to another. In the getting of that, humankind has the capacity to
rationalize into reasonable logic any action which will permit the taking of what is
wanted. This basic assumption must be changed if humankind is to establish in the
Emotional Body those patterns which will permit the Creative Thought necessary
for the desirable future. It is humankind’s option to increase the store of ideas in the
Mental Body from which forms of lesser Volition can draw in order to be creative in
thought and Quantify their Quality.

Betty: If one finds oneself in a situation of stress or strain, can you give some
guidelines or thoughts to work on to deal with this situation?

Sheariam: One must first examine: what is the true function? How best can that
function be accomplished? Let us say for instance that it is the function of a hinge
on which a door must swing. If that hinge is not properly installed and thus its parts
are under stress, and if that hinge is not sufficiently lubricated so that its moving
parts can move without friction, it will be so uncomfortable in its functioning that it
will cry out in distress. Then a workman must re-install and lubricate in order for
the hinge to be happy in its functioning and to operate optimally.
Now in the human condition, this is also true, if the human has not installed
himself properly. If he is not functioning in the way in which he is designed to
function, if he does not have adequate lubrication, he is going to cry out in distress.
So look to what it is that you do. Is that what you are designed to do? Does it take
optimal advantage of your talents, of you skills? Do you have the lubrication of love
and appreciation in what you do? If these are not so, the body cries out in distress.

Betty: Thank you. That’s a lot to think about. If the body cries out in distress,
can…. What I’m trying to put into words is the difference between wrong thought
patterns to an actual…. In other words perceiving a situation, as different than it actually
is or responding to a situation different? Can the body’s stress be something that is
perceived in the person, and not in the situation? (The body’s stress is that cry of
distress because of improper installation or inadequate lubrication. Remember also
that attitude has to do with installation. Attitude is that mental and emotional stance
in humankind taken toward a circumstance or situation. If one recognizes that one
creates one’s environment, then the attitude can be changed. When the attitude is
changed, that is the re-installation of the hinge in its proper place. Lubrication of
love and appreciation come from within as well as from without.) Thank you,
Sheariam. That was what I was trying to ask.

Sheariam: Inasmuch as this is our first visit in such a long time for you, we must
bring this meeting to a conclusion. We love you and we bless you, and we ask you
now to join us in a brief meditation.
Betty: May we express our gratitude again for your return? We appreciate it.
(You have just given us some lubrication. (Laughs.)

Sheariam: Be relaxed and at ease. Breathe deeply and regularly. Allow the
tension in your scalps to drain away. Allow your awareness of yourself to expand.
Relax in all of your parts. Imagine, if you will, a small mountain stream, the
freshness of the water as it bounds over the rocks. As it becomes impeded by the
rocks, flows over the pebbles, it is held within a certain flow by the gentle banks
upon which grow green, lush plants. Standing tall above all, the trees reach skyward
and the sunshine filters through the apertures between the leaves.
Imagine yourselves to be that streamette. You are the flowing water. You are
warmed by the shafts of sunlight. You are cooled by the breeze. Still you flow, gently
but steadily, held by the environment about you, your banks, but you can change
those banks. Flow against them. Little by little they give way to your persistence.
The spring from which you flow is the source of your being, never ending, always
fully supplied, flowing you out.
As the waters of you rush against the boulders in your way, you simply flow
around them. But ultimately, the power of your flowing against them moves them,
and you change them, while they do not change you. You remain your same, flowing
self.
There are times of drought in which you seem to become less. You become
more concentrated. There are times of flood when you become very rushing, and
full and bursting. Then again you find peace and calm, and settle down into the
ocean of life, enriching and enriched by that flow. While there are times and places
in which your flow goes underground and becomes secret, sooner or later it surfaces
again in order to reach that ocean.
Let this now be a time in which you surface, in which you bring your flow
into full view, to be warmed by the sunlight and cooled by the breeze, so that you
flow peacefully, efficiently into the ocean. For you that ocean is the Mental Body.
What you are, what you think, what you do, enriches that Body, creating a
storehouse of riches from which all Life may draw.
And so it is with great love and blessing that we bid you go in peace and great
joy. Take joy in each other as we take joy in you. And so it is done.
