Session #105 – August 28, 1988
Gloria’s Circle

Present: Betty Welty, Ida Nevala, Jean Chisholm, Jeneeka, Myra Perala, Owen
Cramer, Sidney Smither, Marlayna Brady, Jon Paul Bish and Peter Valiton

After the AUMs and singing names of names, Sidney led the invocations followed by the
guided meditation “Sun of the I AM” from Circle#104

Sheariam: Good morning students. We are most delighted at this new method of
connection. There is less responsibility upon me for the vital activities of this
channel’s body, giving me greater freedom of expression and interaction with you.
This also is less stressful upon the organism. Many changes are being made for
which we are greatly joyous.
As I recall, there was a major question about our use of the word
“Dimension”. This is quite appropriate to the lessons as they stand at this point, in
that we have further discussion to be held upon the second platform of the Wheel of
Karma. Dimension, as we use it, begins to make itself known at Desire, as the Desire
Body becomes dimensional.
Now in the first platform, the reproductive processes are spontaneous. There
is no selection or pre-determination as to what pathway, or design, or ultimate form
proliferation may take. Matter is in process of proliferating itself in order to give
vehicle to Life, to formulate an outcome of the changing ratio between Volition and
Consciousness. Thus, at the primary level, reproduction must be spontaneous in
order to produce the differentiation required to ultimately bring about the perfect
beauty.
As knowingness, the utilization of Knowledge, begins, and the Desire Body
begins to grow, dimension is required. We have chosen to use your word
“dimension” because of its intrinsic meaning, rather than the colloquial meaning
most commonly accepted. Intrinsically, this word means separation, or objectivity
from the Mind of that which has the power to propagate, or God. This, of course,
includes measurement. You require dimension in order to conceive shape, or to
perceive proportion, or to grasp potency.
For instance, in shape you have a point, or a line, which is only an extended
point, or a plane, which is an extension of line. You recognize height, width, length,
angle, arc. Shape dimensions are not limited to these, but these shall suffice to give
you something to think about. In proportion, there is time, mass, density, degree,
velocity, intensity, durability. Again, dimensions are not limited to these, but these
are springboards for your study. Potency relates to creativity, conservaty, utility,
conductivity, complexity, propensity, and a word which we shall coin, for you have
no word, “volativity”, that capacity to change the ratio of Volition to Consciousness.
It is a dimension of potency.
This should be sufficient to start you on your path to understanding the
shape, proportion and potency of the Desire Body, Mental Body and the Vital Body.
A thing need not be seen or touched, tasted or smelled, to have beingness, to have
physical properties.
Do you have doubts that I exist? (No.) Can you hug me? (No.) Do you feel
me when I hug you? (Yes.) So I exist. Can you name the properties or my
dimensions? Could you even guess? (Guesses offered: Creativity, Vibration, Potency.)
But which potency? Which proportion? Do I have shape? (No.) Yes! Perhaps not
measurable in accordance with the reality which you inhabit on a regular basis, but
I do have shape in realities which you occasionally pass through. Of what stuff are
dreams made? Can you measure the road that you travel in your dreams? Can you
measure the speed with which you move? But there are dimensions there. There are
measurabilities.
Now on this second platform, you are moving from Desire to Will, and there,
again, there are many confusions for you. There is Cosmic Will, personal will,
component will, volition, Karmic will. We are limited by your language, and
sometimes we can make up words, and sometimes we cannot.
Cosmic Will or Volition is a drive to be, to act, to perform. You will recognize
in your reality that some things have more drive to perform than other things.
There is a capacity consideration. When Capacity can provide the means to satisfy
the drives, Volition increases in relation to Consciousness.
Consciousness, as a Component, is not awareness, as you use the word
“consciousness”. (For example?) I am conscious of this, or I have a consciousness of
that. You mean “awareness”, “perception of’, whereas the Component
Consciousness is the containment of all Knowledge, all experience, all of the
to-be-ness that is involved and is evolving. As you exercise personal will, you
increase that volitional capacity.
Now you were given an assignment. You were requested to examine those
“needs” which drive you. Have you done so?

Myra: We have worked at it as a group, but have come up with a lot of
confusions. (Then let us address the confusions.)
Jean: One thing that we came up with is that “wants” are what move us out of
“needs”. (Very good!) When we want something, we really begin to evolve because
we’ll pay less attention to what our “needs” are. We’ll go hungry or experience
discomfort to climb a mountain or do something we really “want” to do. (You have come
a long way since first we introduced the concept. Excellent.)

Owen: We also suggested that “needs” sustain the status quo and can become
addictions, but they do not necessarily progress us as “wants” would. (Very good! Now
what are the confusions?)

Myra: When it comes right down to identifying those specific “needs”, we talked
about the physical body’s needs, like the need for air and water, warmth and rest, but we
realize the difference between the physical body’s needs and other kinds of needs. For
example, the emotional needs, or the desire needs. That kind of thing. We looked at
where status was and realized that this really was an important need for us, and also that
it wasn’t part of our physical body needs.
Jean: And yet there’s love, which is an emotional need, but children without
love die, so apparently it’s very closely connected to body needs. People who are in great
distress are touched in love, and the body heals. So there’s a close connection. It’s hard to
say which is need and which is want in that.

Sheariam: Now I see one of the confusions. Let me reiterate. The Emotional Body
contains Attitudes and Habit Patterns which can be changed. The Desire Body holds
those “needs” which, at your stage of evolution, can be modified, seldom eradicated.
Love as a “need” is part of the Desire Body. The expression of love is given through
attitude and habit patterns, which is programmed in the Emotional Body. Love is
not an Emotion. It is a “need”.
Myra: You said expression of love is part of the Desire Body?
Sheariam: (Sternly) No! Listen! Love is a “need” deeply embedded in the Desire
Body, having begun almost at the instant of the first formation of the Desire Body.
The expression of that “need” is given voice through Attitude and Habit Pattern.
All of you are programmed in the way that you express that “need”, each
individually, according to your Karmic design, which predicated the family and
environment which you chose for this life span. Some of you have been taught that
you do not deserve the expression of love, and yet you deeply have the “need” for
love.
Some of you have been taught that you cannot give love, or that another is
not worthy to be given your love. Do you understand how family and society
programs the Attitudes and Habit Patterns in the Emotional Body? That does not
change the basic “need” for love. Everything, from mineral to the most complex
form, needs love. That is not one of the “needs” that is to be expelled any time soon
in your evolution. It was the first thing in the desire Body, and it will be the last
thing to go. When love is gone, the desire Body is no longer necessary. (Thank you’s.)

Myra: Are you Sheariam? (Do you doubt?) I’m sorry that I should doubt. I was
wondering if it could be that each of our three subtle bodies and the other two mutual
ones, the Mental and creative Bodies, do each of those bodies have their own separate
needs and wants?

Sheariam: It must be defined as to “need” and “want”. Each of those bodies has
a function. When we speak of “need versus want”, we speak to the atavistic or basic,
most simple, primary level of beingness, which is entering into multi-dimensions. In
the first platform, love is no consideration, for selection is spontaneous. On the
second platform, selection becomes natural, and so you have species that seek
species for mating, companionship, communication. On the third level, third
platform, selection will be conscious determination, purposeful, not natural.
Now, you believe, particularly in your culture, that mating stems from
spontaneous love, chemistry, if you will. To some degree, this is true. Natural
selection. Like seeks like. For that is where you find comfort, and it is where you
know Survival exists. You know that propagation requires mating like with like.
Outside of that, everything seems an abnormality to you.
That is why you are not, in awareness, ready to enter the third platform. You
have not reached the evolution of Will, insofar as the Karmic Wheel Will is
concerned. You cannot now determine your evolution. You must continue in the
path of natural selection, which, as you well know, does not prohibit selection with
awareness for breeding purposes, for you do breed animals of certain qualities,
creatures to manifest certain characteristics. But you still must depend on the
natural selection in the genetic codes. The Karmic Wheel will not be completely
satisfied until Specialization is completely determinable by its participants. And that
is not now a possibility in the evolutionary condition of this planet.

Jnana: Will we not leave the Realm of Self until we’ve specialized? (Correct.
But remember also: I am still also in the Realm of Self. You must expand your
concept of the Realm of Self, for it is less than the Realm of Ego. We in the temple
still have ego. You must move from your primary Purposes to secondary system,
which might be said to be: Faith, Hope, Charity and Unity. Do you live in these
Purposes now? Only partially. The primary four take precedence.)

Jenika: It is very difficult in this cultural system that we live in, under the
capitalist system that we have here, to be able to have a job for money to satisfy our
wants that has a spiritual thrust. (But who created the society in which you live?) Our
forefathers. (A nice escapism.) (Laughter.)
We could have jobs where we lived more in the spiritual life, but we would have
to live very poorly. (Would you?) Well, most of us have house payments to make, and
we can’t make them on minimum wage. (But that is your choice, to live in that
particular neighborhood.) Yes.
Peter: And we could use that as an incentive to manifest better conditions, then,
can’t we. (You certainly can!)

Betty: I have a question concerning the job where I work. The thought has come
back to me that it is my responsibility to take this job, which is very much into the Law of
Dominance, and turn it into spiritual growth and development, rather than let it dominate
me, for me to try to work through? (Precisely. As you spiritualize your job, you are
creating the future in which others can say, “My forefathers prepared this for me.”)

Jon Paul: Does this have to do with the concept of self-processing, that we fulfill our
Purposes? Could you discuss more about that? That was brought out last time. (Yes. We
will be discussing self-processing in great detail, for it is the thrust of the teachings
which we must encompass to complete the second platform of the Wheel of Karma.)

Betty: Could you go back and check out a little bit more about “needs” and
“wants”? It seems to me, as I was wondering and meditating and thinking about it, that I
have a “need” for fear yet. Is this an…?

Sheariam: You all have fear in your Desire Bodies. That is part of the racial
evolutionary status. It is also one of the primary goals that you now self-process to
overcome fear, to find the courage, to program your Emotional Body with Attitudes
of strength and courage to face the unknown in order to bring yourselves along the
Wheel of Karma. It is not individual fear in all cases, but racial fear. As each
individual overcomes that fear, it is expelled for all. It is a process, and it begins
with the individual in Self-Processing.
You all have “wants”. There are all kinds of things and circumstances and
situations that you would have for yourselves, and you are denied them by fear in
the desire Body which overrides the courage to pursue those goals. Some of that
power to override is due to cultural attitudes, to family and environmental
programming. But remember, please, always, that you chose that family. Thus you
chose the ingredients out of which you create the environment against which you
struggle.

Jon Paul: Is this to develop strength within our beingness so that we will for sure
bring it about? (Yes. He who meets with no opposition grows in weakness.)
Betty: Then even when we are on “the Path”, there will be struggle instead of just
plain flow. (Constantly.)
Jon Paul: So it’s through adversity that we really become strong in our spiritual
understanding and inner being. (That is why you choose to incarnate under the Law of
Dominance.)

Owen: You said “chose to incarnate”. We could have incarnated in another
civilization that primarily worked under another law? (And you have, and you will.)
Does this imply, then, that we have already successfully worked through other laws?
(No.) Any law? (There are other dimensions of you that even now live in realities
that are working under other laws. It is only this personality at this time, here on
this planet, under the Law of Dominance. There are other parts of you, other
planets also, under the Law of Dominance. But you are here by choice. It is not the
immediate choice to arrive here at this moment. By virtue of previous choices made,
with every choice, that you make, day-by-day moment-by-moment, you create your
future. You shut down certain possibilities. You open other doors of opportunity
with the choices that you make.)
You mentioned different dimensions of me as an individual are now active in
other realities. Is this me as a Self or as part of a Soul? (As a Self, as an Ego.) It’s not
just another Self of the soul that you are speaking of? (That’s also at another level of
experience. But you might say “Owen one is here. Owen two maybe in the Pleiades.
Owen three in some other totally different reality.”)

Jon Paul: At the retreat Silverthistle talked about alternate parts of our Ego that we
can get in touch with that are existing right here on the earth, or possibly other planets.
We can do this through meditation. Would you like to discuss anything about that?
(What would you like me to discuss?) How we can use that knowledge? Sometimes
these individuals are like spirit guides for us. Through meditation or through sound, if we
contact that beingness and get that experience within our own knowledge. (What can I
add to that?)
How best to make that contact? (Methodology is individual. I cannot tell your
stomach how to digest your food. I cannot tell your awareness how to alter its
perspective.) I guess I was asking for myself. What was the best way to contact?) (Now
we come to the kernel. You see, this is how the Emotional Body proceeds. There is a
need to know, but culturally one says, “I must not dominate and must not ask for
selfish reasons. I must couch my questions in such away that others can
accommodate my request.” One must have the courage to pursue one’s personal
goals, knowing that particularly in this circumstance methodology for one gives
clues for methodology for others, and it is all right to say, “I need to know for me.”)
I’m at that point. I’m in a real transition period, and I feel it would really help me
in my growth. (Give us a moment... You have in your home environment a stone
which is… the only word that we can find is an “opening”, a key. It has a riddle, the
stone, placed there by yourself many lifetimes ago for you now to solve. There is also
among your source group a shaman of great power who will aid you in discovering
the riddle and solving it. In the doing, you shall find that pathway upon which you
shall place your foot for your next journey.
Would this be the stone that Kathas (?) talked about? (Yes.) I have it now in my
possession? (Yes. It is an insignificant stone.) Blue green in nature? (Nodding
confirmation.)

Sheariam: Now how does that pertain to the rest of you, for it does? Each of you
has within your possession now that “key”, that material object, which when held in
your hand, when melding the subtle body of the object with the subtle bodies of the
organ, communicates a knowledge. It is most often in the form of a riddle. Look for
the anomaly. Look for that which seems inappropriate. Then ask yourself why it
seems inappropriate.
Give yourselves the opportunity to receive communication from your source
group. In each and every source group there is that teacher, a shaman, a guru, a
teacher of some nature peculiar to your need, who is eager, merely waiting for the
opportunity, but will not do it for you. That one is only allowed by law to guide, to
suggest, to nudge, to protect, to keep you safe.

Jon Paul: So this is a way that we can understand better through self-processing our
greater purpose in being here. (Begin with basics. What is it that gives you the greatest
most enduring joy? Be honest with yourself, because this will appear to be a selfish
motive. You have been taught all your lives that when this ugly thing emerges, you
must deny it. You must crush it back. So you deny yourself. It is for you to bring it
forth, to nurture it, to make it grow, so that it benefits everyone. Thus, it is not
selfish. It is self love. That’s the difference.) Thank you, Sheariam.

Jenika: Sheariam, now I have the courage to ask a question. I had a major seizure
last Tuesday, and I know it’s for a reason. Maybe it’s “I” thinking, to get me out of the
job that I think I need so that I can satisfy my “wants.” Can you give me any help on why
I had this seizure? (Because you would not voluntarily relinquish when given such
good advice by myself, by my instrument, and by many of those who love you. You
have chosen in this life span to live in that personality which will not let go, but will
indeed sacrifice the arm rather than release the finger. Tenacity is an excellent
characteristic, but one must also learn to relinquish, to reduce and eliminate the
fear of the unknown, for only through adventure can you grow and expand in your
experience. So long as you hang on, clutch to your breast that which is known
security regardless of the suffering or the discomfort, so long you deny yourself the
opportunity to move forward in your self-processing. And now I have scolded you.)
(laughter.)
The seizure was probably the only thing that would have kicked me enough to get
me going. (It incapacitated you, the only way that you would release your grasp.)
Peter: Thanks. That helps all of us. I appreciate that very much.
Myra: That makes me think of why I broke my hip. I guess it was the same idea,
wasn’t it? (Yes. You force and you force. You push and you push, and you dominate,
and you resist change, when change is the only thing that allows growth.)
Jenika: I used to be real care-free and adventurous to the point that when I look
back, I think,” My goodness! How lucky nothing happened to me.” (Luck had nothing
to do with it.)

Betty: A personal question for me. Am I rationalizing when I say that I work in a
job which is the best income we’ve ever had in our family, that I’m rationalizing when I
say I’m turning the job into a different kind of experience? Is that rationalizing, or are the
physical problems I’m having the result of not releasing? (Both are quite true, and
there is nothing wrong with rationalizing, so long as you understand what you are
doing. But you are so programmed with “do’s and don’ts, shoulds and shouldn’ts”
that the only way your Emotional Body can get the attention of your awareness is to
make your physical body miserable. If you would be more forgiving, more self-
accepting, more joyous in the fact that you are, not in what you are or what you are
doing, but just joyous in the fact that you are, you would greatly spiritualize the job
which gives you such material blessings. Love yourself. Quit denying yourself.)
Myra: That applies to everybody in the world, doesn’t it? (Oh, of course. But
this one has a more difficult time to love herself. She does not realize what a blessing
she is in the lives of others. But then, none of you truly understand that.)

Jean: It seems that as I try to improve myself, I find more and more crud rising
to the top. (True. But if it does not rise to the top, you do not know it is there, and
you cannot get rid of it.) But it seems like scrubbing out a pan. It’s awfully hard to get
rid of. The more you scrub, the more you find the layers underneath. (But it has taken
millennia to put it there.)

Owen: Along the same line, but applied to society in general as well as to
ourselves, last time, I presume it was you who spoke to us at the last circle. (Yes. Wasn’t
that fun?) (Laughter.) I’m glad it was successful. It worked very nicely. But you spoke
of expectations, and of some expectations as being inappropriate. I know that when we
have expectations of another, there is no contract, you said, and that’s inappropriate.
However, we do have expectations of society. There seem to be limits there, also. Could
you give us guide lines on what expectations of society are inappropriate?
(Most of them. Your expectations of your society are programs. They are
inculcated attitudes and habit patterns resulting from the family and environment
which you chose this time. It is important to look at those things, to see what it is
that is unrealistic in terms of what society is in reality. You have many generations
now, particularly in this country, that have grown up with the attitude that the
national responsibility is to take care of them, when indeed, it is the individual’s
responsibility to take care of the nation’s concerns. That must be reversed.)
So the trend of government at various levels taking care of all welfare programs is
not in the right direction. (That is definitely not in the right direction for actualization
of individual potential.)

Jean: What can you say about the present problem of gangs and prison? This
seems to me that this is entirely on the wrong track, but I can’t see… (It is one
expression of the Emotional Body in rebellion against inappropriate control. Under
the Law of Dominance, one means which is exercised to combat another’s
dominance, is to take dominance of one’s self. This, of course, is an inappropriate
expression, for we always profess to meet force with gentleness. Force, as
Silverthistle has told you, when met with force generates more force. It is only
through education and individual rights that your societal ills can be overcome.
The gangs are a direct result of the years of nationalism, and the growing
control of bureaucracy. One of your responsibilities as an individual is to be active
in the construct of your society, for you create your own environment. You cannot
say that “this is the way things are and therefore I must abide by them”. Each of
you has the power of mind to change things. We have taught this. We have given it.
We have reiterated it. We have emphasized it, and still you do not use but one tiny,
tiny fraction of the potential of your mind.)

Betty: Could you give us, as a starter, an affirmation that we could use so that we
could get hold of and have a realization that we can change things, that we can take
responsibility rather than feeling that it comes from the other side. (“I Am the rich and
abundant Life. I Am the rich and abundant Life. I Will the rich and abundant Life
manifest through me.” And all the other laws are tools for this to be. The rich and
abundant Life has no room for oppression, depression, compression.)

Myra: Thinking about the gangs and the drug problems, and you mentioned the
importance of education and individual responsibility, but you say then this drug problem
that is so connected to the economics of our world… Could it be really solved by
releasing all drugs to everybody and saying “You can have all you like”, and take away
the capitalistic profit of it? (Indeed, it could, with less governmental interference. One
of the reasons that the drug problem is not “solved”, as you call it, is because
government does not want it to be solved.)
Jenika: Because they are making money? (Of course.)
Myra: And the individuals who would go crazy and use the drugs to extreme and
kill themselves, they would prove to the rest of the world how deadly they truly are.
(What are they killing? Only an organic body.)

Jon Paul: In our society, between the two parties, do we really have a choice? (Your
mind has the power. You can control your congress, but you do not.)
Marlayna: Do we do that by sending the proper tools of love and understanding?
(“Mercy, Love and Compassion are infinitely reproduced.”)
Betty: And think in specific terms of sending it to the congress and those that
influence them? (Think of sending Mercy, Love, and Compassion. Do not dictate as
to what laws shall be changed or how something should be done, for then you are
placing your own limitations, which carry your lack of understanding. But by
placing the situation under “Mercy, Love and Compassion”, then it is resolved to
the benefit, the highest good of all concerned throughout the planet.) It is more
powerful to direct this directly, for instance to Washington and Congress. (In this nation,
yes.)
I have another question. As a result of your answer about Jean’s “crud”, you were
saying it took a millennium to acquire this, and we immediately thought, does it take a
millennium to clean it up also? I have read about the Law of Grace. Edgar Cayce talked
about the Law of Grace. I’ve begun to think that perhaps the Law of Grace is having
some understanding of the karma, of building our patterns. If we understand what we
have built up, can we change it and clean it up faster? Is this part of it? (I object to your
phrase, “The Law of Grace”, for there is no such law in our system of structure.
However, your concept is correct. It is only through self-knowledge and self-
understanding that you will clean up all of the environment, for you will recreate a
new environment.) And as we pursue this path, it doesn’t need to drag on for eons and
eons. (Of course not.)
Myra: When you turn on the light, the darkness goes away. Does that make the
difference? Does that get rid of the crud? (It makes the crud visible. Knowing that
some characteristics of personality, some attitude or habit pattern that causes you to
express in a certain manner, does not change that characteristic or attitude or habit
pattern. It only is an awareness that it exists. You may know that you bite your
finger nails, but you must train yourself to stop that habit. Self-understanding helps
you add the re-training.)

Sheariam: Now while I am enjoying myself greatly, the channel’s organism
begins to be uncomfortable, and we must draw this session to a close. (Expressions of
appreciation and a request to take a flash picture of Gloria.) (Yes, we can hold control.)

Sheariam: Now let us breathe deeply. Put aside whatever material things may
cause our concentration to be neglected. Visualize this entire room filled with a fluid
of no particular consistency, but just a fluidity, a fluidity that dissolves your
differences as though you were granules of sugar in water. Let yourselves flow
together, to become all of a single mind, a unity of beingness, of peace and love and
harmony.
Let your bodies flow together until there are not skins, no teeth, no hair, no
toe nails, no finger nails. You are just one whole unit of pulsing Life, a total freedom
of lovingness.
Now in this totality of oneness, you have great power. Make the sound. Affirm
“Mercy, Love and Compassion are infinitely reproduced. (Group repeats this
affirmation three times.) Now feel it. Feel it deep within your beingness. Feel the
empowerment. Feel the courage it gives you to speak those life goals, to seek that
social civilized future. It encourages the development of human potential, thus
raising the consciousness, raising the awareness, increasing the Volition of all life
forms.
With this empowerment, direct this positive, creative force to your congress
at this moment. It shall go to the individuals that make up that congress wherever
they are. It will seek them out.
Now together affirm “Blessed be”. (Group makes the affirmation three times.)
Now draw once more into your separateness. Allow your skin to separate you
from your neighbor, but know that in your mind and in your hearts, you are one. In
your Consciousness you are one. Be aware of all.
As you withdraw, becoming identified as personality again, be aware of all
that you are. Strive to become aware through the intervening time till we meet again
what a blessing you are in the lives of others, your loved ones, your social contacts,
the world at large. Become aware of how it would be diminished if you were not
part of it. Become aware of your importance as an individual. Strive to find and
touch some understanding of the mental power that is yours.
And so I bid you go in peace and joy. Blessed be. It is done.
