Session #106 – September 11, 1988
Gloria’s Circle

Present: Betty Welty, Jean Chisholm, Jeneeka, Jnana Sivananda, Joni Schultz Jon
Paul Bish, Marlayna Brady, Myra Perala, Owen Cramer, Peter Valiton and
Sidney Smither

Meeting opened with usual AUMs, invocations and guided meditation.

Sheariam: Good morning students. We are all candidates upon the Path of
Initiation. The chaff has fallen away. We feel the consolidation of your group. It
empowers us greatly, and we are gratified. So let us proceed upon our journey to
learn more of ourselves. Who among you can state the Four Basic Needs residing in
the Desire Body?

Sidney: Identity, Space, Union and Status.

Sheariam: Let us address those four. As human evolution has directed itself,
Identity and Space have become more than siblings, almost identical in your
awarenesses, whereas in truth, they are not. Give a moment now to what you believe
gives you Identity. (Our names.) Labels, merely. (My feelings.) Emotional Body.
(Personality.) Composite. (Thought processes.) Function. (Soul Intention.) Now we
approach.

Owen: Composite from the Soul, from the Ego, inheritance from past lives that
we have brought together in what we speak of as our karma. And I guess, plus the daily
events in our lives that modify our karma as we go.

Sheariam: What is it that lies deepest within you that you can touch with your
awareness, that remains the same regardless of what face you are wearing at any
given time? (The I Am.) (Is that the same as the Rod of Life?) The Rod is a
manifestation of the I Am. Are you always aware that nothing, no word, no thought,
follows I Am? Is it not true that you most often add another word after the verb? So
you limit your identity at that time, in that moment. That is a “need”. You are not
yet sufficiently evolved to be free in the I Am. You must have Dimension.
Identity is a basic “need”, not a “want”. You may want some kind of
Dimension which at some moment gives you an identification, but that is not your
Identity. You may professionally be in some trained activity, but you are not
performing that activity when you are in bed with your lover – different face. But is
the Identity not the same?
Now give thought for a moment to those faces of Identity which you claim are
you. (Mother, professional role, driver of a car, relation to your source group.) Nothing
from the gallery? (Seeker.) All the time? (No.) Good. All the time. What are you all
the time? (I Am. An aspect of the Divine. One with the All.) But is that the “need” in
your Desire Bodies which drives you?

Betty: At times when it gets covered up, or messed up, or polluted. (Precisely.
Now do you begin to duly perceive why we ask you to identify “need” versus
“want”?
Joni: In doing that we more clearly identify who we are. (Yes.)

Sheariam: Now let us speak of Space. What happens in your awareness when you
apply a label to yourself? (You limit yourself. It puts you in a box.) Identifiable space.
True? At any given moment of time, your awareness of your “space” is one thing,
which in the moment following may be something else. Now how do you determine
what is your Space, and what is another’s?
Peter: We define it ourselves. (Always?) No. Sometimes it’s forced upon us. (Or
consented to. Is that all wrong?)
Myra; No. It helps to have those boundaries. (Why?) Because you know for sure
where you really are, where you belong? (Do you, indeed?)
Betty: That’s just comfortable if you know where you are, and to me, that’s what
we come to find out. If indeed there is Oneness to our existence.
Jnana: And we are merely conveniences for communication.
Marlayna: But knowing where we are is the stepping off point to further our
consciousness.
Jenika: Everyone is working and living under the Law of Dominance, so they
would be defining their space according to the same laws as we are trying to define ours.
Peter: In other words, it’s a convenience for this time. But once we learn that we
are all one, you lose your need for parameters of restrictions. (Correct.)
Myra: But that takes that awareness that your boundaries are purely either self-
limited or imposed upon us. That they’re really a matter of consciousness. But you can
rise above the boundaries. (Ratio of Volition to Consciousness: Quantifying your
Quality. And among your comments, I heard a basic Purpose mentioned.)

Myra: I think it was what Peter said. (I think not.)
Owen: Establishment of your own environment. (What are the Purposes?) (Ans:
Survival, Security, Comfort, and Luxury.) (And did you not hear “comfort”?)
(Agreement) How much your Purposes determine the extent to which you allow your
“needs” to drive you.)
Joni: It’s difficult for us to go beyond what is comfortable, and we frequently
resist that. (Define “comfortable”. (Feeling safe. Freedom from fear. No surprises. Lack
of stress and pressure.) (Have you never made yourselves uncomfortable in the
pursuit of a “want”?) (Many yes’s.) So you do not then restrain the drive of the
“need” to the “comfort zone”.)
Jenika: So you are saying that it’s more important to pursue our “wants” than to
follow the Comfort, Security, Luxury, Survival?

Sheariam:If you are to move on to the Second Level of Purpose, you cannot
permit yourselves to remain in a state of being driven by “need”. If you are to move
into the Purposes which I gave last, you cannot remain at primitive levels of
Identity, of Space. Are you willing to relinquish space established through egoistic
behavior in order to spiritualize your arena of action? How willing are you to allow
someone else to take credit for your achievements without losing your Identity, or
permitting the boundaries of your Space to crumble? Can you evaluate yourselves
in those terms? Can you dominate your own Space, retain your sense of I Am, and
let someone else receive the accolades from a public for something which you have
accomplished?
Joni: If you tune into the bigger picture, it helps your perspective in allowing
things just to be. (Are you there? What makes you angry? What makes you have
hurt feelings? What causes you to be depressed, to lose your sense of self worth, to
feel unappreciated?)
Jnana: Misunderstanding of the Unity.
Owen: Perception of the things that you do that seem to stimulate a lot of
criticism. (And what happens to the I Am? (Whispered.))
Myra: The light flickers dim.
Jean: Lack of recognition of your worth. (How ready are you to give credit
where credit is due? How much do you feel diminished by the generosity of
unqualified appreciation? Can you love your neighbor? Do you have that identity
which stands firm any where, any time, any place, under any circumstances? You
cannot shed the desire Body until you have surmounted all of those “needs” that
drive you. And you act on Volition in Consciousness when you act in full awareness,
not on “need” response.)

Myra: It seems to me that if we can recognize those concepts in our daily actions,
then we’re not on the first rung. (Precisely. Awareness. You have been given exercises
to do, that will give you a measurement of your own progress, if you will use them.
How many of you have been to the well lately?)
Jenika: I don’t have a well any more, but I do the meditations.
Myra: Our awareness of the well has sort of faded away, but I guess we could
bring it back. But I’ve been working with my guides much better than I used to be able
to. (You may find your well has changed its appearance.) (Mine has.)
Jenika: You mean it’s not a well, it’s something else? Like a bull in a meadow?

Sheariam: We would have you take these words as a premise upon which to work
during the interim between now and the next time we meet, for at that next time we
shall discuss Union and Status. But we must proceed slowly, for your systems tend
to become overloaded, and it is of utmost importance that you have a firm
intellectual grasp of these premises, if you are to understand any discussion of the
evolved Third Level of the Wheel of Karma.

Myra: So in our Friday night study group it’s very valuable for us to bat around
these things with our left brain and try to really figure them out? (Yes, it is quite
beneficial, for the Perceiving Mind can only witness that which is created, and the
Creative Mind can only create out of that which is perceived, so you give your mind
thoughts, food for its nourishment.
Now is there anything we can help you with?)

Jon Paul: Sheariam, I have a question for you. Last time you spoke of a
material object that each of us has that has a key, and when held in the hand, when
melding the subtle bodies of the object with the subtle bodies of the organ, it
communicates a knowledge. I have two stones, and through my pendulum I was directed
first to one stone which is a Chinese meditation stone, and I got an affirmative. Then later
I was led to this other stone which is kind of an anthropomorphic feminine figure, and I
feel more in tune with that. But it’s not blue-green in nature. I’m kind of in a quandary.
I’ve been trying to work, and it has to do with my seventh chakra, that I am to use it in
that vicinity. I guess I want more clarification on the progress I’ve made this week.

Sheariam: You are drawn to the feminine figure because of the symbology which
it embodies, those symbologies being peculiar to the human condition at this time.
Gender is an attitude. You are struggling to understand feminine gender, not
feminine sexuality, but feminine gender. Go back to the lessons given on the Garden
of Eden where Adam becomes two, as the sides of a door. Each of you, all of you,
must come to understand the difference between sexuality and gender.
The biological action of giving birth, peculiar at this time in your condition to
the feminine sex, does not make for a gendered mother. Motherhood is not basically
embedded in the capacity to gestate a fetus. Some fathers in your culture are better
mothers than any mother. It is gender which you must focus on, for that will be
what is important in other realities. The sex that you now inhabit organically is
merely a vehicle for the expression of some of your emotional attitudes and habit
patterns. It has been grossly misrepresented, exploited and misused.

3Jon Paul: In the evolution of mankind, then, we are moving toward greater
androgyny of expressing both natures? (Moving back to that condition.) Is this what
I’m learning from my friend? That material aspect of that nature of nurturance? (Not only
one friend. There has been a number of such relationships, and those will continue
until you have achieved that goal which you have set for yourself). This is part of the
riddle that Kaithus (a member of Jon Paul’s source group) is helping me with? (Yes.)
So to use the stone. Over my head? Or would it be better to hold it in my hand
meditating? (Begin with the hand. Until you can deal with the strength, the power.
Otherwise you defeat your purpose. It would be as child attempting to lift a manly
sword.) So is it best for me to envision a shaft of energy, or any particular envisioning
while I’m doing this? (Before using the stone above the head, make it a pattern of
activity to work from the lowest chakra upward. Do not begin at the top.) So ground
sufficiently and go through each of the chakras and learn what I need to learn from each
of the chakras. (Indeed.)

Jenika: I have a question on the stone also. I looked all through my house trying to
find things. So finally I used a small crystal ball, and I had a very nice meditation with
Anna, who urged me to meditate. Later on that day, I noticed a small ballet dancer of
stained glass that I had put up near the window several years ago had fallen down in an
unusual position. So I thought that was a sign. So I picked it up and meditated on it, and I
got a very rough and tough meditation on the cowboy days and rounding up cattle and all.
I had gone off to the mountains to meditate during that scene, and an Indian man came to
me and basically made me promise to meditate, and sealed it with smoking a peace pipe.
The thing is, almost anything I touch, I can meditate and get something from. So how do
we know when we’ve found our piece, our riddle, to meditate on? What are some
guidelines or cues?

Sheariam: You will not readily find your way. You will have to strive for it.
There will be that riddle, that question to which you cannot seem to find an answer.)
In the object itself? (When you hold the object in your hands and focus your
awareness upon it, it will emanate a vibration of mystery, of intrigue. You will not
be able to dismiss it from your awareness.) So it isn’t so much in meditation that
comes forth, but a feeling of mystery. (A mystery which draws you into it, that you
cannot resist attempting to solve the riddle.)

Marlayna: We’re working on the Cosmic Connection, and last night we had a
meeting to decide what should be in this next issue. The theme of the issue is “Season of
Joy’. One of the articles or topics for an article is Orders of Angels. I remembered some
years back that I spent a lot of time with a book called the “Urantia Book”. I wondered if
that would be an appropriate source to refer to for the Order of Angels.) (No, it would
not. Please, if you are to represent us, confine yourselves to what we have given. If
you wish to represent other than us, you may do as you wish.)
Myra: Would you say that the information in the Urantia Book is not accurate?
(It is not.)

Jon Paul: Could you say anything about the Osapi ? Do you know of that?

Sheariam: One of the problems that you struggle with is that we cannot give you
the complete picture, for you do not have the capacity as yet to encompass it.
Everything has its kernel of truth. It is in the ramifications and interpretations that
the human mind lays its own understanding upon the reality. It is not the
inaccuracies that are important, but the reality of truth. Again, we must return to
the lesson of Identity and Space. You feel that to understand and comprehend, you
must place trappings upon the kernels. You must extrapolate, sometimes to the
ridiculous. You must place lace upon your cushions, if you will. You seem not to
deem it sufficient to have a kernel of truth. You must embroider. You must add to.
Now for your own individual understanding, that is appropriate. It is
important that you do that for yourselves. But you cannot pass on your
understanding to another because that is not appropriate to another. Only the
kernel must be passed on, with the encouragement for others to do their own
embroidery. You seek to take the embroidery of others and latch it on to our truth.
That will not do.
You must not deny another his option to place whatever interpretation he
may wish on anything for his own use. Remember what we said about
“expectation”. If you embroider that which we give you, you put expectation of
another to understand your embroidery. Give them the truth and let them work
upon it themselves.
Now we do encourage that you share your personal experiences. That has no
dilution of truth for that is your truth. In the sharing of your experience and the
sharing of the development of your understanding, you reflect light that another
may reach his own awareness and understanding. But when you embroider the
truth and publish that as truth, then you are taking dominance on another’s
opportunity for development. You are identifying where you have no right to
identify. You are making a space which you have no right to make.

Jon Paul: Are you saying that we should have more experiential articles in the
Cosmic Connection? (Indeed, yes.) To shed our own individual light that others achieve
understanding through that particular perspective. (It is as though you turn on a light,
and then that individual can witness the furnishing through his own perception.)

Joni: I’m working on my marriage relationship, and wondered if you could give
me information on proceeding. (We cannot map your life. If you wish to elucidate a
specific circumstance, we will attempt to shed some light.) I’m having issues with
intimacy, and that is the particular area. (Again, let us return to Identity and Space.
Intimacy is a sharing of personal space. Very often, in the state of current human
evolution, in the act of intimacy, it is only one of the partners who shares. The other
merely invades or takes possession. For you, individually, you must discuss how
equal is the sharing. How much sharing is there? How much are each of you willing
to share? When the sharing becomes equal, there will no longer be a problem. Do
you understand?)
I do. I think you hit some really key issues. Does that whole situation have
anything to do with why so many things have been breaking, especially water things like
plumbing? We’ve had incredible problems with toilet breaking, garbage disposal
breaking, new plumbing faulty and having to be repaired, car breaking down. What is this
all about? I’m sure I’m to learn something from it, and I don’t know what. (You have
built a system of expectancy. In order to get you to look at the inconsistency of your
expectancies, the vibrational activity in the magnetic field around you and your
home and wherever you function, is causing the appurtenances to reflect the
breaking down of this system of expectancy. Do you follow that?)
I’m a little bit confused. Apparently there’s something going on in my life, or
with the life of those in my family, which is creating inconsistencies. (No. It lies within
you, within the Mental Body of you individually, that portion of the Mental Sea to
which you have access. Those determinations which are, in fact, expectancies, have
come to formulate some rather rigid inflexibility, boundaries which need to be
broken. At that level of mental activity, there are portions of you at work that are
setting up the vibrational frequencies to shatter those walls. But in the doing, other
things must respond, and that effect pervades the physical organic structures of
your home and surrounds, as well as your Emotional and vital Bodies.)
So these things, so many things happening at once, mean that I’m making some
progress and that we’re really ready, I am ready to shatter… (You are not only ready,
you are doing so.) All right! Thank you, Sheariam.

Myra: That brings my head to the questions that I’ve been experiencing with my
marriage relationship, too. I have worked for the last several years to break down my own
inflexibilities in my relationship, and I’ve also been working on that in my body. I took a
terrible fall last Tuesday, and in my work with Dr. Scott Rogers yesterday, he was
pointing out to me that as I become more flexible in my body, I can keep myself from
having horrible accidents. I feel like I am becoming more flexible. Is there a connection
between those two? (Yes. However, your fall was an outward manifestation of an
inward, unconscious Emotional Body perception that you have fallen down on the
job that you have given yourself to do.)
Oh! Yes. I had a dream to that very same effect, too. Thank you. (Give yourself
more credit, and you will be able to maintain your stance.) OK. Thank you.

Owen: I’m wondering if we are proceeding now in the right direction with
counseling on family relationships. I’m also wondering if I’m blindly pursuing something
that I’m not grasping the true reality of, and if I don’t grasp it, I’ll eventually get a gentle
reminder like Jenika got. Could you enlighten me?

Sheariam: You have spent a major portion of the years of your life
accommodating the needs of others, not merely family, but friends and your social
world at large. You have reached that cycle of years, chronological human years,
when you are now called upon to assert a demandingness, if you will, that says,
“Now it is my turn”. You may choose to do that. You may choose to continue
accommodation.
As a choice, remember that we have previously advised, any choice
automatically shuts off or denies the possibilities to be realized from some other
choice. If you wish to take your turn, as it is now your right to do, now is the time
for you to set that “want” as a goal and so pursue it. If you choose to continue your
role as an accommodator, this is no sin, this is no wrong. You simply reach a
plateau, and there stay. And that is not wrong.
It is denial of a “want”, which you will be given another chance to pursue at
another time. But do remember, we do not advocate sacrificing one’s personal
thrust on the altar of another’s misperception. You are not obligated to fulfill
anyone’s expectations, only those you set for yourself. Does that answer? (Yes, that
helps a lot.)

Jean: It seems a great many things are happening in my life and in my family
right now. It seems that there is perhaps spiritual growth, or something like that, that’s
really very exciting and fulfilling, but there seems to be a physical problem, particularly
with Colin. I don’t know if it’s fear and lack of faith.7 I don’t know if I’m building up my
fear, or if it is a reality and something I have to adjust to. I think that I have more of a
sense of fear than I have ever had, and yet, at the same time there’s a sense of, perhaps,
spiritual growth, and I think there’s a confusion that I can’t quite break through.

Sheariam: You are in the process of house-cleaning your life. When you clean
your house, your domicile, one must make an untidy mess before reaching the
ultimate goal of cleanliness and order. In that process, one must relinquish
treasures, that have, perhaps, reside in dusty corners for many years. In the process
of cleaning one’s life, the same thing occurs. As you drag out from these dusty
corners of the mind and heart these stored treasures, no longer of use to you, it stirs
up the dust, causes chaos. It brings up memories, and there is a reluctance to let
them go. If you will regard this process of letting go as an ecological recycling
process, it may be easier.

Jean: Thank you on that. I think I understand that. Now I have developed a
phlebitis which I think I’m healing, and Colin has developed an additional physical
problem which doesn’t seem to respond very well. What can I do, particularly, to help his
physical problem respond? (You can do nothing to or for him. He must do it for
himself.)
How can he do that? (He has proceeded to provide himself with this. Do not
deny the experience to him.) I don’t understand.

Sheariam: Let us return to Expectation, Identity, too. You have certain desires,
wishes for certain status quo. Colin does not have those same desires. He is in
another cycle of his life. He has turned another corner. You must permit him the
freedom to live his life as his own unconscious dictates. You cannot live through his
Desire Body or through his Emotional Body. You cannot make anything happen. He
must make it happen. You are fearful because he is going his own way, and you can
do nothing about it. I cannot give you comfort because I cannot do for you any more
than you can do for him. You must face reality, as he is facing reality.

Jean: Can you tell me anything about the direction I should go? Maybe you’ve
said it, and I haven’t heard it. I heard part of it. What direction do I go? (You have
phlebitis because you are so determined that things must be as you perceive them to
be, as you perceive the right way for them to be. You must be more fluid, more
flowing, more accepting. You must allow recycling. You must permit circulation.
You cannot dam the flow of life.)

Owen: I’d like to ask a personal question about our son, Greg, who passed away
recently. Everything seemed to be going splendidly for him. I know that there are reasons
that this was appropriate, but I was wondering if there is any possibility that you could
explain why this was appropriate at this time. (Give us a moment... This I am
permitted to tell you. Your son had found that empowerment, through his human
condition under the Law of Dominance, which he now can use in another reality.
His sojourn in your life upon this planet was temporary aside for that entity. He is
now carrying forward what he held in abeyance while he sojourned with you.)
Does the carrying forward have anything to do with the church he was affiliated
with? (The church was merely a vehicle for him to discover his personal power.)

Betty: Sheariam, I would like to go back to Owen’s former question. I
understood you to give the answer that you do not advocate personal thrust to be
sacrificed. How do you know when you’re just dealing with your own ego space in
relationship to another, and approaching it from that angle, rather than really denying
your own thrust? (When the force from without reaches that point that it denies your
existence as an individual, then you deny your own thrust if you permit that
situation to continue.)
If you will, speak a little bit more about being an individual, then, please. (We
must go back to Identity. What is it that permits you to be an identifiable single
individual in spite of all appurtenances and individuals who occupy your life? Now
those with whom you share your life create a “Space”, a group. Within “group”,
which has Identity, reside the individual “spaces” of individual Identity. When one
of those individuals, loses individual Identity and becomes solely identified with the
“group”, you have sacrificed and denied the thrust of individual potency. You are
not Quantifying the Quality of humanism if you allow yourself to become only part
of a group Identity. If you select a label for a group, a family name, if you will, and
you become known only by that family name, you deny the thrust of the individual
contribution to that group. Does that help you any?) Yes, it does. It’s still going to
take some work.

Sheariam: Look at Function. What are the functions of one’s life? What do you
do to contribute to “group”? What do you do to contribute to family, to sustain the
group identity, to support the group goals? Then, what is it that you give yourself to
sustain and support your Identity in order for you to give that contribution to the
group? If you become solely a group-identified substance, there is no individuality.
Socially, in your culture, you had this happen. In the decades of the ‘50s and
the ‘60s, conformity became the norm, in the name of rebellion. Individuality was
lost in the conformity to a social thrust. How much more advantageous for the
Quantification of the human Quality it would be, or would have been, for those
individuals to express their individuality through their intellect, through their
emotions, through their skills and through their talents, than to become totally
conformist to an anti-social movement.
So it is among the family group. If a female gender becomes mother,
chauffeur, librarian, nutritionist, nurse, servant, housekeeper, what has happened
to the individuality? Is there any intellectual feeding? Is there any emotional
growth? Is there any self-discovery? Is there any Quantification of the human
Quality? Some. But there is also the denial of the individual thrust, to think
creatively, to modify desire drives, to change attitudes and habit patterns, to choose
the motivational mobilizers rather than acting upon those imposed and consented
to.) That helps a great deal. Thank you.

Sheariam: There is much tension building within the organism. We deem it
appropriate to draw this to a close at this time.

Owen: May I ask one question of you, Sheariam? We have biographical sketches
for our various teachers, and you have been our longest, most consistent, devoted teacher.
We would like very much if we could have a biographical sketch, possibly at some future
time that we might publish in our “Cosmic Connection”?

Sheariam: We shall take that into consideration. (Laughter.)
So let us have a short meditation. Put aside those consideration to which you
shall be moving shortly. Continue your focus here and work with blue-green
energies by rotating your palms together, then moving them slightly apart, to build
the ball of energy, as you have long since been taught to do.
Focus your vision into that ball of energy between your palms, as you
continue to rotate your palms and build that magnetic field. Build it strongly so that
you can feel it firm between your palms. Seek to visibly witness the blue-green
frequency of that energy.
Take a deep breath and blow gently upon it, gently, as though it were a
bubble. You are filling it with the essence of your Life breath.
Now let that ball of energy float gently from between your palms, to come to
rest around your feet. Feel the power in your feet. That is your power. That is your
essence more than your feet.
Feel that power move through your feet, up through your legs, warming,
invigorating. When it reaches your lower abdomen, allow it to emanate from that
lower chakra, that creative center of energy. As light lasers, these beams of
emanating force meet in the center of the room to create a greater call of energy.
This is part of you. You are melding that part of you with that part of all others in
this room. It is a part of your Vital Body. It has your Consciousness and your
Volition. It has your life essence and your Quality, and the force of your Quality.
Now as that ball emerges and spins with the vitality of your beingness, allow
the warmth to continue up through your torso until you can emanate a ray from
your heart chakra into that ball of energy, into that communion of yourselves. On
that ray from the heart chakra, pour mercy, love and compassion into that ball, the
common, community ball of focalized energy and force.
So there is a triangle with one point in the ball at the center, one point in
your abdomen, and one point in your heart. This is a triangle of community
harmony.
Now let the warmth move upward through the power chakra in the throat,
on up into the forehead to the third eye, and let another shaft of force beam from
that third eye to the ball. Through that shaft, pour your Faith in the future of
humanity. Pour your Hope for the changing awareness of humankind, and pour the
Generosity of your spirit.
Now with the power of your minds, with the power of your imaginations,
thrust that ball aloft, and let it pervade the atmosphere of your planet. Let it spread
out as you send parts of yourself to spread mercy, love and compassion, faith, hope
and generosity among all the peoples of your world, that you may build a future in
which individuality will not be sacrificed on the alter of misperception.
And so, you become a force for peace. Feel the joy within your being that you
are a part of such a construct. Feel the blessedness of the return received for positive
action.
Now bless the effort that you have made. Draw yourselves back to
integration, into self-awareness, into the joy of being yourself and in sharing
yourself with others. I give you the blessing of the temple and bid you go in great joy
and peace. And so it is done.
