Session #109 – October 23, 1988
Weekend Retreat at Salem, Oregon

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

Session opened with nine rolling AUM’s and three AUM’s in unison. All nine
Archangels were invoked for the rich and abundant life. Following are the invocations
used, each one preceded by Khamael and Gabriel:

Khamael: I Am the rich and abundant life.
Gabriel: I Will the rich and abundant life manifest through and for me.
Ratziel: Divine Ideation brings all things together for the rich and abundant life
manifest through and for me.
Tzadkiel: Divine Reproduction multiplies the rich and abundant life manifest
through and for me.
Sandalphon: Divine Harmony reveals to me what I need to know and supports the
changes necessary for the rich and abundant life manifest through and for
me.
Tzaphkiel: Divine Illusion brings balance to the rich and abundant life manifest
through and for me.
Michael: Divine Dominance appropriates the rich and abundant life manifest
through and for me.
Haniel: Divine Relinquishment releases the rich and abundant life manifest
through and for me.

Following a guided “Sun of the I Am” meditation, Sheariam announced herself
immediately.

Sheariam: And a bright good morning to all. What a pleasant place to be, on this
morning, we come together again to discuss matters of great import to you. We are
ready to move you along in your instruction. It is for you to be ready to come along.
Before we leave the topic of the basic drives of the Desire body, we would entertain
any questions you may have of your confusions thereof. (No one responds.)
It is clear to you, then, of Identity, Space, Union and Status? (No response.)
We have given you sufficient that you now understand. Is that true?
Betty: Partially. We’re still working on it.
Myra: We have learned a great deal about ourselves in rehashing the transcripts,
and it certainly has opened my eyes to understand the problems I’ve dealt with, but I’m
not terribly sure I fully understand it.
Peter: At least we’re on the right track, and we’re getting there. (We do not
intend to cut off your source of information and clarification. We seek that
affirmation within yourselves that you are, indeed, ready to move onward to new
information. We choose this communication to tidy up, if you will, to tie off loose
ends which we may have left. (Long pause.)
Peter: I can’t think of any loose ends, from my perspective, not that I claim to
understand everything, but it’s coming.
Betty: In my mind, there was some question about expectations we have for a life
prior to birth, assuming that at some level we have done this. Maybe a contract before we
were born, but is it possible to come in with expectations already built for us? Have we
bought that before we are born in this life?

Sheariam: Oh, indeed, yes. It is for you to recognize and thus make changes. You
can teach others to expect different things from you. You do not have to fulfill the
old patterns. Indeed, as creative consciousnesses, using Creative Mind, you take the
perceptions and you re-create a pattern that is more amenable to that which you
desire to accomplish by this incarnation. It is for you to decide what contribution
you wish to make. What is the impress that you desire to leave on the matrix of
consciousness when you have departed this incarnation? One of conformity, or one
of creativity? One of contribution or one of merely taking? You decide. You choose.
That is your responsibility, not your source’s, but yours. You have made choices in
the past which have pre-determined certain conditions, that is true. But you are
creative. You have the utilization of mind. You have brains. You have nerve
systems. You have many other support systems which you have not yet recognized,
but you use. Constantly you use them.
Now, with awareness, you re-create, you re-establish, you design a new
pattern that is more conducive to future accomplishment. If you remain in the trap
of the Desire body drives, you shut off your creativity. It is not that you do not
remain creative, you simply do not express that creativity. You do not produce
something. Being able to paint a picture does not produce the picture. If you want
your lifetime to have meaning, a meaning which you design, then you must produce
it. You must use your creativity. In the doing, you change those programs of
response mechanism in the Emotional Body and modify the drives of the Desire
Body.
Through repeated incarnations of creativity activity you ultimately can
modify those drives to the extent that the Desire Body is no longer necessary to you,
and you no longer, then, must incarnate on this kind of planet. Does that answer
your question?
Betty: That’s wonderful. We were talking yesterday about family relationships
and changing the “contract” we have made of fitting into this role. Can you give us a little
bit more help on how to change the contracts? We were talking about the role of being a
wife, a spouse and claiming space to go to these retreats, and things like that. Could you
help us a little bit more on that, please?

Sheariam: A contract may have its terms declared without being clearly defined
or enunciated. A contract may be based upon an unclear ideal, which is very often
the case in your cultural marriages. There is that fairy-tale quality to your idealism
that says “happily ever after”, and immediately after, you discover there is no
“happy”. (Chuckles.) As creative beings, you make the “happy”. You clarify the
terms of contract. Any contract is open to re-negotiation, but very often it takes a
creative approach to open the negotiations.
We heartily recommend that before you open negotiations, you have clarified
within yourself the terms of the contract you wish to negotiate. Do not enter
negotiations hoping that the other partner to the contract is going to provide for you
what you desire when that person does not know what you desire, but comes into
the negotiation seeking to satisfy his or her own ends.
It’s a “cards face up on the table” demand. You cannot negotiate one-sidedly.
There is no such thing. This is what you attempt to do when you do not call forth
acknowledgement of the terms of the contract. You say, “Marriage is this, or
marriage is that, therefore, I cannot change it.” That is not true.
Every marriage is as unique as the individuals who have contracted it, and it
is constantly re-negotiated, moment by moment, and is rightfully so. This is true in
all relationships: mother-child, sister-brother, business partners. Any contractual
agreement, any relationship, depends upon contractual agreement. Yet, you leap
into relationships with little thought as to what the terms are. Then upon
disappointment, you withdraw and decide that you are not going to risk such again.
You are not going to be rejected again. You are not going to be hurt again. That
does not produce. That does not permit the expression of creativity.
Under the Law of Dominance, you must seek Union. You must be creative in
establishing those unions, and you must clarify the terms of the Union contract, and
then live by them until they are re-negotiated.

Betty: The key, then, perhaps, is to decide what we want, what our ideal is, first,
then put that as the “card face up”. (Indeed so.)
Myra: Which requires a clear picture of our Identity. You can’t do it until you
have that Identity. (You can move in the direction of finding your Identity by
expressing to the candidate for contractual agreement what your hopes and
expectations are. This is called “courtship”.
Joni: Here, again, Sheariam, you are telling us that we have created our own
environment, and that we can change it. (Correct.)

Betty: You said Union is necessary. Is Union one of our processes of finding our
Identity? (What have we been discussing? ) In other words, we can’t say this is our
Identity and then go into it. It’s part of the bigger thing. (It’s part of the whole: Identity,
Space, Union and Status. You cannot have one without the other.)
Joni: And there are many forms of Union. The marriage contract is one form.
(Only one. We have a contract with you! We knew the terms. Many of you began
with us did not consider the terms, and thus our contact had to be re-negotiated. A
new commitment had to be made. We did not change. We did not change in our
expectations of you or of ourselves. How have you changed? Have you not re-
identified yourselves? Have you not found new Space? Have you not made new
Unions? Have you not found new Status?) Yes. (Process. Initiation Path. How can
we continue to assist you in your Process?)

Betty: Jenika is not here, but in reading the transcript, we had some questions
that came from the last transcript and from her life reading. It said that she has come to
integrate personalities. I can’t quote it exactly. (We understand.) And that led to
questions about her life reading, that she was essentially a new composite personality, or
something. Could you clarify that so that we have a little bit more understanding of what
happens?

Sheariam: In the hierarchy of realm, you seem to grasp Spirit, Soul, Ego. In the
Realm of Self you seem confused. Within each realm, there are also hierarchies of….
“Process”. Let us put it that way. Each, using Silverthistle’s terminology, which is
quite apt, manifestation is a particularate of God, of The Absolute which manifests
Itself into Divinity. Each such manifestation is created in such a way that it can
manifest itself in many forms. In the Realm of Self, there is that unique field of
action which has an Identity unto itself, which we call “Entity”.
The Entity has been manifest by Soul to accomplish a particular objective in
the evolutionary process. To that end, the Entity reproduces itself in many
personalities, in various and sundry places and times, some of those manifestations
being simultaneous, in your understanding of time, and some consecutive, or
sequential.
There comes a time when that Entity has accomplished all that was intended
by the Soul, whereupon the Soul takes that experience as ingredients to produce
other Entities to round out its experience. In this process, a newly formed Entity
may be comprised of portions of personalities which, at some point, had been
manifest by various other Entities produced by the same Soul, so that the newly
formulated Entity is a composite of experience which has not initiated, or created,
or manifest, in and of the Entity newly-born.
The newly-born Entity must accommodate and cope with the memories in
the Mental Body that are apportioned to it, in its effort to fulfill the Soul command.
In fulfilling this Soul command, the Entity, then again produces multiple
personalities, some of which have these conflicting memories, diverse parts of
experience, which are intended to be melded together for new manifestation.
Thus your sister, Jenika, is a newly recycled being of an old Soul that has
many, many times produced many, many Entities, and is now producing this new
life stream to incorporate these diverse experiences. So, in this personality, Identity
is confused by all of the ingredients, the diverse ingredients, of memory, and what
you call Instinctual Drives that have manifest in various ways and are now required
to manifest in sympathy with each other. Have I thoroughly confused you?

Betty: Then essentially, under these circumstances, you don’t start with a clean
slate. You start with many things put together. (In the Realm of Self, this is true.)
Peter: Which also implies opportunity for cooperation. (Absolutely!)
Betty: And this is done on the personality. Is it reflected on the exterior, working
with other friends, etc.? (Always. Your environment is created by you and reflects
you to yourself.) Would there be individual past-life memories for her that she could pull
out? (There are, indeed, and as she pulls them out, they are diverse and conflicting
and confusing. It is for her to find the common thread that unites them into
cohesiveness for effective Appropriation under the Law of Dominance.)
Myra: So Jenika has that heritage. There surely must be many others with that
same problem. (Indeed, yes, but not among this circle.)
Joni: Is her search a private, individual thing or can we help her? You are to
help her. That is why she came into the circle.) You suggested helping her by touching
and cuddling and loving. (Indeed so, as any new-born infant needs such nurturing.
She is, in your terms a new-born infant.) Are there other things we can do in addition
to help her? (All of the support systems that parents would give a beloved child,
which also includes disciplinary measures. The placing of self-responsibility, the
taught expectation of one doing for oneself.)
Peter: What a joyful opportunity we have!
Betty: That helps clarify a lot of things, thank you.
Myra: She will be very pleased with that.

Owen: Sheariam, in this case, does she have a stronger or more specifically
focused source group to advise her? (No, rather the contrary. All the bits and pieces
that have gone into the make-up of this new Entity have the unformed sources from
the unseen, to you, that ultimately will evolve to a cohesive, united source group. But
even as an Entity is in its new-ness, the source group may also be as new. They must
all learn to work together.)
If I understand from what you’ve given us on source group, these are members of
the Soul, but they are of different Entities? (Correct.)

Betty: A personal question: in my life reading it said… I can’t remember the
exact words, but I wondered if it parallels this. Is this personality or Entity aware of itself
as being incomplete? Could you give me any information as to what is meant by that?
(As an infant wears a body of infancy, that body is incomplete in its maturity. All
the parts that will be there at maturity are there, but not completely cooperative.
Under the Law of Dominance, it takes maturation for completion. An Entity
manifesting under the Law of Dominance also requires the maturation process to
reach its completion, which may take many lifetimes and many, many lifetimes of
many personalities to accomplish.)

Myra: That would apply to all of us, then? (That does, yes.)
Betty: In other words, there’s an awareness that “I ain’t got it all together yet.” Is
that what it’s saying? (Is that a surprise to you?) (Laughter.) No, I’m very aware of
that. Any help you can give me about getting it together will be most appreciated. (One
of the primary processes for you is time. You desire things the day before yesterday
and we keep repeating to you, “No instant mashed potatoes!” You must give the
leniency of maturing time. That is not a delaying tactic. That is not an avoidance of
responsibility, but indeed takes much greater self-discipline to allow maturation at
the pace necessary. It’s as though the fruits of life are like the fruits of the vine, or
the tree, or the bush. Each has its own maturation cycle, its blossom time, its
fruiting time and its harvest time. You must tune into these cycles of maturation.
You must begin to recognize when to pace yourself and when it’s permissible to
push yourself, and when it’s permissible to prod another, and when you must let the
other flow at his or her own pace.)
It’s very difficult. In my life I have the feelings that if I don’t keep a hold of the
reigns, the team is going to run away. (Yes. But the team has a rhythm of its own
which you must find. When you find that rhythm, you will find that rhythm within
yourself that is in syncopation with the rhythm of the team, and life will flow more
easily for you.)
My life reading also said that upsets would come out of nowhere. I think, “OK,
I’m beginning to get in the rhythm.” (And then something spooks the horses.) Right.
(That is the Law of Dominance in action.)
Working with my body: my body’s doing great for what I’m doing to it, but I
need some more help. In talking with Joni, she suggested that perhaps I could ask you if
there is someone or something in particular that I could go to for help. If you could give
me any suggestions on that. (I have just given you the best advice that we can. You
need to learn the rhythms of the body, and pace the body’s extension of itself, the
disbursement of the energy, the application of the strength. Now, you are going to
counteract my statement with saying, “But, the demand is that I put in “x” number
of hours here and “x” quantity of energy there.” But finding that pattern of rhythm
is essential to your well-being and may require that you retire the body for 60
seconds of your time only, several times a day, to a place that you are totally alone,
simply to regroup, to allow the energy systems to settle back into their own
channels, instead of saying, “I can’t take that minute now.”)
That’s most helpful, because I’ve been trying to look at my life and prioritize
what to cut out. (You do not need to cut out anything. You need to re-arrange the
way you handle it. A breather before a difficult task that requires physical strength
will make that task accomplishment more efficient, and thus allow you more time
for something else.)

Jon Paul: I have a question about self-processing I’m going through. You told us
that until the winter solstice we’d be undergoing internal changes. Initially I had planned
on leaving on a trip on December 1st, but I’ve decided to wait until January 4th because I
wanted to be here to be part of this, and I’m torn between this initiation process and going
on my individual trip, which is part of this processing that I’m going through. I’m
learning to surrender in my heart and bring the energy up to the heart level. That’s one of
the things that I’m learning in meditating. And Kaithus had said that we’ve got work to
do together, and I feel the journey to Central America and Mexico has to do with this.
Silverthistle also mentioned that I would meet, possibly, an alternate personality
or the Entity that I’m a part of. I guess my question is: When I’m told to do something, to
go the way that my heart leads me, yet I want to be a part of this. I want to be here, too,
and I can’t do both things. I guess I want some sort of direction. (You first of all have
misinterpreted what we gave. We said to all of you that along with the academic
information which we would be delivering to you, we would be giving you personal
instruction, personal activity, that would require certain fulfillments on your part,
which by the winter solstice would determine for you whether or not you wish to
complete the initiatory path. Which means that you could remain in the circle to
receive the academic information and not participate in the exercises themselves.)
That helps me a lot then. Going back to my question, on my individual trip that
I’m setting out to do, could you give me any clarification or advice? (Your decision to
delay your departure until the winter time is advisedly good, not because you need
to be here, but because you do not need to be there. Your need to be there will be
better served if you allow some time to pass for things to become arranged. You see,

When you do not follow the rhythm, and you put yourselves out of syncopation,
then the serendipitous does not occur, because we cannot help you. We must help
you only in ways consistent with your own decisions. That is why we only reluctantly
give you advice. We cannot make your choices for you.)
So in meditating and listening within, and following the advice that one gets
within from one’s source, that’s where this came from for me and through a dream. I’m
finding time now that I’m disengaging and I’m relinquishing, and in some ways, it feels
very natural to me, but other ways it’s almost like dying. (It is indeed.)
And shedding the skin. I’m not sure just what’s ahead. But I’m open to the
process. (Blessings.) Thank you, Sheariam. (Do not doubt that we are with you.)

Betty: From what I heard you say, I would interpret it that if Jon Paul gave even
more time after January 4th, there might be more time to get things together in Mexico
and South America for... (Not necessarily.)
Jon Paul: I’ve been meditating on the stone, and then I purified it, and I haven’t
been. Do you have anything for us on the riddle from some physical object? (Not
everyone has found his object. What I suggest to you, and only you at this moment,
is that you hold the stone erect in your fingers between you and a candle flame, as
though to see the candle flame through the object. Then report back.)

Owen: I’ve been having increasing discomfort in the early mornings in my hips. I
assume it is some calcium redistribution in the body, and I was wondering if you could
give me any suggestions on what I need do to overcome this, and some clue as to what is
behind this manifestation? (It is less a loss of calcium and deposits that result
therefrom than it is a dehydration of the ligatures so that there is stiffness and lack
of lubrication in the mucous membrane of the socket joints causing inflammation
and pain. Celery, cooked and the fluids withdrawn, and the liquids drunk,
approximately 12 oz. a day will help the mucous membranes reconstitute their
lubrication. The metaphysical background to the complaint is the body giving you
the message that it needs attention, that it is breaking down under the stresses and
the toxins that are created by the stresses which you are now attempting to deal
with.)
With respect to the stresses, are we proceeding in the right direction? (You are
certainly doing better. Let us hope that it can be continued.)

Myra: I wondered if you could comment on the work that Nestor and I are doing
in our counseling sessions. (You are renewing yourselves individually and creating a
new union which is in the way of the maturation process of which we spoke earlier.)
It feels very good. (It is a very positive activity, endeavor.) And the counseling
session we have scheduled tomorrow you feel is profitable? (Yes.) It’s very exciting. I
felt a little bit uncomfortable or nervous about it. I know it’s going to prove…
(Meditate. Gather your courage and your confidence. Enter the counseling session
with all optimum hope, with a high attitude and the expectancy of success.)

Owen: Is the appointment that Maxine has with the neurologist and so on at the
medical school a productive way for her to go? (She will not accept the findings. It may
be helpful to you.)
Is there a different direction that we can proceed that will be acceptable to her that
will help her? (She has become deeply entrenched in the determination to impair the
body. At this point in the maturation of the plan it would be quite difficult to reverse
what she has already accomplished.)

Joni: I was away for two weeks taking care of my son who is sick, and during
that time nothing seemed to break, but when I came home, we’re right back in breaking
things. I appreciate any guidance you can give me on speeding up the breaking down of
my rigid inflexibilities. Anything that you can tell me. I feel as though I’m affecting in
some negative way the lives of my family who end up having to repair all of these
breakages. (Do not feel that way. This is part of a negotiated contract. If they do not
like it, let them re-negotiate the contract.) (Various comments and laughter.)
Now I’m a little bit concerned. Am I proceeding on my path appropriately in
making these changes? (Yes. What is confusing is that as you change attitudes, as you
change the relationship between Volition and Consciousness, you also change the
electrical polarities of your subtle bodies, and your mechanical appliances and other
appurtenances of your life have been used to what you used to be like. It’s as though
an animal is used to being stroked, and all of a sudden you strike it.)
I see. That’s a wonderful analogy. Can I stop striking though and start stroking
again? (In that you are in the process of breaking down walls, there must be chaos
and demolition before there can be rebuilding.)
Did I have any input into my son’s illness? (In that he is psychologically tied
into the family unit and is part of the contract, but the actual manifestation of illness
was a result of a complexity of things.) Is there any guidance I can give to him or
suggestions to him? (Your best advice would not suffice. Your best activity is to let
him solve his own problems.) I felt that was the best thing to do.

Betty: In other words, if Joni could look at each of these catastrophes as a
signpost saying “Hey, I’m at this stage. I’ve reached another level.” (Yes. Regard what
appears to be demolition and chaos as progress.)
Joni: Thank you. The more that breaks the better. Gives me another opportunity
to share. (Laughter.) Would you replace something that did not break down?
Probably not. (Attitude? Procedure? Consciousness? Awareness? No. You would
stay the same and in the same pattern. You do not reweave a rug without taking out
the previous threads. You may patch and patch and patch, but you never create a
new rug.) I am creating a new one. (Yes.) I like that. Break away! (laughter.)

Betty: Sheariam, you spoke of toxins with Owen, and his stress making toxins,
which answered a lot of questions. (Yes. You too have the same problems.) Now in
talking of the pollution, of the water level, and not being able to use the water from the
atmosphere because of pollution, I had assumed that it was people pollution, what we’re
doing to pollute the earth. The thought came also that you said that the aquifer is
protected from below. Where is the pollution going to come from? Everywhere? (It is
now permeating everything, yes.) It is coming from the center of the earth as well as
what we’re doing? (Yes.) On the surface as well as the stress that we’re putting into it?
(Yes.)
I thought in particular about the animals. Again, it seemed overwhelming to try to
provide for them. (They will handle their own problems, thank you.) Oooh! Thank
you. You took a big load off. (Domesticated animals must depend upon those who
domesticated them, however.) Yeah. We’ve got a whole herd of those.
Jon Paul: Yet more than half the arbor seals have died already, and they
expect that maybe the rest of them will die. We have shell fish... (And you have humans
dying by the millions.) So, it’s all the same process? (Yes.)

Betty: The thought came to me about the whales beaching themselves. (Whales
are more intelligent than the humans who feel sorry for them.) Is that because of
pollution, or because they have completed a cycle? (There is no singular answer.) Bless
them and release them.

Jon Paul: I have a question about the dolphins. They are very close to us in
intelligence, and over 2,000 of them died in a disease that’s similar to AIDS. Is there a
connection there? (Absolutely so. Part of the cleansing plan of the planet.)
Betty: But it seems like they’re the last ones to go, because it seems like they
have it so much more all together than humans and all this. (You cannot understand the
dolphin world.) It’s not perfect then? (No more perfect than yours.)
Myra: Would it be helpful to use the machines that purify water, the kind that
you connect to your faucets, to purify what comes out of the tap? (Insofar as you
continue to inhabit these bodies that you now wear, anything that you can do to
purify what you put into it, you are benefiting the serviceability of that body.)
What about alcohol, drinking wine? Is it a good idea to avoid, or is it OK to drink
it? (It introduces toxin.)
Betty: Is any quantity acceptable, or all quantities introducing the toxin? Depends
on the body?
Jon Paul: Is that because of the sulfite, or is it because of the alcohol? (It is the
alcohol’s chemical response to the body chemistry.) So as we move into new bodies,
we should try to be pure in what we eat and drink? (That is the subjective evaluation as
to what is pure.)

Myra: But as we go to the store and purchase food, if we watch that what we
purchase does not have additives, that would be one way to protect ourselves? (To the
best that you can.)
How about milk and dairy products? Does what you told us for Jenika at the last
circle apply to all of us, too? (No. Some bodies do not tolerate the bacteria that
remains in the milk, and other bodies can.) After I stopped using milk products in
about May because my doctor said it was causing my arthritic pain, my arthritic pain is
gone. So I wondered if that was indeed the cause of my problem. (It contributed to it,
yes.)
Owen: I had wondered about milk for myself. (It would be better that you
drink celery.) (Laughter.)
Myra: Would soy milk be a suitable substitute for it? (Not for everyone.)

Owen: We had some questions related to our preparation for earth changes. You
mentioned that it would be desirable to have a water supply for ten days. This raised the
question: would leaving homes be permanent, or would this be a temporary situation?
(There is no singular answer. There will be some who will leave and some who will
not.)
Betty: Let’s pursue that: some leaving and some not. Is it a personal choice, or
will some homes not be livable again, or the area will not be livable? (There will be
many contributing factors. We could not isolate a single answer.)

Owen: You mentioned that 1200 feet elevation was not as high as would be most
desirable. (At some endangered areas 1200 feet elevation would not protect.) That’s
in this general locality? (That is close to the shore line.) In searching for higher
elevation, would it be more appropriate to look toward the Cascades? (The more
easterly, the more permanent the move.) As we approach the Cascades, is there more
danger of becoming involved with volcanic activity? (You do not have any place on
your planet that is entirely without its risk.) So east would be better.
Jon Paul: What would be a suitable elevation? (What are you attempting to
escape, tidal wave or volcano?) (Laughter.)
Betty: We’re not sure. This is what we want to know.
Jon Paul: Suppose a tidal wave. (It is entirely possible at the current level of
consciousness and expectation that there could be a rise of sea level at least on a
temporary basis, as high as 2,500 feet elevation in some areas.)
Owen: This would be primarily coast range and less than that in the Cascades.
(Yes.) Can your cattle swim?
Betty: Probably better than we can. (Laughter.)

Myra: You said temporary, so that would sort of be like... (Some areas will be
completely inundated on what would be permanent to you, and other areas only
temporarily. You see, you ask us to give you an answer for a world-wide problem.)
Owen: This would imply earthquakes certainly somewhere. Would this be in this
locality so that we would be subject to severe earthquakes, also? (You will not be
directly affected in cataclysmic earthquakes in this area, but peripherally so. You
are subject to the immigration of displaced people.)

Jon Paul: Is this why I’ve had a real drive to study Spanish? (Indeed.) There’ll be
more and more people coming from Central and South America and Mexico up through
this way as they’re displaced? (Well, as that wave of humanity moves into the
southern portion of your country, the population of that area will surge northward,
and it will move in waves.)
Betty: It seems like it’s already happening. (It is.)

Sheariam: And now the body becomes cold. We must return the consciousness.
We will ask you to close. Why don’t you close with your song of joy as we depart.
We give you blessings.
