Session #110 – November 13, 1988
Gloria’s Circle

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

Session opened with the usual rolling AUMs, invocations, and meditation guided by
Sidney.

Sheariam: Good morning students. Welcome, all of you. The blessings of health
to all of you. (Thank you. Welcome to you.) We are now ready to move on to the
study of Purpose. We have spent considerable time considering the Instinctual
drives, and we trust your consideration of these matters has brought you to some
understanding of what lies within you, for it will be upon that understanding that
your next step of initiation shall take place.
We have given four Purposes which you, under the Law of Dominance,
function within. Can you name them?
Myra: Survival, Security, Comfort and Luxury?

Sheariam: Yes. Those are the matters next under consideration. To you Survival
ordinarily means the sustaining of your physical body. That means food and shelter,
but Survival means making those changes in the organization of your thoughts
which enable you to live in such vitality that you fulfill your potential. That means
changing attitudes especially. As you come to understand Survival, you will realize
that it is not dependent on food upon your table, or even warm clothing upon your
physical, or the proximity of your like kind, or the support systems of your planet.
Survival depends upon Mind, that portion of Mind which is your particular
allocation. Upon incarnating, the incoming Entity has a certain allocation of mind
upon which it may call. That allocation so far exceeds what you commonly believe to
be mind, that you do not even tap the minutest part of it. You limit access to this
Mind allocation by the development of the brain. As adults, you have already
created those limitations of brain power within which you must work. But as
infants, you could have expanded that capacity. So as adults, it is your responsibility
to encourage the incorporation of the attitude in youth that brain can be expanded
to utilize more of Mind.
There are, even now coming into incarnation, those entities which in other
lifetimes have done this. They have learned how to manifest, to grow the brain cells
necessary to utilize a greater portion of the Mind allocation. Some of these are
choosing to wear mutant bodies which appear to you to be defective. Some are
concentrating so intently on the brain portion expanded, that other brain portions
are being neglected. So, the thought processes are not competent in all areas of their
living, but they are genius in one area. This is imbalance. In your knowledge, you
must encourage the development of these other portions of the brain so that all of
the Mind allocation is utilized.
Communication begins with first Union. When an Entity selects its parents
for incarnation, communication is already in effect. Names are very often given to
the parents by the Entity so that the Entity in incarnation wears that name of
vibrational intensification to promote its development of its potential. Names are not
accidental. They are chosen. They are chosen most usually and knowingly by the
parents. It would behoove all of you to go back to the examination of the Sounds of
your name, in which you participated some time ago. Because of the next step in
your initiation, you will need to rely upon this knowledge. It is important to you.
Survival depends upon the ever-increasing capacity to utilize Mind. You get
caught in common thought of the day, in the belief that certain individuals have
magical powers of knowing. You call them “psychics”. These are merely people
who, over the span of life experience, have developed the brain power to use Mind.
They are no more capable of knowing past, present and future than you are
yourselves. Even though you have reached adulthood, and you have already set your
limitations, you have not even explored the reaches of Mind to which your brain
capacity enables you to go.

Owen: Would there be other methods you could mention of gaining access to our
allocation of Mind, rather than meditation? I presume that would be one. (Imagination.
You have the capacity to make images in the Mind. This is Creative Mind at work.
Perceiving Mind at work takes in what is witnessed, what is experienced. Creative
Mind puts those things together to create new compound images. The more you
exercise this capacity, the more of your brain power you will be using. In your
culture, you have denied imagination because those forces which wish to control
have taught you to do so. To encourage a child’s imagination is to encourage the
growth of brain power.)

Joni: Sheariam, for children, would guided imagery meditation be one good
way of dealing with that? (So long as the guided imagery is not limiting in itself. That
is such an easy way to put your opinions upon someone else, your perceptions, your
pictures.)

Owen: Children’s literature, such as the “Oz” books, in which the author
obviously has used a lot of imagination. Is this the type of thing that could be helpful?
(Certainly.)
Sidney: Alice in Wonderland? (Yes.)
Myra: Generally, science fiction kind of literature, really literature of all sorts.
But I would think, too, that our using the ideas of, like using the Tarot pictures, to help us
understand our own selves better? I’ve been practicing that lately and discovered that I
am amazed at how much more insight I get. (That is why the Tarot has survived
centuries of repression.)

Joni: For people who, as adults, have genius in one area and lack in other areas,
were you saying we should encourage them to develop in these other areas? (Indeed,
yes.) And the children as well? (Oh, yes.)
Jon Paul: One of the things that we need to get from you that Gloria had mentioned
was a biography for the “Cosmic Connection”. (Curiosity.) (Laughter.) (That is all
right. You are reaching.)
I have a question for you about my self-processing. It seems that those areas of
my life, those attitudes that need to change and drop off, have become more glaring in
working with close friends, and have become more pronounced in the last week or so.
There seems to be an energy shift going on. In my meditations, I received that the next
two weeks will be a difficult cycle. There will be more energy coming in, and quite
difficult for us to ground. The journey is speeding up. We need to have a sense of humor
to see us through this period. Am I right that something is happening or will happen to us
as a nation that will jolt us into dealing with our processing collectively, on a deeper
level? (Yes. The Purpose of Security, which we have not yet discussed, which is the
topic of our next meeting, which will be on a timely basis. For you, individually,
have changed your attitudes insofar as Survival, and you are now on the verge of
burning your security blanket.)

Sidney: To get back to Jon’s question, at the very end of the question, he said,
“Will this occur within two weeks?” I didn’t get a firm answer on that. (I said that we
would discuss Security at our next meeting, which is in your two weeks, is it not? )
OK. Thank you.

Joni: I recently attended a meditation seminar and became quite ill, and at
Silverthistle’s retreat, the same thing happened. At other times, when I’ve been doing this
type of work, I seem to become ill with a very severe headache. Am I picking up
correctly that there’s a connection? What can you tell me? What can I do? Am I blocking
something? What’s happening? (Rather the reverse. You are taking on the toxins. You
have not learned how to pass them through.) Please give me some guidance on doing
that.

Sheariam: Earlier I spoke to the modern thought that certain individuals, having
expanded brain power, commonly called “psychics”, are in some way revered, and
should not be. These people have not only expanded the brain power, but they have
also learned how not to adopt that which they find, because activities such as those
of which you speak, involve people, often in great need of various kinds, are filled
with toxins of their own thinking.
They emit these toxins like poisonous gases, although they are not that
material. As you attempt to expand your brain power and open yourselves to the
experience that may be available under certain circumstances, you become like a
sponge, and the mucous membranes of your carbon body make toxins out of the
thought toxins. You must learn how to not allow this to happen, but if it does, then
how to create those images of thought which cleanse those tissues and relieve the
pain.

Joni: Can you be any more specific as to a way to do this? (Your character is
of such a nature that you feel the necessity to mother, take care of, control, make
decisions, supervise. After all, you do that don’t you?) Oh, yes. (Laughter.) (Allow the
one who suffers to enjoy his suffering. You need not suffer for him or her, no matter
what you know is best. And take no affront that the sufferer prefers to suffer rather
than allowing you to solve his or her problems.)
Thank you. When these severe headaches occur, when I’m feeling so ill, what is
the best way for me to clear that? (Relax. If you can develop for yourself a process of
suggestibility that will enable the relaxation of all muscles, particularly the scalp
and facial muscles, that will help. Warmth around the head and around the face,
increase the humidity of the air that you breathe. Use your blue-green colors and
think thoughts of joy and happiness and laughter and song.)

Owen: Would some of Silverthistle’s techniques for healing be helpful? (Quite
so.)
Joni: Thank you.

Jean: A lot of things seem to be happening in my life now that seem to be on
human contact and making new contacts. It’s surprising, the new people coming into my
life. Can you make some comment about what is going on and the meaning of it? (You
are giving yourself the opportunity to pass on the “magic” that you have acquired.
You are gaining a certain status, a certain reputation, not merely in this earthly
plane, not merely in the earthly inhabitants, the social structure, but on those
ethereal planes on which Thought travels. Thus, certain individuals are called,
though they know not that they are called. But they arrange to make contact with
you. You have no responsibility except to be, be yourself and to allow that “magic”
to flow, not to your detriment. That is not giving of strength. Be. Exemplary living
gives strength. You do not need to make yourself a support system or the “Grand
Advisor”. Be yourself. Give service when asked. Most of all, enjoy your life.)
Thank you. That helps me a great deal. The tuning fork that I keep getting is from
you, or is saying that I’m on the right track. (Indeed.) Thank you. That’s wonderful,
because it felt to me as if I wasn’t doing enough. (You need do nothing but be
yourself.) (Ed. note: Tuning fork was an inner vibration Jean felt when something “rang
true”.)

Jenika: I have a few questions for you. I stopped all milk products as you
suggested, and I wanted to know, is that for the rest of my life? (Would that bother
you?) Well, I’d miss cheese. (Laughter.) But I could do it. I just wanted to know from
you. I could do it. It’s hard, though. (We didn’t promise you a rose garden!)
(Laughter.)
Could I take the soy milk products (That should be adequate to your
nutritional needs.) So, I’m hearing you say that really at this point of my life I should
stop milk products. (Try bean curds, lots of sprouts, lots of pure water.) Is this on a
continuing basis? (Yes.)
You said allergies were setting in. (Yes.) I always think of allergies as an itch or
hay fever. (That is a manifestation of the allergy, but the allergy begins in the
thought pattern.) What thought pattern do I have that is bringing these allergies on?
(The need to jettison these physical properties from your life.) The feeling that I need
my job and that I need money? (And milk.)
I’m in a real process of healing. I’m finally getting my energy back, and it feels
great. Anything else you have, ideas for me to restore my health, to keep going?
(Restrain yourself from nicotine, from caffeine, from stimulants of any kind. Do not
overdo the relaxants either.) By “relaxants” do you mean my wine making, my
alcohol? (Not the making thereof, but the drinking thereof.) (Laughter.) OK. You
must have known that was one of my questions, because I do feel really drawn to make
wine, and I think it’s one of the life streams that I’m picking up. (Yes.) I am actually
drinking less and more involved with the making of it these past months. I am happy to
report that I have stopped my nicotine, my shameful little habit. So you suggest I stop the
caffeine, too? (Yes.) And “stimulants” are sugar, aren’t they? (Yes.)
OK. That takes care of my medical for me. As you know, I filed a stress claim
that is being heartily fought. I have a hearing coming up December 27th. I feel very
positive about my victory in this claim because I have a just claim, and I have many
people who are backing me up. I’m also trying to send love and blessings to my
company, so I won’t be caught up in anger. Is there any advice you have for me so that
the outcome will be positive for me? (You can use that affirmation we have given so
often, “Mercy, love, and compassion are infinitely reproduced” And incorporate in
your thoughts all people involved in this matter. You can also invoke Tzaphkiel that
balance shall be brought into the situation to understanding.)
Thank you so much. I have only one more question. I know you’re going to think
this is a mundane question, but we are earth people, and we have house payments to
make. In the coming earth changes, especially the more immediate ones, what is the best
way to protect our investments, our precious metals, our money in the bank, our stocks.
Do you have any advice for us?

Sheariam: The banking system world wide will fall. Do not depend upon the
monetary system remaining consistent, or as it now exists. You should prepare
yourselves with some kind of resources that you can make direct exchanges. Money,
in itself, is merely the concept of power. It is a means of indirect exchange. It is
entirely possible that gold will be confiscated by your government, and thus not be
an adequate medium of exchange, although, at this particular moment, in your
planetary situation, it is probably one of the safer reservoirs of assets. There is also
the possibility that material assets of other natures will be confiscated or conscripted
by your government. As the economic situation continues to deteriorate,
governments are bankrupt. One of the most severely bankrupt governments of your
world is your very own. Do not depend upon it for any kind of economic support.
You must in Hadiki provide your own support systems. We will discuss more about
security next time we meet.

Jon Paul: Would silver be all right? (Small silver coins. Large bullion will be
suspect. What you call “junk coins”.)
Jenika: Silver rounds. Those are similar to the silver dollar. That is the smallest
amount that silver is sold. (There is in existence silver coins, coined by your
government and by other governments, that have silver content which are called
“junk coins” in the colloquial language of collectors.) I have bought some silver coins.
Basically I haven’t bought the government coins. I’ve just bought the content of silver.
Sheariam: It is not the face value that is of importance here. It is the silver
content. They are most safe in that those will not be confiscated. So they can remain
as a means of indirect exchange. But in considering survival, going back to our
lesson, changing the way that you think abut things, your attitude towards things.
You must begin to think in terms of how you can barter one thing for another,
services for services or goods. The Hadiki Consciousness, which was recommended
to you a long time ago, was to begin your thought processes in this direction of
helping one another.
Now survival is not merely survival as an entity occupying a physical body in
this planet. Survival goes clear to the Realm of Soul. It is not merely a matter of the
Self Realm. If you are to accomplish that for which you incarnated, survival of your
contribution is more important than survival of your physical body. For the
contribution, the learning, the experience, the benefits derived of any incarnation
are carried forward into other realms to help build those realms. I am what I am,
not only by virtue of what I have accomplished but by virtue of what all human
Quality has accomplished. Expand your brains. Think larger. Do not allow
yourselves to be caught in the net of small thought. As you travel your initiatory
path, you will find that you are less and less involved in petty thought.

(Ed. This is all there was of this transcript.)
