Session #111 – November 27,, 1988
Gloria’s Circle

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

Session opened with the usual AUMs, invocations and meditation.

Sheariam: And a blessed good morning to you all. So we come together once
again to further your education. As promised, we shall discuss Security, a subject
upon which you have already placed some thought. In your earlier discussion as I
awaited my entrance, you discussed how not to respond to the negativity which may
be directed at you, for which you are not the cause. This is at the very seat of the
business of Security.
Now, to some of you, Security represents the money you have in the bank, the
roof over your head, the clothing you wear, the Status of your transportation, your
social circle, your influence, your capacity to sustain the life style to which you
aspire. All of these things were addressed when we discussed Identity, Space, Union
and Status. Those basics support the system of Purposes: Survival, Security,
Comfort, Luxury. Sometimes Survival is more important, and sometimes Luxury is
more important, but all are of equal importance, karmically.
Security does not lie within what you have, but within that upon which you
place your trust. In your manifest world, this may be family, friends, mentors, but
most importantly, “Self”. Do you trust yourself? Do you trust the Entity which
produced you as Personality? Do you trust your source group? Do you believe that
your source group really cares? Do you rest in the Security that such faith can give
you? Do you know the Security of a friendly Universe? Do you comprehend that
your smallest effort is supported by Universal forces?
Do you understand the power which you command? Obviously not, or you
would not have self-doubt. You would not be wondering where the next meal comes
from. You would know that it would be there. You would not be concerned about
when the next earthquake is to occur, or whether you are going to be on the
mountain that volcanically erupts. You would not be concerned that you did not
have bodily cover in case there is a snow.
Security is that state of trust that you will be taken care of, guided, sponsored
by these forces which gave you beingness, which brought your Personality into
manifestation. That is Security. Survival is knowing that what you shall never
perish. Security is the trust that this is so, without evidence of proof. Do you need
constant proof that a friend is trustworthy? Do you need constant proof that your
spouse or lover loves you? Do you need constant assurance that there is always a
certain amount of dollars coming to you, not merely due, but coming, that you will
indeed have that necessary quantity of money?
When you can walk your path with that confidence, that trust, that all of
your worldly needs will be met, then you can begin to enjoy the Security that all of
your spiritual needs are similarly met. So long as you focus upon the meeting of
your worldly necessities, your spiritual necessities will be neglected. The challenge is
immense.
You are products of lifetimes of being taught not to trust. Upon every hand,
it does seem that trust is violated. That is why you chose to be here under the Law of
Dominance, to learn to trust the unseen forces, to have confidence in love, to know
that the law operates whether or not you want it to.
If you live in the Hadiki Consciousness, you will not suffer beyond your
endurance. We do not say that there will not be hardship. We do say that you will
not starve. We do not say that you will not be cold. We do say that you will not
freeze. If you develop your confidence in the unseen forces of your life, you will be
safe from worldly disasters.
Now that does not obviate your meeting your “destiny”. If, upon incarnation,
your choice has been to abandon your earthly body in a disaster, then that is what
you will do, but that should not violate your sense of Security. It should, in fact,
reinforce it. Do not fear that which you have chosen. Do not be afraid that you have
made a poor choice. Do not fear the end of any “personality” span. You are eternal.
Your Security must lie in that knowledge. The Absolute does not destroy Itself, and
you are a manifestation of The Absolute.
Now when does Security surmount Survival, and what is the distinction?
Security is being steadfast. Survival is being ongoing. This is an example of
Opposing Forces. How does one stay put and continue to move? But you do. You
feel stationary in this room, but you are not. You are physically traveling very fast
in space. You are unaware of that, but you do not even question it. You are secure in
the knowledge of the steadfastness of this room, so you do not worry about the
Survival of your progress through space. So it is to the life of beingness. Your
security must be the steadfastness of trust. Your Survival must be the on-going-ness
of evolution and development.
Now, do you have any questions?

Jon Paul: Last time in discussing Survival, you mentioned that the Survival of our
contribution is far more important than the Survival of the physical body. Here are you
alluding to our group purpose karmically in coming together to promulgate and to
perpetuate the teachings, or do you mean our individual contributions? (Both and all.
That was a general statement.)

Owen: I think we understand that it is important for us to have the trust that we
continue, that our unseen support forces are there and real. By the same token, we’re not
all developed in sensitivity to the point where we can quite tap into these, and you have
given us enough of the indications of what we can expect physically, and what we need
to prepare for, to really inspire other questions which maybe you might view as being
evidence of our lack of trust. In our study group last Friday, we developed a series of
questions that were around this and toward the elaboration of the information that you’ve
already given us, and I guess that our rationalization was that if we can be more assured
of our own survival, to the point of comfort, then we are going to be better able to be of
help to ourselves and to others.
Acknowledging our shortcomings, we do have some additional questions about
our physical needs. You had mentioned that gold, for example, was a good investment or
a good place to have funds now, indicating for the short term. Is there any way that this
can be tied to an approximate time frame, say for the next year, or is this a very
temporary thing? (Confiscation will not likely be contemplated until the mid ‘90s of
your calendar. However, you will need liquid assets before then.)
So, between now and the mid ‘90s, then, gold would be appropriate. You
mentioned that of all the nations, ours is the most bankrupt and that the world banking
system would collapse. It takes a little doing to convert what we may have. How much
time do we have for that?

Sheariam: It depends upon how much of your assets you wish to liquefy. You
must be aware that not only is your federal government in trouble, but also the
federations of other to now world leaders. You are shortly to be involved in border
problems, not only to the south, but to the north. At the same time, this nation’s
major opponent has similar problems and internal strife.
As these internal problems continue to take the focus of the federal
government, other vulnerabilities become susceptible. There is going to be a
primary advance from what you call “the Far East”. Your United States is still
subject to attack from Japan, but is more likely to be physically attacked by China.
The Japanese are attempting to regain their face economically, and so the
vulnerability of your nation is economic, as far as Japan is concerned, but is
physical insofar as China is concerned. China has much more technological
advancement than any of the western powers dream of.

Owen: So our preparation for our own survival needs to take into account the
possibility of military attack. (Yes.) Is there any time frame on that? (It is not easy to
determine these things because the economics of the situation have too many
variables to be pre-determined.)
We have had quite a discussion from time to time on the figure of 2500 feet
elevation that you mentioned the sea level would temporarily rise to. Our presumption
was that this was in the form of a tidal wave and that would be of a short duration and the
2500 feet applied to the Coast Range, and that inland, say in the Cascades and on the east
side of the Coast Range, that elevation we needed to reach for our own safety would be
less than 2500 feet. Could you elaborate on that? (There is, at present, that stress that
is creating a geological disturbance in Alaska and in Japan that will bring a tidal
wave to the northwest United States and southwest Canada. You can triangulate
and see where the force of that most likely will come. That is in the not too far
distant future.)
This would be, in effect, a single event? (One of many. You recently
experienced a totally unpredicted earthquake in your northeastern section. You will
see tornadoes and hurricanes and tidal waves throughout the world, and
earthquakes where there have not been before. Now distress that builds to bring
about the geological disturbance is part of that which will bring the land mass to the
surface of the sea.)
Will that result in a substantial change in the present sea level? (Eventually, yes.)
Will there be any precursors or physical indicators that we can recognize for this
Japanese-Alaskan event? (There will be many tremors before the final biggest
upheaval, and then that will be followed by subsequent waves.)

Sidney: Sheariam, the answer we’re looking for is this: We are seeking a place of
high ground to rendezvous at prior to this occurrence. You had indicated that one
possibility we had discovered at 1200 feet might not be sufficient, and so we have looked
at other ones, and we are thinking of eastward slightly from this area. We are wondering
if it should be a 2000-foot or 2500-foot or 3000-foot elevation, and we’re looking for
some sort of recommendation that we can begin our search with. (Those kinds of
specifics are difficult for us to give because of the many involved. Going back to the
lesson of today, in Security you must learn to rely upon the guidance, not given
years in advance, but at the moment. You must trust that it will be there.)
So what part should planning play in our activities? (The means to move the
barest essentials of physical survival as given before: water, easily transportable
food.)

Owen: You had suggested before that it would be appropriate to bury some of
these things: water and food. That’s where we run into the problem of where to bury
them, because this does take time. (That will not be necessary for a short period of
disruption. That is an ultimate. You will know when the time comes that this must
be done.)

Sidney: So essentially we should be prepared to have a rendezvous point and then
progress from there as the spirit guides us, so to speak. (Yes.)

Jon Paul: When Gloria Ruth did a novena from which that concept of Hadiki came,
she spoke of vegetables and fruits that would need to be grown for a balanced diet in the
coming times. She spoke of spring grass, root vegetables, winter vegetables, certain
grains, certain small fruits. Could you give us more information on the type of fruits,
vegetables, grains, herbs, since there are many, that we should consider. I’m feeling that
we should be saving seeds now, particularly species type seeds that can be transported
easily and that are true to type. (You are correct. The hardiest, the most basic to
nutritional needs, not great variety. One special all-purpose grain, for instance.)
Would quinoa be a good one, the one that was used and is coming back again as a
high-protein type? (That, yes.)
What about herbs for medicinal needs or pharmacopoeia? There are many that we
could choose from. Is there a good basic fifteen or twenty that we should consider? (You
do not need even that many. Five or six.)
When Seranus spoke in my life reading about a previous lifetime in which I had
herbal knowledge, and I’m bringing that knowledge to the fore in this lifetime, even
though that was a different world, how can I access this? Just by working with the herbs?
(Feeling that kinship. What feels good in your hand? What heals you most quickly?
When your skin is opened and the blood comes forth, what most quickly seals that
wound? What most quickly heals a blister? What will dry and what will moisturize?
So herbal articles in the Cosmic Connection do have a very real importance for
us? (Yes.)

Jean: Sheariam, is cabbage among those that should be included? (Indeed.
Cabbage has many uses. It can even be treated to become a garment.)

Joni: Sheariam, I have some personal questions. The headaches I experienced
through childhood, were they the result of thought toxins? (Yes.) My eldest son, Eric,
requests information on a phobia. He fears any pointed object that projects toward him
and feels that he must protect his third eye. (If you had been murdered with a spear in
the head, you would also be so frightened.) Wow! Is there anything he can do to cope
and/or clear that? (You ask for information that is not within our purview to give.)
OK. Thank you.

Jnana: I believe you have mentioned that for some people it is not necessary to
give up milk products, and for some people it is necessary. (Correct.) I was wondering if
it is necessary for me and my wife to give up milk products. (In that you have chosen a
diet where proteins are limited, or sources of proteins are limited, you must
continue to allow high protein milk products in your diet.) Thank you, Sheariam.

Owen: Sheariam, I have a personal question. I’ve been aware that there have been
changes in my urinary tract, and I’m wondering if there are specific things I may do to
heal this condition. (One of the major causes for the discomfort, of course, is stress,
which is no surprise to you. I suggest that you mix one half teaspoon potable aloe in
pyramid water and take twice daily. Do not overlook the celery group.) Thank you.

Jenika: I seem to be healing very well, but my energy gives out on me very
quickly, and I just go under very rapidly, sometimes at 11:00 in the morning even. Could
you give me some ideas about where that’s coming from and what I can do to keep a
sustained energy level throughout the day like I used to have. (You are expecting too
much too soon. You should plan your activities in short spans with intervals of rest
and give your energy reservoirs a chance to be re-charged. You totally exhausted
them, and now you must bear the consequences of time.) Should I just follow the diet
that you’ve given me? (Yes.)
I wanted to clear something with you. I asked you where the allergies are coming
from. (Fear.) Fear of the unknown, or a free-floating anxiety? (That would be an
excellent description.) So that would have to do with trust. (Indeed.) And it sounds
like I may need to work out things from my past with my parents. (It would be helpful.
One of the involvements from your recent illness. The illness was a physical
manifestation of complete debilitation of the defense systems of the body. You have
built many defense systems of thought and feeling. These have resulted because of
choices you have made, and you must learn that past experience of betrayal,
invasion, pain and violation are not necessarily the basis or the materials upon
which future activities or relationships are to be built.
Because pain inflicted by one has caused you to expect similar pain to be
inflicted by another of similar nature, you build a defense that prevents you from
again adventuring into a similar relationship. Those defenses must be diminished.
You must adventure and risk or you will again have your physical defenses
destroyed.
But do not jump into something without thought. Give yourself time to heal,
to contemplate, to evaluate, to discriminate. Take life in shorter strides with less
violence, with less brashness. You are not a warrior rushing into battle with your
shield in front and your sword pulled. You are a human traveler, and you must
dare, and you must trust. If you rush at life as a warrior, force is met with force.
Approach gently. Be gentle with yourself. Treasure yourself, and then others will
treasure you, too.
This has to do with Security.For all of you, if you are not secure in your
sense of self, then others cannot be secure about you. If you doubt yourself, others
doubt you. If you are confident in yourself, then others shall have confidence in you.
You cannot have confidence in others if you do not have confidence in yourself.
Trust yourselves. You are your own best friend or your own worst enemy.)

Jean: Can you talk more about the sense of trusting yourself? This is a very
difficult thing to achieve. You have talked about it before, but how do you overcome self-
doubt? It seems that the more you learn about yourself, the more inadequacies you
become aware of. This last week when I tried to purge, it seemed to me that more came
up to be purged. (When you have purged, is there not still the “I Am”? Are you not
still a being?) Yes. (Are you not still life manifest?) Yes. (You do not doubt that.) No,
I don’t doubt that. (You have confidence in that. You have trust in that. I am not
suggesting that you have trust in all of your conclusions or in all of your decisions.
You are, after all, only a portion manifest. Thus you are not complete and perfect in
manifestation. You are perfect and complete in being. Thus you must trust the
Entity which gives you “Personality”. You must trust the Soul which gives the birth
to the Entity. You must trust the Self. If the trust is placed in the Self, then it will not
be the “Personality” making decisions. Therefore, the decisions made by the Self
will be more perfect, more complete, nearer the target.)

Jon Paul: I have a further question about relinquishing or purging. I’ve been
physically letting go of a lot of things, and also psychologically in my space. Now I have
a situation with one who lives behind. You said not to take on negativity when it is
directed toward you, and you are not the cause. This individual is at a cross roads in his
life. Would it be better now that his friend is gone, for me to say,” Is it time for you to
take the next step,”? I’m wanting to be protective, but at the same time not wanting to,
hmmmm. (It is not your job to be protective. None of you can protect another from
that other’s Self. This knowledge of that fact is basic to your sense of Security.)
So my feeling of wanting to simplify things, of creating an open space to go along
with what my inner knowing is a correct assumption. (That is correct. All of you should
take this simplification to heart. In the simplification of your lives, you prepare for
your survival in the times to come. I’m talking about physical survival here. The less
you have to be concerned about at a time of stressful demands upon your tensions,
the more correctly you will pursue the guidance that is offered you. As you concern
yourselves with possessions and attachments, you cloud your perception.)
So we should surround ourselves with just those things that we really need, and
then provide also sustenance for the Soul, but not clutter our lives. (You may have
whatever you wish around you, but you must be able to leave it there if you need to
depart.) That’s what I’ve been feeling.

Jean: I’m concerned about passing on to my grandchildren some of the
knowledge I have gained. I plan it in my mind, and yet it seems it only partially takes
place. I’m not satisfied with the passing on. Do you have any suggestions? (You are
being guided in the restrictions placed upon your communication. Those children
have certain events planned for themselves to experience, and they must have those
experiences before they have the knowledge which you wish to give them. Your best
plan of action is to pass along the ethics, that sense of “I Am”-ness of continuity, of
self-confidence, of the capacity to grow, to stretch, to reach out, to seek experience
which expands the consciousness. They do not need to know fact. They do not need
to know Laws, Principles.)
Thank you. That is a great help. I think that is happening. (You can teach them
the value of sound as you teach a child a song. They do not need to know what the
meaning of the sound is, only that it is uplifting, enduring, sustaining.)

Owen: I have one additional question about our concern for places to locate.
When that time comes, I would assume that things will be in a chaotic state with respect
to government and property lines. I’m assuming then that federal property will be…
(Quite accessible.)

Jon Paul: Going back to the question about the vegetables and herbs, would it be a
good thing for us to have a collective seed bank out of which we can draw at the
beginning of each year for our garden? Or would it be better for each individual to hold
his own? (Hadiki Consciousness is collective.)
I have a question about the night I fell on my left knee, which symbolizes
mobility, and also refers to something, a relaxant. You talked about relaxants that we
should avoid. I have since thought that for me it would be better to give up all alcohol,
wine. At the same time, I have a tendency to be very puritanical at times, and I’m not
sure whether I should or shouldn’t. Can you give me some guide lines? (Examine your
flexibility. There are times appropriate, and times inappropriate. Excess is to be
avoided.)
So taken with food, it can be something that aids digestion? (In moderate
quantities, yes. As a matter of fact, white wine is an excellent substitute for milk.
However, not in equal quantities.) (Laughter.)

Betty: Now, would you tell us a little bit more about that because of my
knowledge of what the nutritive value is, there is no comparison. Could you explain what
you’re saying? (It is not nutritive value. It is the acceptance of the body, and the
chemical composition and decomposition that occurs as the body accepts these
substances. Milk may be highly nutritive, but it is not if it sets up a problem of
allergies.)

Jon Paul: Would the new non-alcoholic wines be preferable? (Not necessarily, for
it is the alcoholic content which aids in the digestion.)
What about the fermentation? One of the plagues that we have is that of Candida.
It has been said that about 90% of the population is infected, not knowing. One of the
things that we must give up is all fermentation. (True, including cheese.) Would it be
better just to sign off all fermented products, which would mean soy products? (If they
cause you a problem. Use common sense. Don’t expect the Oracle of Delphi.)

Jenika: When I make my wine, I talk to my wine throughout the whole process. I
have a feeling for them. I’ve also been privileged to have a dream where I saw the Nature
Spirit Timmy. People have told me that when they drink my wine, many times they don’t
have the physical effects that they have when they take a commercial wine. Is there
something different in the way, in talking to wines and caring for them and feeling for
them as children that will have a better effect than just a commercial wine? (Of course.
What did we teach you?)
I just wanted to see it in print. (Laughter) (Those of you who cook, when you
prepare your food, thank the food for being food. Bless the spirit of the food. Tell it
how wonderful it is, and how blessed to your nutrition that it is to be. Make it know
its value. It needs Security, too.)

Jnana: Jack Schwartz says that by maintaining a level of excitement that his
defenses are maintained that way, and that he need not be concerned with even taking any
poisons. (True.) What is the best way to approach such a level of excitement. (You must
first learn how to survive on air rather than food, as Mr. Schwartz has done.)
Any directions you could give us to work toward that? (That must be at one’s
own aspiration and in accordance with one’s own guidance. That is not something
that can be generalized at this point in time.)

Betty: As long as we’re talking about food, could you share some enlightenment
about chocolate? We hear all kinds of things about chocolate. (Again, it depends upon
the individual make up of the physical organism as sponsored by the subtle bodies.
One individual can eat chocolate, and drink caffeine, and imbibe wine and, indeed,
even take poison and have no ill effects. For someone else all of those things are
toxic. I could not answer in general. Chocolate is a stimulant, so what applies as
stimulant applies to chocolate.)
Is a craving of it sometimes an indication that you’ve let your energy reserves
become too low? (It is often associated in the Emotional Body with Security. It is not
necessarily a nutritional need.)

Jean: When you say “some will go and some will stay” because of various
conditions, I have assumed that I would be one that would stay. (Do not make
assumptions.)

Joni: Gloria Ruth was wondering about the significance of the paper weight
sitting to her left on the table. Can you tell her anything about that? (She will know when
it is necessary for her to know.)

Betty: I have another question that has been coming to my mind. Perhaps now is
an appropriate time? You spoke of Joni’s son having a fear of pointed objects because of
a death in a past life. Why do we have these specific fears when we have died over and
over and over again? (Under the Law of Dominance you experience the cessation of a
personality span often by violence, and you come back to this Law of Dominance in
order to learn the value of Security without violence. If you did not have the fear,
you would not be aware of the violence.)

Sheariam: Now it is time for me to give you my blessings, bid you go in joy and
peace, until we meet again. I bid you adieu.
