Session #115 – March 12, 1989
Gloria’s Circle

Present: Betty Welty, Ida Nevala, Owen Cramer, Jeneeka, Jnana Sivananda, Joni
Schultz, Marlayna Brady, Myra Perala, Jean Chisholm, Peter Valiton,
Sidney Smither, Bill Leeper, Edith, Phyllis Miller and Vivian Rice

The “away” meeting was held at Marlayna’s. Following the AUM’s, invocations and a
meditation led by Sidney, Sheariam announced:

Sheariam: Good morning, students and friends. Welcome to our guests. Peace to
this house and those who occupy it. We would speak to you this morning upon the
subject of Hadiki Consciousness. It is our wish, and the purpose behind our activity
in coming to you, to weld you in consciousness in a system of love and peace so
invincible that it is unassailable. So you put joy into the life lived on this planet.
It is to this end that you must support each other. You must feel within
yourself, individually, a trust and confidence that you can at any time call upon each
other to fill whatever your need may be. You will be conducting your lives with such
personal responsibility that this call for help will only be a matter of great
extremity. If you are to fulfill the trust of the Human Quality you must become self-
responsible, self-sufficient in maintaining your own confidence, your own knowledge
that you have the skills and the resources to maintain successfully the pursuit of
your goals.
Hadiki companions are not crutches, but they are support; not support in
such a way that if withdrawn, that which is supported falls, but rather a
reinforcement of strength and resources. Each of you, as individuals, have unique
talents, and through the contribution of those talents to the group activity, you
create an entity, the group entity, which in itself is supportive.
Thus it is that we began last time to give you tasks, that you shall learn the
skills that will insure your future success. What may seem to be a rather untidy and
mundane task, that of making soap, has far-reaching thrust for the Hadiki. You
individuals have chosen to incarnate in a society at a time when soap has become no
longer a luxury but a necessity. It will remain a necessity and will continue to
appreciate in value as the materials with which it is made become more scarce, and
the techniques for making the proper soap become less well-known. Hadiki will
evolve a soap that is in high demand. It will become your medium of exchange in the
future. That is why we give you this task, to learn about soap-making. And when
you have become familiar with the technique, we shall begin to instruct you in
formulae of the Hadiki product.
We will address your concerns about using animal fat. Animal fat will have
no place in Hadiki product, not because it is sinful or karmically inappropriate to
slaughter animals. That is not the point. It is that the animals are products of a
system which inculcates substances into the tissues which are inappropriate for your
product. In addressing this matter, we would advise that due to your incarnating at
this time and in this place, you have partaken of the consciousness which does
indeed raise animal products for its use. This is a natural evolution. It is one of the
industries built upon the Mobilizers of bodily function, and thus is not
inappropriate in itself. However, the appropriate means by which this is
accomplished have been abandoned in favor of power and increased profit.
The killing of animals for the use of their parts is now sacrilegious because it
is not done religiously. The animals are not sacrificed and dedicated. Only religious
institutions now long extinct have appreciated the necessity for blessing the flock or
the herd, or the group before preparing it for the sustenance of humans. It is not
karmically sinful to take the life of an animal if all the parts of that animal are
properly used, and the animal is properly raised and properly killed. But your
society, through greed for profit, now raise those animals in such conditions as to be
karmically sinful. The Consciousness of the animal slaughtered is inappropriate to
the integration of it with the Human Consciousness, and thus your human body
produces toxicities upon ingestion of animal product.
You are fast moving in the direction of bringing about the same conditions
with regard to your plant life. Plants have as high a level of Consciousness as do
you, but they do not have the Volitional capacity that you do. You will find plants
which are given homes in the immediate environment of humans that become
attached to those humans, they miss them when those humans are away, and
welcome them when they return, respond to love and communication, flourish as a
child flourishes with tender care, and die with neglect. This is true of your food
plants as well. A food plant shrinks at the cutter’s knife, but gives of itself joyously
when asked with love and appreciation.
At this time, when you do not raise your own food stuffs and you go to
market, that plant life has not been properly reared, or reaped, or processed. Until
you develop the Hadiki gardens, you must take extraordinary means with the plant
life that you ingest. As you market, bless all of the plant life represented, before you
make your selection. Then allow your Hadiki Consciousness to draw your hand to
that particular piece of plant life that is appropriate to your Consciousness so you
will select a friend for your table rather than an enemy.
This is true of any product you use that you do not prepare yourselves. In
selecting raw materials for a home-prepared product you must use the same. If you
are acquiring raw materials by a procedure which prohibits your direct contact
with the source, you must follow the selection procedure just described, mentally, so
that when that raw material arrives in your hands, by whatever means it is
delivered, it is the appropriate consciousness for your use.
Hadiki Consciousness is supportive, not destructive. Therefore you must
begin immediately to seek the Hadiki Consciousness in all things, all products, not
just food products. Allow that which is appropriate to come to your demand.
Mentally, in good conscience, thoughtfully prepare your Consciousness to draw to it
that which best supports it.
In the time to come, Hadiki groups, whether calling themselves Hadiki or not
is immaterial, the groups of Hadiki Consciousness, in little spots here and there, will
be planting the seeds of the future, the seeds of the Consciousness that will
ultimately develop the world society. It is based upon this concept that at a later
time today we shall lead you in a world peace meditation that will be for your use as
we promised.
Now we gave you a task of study, of self-study and examination, under the
step of Motivation on the Karmic wheel, and we asked you to observe your
activities, what mobilizes, what bodily functions you now control, and which control
you, and how you think you may be able to change that. Do we have a report?

Peter: Sheariam, I have something to report. I’ve not done it completely, but I
was never enamored with the idea of being cold. For the last several days, maybe a week
and a half or more, I’ve been able to feel warmth in my leg that I need all over my body
when it is cold. I have not done it through my whole body yet. At least, now I know it can
be done. So that is a partial step, anyway, and I am very grateful for instructions. (Very
good. This is an important step because all of your flannel, all of your leather shoes
and boots and weather-protective gear will not suffice in the cold that is coming, if
you do not have the control of bodily function to increase circulation and maintain
body temperature from within.)

Joni: I have learned, through having a pretty acute pain in my back, that I have
been very rigid, and I’m starting to become more open and flexible in my thought
patterns, and the pain in my back is almost gone. So, I feel that I’m moving in the right
direction. Can you confirm that for me? (Congratulations.) Thank you.

Jnana: Sheariam, is not breath also involved in keeping the body warm under
extreme conditions? (Ventilation, yes.) Particular breathing exercises? (That is part of
the control factor. That is what you must learn to control. Until you control your
breathing, your breathing controls you. Were it not for controlled breathing, I could
not come through this channel.)
Betty: Would you expand on that a little bit more, please? (One of the factors
that permits the Gloria personality to evacuate the body, is the control of breathing,
and in allowing me to take over that process of breathing. As soon as breathing
function stops, the personality will reclaim the body. I cannot control the body until
the controlled breathing of the personality desists.)
Joni: Does Gloria Ruth, then, stop breathing as she leaves her body? (She
breathes in the subtle bodies, but no longer controls the expansion and contraction
of her lungs.)

Myra: Oh. That’s the reason why Silverthistle had such a tough time at first. He
would forget to breathe her body. (He had not breathed a body in a long time.)
(Laughter.) She ran out of breath and turned blue, so her instinct of breathing really isn’t
instinct any more, it becomes her choice. YOU do the motivation of the breathing. (Yes.
So long as I am present.)

Betty: And looking at the other side of the coin, if we want to be totally in
control, it behooves us to be very well aware of our breath and our breathing process.
(Indeed, yes.)
Edith: Is that like Kriya Yoga, the breathing technique they teach? (That is one
facet, yes.)

Jean: Sheariam, I’ve been very much aware of your presence all week. It seems
you’ve given me some whoppers of lessons. The first one was to gain control, motivated
by love, when my fig tree was mutilated, and that worked. The other motivation for me is
joy or pleasure. I find so many things that give me pleasure, particularly being able to
meet the need of someone, and help someone, and feeling the appreciation that someone
expresses to me, and expressing appreciation to someone else.
I find curiosity motivates me. I want to learn more. Then the sense of achievement
of doing something hard, even the achievement when you miss. I find I can control what
comes into my body, but the elimination is very difficult to control. Breathing has a great
deal to do with this, and as long as I was breathing, I was able to.
But my lesson this morning particularly was when my breathing was upset, and I
had a terrible time. So it seems to me that you’ve really been with me a great deal with
week, and I’ve learned a lot. (That is our privilege, to be permitted to be a part of
your learning process and to help you. That is the Hadiki support.)
Thank you. I’ve felt it this week more than I ever have before, and I’ve had the
“tuning fork” this week a great deal. I’m having quite a bit of “tuning fork” this morning
as you say things. Thank you very much. (The “tuning fork” as you call it is the
increasing sensitivity of the higher vibration of our subtle bodies.) Tell me more
about that. (The curiosity speaks.) (laughter.) (All in good time.)

Betty: As I was trying to do more control this week, it seems that it got totally
out of hand. I’d been telling myself when people come around me with bad colds and
everything that I am not going to take their symptoms. I do not need them. I am going to
remain healthy. At times it seemed that I could be fine, and then other times, I seem to
have taken on all the symptoms. I’m wallowing in it. Can you give me information as to
what is happening?

Sheariam: You have been in need of support. You have needed someone to hold
you, cuddle you, and tell you you are loved and appreciated, and that you are a good
girl. Since no one does that, you make those symptoms such that you can cuddle
yourself in good conscience. When you learn that you are indeed worthy of love and
appreciation, whether or not it is shown, but that you know you are worthy, you will
no longer exhibit such symptomology. You are beloved. We love you if no one else
does. But you must learn to love yourself.
It is true that as humans you have the need to punish. This is part of the
evolutionary condition under the Law of Dominance. Consequently, you punish
yourselves for vague guilt, guilt you cannot define. So you have colds, and aches and
pains, and skin eruptions, bowel problems. These are all symptoms. You are
punishing yourselves. The Hadiki Consciousness, our teachings, our love, is to help
you grow beyond that, to help you understand that you are guiltless. You have
nothing for which to be guilty. Your bodies are a product of this time of evolution in
the human condition, and you have chosen this product to inhabit, to help change, to
move forward, the evolution, the Quantification of the Quality. You do that by
moving forward the Quantification of all Qualities which you ingest, or breathe in,
or take in emotionally, mentally or spiritually.
Through our blessings, you raise the Consciousness of that which you use,
but you must also heed our previous instruction that there is that which is more
appropriate for your use than something other. You are complex. The living of your
life is complex. We do not intend to make it seem simple, but there are matters
which you make more difficult for yourselves than you need to. For you (Betty) you
can rid your congestion by confronting yourself with “I love me. I am worthy. I am
beloved.)
Betty: Thank you. I’ll put it on my mirror.

Jnana: The elimination exercise which you gave me last time, which involves the
contraction of the stomach muscles, I was wondering how many repetitions you would
recommend of that exercise. (How long can you sustain the exercise any given time?
Do not fatigue yourself in doing the exercise, but allow the body to become
conditioned to the exercise, to accommodate a slightly longer period of time at each
session, but do it only once each morning.) Thank you, Sheariam.

Jenika: I find that I have been having a difficult time doing the physical control
exercise because I’m in a period of my life where I don’t have peace of mind. I’m trying
to get well physically, and I’m trying to get my mind together from what I’ve been
through this past year. It’s like a circle. I can’t get going. I’m having difficulty building
momentum to even get inspired about doing the exercises, because I seem to be mired in
this other stuff, and I’m trying to get out of it. Could you give me some advice?

Sheariam: This is advice for all. You, each of you, having yourselves mired in
your own little cesspool. You each must learn to clean up your own environment,
both inwardly and outwardly. None of you is perfect. Does that surprise you?
(Laughter.) You are no worse off than any of the others, but your focus, at this time,
is drawn to mire. You say, “I can’t”. That isn’t true. You can. Focus on “can”. Your
children have a story about the little choo choo engine that can. You can. You must
convince yourself that you can. I am convinced.

Jenika: Is that an affirmation for me? (Indeed.) Thank you, Sheariam. (If I am,
then I can. Examine your sound glossary. What does the sound of “k”, pronouncing
the “k” sound, mean? Why do you say “Khamael”? Have you forgotten that it
begins with “K”?)
Myra: It’s “the shadow of the Divine Fire”. (I “K”-an. And the “N” sound?)
Jenika: “Going from the Divine to the Mundane and back again. (And you think
Divine cannot? Of course, you can. All of you can. Will you?) (Positive responses.)

Edith: Sheariam, could you offer any help in how I can assist my sister at this
time, who needs help right now in her life? Is there anything I can do:? (Your sister
must live her own life. You cannot live it for her. You can love. You can bless. You
can give comfort. You can give aid. But the final responsibility lies within her. You
must allow her the privilege to do what she has to do.)

Jean: Sheariam, would you speak more about this feeling of being unworthy
which I think I know I feel, and I think we all feel? (It is a common thread and is
indigenous to the Law of Dominance. When you all reach that level, that ratio of
volition to Consciousness, which completely erases that sense of unworthiness, you
will no longer be incarnate under the Law of Dominance.
No matter how successful you may become at maintaining a level of self love
and self confidence, the little worm of uncertainty and unworthiness will eat at the
foundations of your structure. It is for you to be your own pest control. You must be
constantly alert for the seeds, for the eggs of the vermin, and root them out before
they hatch.
The minute you begin to feel uncertain, begin to question your worthiness,
begin to fear that you are unloved, you must confront that face on and recognize it
for what it is. It is the karmic consequence of previous action under the Law of
Dominance. You do not have to suffer! You must take control. You must be in
charge. “I Will. The Divine I is worthy. The Divine I is secure. It is the Divine I which
is manifest as me, and in my Divine I Am, I am perfect.” It is not easy.

Jean: Could you comment more on the human problem with this which is
sometimes expressed as egotism or superiority, or all of the other negative things that
come out that one’s fears? (Remember always that it is not your responsibility to
show another as sweetness. If it is necessary for another to act or feel or be superior
to you, in your heart you know that is not so. Allow that individual the consequences
of his own action. It is not up to you to judge or punish. When you judge and when
you punish, when you accept that other’s evaluation of a circumstance or situation,
you are negating your own “I AM”. When you feel unworthy because another acts
in a superior fashion, you are saying the “I AM” is imperfect. You know that is not
so. So you are telling yourself a lie.)
Sheariam, I meant that those faults within yourself, not within the other. The fear
of being, appearing to be, conceited or it’s a fear within yourself that conflicts with being
worthy. Can you talk on that? (It is the purpose behind our teaching on the steps of
Motivation. That is why we began with bodily function, which is a primary mover, a
prime Mobilizer. With coming lessons, we will begin to examine the Emotional,
Mental and Spiritual Mobilizers among which are conceit, greed, curiosity. Our
next lesson, when again we meet at our regular place will be on
Space-Making and Maintenance.)

Betty: Sheariam, this is Betty again. In your answer to Edith, you said, “Love,
bless, give comfort and aid”. I think this goes along with our space. There are a number
of us who are dealing with other members of the family. Yet we get into uncomfortable
situations. After I talk with my mother, I have to analyze. “Am I being fair? Am I closing
off?” (Analyze to the ridiculous.)
My feeling is that I would just as soon not talk to her again, because each time it
ends up a martyr being that I have to…. (Then talk in non-talk. You can talk with her
but do not become emotionally involved.) I’m becoming more and more less
emotionally involved, and I keep thinking… (Very good. You are giving her the
opportunity to do what she thinks she must do. That is your responsibility. Your
responsibility is also not to become emotionally involved and caught.)
Sometimes I feel like I’m just extricating myself, and I don’t know if that’s
helping her or not. (Oh, indeed. You give her the opportunity to say whatever it is she
feels she must say, or do whatever it is she feels she must do. When you do not take
it personally and become emotionally involved, then you are fulfilling your
responsibility in that relationship. If you do not allow her to vent, you then force her
to bottle up the toxins which ultimately poison. Allow the ventilating of these toxic
emotions and thoughts and actions. Then bless them that they become neutralized,
but you do not bathe in the toxins.)
What can I do to reduce the mental anguish and pain and compulsion that she
feels? (You cannot. Only she can do that. As you exhibit the Hadiki Consciousness of
invulnerability, by loving and compassionate attention, that love and compassion
neutralizes the venom and brings some degree of balm to a troubled heart.)
Is there anything the group can do to help in this kind of situation? (Give
unconditional love. Judge not the being by the action. You ask – tough assignment.
But as you deal with this situation in good conscience with open and sincere love,
non-judgmentally, you give the greatest assistance to the situation and the
individuals involved, and incredibly advance your own Hadiki Consciousness.)

Joni: I was working on Peter’s finger and feel like we produced a little change.
Is there a next step to take with that? (It would be helpful if the finger were
immobilized for a period of time.) OK, that’s easy to do. Is there anything I should do
either physically with it or off the body? (Some diathermy to soften the physical tissue,
and some Silverthistle treatment of the subtle bodies to do the same.) OK. Thank
you. Betty asked me if I would address her elbow. What do you recommend that I do
with that? What’s the best way for me to deal with that? (Together, in visualization,
smooth the surface of all parts, so that they move against each other without
friction, while you do the Silverthistle treatment in the subtle bodies.)

Vivian: I am a newcomer. (Not really.) (Laughter.) I would like to know what I
can do about my little right hand finger, in the top joint of the finger. It’s been there for
three or four years. I don’t know what it is or what to do or what it’s from. (Again, the
same sort of treatment as for the elbow and by the visualization of the dissolution,
the dissolving, the soothing out. Also with the Silverthistle treatment.)

Joni: I had a very vivid dream last night that I had gone into the attic, a rather
hidden attic of a business establishment, and found a check stuck up on a ceiling tile –
kind of wedged in with the metal support. The check was written out for someone else
and dated back a year or more. I found the check, and I was delighted, and it gave me
great joy to know that I could get it to the person who was supposed to receive it. I have a
feeling it is really significant. Can you help me with that? (Your business enterprise is
soon to take on another dimension that will incorporate what you consider to be a
higher level of consciousness which as yet is undiscovered by you. Your rewards will
be found when you pass on what you discover there to others.)
And this will become more apparent to me? (It is a natural growth, and the seed
has already been planted. Allow it to mature.) That sounds very exciting. Thank you.

Myra: That same kind of dream came to me last night.
Joni: Are you involved?
Myra: I don’t know. I was up in an attic, and I was… actually there were a lot of
people there, and my husband had taken the bill and gone to pay it. So I said, “Well,
everybody, will you please pay up so we don’t get stuck with your money, you know,
with the bill.” And people gave me their checks, and so then I was handing out receipts.
Then I was in an attic and had a lot of tough climbing to do to get the people to return the
receipts. Then I was passing their checks out to them again.
It was like I was handing out checks and receipts to people, and I went through a
window. Then I had to climb back through the window. It’s so crazy, but I was passing
checks and receipts too, in the same way. Would there be a connection between the two
dreams? (Indeed.)
Could you explain a little bit please? (As you…)

Jean: I had a similar dream, too. (Laughter.) Mine was a little different, but very
same elements. (As you complete the tasks which we give, and you advance the
Hadiki Consciousness, and you weld that consciousness as we previously described,
you will find greater and greater opportunities for increasing profit spiritually
opening to you. Then following the opening comes the manifestation of the worldly
goods necessary under the Law of Dominance. It will be a natural outcome of your
increasing Quantification of your Quality under the Hadiki aspect.)
Joni: Does the fact that we all had similar dreams at the same time show growth
in the Hadiki Consciousness, that we could communicate on that level? (It shows that
you are all becoming aware of your future.)

Jenika: Sheariam, I had a very short dream that all the members of Hadiki were
taking a test. At the end of the test, all the scores were added up and divided by the
number of Hadiki members, and that was the score that was used. (Equality. No matter
what the contribution is, no matter how it might be judged under the Law of
Dominance, all contribution is equal in value. So you saw the average, you see.)

Owen: Sheariam, you were talking earlier about controlling our mental and bodily
functions, and I was wondering if you could give some advice on controlling the results
of stress, in stressful situations. How do we stay calm and energized in the most
constructive directions? (Calm at the moment of the activity is that of mental and
emotional strength and control. The ultimate calm sustaining activity is
contemplative time alone where you can then seek that reassurance and refilling
from the higher realms. Sleep is not enough. You must dedicate a certain portion of
your working daily living activity time, that higher realm infilling can be part of
that. This begins by setting aside a time alone when you will not be interrupted, and
the flow of consciousness between the higher realms and the Realm of Self can be
increased and strengthened.) Thank you. Is that flow from the higher realms the same
thing that might be spoken of as from the Higher Self? (The Higher Self is the channel,
yes.)

Jenika: Can you simply explain what happens when we go to sleep and dream?
Where do we get our dreams from? The dreams are so real. Where are we at?

Sheariam: You have been given a description of your subtle bodies. As the
carbon body becomes inactive in a state of awareness that you call sleep, other
factors, other facets of your Consciousness focus away from the carbon body. Using
the subtle bodies as a vehicle, your awareness travels away from the carbon body.
The Vital Body maintains a protective shell around the carbon body, portions of the
Desire and Emotional Bodies, and becomes attenuated as the focus moves farther
and farther away from that carbon body.
That focus may take your awareness merely to another part of your
particular construct of cosmos, of galaxy, of perhaps merely another planet in your
solar system. But that attenuation can be refined even further, so that focus becomes
directive for awareness of another dimension, or even other multiple dimensions, in
which your Consciousness is embodied in something parallel to the carbon body. In
other words, you become aware of other personalities which are you and aware of
the functions of that personality. So you are asking for a simple explanation of an
extremely complex human activity.
The dream is this planet personality’s interpretation of a very real
experience, which may be an experience of this carbon body’s future, or that of
another personality facet in a past, present, or future. Does that help?

Jenika: I knew it wasn’t going to be simple. (Laughter.) It seems also that we
dream what we’re focused on. (The dream is the material interpretation of what the
focus is during that period of sleep.)
What is the best way to prepare for sleep for dreaming? (Present your problem
to your Higher Self and ask for whatever it is you wish the dream to provide.) I do
that, and I’m always surprised when it works. (Why?) It’s an amazing process. (You are
an amazing person.) Of course. (Titters.)

Joni: Sheariam, we just hope you know how much we love and appreciate and
bless you, and enjoy having you as part of our lives. (We know.) (Laughter.)
Marlayna: Sheariam, I’m very honored that you came to this place to be with us
today. We are blessed. Truly blessed. Thank you. (We appreciate your
acknowledgment. Now, have we worn out our welcome?) (Chorus of vigorous “No!”)

Betty: Some other question. Oh, I’m afraid to ask now. (Fear. A little worm.)
(Laughter.) No, a big worm. I do not generally dream that I can recall, even when I say I
want to dream on something. It’s rare when I have anything I can bring back to my
conscious state. (That is a problem of memory, not activity.) Sometimes I am very
aware that I have dreams, but I can’t pull anything back. (Do you prepare for the future
memory? It is one thing to ask for the experience. It is another to ask to remember
it.)
I put pencil and paper and flashlight and everything beside the bed, and that’s
done nothing. (Have you instructed yourself to do it?) I’ll work some more on it.
Thank you very much. (Again a good lesson in Mobilizers. You may prepare a fine
meal and place it on the table, but if you do not sit down to eat it, it remains unused
upon the table.)

Jenika: Sheariam, some of our dreams are simple to interpret. They’re more
obvious. Others that are filled with symbology are more difficult to interpret. What are
some of the ways that we can learn to interpret some of the symbology for ourselves so
that we can reap the benefits of our dreams. (The less fear, the less guilt, the more sense
of self-confidence and self-worth that you can inculcate in your personality, the
more easily the dreams will become straight-forward and less symbolical. The mind
presents symbols because the personality or beingness or entity at some level cannot
deal directly, only in peeks and in hints. It is as though you expose your eyes to full
bright sun. You cannot. You must wear some protective device or pull your eyelids
down. So the mind presents the truth covered, obscured. The mind does not want to
blind you. It wants to inform you.)
Sometimes that is very painful physically for me if I’m awakened sharply. Is this
because the subtle bodies are surging quickly back to resettle? (Yes.)

Myra: Sheariam, I’ve discovered that in my desire to remember my dreams that I
would think that I will write that down in a little while. I’ll remember it because it is so
vivid. And if I don’t write it down right away quick, I then cannot remember it. (Of
course.) So I’ve discovered that if everything else is put back until after the dream is
down, then I am able to remember the dream quite well. In fact, when I start writing, I
still can’t remember it, but it comes back as I’m writing. (Yes.) So that’s how I’m still
improving my memory of dreams. (Everyone should keep a dream journal.)

Bill: Why is it that I can recall dreams right now that I had some time ago, and
others I just don’t’ recall. What is that? (The dream remembered is one not yet
utilized.) Oh, really. In the past I never used to have dreams. In the past year or more I’m
beginning to have dreams. Is this a fear that I had to not remember any dreams at all? Is
that what you’re trying to say there? (Yes. If the mind has a message for you, it will not
be deterred until you understand the message. The message will be given in many
different forms, not only in different dreams, but in different daily encounters. Thus
it is that you must watch for signs.)
Sheariam, I haven’t felt fear in any of these dreams. In one I slayed a black cat, a
large panther-like cat because it was in my way one night. So far I haven’t encountered
fear. (The fear is not in the dream. The dream activity is not remembered and dealt
with because of a fear of something else. That fear could be of being unworthy, of
being guilty of some un-namable crime, of doing something adverse to one’s own
best welfare. In your current evolutionary condition, exercise of power is a
predominant activity, and the Hadiki Consciousness is to be equal, to exercise one’s
own power only over one’s self. Yet you are subject to the race consciousness and
drives. So you may feel guilty because you act upon race consciousness instead of
self-consciousness. When you begin to recognize that you are doing one or the other,
you have opened the door to self-understanding and self-control.)

Joni: I’ve been beginning, probably for the first time in my life, to think about
situations and say, “If I didn’t have to consider anybody or anything else, what would
bring me joy in this situation?” And I’m finding that frequently what would bring me joy
is something that would perhaps bring joy to other people, or something at least that
would not bring harm and would be an acceptable thing to do. It makes such a difference
to acknowledge that what I’m doing I’m doing with joy, because it’s really special. (And
it is all right.) That’s the most important thing. That it’s OK to do something that will
bring me joy. (You are gaining in sense of self-worth, you see.) It sure has taken a long
time to come.

Owen: Sheariam, you mentioned watching for signs. Did that mean in dreams or
in physical? (In what you call the physical. They come in very unusual
circumstances.)

Peter: That brings up another point within me. I joined the Mellaluca Co.
because I was looking for non-invasive household cleaning products and other things.
Two times I have misplaced my Melalucagram, a publication from the company. Does
that mean that I’m spinning my wheels? (Yes. That is a sign. Your source group
provides you with direction constantly, obscuring something you wish to lay your
hand upon, or putting into your hand something you think has been misplaced,
causing you to notice details which you previously overlooked, little things. At the
moment that you become aware that your source group has made your way clear in
some manner, give them a word of thanks and appreciation. They are people, too.)
Thank you. I do appreciate and I’m grateful. I love you.

Bill: Sheariam, that’s what I’ve been doing this past week very much. Thank
you. (You see, we teach you all the time. It is not just in these moments that we
spend together under these circumstances. We are in constant contact with you. You
have committed to us, and we have committed to you. You may fall and stumble. We
are in a condition where we will not, but we love you even when you are on your
knees.)

Joni: Speaking of communications, are things well with Jon Paul, and when will
we expect him back? (Things are well, and he will be returning soon.)

Betty: We were talking earlier about where we will meet at the different task
meetings. Will you give us instructions next time, or should we go ahead and plan some.
(Your instructions will come next time. Your next meeting will be at the regular
place.)
Myra: And the one after that will be another eight-hour meeting, then? (Yes.) So
we should plan for that entire day? (Yes. That is what you agreed with us last time.)

Joni: I recently received a card from a person I’ve been in contact with before
that’s gone to work with a group something like this, like Hadiki, in Germany. When you
were talking this morning, it suddenly came to me that this was a similar group. Are you
connected with that group? (We are not nationals.) (Laughter.)
Myra: Do you speak German as well as you do English? (We speak whatever is
necessary.)

Jnana: Sheariam, could you recommend any specific exercises for breath control?
(The exercise in its enactment is less important that the preparation and intent
previous to the exercise. You may choose to breathe in and out at regular intervals,
holding the breath out in equal periods of time, and holding it in an equal period of
time. That cycle by pre-determination can be beneficial, if that is what you tell
yourself you are doing. Your primary thrust at this time is to learn not to hold your
breath when under tension, but to recognize tension and breathe deeply and
regularly every time tension is noted.)

Jenika: I have a simple question, and if you don’t answer it, I won’t be hurt. I have
45 gallons of wine that is not drinkable at this time. I continue to work with it, but I’m
surprised that such a large amount went bad. Well, it’s not bad yet, but became tart when
I didn’t add any acid. It was just the grapes themselves. I wondered, since I picked them
when I was very ill, I shouldn’t have pushed my body that much. Is that a correlation,
because I’ve noticed that the other wines, when I’m ill, do not come out, though nothing
I’ve added is wrong or nothing I’ve really done is wrong except my state of mind. I’m
wondering if this is the case. (This is a prime example of what we continue to say over
and over and over. What you think and how you feel gives the Quality to the
product. If you do not bless with love and joy and compassion, you cheat yourselves.
Now, with that quantity of wine, bless it with love and joy and compassion and tell it
that it is going to be the most excellent salad vinegar that ever was made.) (Hilarity)
So it’s too late for wine? (It was too late in the beginning.) (In wonderment) 45
gallons of salad vinegar! (Chortles.) (Which will make excellent pickled eggs, will be
an excellent product for some skin treatments, for some hair treatments. There is
much that this can be used for.) Could we use it in our soap? (Yes, indeed.)

Marlayna: We are on soap and we are going to work at soap today and soap
procedures. Can you give us any instruction or guidelines, (Today’s task is to become
familiar with the process. Do not worry about the quality of your product. Become
familiar with what is necessary in the way of tools and time and commitment and
preparation to produce a product. When you have best prepared yourselves, we will
give you the formula for Hadiki soap.)

Sheariam: And now it is time that we retired and let you get on with your Hadiki
day. We bless you all, and we will be with you in every moment at every step of the
way. Go in joy and great peace, and we will return to close your day with you in
meditation. So be it.

(Following a pot luck lunch, soap making, stapling the Cosmic Connection quarterly, and
cleaning up the kitchen, Gloria Ruth entranced as we said the AUM and did the
invocation.)
Meditation

Sheariam: Be at peace within yourselves. Gentle your thoughts. Relax your
bodies. Visualize with us a darkened sphere, a globe without light.
Then visualize yourself as a minute point of light that enters the atmosphere
of that dark globe. Feel the light of your being emanating as peace. Wherever that
light touches, it places joy. So as you are, in the presence of your being, you emit the
light of peace that promotes the force of joy.
Now, visualize as strongly as you can millions and millions and millions of
such points of light. The emanations of that light meet the emanations of the other
lights, and the globe begins to brighten, begins to pulse with a joy that is undeniable.
As each being, un-enlightened as he or she might be, encounters the force of that
joyousness, there can be no thought of other than peace. Thus that darkness is also
enlightened.
Feel at the center of your being the essence of serenity. Feel the sereneness
travel the beams of emanating light. The warmth of your love is communicated all
over the surface of your globe. The atmosphere is aglow with the joy that prohibits
animosity.
Feel the viable force of your joy. Glow from that center of warmth, that
serene “I AM”. Wherever your thoughts travel, they carry the contagion of joy. As
you touch the hearts of others, so it is returned to you, and you are warmed by the
love and joy that surrounds you.
Now, as you go your separate ways, wear the mantle of peace that is moved
by the force of your joy, and sustained by your center of serenity, so that you are in
all of yourself, and your balance cannot be disrupted.
So the thoughts of this balance of peace permeates all in your world. Your
heads of state respond in like kind. Peace becomes the mandate, and supersedes the
mandate of dominance. Let your first thought be, “Let there be peace”. And let your
last thought be, “I am peace”.
So you heal the wounds of your darkened globe, and you light up the corners
of ignorance. Your light reveals that which should not be, and thus peace shall
prevail.
Now, affirm with me, “Love is”. (Group repeats three times.) Now affirm with
me, “Joy is”. (Group repeats three times.) Now let us affirm, “Peace is”. (Group repeats
three times.)
So you have declared and so you are, and so it is. Go in peace my beloved.
