Session #119 – May 28, 1989
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Betty Welty, Jean Chisholm, Jnana Sivananda, Joni Schultz, Jon Paul,
Marlayna Brady, Myra Perala, Peter Valiton and Sidney Smither
Sheariam: A good morning to all of you. We would firstly address some
confusions in your minds, and give you some information to which you are not now
privy. My words last have been misinterpreted, and I would clarify, if you will. The
formal presentation on the wheel of Karma has been completed, but there is much
elaboration to be conveyed and understood. This will come through dialogue, but
dialogue in a different manner.
One of the conditions under which my communication with you in this
manner can occur has to do with the carbon body’s function of the channel. As we
link our consciousnesses, the psyche of the governing carbon body is left to function
somewhat on its own, and thereby does not do a sufficient piece of work. In order
for us to control the speech center and those other centers necessary for this kind of
communication, we must cheat certain functions of the body. The one that gets
cheated the most is the heart muscle. During this time of communication the
circulation of the entire body is diminished, and the heart muscle suffers the most.
That is why this type of mediumship has been diminished by us because of our
concerns for our channels. Other means of communication have been developed.
The time has come when we can no longer consistently and at frequent
intervals use this carbon body without destroying it. Unknown to the channel, the
heart muscle has again developed a weak spot, and we do not wish to impose our
will and cause further harm, even though the channel may be willing. Therefore,
deep trance channel sessions such as this direct communication with you will
become much less frequent and more on a spontaneous basis. We shall continue to
transmit through the channel at a different level of consciousness, and to that end
we have been training her to hear us with clarity, distinctly, so that she may pass on
that which she hears. In spite of her doubts, in spite of her questions, she is doing
well. She is a very clear channel, and we do intend to continue working with her, but
it must be in a different manner.
As stated, there is much elaboration to be given on the Wheel of Karma, and
we will begin that this morning by talking with you about what you can do to
further your own progress. Personal growth towards Specialization is a very narrow
pathway. It can only be traversed through self-initiated action, and the striving
must be that of the individual. We can monitor. We can advise. We can love, and we
can encourage, but we cannot do it. That is an individual’s responsibility.
Now all of the planet moves towards Specialization, some forms at a
spontaneous level. You, as self-aware creatures, have the option through individual
effort to take your species more rapidly along the pathway to Specialization. We
cannot tell you what that Specialization shall be, for it is something that is in
evolution. Your efforts greatly determine what that evolutionary condition will be.
Our efforts with the Wheel of Karma hereafter will be to assist you in your striving
individually. We will be discussing the quest for Higher-Self discovery.
Now, that is not “self-discovery”, hyphenated in your language. It is your
Higher Self, your quest to become acquainted with your own Higher Self, that is the
path of discovery which you should be pursuing if you are to continue in spiritual
growth and effectively lead the way into the New Age of Affection.
You will be doing this through “Generosity”, and we will discuss the
importance of that principle. As I speak of “principle” now, these are not the
Principles given with the Laws as Judith taught. We merely use your word to show
you that these are your “pry-bars”. These things, these “principles” that we shall be
giving you and teaching you are the way that you shall pry open that door to more
Self-Awareness, to unconditioned Thought, to those Wants that are important to the
foundation of the Specialization which you are developing.
Another one of the “principles” is Curiosity, and we promised we would talk
on Curiosity. Another of the “principles” we shall call Speculation. This is the
gambling, the risk-taking, that forging forth into an unknown, based on the
confidence that you can be successful in your quest.
Another “principle” is Determination. In many facets of your effort,
Determination plays a large part. You set the goals. You design your activity to
pursue those goals, and it is up to you to practice perseverance. All of these things
are part of Determination.
Then there is the “principle” of Generation, and only you are capable of
operating upon this “principle’, for it takes self-awareness to produce newly created
Thought, to generate newly devised Thought, which is required for Specialization.
The empowerment tools you will be using to operate upon these “principles” are
Visualization, Meditation and Affirmation, all things with which you are familiar.
Only you, as self-aware creatures are capable of these empowerments.
Now I would speak to you for a moment about Visualization. Because some
of you believe that you cannot visualize, in various modes of Thought, in various
techniques, you have been advised to perhaps provide yourself with a screen against
which you will see images in your mind. Some of you find this impossible to do and
therefore say, “I cannot visualize”.
The tool of Visualization is not necessarily enacted through that particular
device of visually seeing a mental image on the screen inside your head.
Visualization is actually a conceptualization. If you can feel, sense in any way, the
three-dimensional image of what you are attempting to visualize, that is sufficient to
turn the door knob, to unlock and allow the door to open. You do not need to be
graphically inclined. You do not have to draw yourself a two-dimensional picture on
some mental screen to be able to feel. To conceptualize a three-dimensional form is
sufficient to then go on and imagine a fourth and fifth dimension, which is in truth
where True Thought is entertained.
As you traverse this narrow pathway of self-aware spiritual growth and
utilize these “principles”, you will be teaching yourselves. We will merely be the
reflectors of the Universe for you. We will make ourselves available to answer
questions, but we will present less and less formalized dissertations. You are not
abandoned, and we would that you not discontinue your get-togethers on a regular
basis. Do be prepared for a different type of communication for the reasons cited.
Now we have delivered to the channel those necessary components for the
teaching of the quest for Specialization. These are not restricted to only members of
this group. We have presented them in such a manner that they can be used
advantageously by almost anyone who has the desire to be self-improving.
Now we will give the rest of this session to dialogue, to answer direct
questions from you. One further word is that Enid will not come today because I
have used up the force to deliver this. As time provides and strength and force are
available, the channel will be advised of certain things to do to be prepared to be the
channel for Enid, and your personalized direction from her shall continue. Now,
how may I serve you?
Marlayna: I believe you gave us five “principles”: Generosity, Curiosity, Speculation,
Determination and Generation. Is that right? (That is correct.)
Jnana: At our last meeting you specified that there was a great difference in our
brain power and using the resources of the Mental Body. Could you clarify the usage of
“brain power” as opposed to the usage of the resources of the Mental Body?
Sheariam: Indeed, yes. Each of you, as you wear a carbon body, also wear a
carbonized “brain”. You are given a brain comprised of tissue of varying kinds and
varying functions, and these are genetically provided through the carbon body’s
parentage. This carbon brain has certain limitations. Some of your carbon bodies
are trainable to lift extremely heavy weights, and some of your bodies are too fragile
for that kind of activity. So it is with the brain, but none of you have trained your
brains to exercise the force of which it is capable. You could lift many brain weights
and not come close to damaging what your fragile concept says is your brain power.
Now Mental Power is that power endowed through the Mental Realm, pre-
existent to your incarnation, and portions of which are yours individually. It’s as
though, in your planetary language, upon the incarnation decision, there is a
treasure claim staked in the Mental Body. As an incarnating entity, producing a
Personality, you contract with what we shall call the “powers-that-be” for a certain
portion of the Mental Body to be exclusively yours for the term of the incarnation.
Consequently, there are certain things that are inaccessible by anyone but
yourself. This is your individual power. There are certain portions of the Mental
Body which have been contracted out, so to speak, to the Human Species. There are
portions contracted to animal life, to plant life, to mineral life, to all forms which
Consciousness takes. There is a certain contractual portion of Mental Body which is
not accessible except by that species, and sub-species and sub-sub-species, and so on.
You as humans, participate in that contractual portion which gives you self-
awareness that comes from the Mental Body. Without that access you would not be
self-aware. You could not exercise the power of self-awareness. You could not say,
“I can”, “I do”, “I am”. That is not “brain power”. That is Mental Body Power.
“Brain power” is the manipulation of ligaments and muscles, the manipulation of
visual perception, of olfactory perception, of aural perception, and you use only a
minute portion of that “brain power”, because you block off the option to use that
power with your limited thinking processes, your Attitudes and Habit Patterns that
you have established. That limits your perception.
As you study and exercise the “principles” we teach, you will break down
those limiting walls. You will change those Attitudes. This is exactly what we have
given the channel. As you may witness her life, you will see her putting into practice
some of these “principles” that we have given. You will see some walls crumbling
rapidly and many changes coming to pass in this lifetime.
Mental Body Power is the only power which can bring change, consciously
with self-awareness and Determination. But it takes Speculation. You have to use
the Imagination. You have to formulate some potential probabilities, and then risk
the unknown to make those probabilities a manifest reality. Mental Power.
Joni: You were speaking a few minutes ago about the “three-dimensional
image” in visualization, and moving to a fourth and fifth dimension. Can you give us any
more information on that? (Can you visualize a pencil?) Yes. (What would you say
that pencil’s Consciousness is?) Very limited. (All right. Then what is the potential of
the pencil?) Much greater than when the pencil is lying unused. (Precisely. Utilization
is one face of Fourth Dimension. Potential is inert. For a reality to manifest, there
must be Utilization, and then the consciousness of the pencil becomes manifested
reality of its accomplishment in complying with what you expect of it.)
Joni: Yesterday a client came to me with the beginning of a migraine, and she
had to write a paper. She has not had this direct training, though I passed on a little bit to
her. We both invoked, and I worked very hard with her trying to bring her body into
harmony and help her reach the mental plane. She had this paper to write, and I said, “Go
home in this state and write the paper, and then look up the references.” She was being
stymied by the piles of books and references. I said to let it flow through. Write and then
get your establishment.
When I got through, I felt a great fullness in my head, which I have never felt
before after a massage. Then I came down from it, but can you tell me more about
helping a person get into this, or myself to reach this mental state?
***Sheariam: This is the avenue to real Thought. The thoughts that are recorded in
your libraries are no longer that thought which you must pursue. As you read and
integrate the concepts which have been placed upon printed page, you are
processing data. Only in that expansion of Consciousness, when you access the
Mental Body, and allow Knowledge to flow through you, can you participate in true
Creative Thought.
If you are to seek that Higher Self knowledge, you should not do it through
text book first, but seek that verification in text book after the fact. Your current
educational process has the cart before the horse, and consequently forward
thinkers, those who bring in new thoughts not yet documented, are regarded with
great question and fear. How can you have something new if it must be documented
first? It does not even make sense. Academia has long since lost its way.)
Myra: I have to say “thank you” a thousand times for your wonderful helps. The
insights you have brought to us are indescribable. I also want to thank you for the help
you’ve given me and my husband in developing our re-negotiated marriage contract. I
sense, though, that we still have some blocks. We meet each morning and discuss our
relationship and our goals. My husband has a hard time seeing what he really wants in
our relationship, so I haven’t said, “We’re going to re-negotiate now.” I’m trying to get
him to put out what he wants. He asked me to ask you to perhaps help us to find the
blocks that are still preventing us from developing that mature relationship which we
both want.
Sheariam: One of the main blocks is self honesty. You are still tied to some
conditional thinking which points fingers of guilt and shame, and consequently, you
bury those beneath self-congratulatory messages. You are making progress. You are
making honest effort. Do not let me imply otherwise. But the blocks of tradition are
your worst enemies. You have come many, many distances in your marriage. This
was part of the contract your Entities made before incarnation. You are doing what
you came to do. You are not re-negotiating the primary contract. You are re-
negotiating the manifesting contract: how you do what it is you agreed to do
together when you came. Each of you chose a certain genetic Quality, a certain
genetic family endowment in condition and culture and environment. Your husband
chose a much more difficult path to travel than did you. You are doing well, but do
look to your traditions, the customs, and the betrayal thoughts that have endowed
you with those blocks that you cannot seem to break up.
Myra: Is that what you call the “old tapes”? (The “old tapes” are the witnessing
to these, yes.) Yes, we feel those re-playings so often, but we are now realizing that
because they are in our awareness, we can at least challenge them when they happen.
(Indeed, yes. You are doing well. Do not be discouraged.) Thank you so very much.
Jon Paul: As a group we are helping one another move toward Specialization. You
have said that it is for us at this stage of our evolution to develop the use of the Mental
Body and begin to divorce ourselves from being the obedient slaves of the Desire Body.
We see addiction and enabling within our own group in quite a few instances. How can
we move from addiction to fear, coffee and wine, power and manipulation, food and
addiction to these karmic tapes, to enable us to develop into our own areas of
Specialization?
Sheariam: First of all, recognition, of course. When one does not recognize for
one’s self, one must be sufficiently self-confident, that one can accept the pointing
out of these behavior patterns and attitudes by another member of the group. As
you learn to trust and love, and have confidence in each other, you come to know
that a pointed finger is not destructive criticism, but a mirror. Unless you mirror to
each other those “blockages”, if you will, you cannot break down a wall that you do
not know is there.
The worst word in your language is “but”. You always take exception. When
you take exception, you do not see truth. You must take into consideration whatever
is pointed out. That does not mean that you must accept it in full, but if there were
not a wall there to be seen by another, it would not be pointed out. Exercise more
mirroring activities among yourselves, but always establish an environment of love
in which this occurs, that reassurance to each other that what you are doing is in no
way meant to inflict pain, but to be of assistance.
Remember that when you mirror something, you are contracting to help
break down the walls. You are not contracting to break it down in spite of the other
person’s resistance. You make the offer. When the offer is accepted, the two of you
work together. Only through objectivity can you see your own addictions, can you
see your own limiting walls, for when you are within the walls, you do not know
what lies on the other side of that wall. That knowledge must be conveyed to you.
Sometimes that knowledge is conveyed through the Mental Body, but only if you
have contracted to know about it in that manner.
Jon Paul: Does that mean that we can effect change through meditating on this as
effectively as being in a group? (It must be both. You cannot do everything alone.
One of the contracts, one of the clauses of the “incarnation contract” into this planet
is that you are part of a group, and group action must prevail. You must seek
individual accomplishment as a part of a group. You did not incarnate to sit in a
cave in some high mountain and meditate the years away. Your contract is “to be”
and “to do” through the valence of planetary physical activity which involves others
of your kind as well as other forms of Consciousness on this planet.)
Myra: I would like to mention a thought about the mirroring. As we see a person
who has a problem, and we want to assist, through love and working with that problem,
could it be that what we see is our own problem? (Of course. How can you understand
if it is not your problem, too? You must not go around pointing out walls and
limitations unless the person asks for it.)
Betty: I have some concerns about the group process and the way it is moving
now. Before, when the group got into problems, the suggestion for the way to solve them
was that each one of us must be very careful not to upset another, to change our behavior
totally so that no one else in the group would be offended by humor or comments, or
questions, or whatever. My question is: Could you comment on that? (That stipulation
was made to enable the deep trance channeling to continue. Everyone in the circle
must be in harmony for that period of time, because of the damage done to the
condition of the channel’s body by disharmony of thought. This does not prevail
when the group is together under other conditions. Part of the Hadiki Consciousness
is to help each other grow, and growth comes through conflict. When you have
conflict or reservations or disharmony with or about another member of the Hadiki
community, those should be addressed directly. If you will recall, in an earlier
lesson, you were advised that conflicts and disharmonies must be settled through
direct confrontation.)
Jean: Sheariam, I have been acting in the liaison role. In order to understand
more about the enlightenment of a person that is showing them the wall, I asked people to
give me words about what was standing in my way between reacting between the two of
us. When you explained this today, I was really very…. I want to say “thank you”
because that must have come from you. I have thought quite a bit about how I can best
serve as a liaison person, and how I can be most effective. My reaction to the ones who
did give me was that I didn’t become defensive. I didn’t feel shattered. I just had a feeling
of appreciation and love, and sometimes a little laughter at myself, because I recognize
that I had been aware of it, but not aware of it. Can you elaborate a little bit more I think
maybe I have accepted the role of being the liaison person, but we are all liaison persons
between each other. Can you tell me a little bit more about how to be an effective liaison
person?
Sheariam: Your liaison activity is limited to maintaining the harmony between
those members of the circle. Anything beyond that is a voluntary obligation which
you may or may not take upon yourself. In acting as such, your role is to get both
people involved in the conflict to recognize what their role in the conflict may be,
whether passive or active, and to get each person to state his or her expectations to
the other, and to let the other, then, either accept the responsibility to fulfill those
expectations or to set the limits on how much of the expectation is to be met. A
liaison person is to be the go-between in an establishment of a contractual
agreement as to how harmony can be maintained while in circle.
Joni: Several sessions back, I asked a question about my relationship, and when
I shared the answer with my husband, there was a part that he didn’t understand. Your
reply was that I was involved in a war, and that he was the enemy. Can you give me any
information that I might share with him which would clarify more of what you meant? I
found that I wasn’t able to define or describe it such that he could understand it. (In
order to answer your question sufficiently, we would have to reveal characteristics
of your partner, which it is not our purview to do in this circumstance. Without his
presence and without his knowledge, we cannot comment.) Thank you.
Jnana: Sheariam, could you clarify the relationship between the Law of Karma
and the Wheel of Karma? (The Law of Karma is the law of compensation. Whatever
bargain you make, you will be required to fulfill your part. You make bargains
unaware, and you do so with hidden agendas, of which you are usually not aware.
(Looking to Joni) One of the problems with your partner.
It is for you to become sufficiently sensitized and self-aware that every
bargain is entered with full knowledge of all your intents and purposes. It is for you,
with whatever entity you are making the bargain, to also make clear, and know that
the other entity understands, your agendas, your purposes and your intents.
The Wheel of Karma is a pattern, a process pattern which is inevitable. It
was created with the planet, and the life forms upon it.)
Jon Paul: Is there such a bargain struck among us in the group here? (Absolutely.)
We decided to come for our own evolution toward Specialization, to be in this group?
(That is not absolutely. But you did make a bargain. Each and every one of you
bargained with each and every other one. You bargained with the channel. You
bargained with us. We have attempted, in every way we know, to reach you with
what we established as our terms, our contribution to the bargain. We have tried to
express to you our expectancies, to fulfill the process just described to the liaison.
You have not been as honest with us, nor with each other. Until you become that
open-hearted, until you become that self-aware that you can be that honest and
open-hearted, the complete bargain cannot be had in full.)
I guess that’s the bottom line of what we want to get to. (Yes, and you have
much work to do before you get to that “bottom line”.) Today is a good beginning.
(Every day is a good beginning.)
Myra: I was wondering if you could comment on the relationship between being
sensitive to another’s need for privacy and your own need for it, and for secrecy, and then
compare that with the need for open-heartedness. (Your need for secrecy is based on
Desire Body Fear. The way in which you maintain that secrecy is in the Attitude and
Habit Pattern in the Emotional Body. As you travel that narrow road of spiritual
progress, and you use your brain power and Mental Body power, you will find less
and less need for secrecy. This does take many of the burdens from your back.)
And really, that’s getting rid of all fears. (Indeed, yes. And along with the
expulsion of Fear, goes its bride, Guilt.) So we really can’t be guilt-free until we’re
fear-free. (True.) Thank you.
Betty: Sheariam, getting back to your answer that I asked about not offending
others in the group and you spoke about it being important for the actual circle meetings,
I’m still dealing with some fear of subjugation, of different people not being able to
express themselves, to be open, and so forth at this occasion. Can you speak to that? (If
there is such subjugation, it is for the subjugated one to recognize he or she is being
or feeling subjugated, and express that feeling to the group and try to determine
why there is such feeling. That feeling is one’s own responsibility and has to do with
the limitations established in the Emotional Body’s Attitudes and Habit Patterns. It
may not, in truth, be a reality. It may be a reality that is re-negotiable. But truth
cannot be arrived at if there is not communication.)
Along with this, you mentioned that there is no leader, no supreme leadership
except the Absoluteness, the Supreme Being. As a result, we have shied away from
leadership in the group, letting one person be responsible for this, or take the leadership
in this area, and one person take the leadership in that area, or taking the leadership and
the responsibility thereof. Could you speak to that, please? (As previously mentioned,
each individual makes a certain contract as an incarnating personality along with
which comes certain talents. It is not a wise group that does not permit the talents of
each to be manifest and become integrated into group activity. It is also not wise of
the group to obligate or expect from someone that of which he is incapable. So it is
the group responsibility to determine which member is most suitable for which
function, to establish the most harmonious activity that is the most efficient.)
Is harmony and efficiency always the goal? (I do believe that there is a problem
here with the interpretation of the two words because they arouse certain emotional
responses determined by Attitude and Habit Pattern. Now, Harmony is that activity
in which there is agreement about what is being done at the moment. At this
moment, you are participating in a deep trance channel session, the requirements
for which have been set forth. To this end, each member must set aside any
personality conflicts in order to keep the forces in the circle in balance. That does
not mean that differences of opinion will not exist, but it does mean that the
atmosphere is maintained in which these differences of opinion can be expressed
and responded to, without personalizing feelings of offense.)
Myra: Does that mean, then, that supposing a project needs to be done, it would
be wise for one of us or the other to ask “Will you be in charge of organizing this and
help us get it sufficiently accomplished?” (Certainly. Leadership should be exercised
by the one who has the most talent for leadership in that particular activity.)
And when we sort of hold back and don’t do it, even though we might feel we
could do it well, we hold back because it was said that we shouldn’t be having any
leaders. Did we understand correctly (You did not. There should not be one dominant
force. Each of you has leadership talents, and those leadership talents need to be
exercised for the benefit of the group. You should offer. If there is a project in which
you feel you have expertise, you do not take the dominant stance, but you offer your
skills and your leadership. If it is not accepted by the group, then you must accept
that status within the group. But it is an unwise group that does not take advantage
of the skills and talents of the individual.)
Betty: I feel, even further than that, that it is wise to spread the leadership and let
those who have not had as much experience take the leadership in order to develop the
ability. (If they wish to do so. The yoke cannot be laid upon them. That is their
individual growth. But if one presents oneself and says, “I do not know how to do
this, but I want to learn,” then that individual must be given support,
encouragement and opportunity.)
There is another thing that I would like to ask about the group. We have been
making assumptions again, and I would like some clarification. We talk about Montana.
Some of us are assuming that this is a preliminary and that several will be going to
Montana as Gloria has been directed, and the thought has also occurred that perhaps this
is a personal pilgrimage to Montana, and in no way involves the group. Could you give
some clarification on that please? (Yes. The Montana idea is particular to the
incarnation of Gloria Ruth. “Pilgrimage” is a good word to describe that. When this
pilgrimage takes place, she may or may not have the company of one or more. It is
not part of this group, per se.)
Thank you. Then, essentially, most of us will be in this area, and if physical
disaster arrives, we will remove ourselves temporarily and come back, then, probably.
(That is a generality.) It sure is. Anything you could say on it would be appreciated.
(We cannot predict what your Consciousnesses will cause you to do, or the places
which you shall choose to be at any given time.)
Jnana: During some of my meditation periods, I get the feeling that possibly
some other entity might be manipulating my body, as in channeling. Could you clarify
that? (We do not rush in where angels fear to tread. That is an individual
development that you must work upon yourself. We can only love and support you.)
OK.
Jean: I’ve become aware of things happening in my life, getting direction. Is this really
happening? (Of course, it is.) It seems a different level. (I should hope so.) (Laughter.)
I just have to continue to ask what these things mean, then. (It is not always necessary
to know what things mean, but to know that things are.)
Then you’re saying that this is really to make me aware that these forces do exist.
(So that you can, then, command them.) I see. It’s certainly being effective.
Betty: One more question about the group. Several of us picked up what we felt
was a feeling of melancholy, from you last week, Sheariam, and we felt it also. Can you
give us any information about that? What was happening? Can you give us any help?
(Those of us who still retain subtle bodies of your nature, do still have feelings and
empathies with your feelings. It is a melancholic thought that our intense time
together is drawing to a close. I receive much gratification in being in your presence
in this manner, directly, to address you directly and be directly addressed by you.
But we have worn the channel’s body to the extent that we can no longer take
advantage, and this saddens us, too, for we would do no harm to our channel. But it
is a matter of reality at this time of this evolution of the carbon body that this kind
of consequence occurs. We have some healing to do. We are not abandoning you.
We must withdraw to a certain distance. We ask that you understand and accept
that, because of the conditions. But it does sadden us.)
Myra: It saddens us, too. We love you so much. Your patience and your
helpfulness have been wonderful. (You are no less loved because we are not as
intensely present. But in your regular gatherings, we shall be there, and we will
speak as often as we dare, and always, through the channel, we will be giving you
help and assistance, advice, clarification. We will continue to work with you.
Jean: Am I understanding, then, that Gloria will continue to offer us help and
leadership, but it will be in a different form? (Yes.)
Betty: Can you tell us how we should plan to prepare for the meetings? How
would the meetings be? Should we continue to meet regularly on the Sunday mornings,
and what should we anticipate? Should we as members have things prepared? (It would
behoove you to plan your sessions together as study sessions, and as questions arise
and opportunitys granted, and conditions are right, I shall answer directly. When
conditions are not appropriate, I shall answer indirectly, by giving the answers to
Gloria, who can then pass them to you.)
Marlayna: Does this change in transmission of information mean that Gloria
would be conscious and aware during these questions? (Yes. It is the deep trance and
our control of the body functions which caused damage to the body.)
Do you feel that this would be a change in group dynamics? Does it place Gloria
Ruth in more of a leadership role? (Only if that is the way the group dynamic
operates. It is not our intention.)
Joni: We may, then, still bring questions to ask of you? (Indeed, yes.) Is it
helpful that we convey these questions to Gloria Ruth in advance so that you might relay
this information through her? (Yes. We are in moment by moment contact with her.)
Jean: The thought keeps coming to me that I would like to offer my house for an
alternate place for meeting, for study on the same schedule that we have been meeting,
when that becomes appropriate. Is that an appropriate thing to do? (Of course. You will
still have your “away” meetings and your “here” meetings.)
Myra: And we have our regular study groups in between? (Yes, do not abandon
them.)
Jean: Should I offer my house for another time of meeting? I’m willing to.
(Your schedules are already very crowded for the summer. As you notice, your
group grows smaller as there is more and more demand for your attentions
elsewhere. This loosening of the ties reduces the support factor of the body. This is
why the constructed circle was required to advise presence or absence, so that we
could work with the Consciousness of the channel. You, yourself, must most
certainly feel the loosening of these ties, and your group will not continue to be
together for much longer. So take advantage, every instance that you can, to be
together, for as long as you can.
Betty: Can you tell us why we will no longer be meeting together? Will it be a
change? (We have been teaching of the changes for a long time. Each of you has your
own destiny to pursue, and those are not convergent.)
Jean: Was the purpose of this group for our own individual growth, or was it to
spread out this information? (It was both. We told you many, many times ago that we
would reward you with our individual attention for your participation in the overall
goal. Your personal growth is that reward.)
Then our duty now is to spread it. (Yes, to give it permanency. But remember,
you must not evangelize. You must not apostatize. You must witness by your lives,
by your own growth. By your own radiance you tell the story.)
Peter: I want to thank you very much for last week’s review of the energy
exercise. I read the things, but when I hear it from your voice, I put it together. I can see
the ball of energy. When I just read it, I have difficulty. (That is because there is a
diffusion of energy. To see with the eyes and to deal with that perception and then
convert it into action requires more Consciousness, more Volition, than to sit
passively and listen and act upon that listening.)
I’m also assuming that as Gloria becomes less of a channel, that it is our privilege,
presumably, to tune into your realms ourselves, individually. (One has nothing to do
with the other. Gloria does not become less of a channel simply because we do not
come through in deep trance to the detriment of her carbon body. You all have the
same privilege of communication with us and access to the Mental Body as does
she.)
And now it is that time we must withdraw. There is too much pressure in the
chest, and we must give the carbon body back to the psyche.) Thank you.
