Session #122 – July 23, 1989
Present: Betty Welty, Edith Durfey, Jean Chisholm, Jeneeka, Jnana Sivananda,
Joni Schultz, Myra Perala, Peter Valiton, Sidney Smither and Vivian Rice
Gloria: Since I’m not relying on the teachers any more, I have to write down
my agenda.
Jenika: It’s harder isn’t it?
Gloria: It’s harder, but I don’t spend as many hours in anxiety wondering if
we’re going to make it this time. We have a number of things here. I have a letter
from Owen, typically Owen, and some questions that Jnana gave me over the phone.
Some time ago I provided Peter with a Gaelic Manuscript, and now I have them for
the rest of you if you want them.
In his letter Owen says: “I would greatly appreciate some enlightenment
from the teachers about the use of their predictions. (In his work as a research
meteorologist, Owen was involved in both the making and the application of weather
forecasts. Usability of forecasts was dependent on their accuracy. They had to be
definitely more accurate than a chance guess, and not misleading. It was found that the
forecaster’s certainty that an expected general condition would occur could be expressed
separately. In addition, the probability of certain weather events being produced by the
expected general condition could be determined from past performance. Given this
indication of certainty, the forecast user could determine how much of his own judgment
he needed to use in applying the forecast, what dependency on local indications, how
often to ask for forecast updates, and what worst conditions he might need to have
contingency plans for.)
“It seems to me that we may not be using the teachers’ predictions as we
should, possibly because we don’t understand the basis on which they are made, or
how they are intended to be used.
“We naturally expect that a prediction is an advanced notice of something
that will occur, and we take action accordingly: convert to silver; locate emergency
assembly points above 2500 feet; bury supplies there; be prepared to leave home for
ten days. The actions indicated involve other family members who want to know,
naturally, what is the basis for these predictions. After some given deadlines pass
and nothing happens, the reliability of these predictions naturally is questioned.
This in turn raises the reliability of other information given by the teachers that we
attempt to share. These are issues with our sons and friends.
“I would like to know how we are to use their predictions and the basis for
them. I don’t doubt that at some level some entities are actually able to see what will
happen, assuming that past, present, and future exist concurrently. Apparently
there were accurate prophesies in the Old Testament. But where are the teachers in
this? I am aware that the teachers’ specialty is in the nature of our existence, not in
prophecy or fortune telling.
`”Since we have made some considerable adjustments and preparations
based on the extremely serious conditions predicted, it would seem that we should
know a bit more about the basis of these predictions and their intended use. Are
they used as a tool to get us moving so that the predicted events won’t occur? Are
they merely indications of the worst possible conditions in the spectrum of
possibilities? Is there any actual ‘view’ of the future in them? Are they predicting
conditions and events that will occur at some place and time, but these factors are
uncertain?
“Another request possibly related to the matter of prediction: I would
appreciate an explanation of the system that causes an event like the uprising and its
suppression in China to affect earthquakes and tsunamis in other parts of the
world.”
Like Owen, like any of you, I want to know it all, yesterday. (Again from the
letter:)
“Everything in God’s manifestation is quite orderly, once we understand the
system’s operation. I trust that Sheariam can give you the short versions to
enlighten my puzzlements.”
Does anybody want to make any responses to that before I make my
comments?
Peter: Once the teachings are put into practice, and you feel the energy, there
should be no doubt as to the validity of the teachings. I know the teachings are for real,
period.
Sidney: You are a “feeling” person, and Owen is a “cerebral” person.
Myra: He has a lot of family that are bugging at him.
Jnana: My understanding of the predictions is that they are just snapshots of the
probabilities at a given moment, and probabilities change with every thought of mankind
in the world. Consequently, even though there have been lots of thoughts that tend toward
certain “calamities”, that can all be radically changed by peaceful thoughts and helping
Mother Nature as opposed to hindering.
Sidney: The predictions serve people in different ways. One person might
suddenly get into a very fearful survival mode, while another person might spend some
time each day invoking for peace and blessing the earth and things of that nature. So
everybody will react to it in a different way. It is a motivating force, but then again, like
many things that the teachers say, a lot of it goes over some people’s heads or they ignore
it. The fact that an individual has chosen to focus on that is just a statement of their own
beingness.
Jnana: They have, however, said that the pendulum has already swung. I guess
that really doesn’t mean that some finger can’t come in and stop the pendulum.
Peter: It is my understanding that the teachers have said, “This is the worst-case
scenario, but you have the choice to change it.” I go over and over the readings, and I
keep getting that message. These are valid predictions under certain conditions, but we
have the choice to change them. Those predictions don’t worry me at all.
Gloria: OK. Let me give you some explanation about this change, how events
actually change, and what the teachers have given me insofar as how they make
these predictions. I’m going to use the same analogy that Owen used as we are
attempting to answer his question.
Now a weather forecaster examines what’s going on in the atmosphere,
where the low pressure systems are, where the high pressure systems are, where the
largest concentration may be of some chaotic force as opposed to some softer, more
predictable force. Thus they can predict the pathway of a hurricane, for instance.
Everybody can get ready for that hurricane to come ashore in a certain place. And
over night, the hurricane can lose its force. It can change its direction, and hit
someone totally unprepared, or it can follow through and do as it’s predicted. What
changes that? Why does it change? So there are certain things that are
unpredictable.
We are “Self Conscious”. This is one of the first and primary tenets of the
teachings. We human beings are Self Conscious. Therefore we have a greater ratio
of Volition to Consciousness. That means that we have the power to do more, based
on our understanding, than any other life form on this planet. We do not seem to
understand how powerful our thought processes are, probably because we don’t
understand the nature of Thought. This is what the teachers have been tying to give
us in the Karmic Wheel to show us that our thinking processes are not Thought. It’s
a process. Just like a computer processes data. The computer cannot come up with
an original Thought, except that it can take the data it already has and put it
together in a new configuration which may appear to be original.
But human beings, because we are Self Conscious have the power to expand
our Subtle Bodies and access information in the Mental Realm that is put there by
others that we have not had input prior. So it becomes “inspired”, leaving out the
condition of glorification or spirituality or anything. We all have moments of
inspiration, moments when the light bulb goes on. That’s not processing the same
data that we’ve been using all along in a different way. Sometimes it is. Sometimes
we develop a new perspective we based on what we already know. But lots of times
things come in and “Wow! I didn’t know that before.”
You’ve had a Thought. That’s what Thought is. We are the only forms alive
on this planet that can do that. What we don’t understand is that our continual data
processing puts into the Mental Realm those forces that create, in the terms of a
weather forecaster, “high pressure systems and low pressure systems and storm
fronts”, and the manifestation of those things as they come together.
Let’s talk about concentrations of population. We have a very large
concentration of population in certain areas of the world. Japan’s island has an
extremely highly dense population factor. China is more spread out. Alaska is very
spread out. But there are times when, because there is a “Tension” building due to
dense population and all of the thought processing that’s going on in that highly
concentrated group function in the highly populated area, there is, as the teachers
told us when they described the Divine Germ Cell, where Tension builds, there
reaches a point where the tension has to be dispersed, and a spark is emitted. Okay,
that’s the creative function. That’s the way everything came into being.
If I understand the teachers correctly, they were saying that the high
concentration of tension that was building in Japan would have a ricochet effect on
Alaska, which could triangulate a tsunami that would hit the northwest of the
United States. That, to me, seems perfectly reasonable.
Now, what happened in China? Huge numbers of people focused their
attention on Tiananmen Square. There were bodies there. There were people by the
thousands, and all of China was watching it. Ultimately all of the world was
watching it. Look at the Tension that was built there that erupted.
Okay, given that there was “quantum”. Remember “quantum”? We were
told that we were given a “quantum of energy”. We represent a certain block of
energy, our Rod from which all else for us emanates. Everything that we know is
also in the “quantum” context, so that the earth, our planet, our home, has a
“quantum” of, what you might say, “tensile” strength. When the tension builds up
on the surface, it has to then draw from elsewhere and pull it in. What happens
when you take a cup of water out of the microwave and put a spoon in it? If you’ve
read your microwave instructions, you are warned about the water surface tension
that can explode in your face if you put a spoon in the water incorrectly. Have you
not read your instructions? (Apparently not.) Oh, boy. There is a given quantity of
tension and if it is not released in a certain way, certain things can be predictable.
But when that is drawn off, when it changes, if you draw the strength out of this,
this will no longer have that strength.
If the strength is pulled out of a low-pressure system, you’re not going to
have rain. They may be predicting rain for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and
the pressure is drawn off on Tuesday, and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are
simply overcast. Did that make the prediction wrong? Or the forecast wrong? Does
that mean that the person who predicted that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
would be rain was wrong in his assumptions? No. He took what he understood to be
the factors governing and made a prediction based on that.
Okay. The teachers tell me that they not only see our planet, they see the
whole solar system. So their predictions are based on great expanses beyond our
concept. We look at weather forecast for our little local area. How focalized is
Portland to someone who can see the whole solar system? That’s like asking a
weather forecaster to say, “It is going to rain at 54th and 49th St.” Well, yes, if it’s
going to rain in Portland, it’s probably going to rain right here at 54th and 49th. You
see. So we’re looking at the predictions of the teachers as highly focalized right
down here where we are. We’re just minute specks of dust in the overall prediction
process or energy structure. So that’s how the Tiananmen Square eruption can
draw the strength off of what was building in Japan.
Now we have another whole game, new rules that we have to look at. But the
teachers say that we are not yet out from under, because the pressure was not totally
drawn off from Japan. There was a release. It’s like a boil that is festering in your
flesh. You can lance it and drain it, but that doesn’t mean that the boil is not going
to close up and re-fester and build up pressure again. The situation in Japan is a
boil on the surface of the earth.
Jenika: Is it the tension in the consciousness of the people? (Yes. It’s the density.
It’s the having to live in such a very small amount of geographical area with the
pressures that are being put on such a small nation to be a world power. Some of
that is cultural. They’ve lost “face” in WW II and they have never gotten over it.
Don’t think for a minute that they are regarding us as their bosom buddies. They’re
not. The first opportunity they have to get their “face” back, they will. Now that’s
cultural. I’m not saying that everybody is thinking at the top of their mind about
that. It’s cultural. It’s imbedded in their Desire Bodies. Centuries and centuries of
Japanese culture has said, “Save face.” You’re not going to get rid of that in four
decades. It’s not possible.
Myra: Their culture has taken a tremendous change, too, because they have
become so westernized. (Exactly. So there is a changing culture that’s having to
adapt very rapidly after hundreds of years. Japan is a very old nation, and that
culture has built and built and built over hundreds of generations. Here we’re
saying, in two generations, in three generations, they’re going to change. Nothing is
going to be stressful about it?)
Betty: When you look at it, they have the culture that is saving “face”, and then
we’re adding our western culture where you’re supposed to be top dog. (That’s right.)
Sidney: Yes, the businessmen feel pressure. There’s tremendous pressure on the
students. A lot of student suicides. They fail their entrance exams and things like that.
(There is such a drive in that culture to achieve, and now they are becoming
westernized, and what’s western culture all about but competition? So you can
understand the pressures that are building there.)
If our Mind, our little tiny portion, whatever that portion may be, that we
have been endowed with…. Remember, the teachers told us that the Realm of Mind
bestows Life. Maybe you should go back and read it. What we are has been
bestowed to us. We are the manifestation of bestowal of Mind. So we have what is
given to us to work with.
Based on that parameter of bestowal, we make certain choices. We have
chosen to live in the United States. We have chosen to be white. We have chosen our
genetic family so that we have a certain genetic code to operate with and through,
and to manifest. But that’s true of everybody, and what is the population of the
world right now?)
Peter: Close to five billion.
Gloria: Yeah. So we fifteen people in a very highly focalized area are saying,
“Well, this is just for us?” That’s like the weather forecaster saying that it’s only
going to rain in the neighbor’s yard and no place else. Only Gloria has to take an
umbrella out of the house.
OK. About using predictions. If the weatherman said that it’s going to rain
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, don’t you on Wednesday, presumably, arm
yourself with a raincoat and an umbrella if you’re going to be out walking in the
rain. Do you get terribly distressed if that’s not needed. Don’t you just throw your
coat over your arm and take your umbrella home? And you say, “Well, gee, if it
didn’t rain today, maybe it won’t rain tomorrow. Shall I take the chance? OK. I’ll
take the chance.” And so I don’t wear a rain coat and I don’t carry an umbrella,
and I’m carrying papers. I trot off to work on Thursday, and I come out of the
building Thursday night, and it’s one deadly downpour. What do I do with my
papers? I’m ill prepared to handle what the prediction was.
All the teachers are saying is that this is the probability, and some
probabilities are more sure than others because they are closer. Arm yourselves. Be
prepared. But don’t focus on it. Do you allow the prediction for rain on Wednesday
to totally color your day? “Oh my God. It’s going to rain. I’m going to stay in bed
today.”
If we allowed that kind of forecasting to prevent us from doing what we want
to do, in the Northwest there are a lot of things we wouldn’t do, because we can
count more on having a rain than we can count on not having a rain. The teachers
are saying, “You can count more on calamity than not calamity. But that doesn’t
mean you can’t keep yourself safe from calamity.” Their very purpose in giving us
this information is so we can be prepared. The more prepared you are, the less you
are going to have to use your preparations, because while you are processing this
preparedness, you’re also saying, “No, I don’t want this to happen. I want things to
be peaceful. I want things to be well. I want things to go right.”
Now, if we want the predictions to happen, we can make them happen. We
can concentrate our thought and we can say, “Let’s bring it in.” Do we want to do
that? Is that why the teachers are giving us this information? So we can have
phenomena, so that we can experience the worst there is? Not for me. I don’t want
that. What the weather forecasters have never ever understood is that a group of
people like this could keep the rain away from here forever. We could create a
drought. We don’t want that either. Okay? What we want is a balance. We want
human beings to be able to manifest their individuality. Like one of you said, “We
all respond to these things in a different way.”
Now, I believe the predictions. I’m ready to leave at a moment’s notice. But I
don’t go count my candles every day. I don’t look to see that my box is sitting there
where I can throw it in the car when the tsunami is on its way. I never give it a
thought, day in and day out. But I know I’m ready. The teachers have prepared me,
so I don’t have to give my attention to that. I can give my attention to something
else. It’s just like the weather forecaster said it’s going to rain. I could take my
umbrella with me, and I don’t have to worry whether it’s raining or not. I can focus
on something else.
Myra: Do you talk to your family about the predictions? (No. They all think I’m
crazy anyway.)
Jnana: You don’t talk to them about the rain either, do you? (No. I don’t. The
teachers have said, “Don’t evangelize. Don’t try to proselytize. Don’t try to convince
anyone else.” Now, I understand that Owen has a special problem, but on the other
hand, we have to accept the fact that Owen capitulated in one area. Of course, that’s
going to bring pressure to bear. (Ed. Note: Presuming to speak for his children:) “If
you’re that uncertain, Dad, then let’s make you more uncertain. Let’s win you over
to our side.” And what’s “our side”? Believing in the Second coming? It’s been
predicted for over 2,000 years that it’s going to happen tonight. Where do they
stand on that?)
Betty: It was really interesting in our family, because I shared with Daughter and
her friend. They had a lot of the psychic material and everything. I’m sure that the
teachers said there is a possibility of this. Get some water. Just be prepared, you know.
They agreed, and put their phone number on my phone list. Then I talked to Son because
geologists etc. say, there might be this, without my saying more. But it was hard for me
to save face when we had family dinner for Mother, and Daughter’s friend said
something about Daughter Vaunda’s stored water and grain prepared to move at a
moment’s notice. Then Son wanted to know what, where and why she did this, all
looking at me. Son had previously teased me about the world-wide earthquakes predicted
by Jean Dixon. This really put me in a weird light. (Sure it does. My sister helped me
store my water. My sister helped me prepare all these things for myself, but she
hasn’t prepared for herself.)
It was interesting, too, after Sidney got us started, there was that drive to get
things together and organized. When I got my survival stuff together, then I just put it
away, and that was it. (That’s good. That was all we were supposed to do. )
And it was strange, because before then there was that drive, drive, drive. (That’s
all right. Those of us that have tents can share them. We prepare for each other.
That’s what Hadiki is all about. But I would rather not experience the worst
scenario. Saving face doesn’t mean anything to me. I don’t care what other people
think. All I care about is what happens to me, and what I have done in my own
conscience.)
When I was getting survival gear together, it wasn’t so much for me, but I always
put in a little extra for the grandchildren. (That’s fine. My preparations include my
mother, and she doesn’t believe any of this. The teachers have said over and over
and over again what Peter started out by saying “You’ve got to take the teachings
on their own merits.” There are no bona fides here. No matter what they tell you
about themselves, you have no way of proving it. The only proof is in the eating of
the pudding. If it works for you, what do you care where it comes from? If the dog
out here barks three times, and every time it rains, then to me the dog is a weather
forecaster. He doesn’t have to go to college, and be able to understand high and low
pressure systems, etc. What works is what’s important.)
I have been unsuccessful in controlling the weather on the farm. (Working on a
large area by yourself has a lot to do with it.) I have discovered that there have been
days when driving home for lunch, I have passed in and out of two rain storms in that
five mile trip. (Yes, It can be highly focalized, but can the weather forecaster predict
that?) (Note from Owen: Yes. This is called “showers” and is characteristic of unstable
cool moist air. Of course, the showers move and most have a life of less than one hour.
They represent cells of rising air and are separated by clear areas of descending air.)
It’s amazing to me because that’s all flat land. (It’s because we do not
understand the currents. Now this is something else the teachers have given me. We
understand currents of air that move high and low pressure systems around. We
understand ocean currents that bring warm and cold waters. We understand those
currents exist. What we don’t understand is the “electromagnetic field current”.
This has to do with our subtle bodies. Now the Chinese have been using this concept
for centuries. It’s called “chi” force.) (Pronounced “chee” and sometimes spelled
differently.)
Jean: I was feeling quite ill last week. Whereas my past training would have
taken me to a physician for a pill, instead I went to Dr. Scott Rogers who treated me by
stimulating my meridians and using visualization to calm the causative emotional
problem. The next day I felt amazingly better. It’s still hard for me to accept this
treatment and result, because it’s so far from my earlier training. Of course, had this been
my original training, I would have difficulty accepting a pill. The next day I found that I
controlled myself better though I didn’t remain calm during a confrontation following a
car mishap in a parking lot. (I don’t think anyone in this group can look at him or
herself right now, and then look at him or herself before the group and say that you
don’t have greater understanding of yourself and your composition. Even though
you may be really new, or you may be long timers, I don’t think we’re ever going to
reach a point in this life time where we no longer can change. I think that the
process of learning and growing and becoming is just that: a process. You don’t
reach the end of it. That’s one of the Branches of The River of Life: Repeated
Process. We repeat the same process until we improve on it or change it. I think
that what the teachers are giving us here in the predictions is showing us that we can
keep on repeating the same process and come to disaster, or we can change it and
improve it and alleviate the suffering. I don’t believe that suffering is the way. Just
because we live under the Law of Dominance does not mean we have to suffer to be
“saved”!)
Jean: Friday I wanted to shop for new clothes, and I wanted someone with me. I
thought of several including Vivian, but hesitated to put demands on another’s time. But
soon Vivian called about going out to Jon Paul’s. Instead, she went shopping with me and
was a great help and joy. I no longer consider this just a coincidence. It was subliminal
communication. (You see, the minute you become Volitional about those things, you
raise the level of Tension. The higher the level of Tension, the less control you have
over it. Relaxed concentration is the clue.)
Myra: I had an illustration of that on Friday, too. I took some kids to Oaks Park
for a picnic. The weather was cool and overcast. We were shivering, and I said, “Come
on clouds, will you please move aside? We need some sunshine.” And suddenly the
clouds left, and we had brilliant sun. Maybe I really did do it. (Yes. You see you are so
programmed to believe that you have no power. You see, you can’t be controlled by
politics or economics or anything else if you believe you have the power. When you
begin to believe in your own power is when you begin to accomplish things. That’s
how the major churches and the major political bodies have managed to keep things
under their control. They claimed the power. I think that world wide we are
beginning to see they are no more powerful than we are. The people, the individual
is where the power lies. When you begin to use your own power, then you create
your space and your environment, and you have what you want. Until you claim
your own power, somebody else is going to use it.
That’s what I was talking about: capitulation. You can give away your
power. Then you no longer maintain your own space, and you have to fight for
every inch, because once you start giving your space, it’s taken, and it’s taken and
it’s taken, and nothing is left for you. Nobody wants you to have your space. You
have to make your space. From the moment you enter this Law of Dominance in this
body you begin to make your space one way or another. It’s up to you to make it
and maintain it. It’s not given to you.)
Betty: This is not a “yah, but”. (Laughter) A lot of my experience has been that
as I claimed my space, the outside environment comes down harder. (Oh, you bet!) But
the experience has been that I can change the inside environment into how I react to it.
That’s the space that I have been able to create. (Congratulations. That’s wonderful.”
When I declared that I did not want my mother to come up from Arizona,
everything changed. Everybody that had said before she should not, flip-flopped totally
from “stay in Arizona” the year before to “come on up”. They all reacted differently.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing the wrong thing: being so bull-headed. But I’m
scheduling where I am, and the Universe conspired to keep me even more scheduled.
Once in a while I would give in, but I find more and more that I have to relinquish power
and control over things that I consider almost my space, or definitely shared space.
(You’ve got to start at the center and work outward with this control of Attitude
and Response. The more you can control the gut level, that immediate response of
sense of loss of power, sense of inadequacy, sense of being wrong, the old guilt and
the fear, and all that, the more you can remain calm and not allow expression or
manifestation of that, the more it begins to work its way out.)
I found my biggest frustration of the last two weeks is that if I give my word, I do
my very, very best to keep it. I have been dependent on others to do that, other
postmasters and other people who work in the Postal Service. Essentially, I felt that they
reneged on their commitment to me, and I got into a real space of depression on that.
(There are two things that come in here. When you made a choice to get into the
Postal System, there was a time when you could have decided not to. You made a
positive choice. Second, the Postal System itself is a building pot boiler everywhere.
It’s not just Gervais. It’s nation-wide, probably world-wide.)
Based purely on dominance. (Absolutely. Some people are giving in to it by
committing suicide, by becoming violent, by all the stress related activity.)
There was even a TV program on it. (I think what you did was to choose a
challenge to imperatively require you to make your space and maintain it in
equilibrium without giving in to all these violent reactions that other people are
giving in to under this stressful condition. That includes maintaining your health,
not just your mental and emotional health which your physical health depends on,
but to balance all of the factors.)
I’m working on it. (I know you are.)
Jenika: This thing about control is so important. That’s what I’m working on in
my counseling sessions. I certainly should have heard about my case by now and got my
money. It’s illogical for the decision in my case to take so long. But I have to take
medication for the burn in my esophagus. It’s not true that I really pushed it. (There is
still panic there because “Am I going to make my house payment?”, “Am I going to
have enough food?”, “Am I going to keep Serene in college?”, “Am I going to have
gas in my car?”)
I’ve relinquished through Haniel. (How about Tzaphkiel to bring some inner
balance. It’s not all relinquishment. Don’t get caught up in this idea of total
relinquishment. That can be a trap. Use all of them. Sandalphon to reveal to you
some knowledge, open some doors. As doors close you get panic stricken. Like we
were just talking about. “Am I going to be able to make the house payments? Am I
going to be able to meet my obligations?” If doors are closing, then invoke
Sandalphon to open others, or to help you see where the doors are opening, to reveal
to you what you need to know. Use Tzaphkiel for inner balance and to understand
what it is you know. We know a lot of things that we don’t understand. So it’s not
just Haniel. “I’m going to relinquish it and then it won’t hurt any more.” No, that
doesn’t work. You’re setting up a trap.)
Enlarge on that. (All right. If you get focused into any one thing, that’s a trap.
We’ve been given a balance. You can invoke Khamael from here to eternity, and
that’s not going to resolve what you came under the Law of Dominance to do. Only
the other seven are going to help you deal with the Law of Dominance. The “I Am”
and the “I Will”, are your connection to the “power source”. If you don’t invoke “I
Am” and “I Will”, then you’re living under the seven laws without any power. You
see, the “I Am” and the “I Will” usage is claiming your space, claiming your
authority, claiming your power, that which has been bestowed upon you and is
yours. But if you ignore it, it’s like expecting the light to come on and not plugging it
into the power source.
Myra: Would it be beneficial to just use those two in an emergency? (In a
moment of emergency, yes, those two, but when you are Volitionally attempting to
claim your space, occupy your space and make it the best that you want it to be, you
need all nine of them. So you can say, “I relinquish, I relinquish, I relinquish,” but
your are focusing and focusing and focusing, you’re letting everything else go away.)
So you do recommend starting every day with all nine. (Oh yes, absolutely. And
in the middle of the day and at the end of the day. It’s easy to invoke even while
you’re doing other things.)
Betty: I was counseling with Sidney, and he suggested invoking all nine. I
reported that I had been doing that, and I’ve backed off because it seems that somewhere
they told us that may be more than we can handle. It seemed that the more I was invoking
all night, the Universe was just coming down on me, and I backed off. I select just three
or four now.
Gloria: Well, all of us have our own level of tolerance. Some of us can
withstand more dominance than others. Some of us have the power or capability of
using more power than others have. It all has to do with our basic reincarnational
makeup. You have to find what is best for you, but you shouldn’t zero in on one of
the nine to the exclusion of others. Once a day to invoke all nine is very beneficial
for anybody no matter how weak your power system may be, or how poorly you fill
your space, or how inadequate you may feel, or how ill-informed you are. That’s not
going to call the Universe down on you. If anything, it’s going to bring balance, but
it doesn’t mean that you should invoke all nine all the time because your focus
changes. There are times when you need to deposit money in the bank, and there are
times when you have to withdraw some money from the bank. So you have to use
some judgment.
Edith: So you’re not that structured. (No, life is a process. Life is a flowing
thing. Remember that Michael means the “river bed that gives the shape to the
water”. We are shaping life as life flows through us. Life is flowing through us and
animating us, but we are also giving it shape, like the river bank does. That’s the
meaning of Michael.
Now we can be very laid back about that. We can be like a delta where the
water just spreads out when it flows at full flood. Or, we can be like the gorge with
very rigid walls, and that River of Life is only going to go so far. It erodes. Life will
wear away those strictures and those rigidities. The more rigid you are, the more the
water is going to erode those rigidities until you have to face the fact that Life is
animating you. You are not living Life, Life is living you. You get channeling one
way or another.)
Betty: The thought occurred to me about what we used about Sidney. (Sid grants
permission for Betty to proceed.) Like your delta, Sidney can flow and flow and take
things pretty well until something like an ex-wife appears, and then he blows. (What
happens when water is flowing along and nothing is in its way? The surface is very
smooth, sparkling and pretty. Then in the path of the water there is a big rock.
What happens? It rushes up against it, and it sprays because of the force of the
water. There is a tension there. As long as everything is going just great, there isn’t
that much tension. Then somebody says, “But, yah but.” Attention! Whoa! That’s
the way it is when an unexpected bill comes in, or someone says, “I reject you” in
some way. A lot of that is very subtle. We don’t understand the subtle
manifestations we are dealing with, because we still, with all of the seven or eight
years of study, do not live in our subtle bodies consciously.)
Jean: So much of what you said I experienced on the 60th reunion yesterday. Out
of our small class, 36 came. All of them were over 78. I was astounded at how many
things people recalled about when I had been with them. Things I had forgotten. One
person I didn’t even remember. They were all joyous moments. One fellow came up to
me and asked if I recognized a picture in the annual. I immediately did. “Howard
Hughes”, and he said, “Well, that’s me.” Although I hadn’t seen him in fifty years, the
old feeling came right back. Other happy experiences were re-lived, some of events that
were important, though we didn’t know it at the time.
Gloria: That’s right. We don’t know about the future. Let’s set up the
scenario that the tsunami is coming off shore, and we’ve got six hours. We go
wherever it is we are prepared to go, and not all of us are able to end up together. So
our lives take disparate pathways. Maybe some of us have some very tough years
ahead, and some of us find haven and the years aren’t so bad. Then ten years later,
it happens that we can come back together. Don’t you think we will come back to
the happy times, the last happy time we shared?
Right now we’re sitting in each other’s subtle bodies. Those memories are
being impressed on the cells of those subtle bodies. That is being impressed on the
matrix of the Mental Body. That’s memory. It can be accessed by others, and that is
called déjà vu. You may not be experiencing your own experience. You may be
experiencing someone else’s experience, the memory cells of which are in the Mental
Body.
Jean: My mother’s death precipitated my cousin’s mother’s death. So there was
some connection there. After having been separated for a long time, we came together
and found that children’s names are repeated or quite similar in the two families. (Two
Robbies, a Lynnette and a Lynn, for instance.) They were in the same activities. There
were many astounding parallels. (I have two families. I have four boys, two boys in an
older family and two boys in the younger. The elder of each pair had not known
each other until adulthood and since. There was a span of about fifteen years they
were separated. Each one has a son named Christopher, and each one has a
daughter named Ellen. They knew each other, but they didn’t know the children’s
names. One married a woman named Ruth which is my middle name. There are a
lot of parallels.)
Gloria: (Returning to Owen’s letter.) “Are the predictions used as a tool to get
us moving so that the predicted events won’t occur?” I don’t think purely that is so.
I think what they’re doing is arming us with knowledge so we can shape the fate of
the events. Remember the difference between “destiny” and “fate”? Destiny is the
absolute manifestation of an event. Let’s say an unavoidable occurrence of an event.
But you shape that event. That’s “fate”. Okay? They have told us that we are not
out from under, that the tension points are still there. The tsunami may still arrive,
but we shape the way we deal with it by our preparedness. We can ultimately shape
the event itself by the way we think about it.
“Are the predictions made to sensationalize?” No. They have said that time
and again. That’s one reason why they don’t like to make predictions, because they
do not want you to seek the sensational in what’s gong on. That’s why they don’t
give us phenomena, to speak of. But I think, if you really looked into your own lives,
you’d see phenomena. (Agreement.)
Betty: When I look back at it, we have pressured them for everything. Sometimes
there have been casual comments that we have built into a whole structure.
Gloria: That’s true.
“Are the predictions merely an indication of the worst possible conditions in
the spectrum of possibilities?” Yes. They told us that. They told us, “If we give you
the worst, and you’re prepared for the worst, you won’t have to deal with the
worst.”
“Is there any actual view of the future in them?” Now, I don’t know whether
he means future in the view of the predictions, or is he saying, “Do the teachers have
a view of the future?”
Sidney: That’s probably what he means. Are they really seeing something that is
beyond what we consider the present moment.
Jnana: Something that has already happened.
Sidney: At some level of time. (Yeah. I think they are talking about “destiny”,
but it may not manifest in the way we expect it to. As we shape “fate”, we may not
experience the tsunami. We may have an economic collapse which can send waves,
floods of all kinds of contingencies upon us that require our removal, or
readjustment, our dealing with money, etc.)
Jean: This makes me think of when, at the workshop, you did some horoscope
work. Three people had said, “That happened to me”. (They were all shaped
differently, but it was the same event.)
Jnana: What you may have indicated was that what they see is a flood of power,
maybe. That power may take the shape of water which could be interpreted as emotion,
in fact. (That’s true.) So it could all happen on an emotional level, and that emotion may
be triggered by almost any phenomena.
Sidney: I don’t recall the teachers ever using the word tsunami. (I doubt that they
did. I think that was an interpretation.)
Betty: When Jenika was asking questions about going down to California, I think
we interpreted something for the end of April, didn’t we? (Judith, in #74 page 3 “By the
early months of your year 1989 you are going to witness geological changes as you
have no current recollection for.) A lot of things happened emotion-wise, decision-
wise, for me in April.
Jenika: I found out when I got back I was offered a part-time job in the wine shop,
and that was my last vacation, and my last chance to go see my girl friend for any length
of time, which I didn’t then know. (So that was your destiny. Do you see the difference
between “destiny” and “fate”? The wine shop offer was already there before you
went, but you didn’t now it. It wasn’t in your awareness. That’s part of “destiny”.
Now you can shape that job. You can work at it, and make it something, or you can
not work at it and leave it.)
Jnana: But we can also shape our destiny by shaping our fate. (Well, “destiny” is
like a pathway. You don’t actually shape the pathway ahead of you. You may go off
to one side. You may cross it this way, but you can’t get off of it. You shape the
experience. As I look at it, I’m calling “fate” the experience you have of the events
on the pathway of “destiny”. That pathway may have boulders in it or to the side of
it, or holes in it or whatever. You shape the experience or the “fate” of your
passageway.)
Once that Ego Mission is accomplished, what determines the next destiny?
(Soul.)
Betty: Destiny is the pathway, and fate would be actually walking it? (Yes. Do
you climb the boulder, or do you go around it? Do you stub your toe and fall down?
Do you step in the hole? Do you go out of body and fly?)
Sidney: Or go with the current or against the current?
Gloria: (Going back to Owen’s last question: “Are the teachers predicting
conditions or events that will occur at some place and time, but those two factors, place
and time, are uncertain?”) No. I think the event’s shape is what is important. They’re
not focusing right into this little piece of dirt. It’s the chaotic conditions that have
existed in areas very close to us. They haven’t affected us as severely as they have
affected other people. But any earthquake in southern California affects us. It sends
floods of migrants up here. Transplants from southern California are buying up our
real estate, and that’s going to cause a tremendous real estate boom up here. So
people are saying, “But it has been predicted that we’re going to have hard times.”
How can we have hard times if our real estate is booming? If real estate booms, all
economy booms. But we are simply being affected by the ripple of an event. It
doesn’t mean that the event has to happen right here on 49th Street for me to feel the
effect of it. So I think that events, place, and time all have shapes to them. One thing
they did say is, “We haven’t yet given you the nature of time and motion, so you
can’t really understand the focus.)
Jenika: They still have to give us time, space and motion? (Yes. So we can’t
understand how what we expect happens elsewhere. It’s like the weather. We may
expect it to rain in Portland, but it dumps all the water on Mt. Hood or Hood River,
or out in the ocean before it gets here. The storm front being an event, but where
does the event occur and to what degree? Does it require a response?
Betty: The other perspective: you were talking about the southern California
coming up and buying all the real estate and that making a booming economy. What
happened to the farmers when they were squeezed out of California. They sold their
small acreage there for mucho bucks and came up and bought farms that were grossly
overpriced, so that the farmers that were already established in this area could not buy
other land. It created a real hardship. To Californians with all their money, it looked like
a real bargain. They wiped out existing buildings and made a whole new thing. (That’s
just an example of what’s to come.) And they had this money to enlarge their herds.
They made a glut of the milk situation in this area. They created all kinds of problems.
Joni: Betty, we certainly did enjoy coming to your house.
Myra: How is your garden?
Betty: Would you believe that Roger went out the other night and started
weeding, and Ron stopped by and started weeding. So all of the big weeds are pulled out
of the garden.
Myra: So they didn’t rototill? Just because we were there they pulled them up?
(Remember what Son said when we started weeding there: “Oh don’t pull them. We’ll
bring the whatever over.” And really put us down for weeding. And I said, “No, we’re
going to weed.” So we went ahead and pulled all those weeds. See what we set in
motion?)
Betty: That was funny, because Ron said, “Why are we pulling these? Why don’t
we just do the other?” Roger says, “Oh, they just pull easy.” (But we set up a
constructive thought in that area. Now there’s a good example of how your subtle
bodies are affected by something someone else has thought in that area. When
you’re walking down the street or moving from one location to another, try to
become aware of the changing of your mood, and try to apply some rational
interpretation of why did you feel happy at this corner and sad at that corner.
Haven’t you ever noticed that as you walk from one place to another? You change.
Why do you change? Because you pick up. Because you walk through constructs,
mental thought constructs.)
Jean: There was a house for sale near us. I went into it, and it was a very good
buy, and I knew it. But it was an unhappy house, and tragedy had happened in it so much.
I had read this but never experienced it before. It was so terrible I couldn’t wait to get out
of that house. Some people got in and did some remodeling, but now just a few months
later, the house is up for sale again. In contrast, the house next to us is a very happy
house. It also sold recently, and the new owners say they feel so good in it. (We have
the same thing with the blue house on the corner where there was a murder-suicide
about ten years ago. That house is unlivable. In the last ten years it has turned over
two or three times every year. They rent it, and the renters only stay two months or
six weeks. It’s been sold, and people have built fences, and it’s been landscaped.
Others built a wheelchair ramp and put lights out front, but only stayed six weeks.
It’s for sale again. They’re having an open house next week.)
Joni: Can that be purged? (Sure it can, but I can’t go over there and say,
“Let me clean it out.” Someone has to ask.)
The house next door to us has been a neatnik house. Everybody that’s lived there
had a place for everything and everything in its place. The people who have just moved
in, I think, are going to continue that. (Yes. You’re gong to find that areas have these
thought form constructions, and you conform to the construct that is there until you
take over with your volition.)
Gloria: (Looking at question raised at study groups.) The question of Age of
Aquarius vs. Age of Affection. I think that one of our visiting teachers, Netsok or
Chezray, addressed that. In astrological circles, it’s called the Age of Aquarius
because the ages go backwards through the signs. We are leaving the Age of Pisces
and going into the Age of Aquarius astrologically. An age is 26,000 years in that
term.
Myra: Did it start in Pisces? (Well, how can we say when it started? The
organized church as we know it began about 1500 years ago.)
Sidney: The Council of Trent was about 500 AD wasn’t it? (Yes.)
Myra: The Council of Nicaea met about 325 AD. (And that was really the
beginning of the church as we know it.) Until then there were hundreds of sects and
lots and lots of disagreements, just like now. In fact, there was not one Christian
viewpoint until 400. (That’s right. Okay, so the Age of Aquarius, I think, was being
redefined for us in terms of its nature rather than its calendar relationships. The
Age of Affection is to be the nature of that 26,000 years.)
Joni: Calendarly speaking, when does the 26,000 year period begin? (Well,
that’s a matter of discussion among a lot of people. Netsok is saying that the Age of
Affection can’t begin until he can come. That means that we have a lot of work to do
before the age can get really underway. That doesn’t mean that it’s not making its
appearance and disappearing. It’s like a planet that is direct for six months of the
year and retrogrades for six months at the cusp. It could spend six months of the
year in one sign and six months in another sign, and back and forth and back and
forth until enough time has gone by. It’s not like a pendulum having only one arc.
The arc swings, and it doesn’t come back as far and swing further. So there is a
continual movement. Were moving into the Age of Aquarius, and we’re seeing
affection beginning to grow. You’re seeing more and more groups meeting with
peace on their mind instead of war. Europe is trying to solve its problems by
ecumenical work, by working together, lowering the borders between nations. (Jean
gets her “tuning fork” which is greeted with general glee. Note: Tuning fork was an
inner vibration Jean felt when something “rang true”.)
You see, that’s the planetarization of consciousness that Rudyard first saw. People
will begin to deal with people, not nations with nations. We will have a common
ruling body for all people, world-wide, like a world-wide ecumenical council. That
won’t apply just to religion. It will apply to economics and politics, too.
Jean: This is what happened at that unexpected picnic at our house. (It will no
longer be noticeable. It will no longer be something to take note of. It will be just a
natural, normal way. We sit here now, and we don’t take note of who’s got grey hair
and who hasn’t, or who is six feet tall and who’s four feet tall. That doesn’t matter.
We’re just people together. So pretty soon it won’t matter whether you’re born in
Africa or China or the Arctic. You will just be a World Citizen. We will all be in
affection with each other.)
Betty: There is more awareness now of sensing feeling. (On the Discovery
channel last night there was something about ESP in children. They discovered that
it’s about 80% in children up to 18 months. Then it drops to about 25% at age seven
or eight.)
Joni: These new babies that are being born now are just incredible. If the
parents are aware, the babies are quite different and very special. (Quite different. Not
necessarily high souls, but very special. They are special in the way that their
Consciousness is different.)
Jean: But there are a lot of very damaged babies coming in, too. (Bodies are
damaged. Don’t confuse the entity with the body. Remember that the body is
mutating for the new bodies of the new age. There is a lot of damage in mutation.
What happens in a hybrid plant? Out of all the plants that you produce, there may
be only one or two that are perfect.)
But I’m referring to the ones who are drug affected. (But that’s the body that’s
affected. That’s not the entity. The Consciousness is pure. You can’t pollute the
Absolute Consciousness. All you can pollute is the manifestation, the tool that the
Consciousness uses.)
Sidney: Talking about persons who are dying and then quickly trying to find other
bodies to get into that are also drug related, the Consciousness is pure, but they’re not
dead long enough to know it. (Remember that we still live in a sensation body. We are
still in the Desire Body. We have not grown to where we can live in the Emotional
and Mental Bodies and begin to create the Creative Body. There are millions of
people still fascinated in the desire Body. The drug addictions are all in the Desire
Body, and as long as that Desire Body has dominance, then that addiction has
dominance, but it doesn’t do anything to the Consciousness.)
Consciousness goes all the way to the Absolute, where the Desire Body does not.
(Remember: Don’t confuse Consciousness with awareness. Don’t confuse thinking,
which is data processing, with Thought.)
Betty: Please review for us. You just said, “Do not confuse Consciousness with
awareness.”
Gloria: Consciousness is pure. It’s one of the Components that makes up
everything. A rock doesn’t have any manifest awareness, in our perception, but it’s
loaded with Consciousness. What we call Consciousness in us is our awareness of
being. Consciousness is the possibility or the power, the enabler, for us to be aware.
But it’s the ratio between Volition and Consciousness that makes us able to act on
that awareness. A dog may be aware of love, but it may not be able to act on it like
we can. A rock may have all the loyalty in the world to you. It may never move out
of your yard. (Laughter.)
We all share our Mental Body to some degree, and that we are not yet aware
of. Until we can become aware of sharing our Desire and Emotional Bodies, until we
can become sensitized to the contact of our Vital Body we aren’t going to be able to
Volitionally utilize the contact of the Mental Body. It’s involuntary. It’s like Jean’s
thought of Vivian, and Vivian calling her. But Jean didn’t Volitionally say, “I’m
going to think of Vivian , and she will call me.” But that’s a good exercise for you to
begin to practice purposely. Think! And with success comes certainty.
Jnana gave Peter and me a little dissertation this morning on how
manifestation takes place. Do you want to do it again, Jnana?
Jnana: The key to immediate manifestation is certainty. When you are certain,
you will risk everything. So if you say, “I am certain that an apple will manifest in my
hand in five seconds, so certain that I will give everything away if it doesn’t, I will give
up my life if it doesn’t. That’s certainty. That’s what is required for immediate
manifestation.
Gloria: None of us have that certainty. We have a program in our Emotional
Body, based on Desire Body needs, that keep us from being that certain. But that’s
what we’re growing into for the Age of Affection. What is the Age of Affection? We
think of affection as being some kind of romantic attachment, a loving relationship.
Affection is being able to affect. If I can manifest immediately, and you can manifest
immediately, we don’t dare do anything against each other. We have to be in Love.
That means that I can be assured of you as you can be of me, with no reservations,
and that’s the Hadiki Consciousness.
The soap adventure is still on. There are several reasons that we have to
make soap. I depended on someone else that didn’t follow through on our first go-
round, and it had to be abandoned. The second time, I did not take the measures to
insure that it would happen. I haven’t had a third chance, but it means that Hadiki
is going to have to acquire all of its own materials. Apparently, we cannot yet
depend on all members to function 100%.
Betty: I would say we’re approaching it wrong. It would be more practical to ask
someone to take leadership and do this. (I did, and the consent was given, and the
action wasn’t followed through. Since then, I have not delegated or requested, but
that’s why there’s been no soap made. Peter and I went and got the olive oil for the
castile soap, which was to be our next project. So we have the oil, and Betty has the
scales, and now we have recipes. Sidney has the stainless steel pot. So, now all we
need to acquire is some candy thermometers, with the long shaft. (Several think they
have one.)
Instead of depending on each individual supplying one part of this, we need
to get into one central location all the things that we need to make soap. Then the
individual will take the responsibility to see that all those things get to wherever
we’re going to make the soap, but that doesn’t mean that one individual has to have
the sole responsibility all of the time. (Betty mentions that she will have a source of
beef fat in the near future.) The teachers have told me that our soap will be vegetable
fat.
Betty: But we can still make the other kind. (Oh, I want to. Since the animal fat
will be available, why waste it. In the Age of Affection, I don’t think there will be
waste or obsolescence, and certainly not built-in obsolescence.)
Myra: My daughter, Julia, has been making soap for a long time, and she
purchased some coconut oil for us, and some cocoa butter. I will get it, and bring it to
you. (OK. I will be very happy to put all the soap-making ingredients and supplies
all together here, and see that they get transported where they need to be
transported, at least for a while. The soap-making is a Hadiki revenue agent.
(Laughter.)
Jenika: Have the teachers given you any more ideas about the soap-making? For
instance when they’re going to put in the special ingredients? (When we learn how to do
it right.)
Betty: I learned a lot about Hadiki when the group came to my house. Every time
I look out the windows, I see where people have worked, and I recall the group, over and
over. All that presence is there. (That’s right. Remember the thought structure I
talked about. We leave the thought structure wherever we pass.)
Myra: But it felt unfinished. (That’s the way you felt. Remember that the way
you feel isn’t the way everybody feels, and it’s not for any one member of the group
to say, “This is the way it’s got to be.”)
I wish we could have that unity of consciousness for a minute. (Isn’t that what
we’re building? Doesn’t it take all of us to say, “I want to do this”, not just one?)
Well, we’ve started the process. Does anyone want to join me? (I think you have
to wait until the time. We can’t exercise that kind of dominance on each other.
That’s not what Hadiki is. If you’re uncomfortable, you have the right to say so,
which you have.)
It’s just a wish. I love our unity of consciousness.) I understand that. I’m just
saying that we must not set up those kinds of structures where someone demands
that everyone do what they want done so they won’t feel uncomfortable.)
Jnana: The Hadiki Consciousness isn’t bound to a small group getting together in
one place. No matter what you’re doing… (You’re still part of the group. It doesn’t
take geographical location. If you try to find a location for Hadiki Consciousness,
it’s in the Mental Realm. That’s where it manifests. We’re trying to access that
commonality, that unity, that sense of oneness, where there are not secrets, there are
no reservations. There’s apportionment, but no rejection, no dominion, no
exclusion.)
Jean: I think we’re at that transitional point when you put a dividing line down
the center of a country road. The distinction needs to be made clear. When do you speak
up and say, “This is what I need”, and when do you follow? It has to be defined within
yourself. (It’s OK to stand up and say, “I’d like to have a closing meditation.” It’s
not OK to say, “We’ve all got to get together and do this thing.” That is Dominance.
I have seen that in this group, where one person has a concept and insists that all
other people follow that concept. All I’m saying is that I want you to be aware when
you are doing that or feeling that. It’s right to speak up your opinion anytime, if
you’re willing to take the risk, but to set rules, defining the center line and shoulder
and direction of traffic flow, that’s setting up rules of Dominance. As long as we
have to have those kinds of constructs, we’re never going to get all the way into the
Age of Affection.
When Betty’s driving late at night and sees no cars behind or in front, and
straddles the center line so that the bumps will wake her if she dozes, that’s all right
for her to build that construct at that time, even though there’s a larger concept that
says, “This side is for this direction and that side is for that direction.” I agree that
it’s the carelessness of assuming that there is no danger that brings about accidents,
but remember: there are no accidents. You chose to take an action at any given time
to create an event. You may tell yourself that you did not intend to smash up your
car, but only you did it. She’s making a choice between two risks: “Do I obey and
stay on one side of the line and risk dropping off to sleep and going over the
shoulder, maybe killing myself, or do I risk meeting someone, and what precautions
can I take so that risk will not end in tragedy.” We make those same decisions every
day of our lives in many different ways.)
Betty: If I didn’t want to take either of those risks, I wouldn’t make the drive to
start with, and if I didn’t want to take any risks at all, I’d stay home, sitting in my rocking
chair all day long. (Sure, we risk every day. Like the plane accident the other day.
The only deaths were the people in the cars that the plane hit. It wasn’t the
passengers in the plane. It was the innocent guy in his car that chose to be in that
place at that time. We make choices at a level beyond our current awareness.
Remember that.
So, if it’s really important to you to have that final closing togetherness, it
really comes down to having the first person who chooses to leave make an
announcement and say, “Can we have that moment now, so I can leave?” If the
group doesn’t want to, then the person is free to leave. (Several concur that this is a
good way to handle the situation.)
After some light conversation, the meeting closed with a meditation led by Gloria.
MEDITATION
Take some deep breaths. Become centered. Become very intensely aware of your
own body, its position, its connection with the seat, its placement in the room. And
wherever you sense a mis-alignment, try to straighten it out. Straighten the spine.
Let the head sit comfortably on your shoulders. And begin to feel that entry of force
that we call the light, coming in the crown chakra through the top of the head and
moving down through the spine, and passing out through all the myriad network of
nerves, so that your whole body becomes suffused with this light.
This is like the RIVER OF LIFE flowing through your ROD, and that LIFE is
manifested as light, and it permeates every cell. And then become aware of how it
also permeates the cells of the SUBTLE BODIES, that your CONSCIOUSNESS is
actually the collection of these little sparks of light in the cells of all your bodies, not
just the carbon body, but also the DESIRE BODY and the EMOTIONAL BODY…
until finally, it glows in its green light in the VITAL BODY. You sort of begin to
feel like a light bulb. You become aware of that center force emanating from you in
a glow of light. And this glowingness is the aura that is visible to some people…
As you breathe in, your SUBTLE BODIES become expanded and more porous…
And begin to be sensitive to how those subtle bodies intermingle with the subtle
bodies of everyone else here in the room. As you become aware of this
expansiveness, you become aware of how everyone in the room is inside of you. In
that awareness, you begin to catch a glimmer of the meaning of unity, of oneness, of
accord... And because all of us here in this circle have built a trust with each other,
we can find comfort and support and reinforcement in that intermingling of our
bodies…
Now expand your sensitivity even further, and become aware of the entities
present who aren't wearing carbon bodies, but whose subtle bodies are here, and
intermingling with ours... As you become aware of these other subtle body forces,
these presences, you find that the walls of the room dissolve and you become very
expanded, but comfortable... A strong feeling of support and love, and an
underlying strength that in itself forms the protective walls. There's a sense of
security in this trust, our trust of each other and our trust of our Teachers who
come in their subtle bodies.
As you expand into this sensitivity of sharing subtle bodies, your own carbon
body feels lighter, and less in contact with the chair that you're sitting on. Feel the
reach and the expansion. And you begin to feel the touch of THOUGHT. The
presence of the Teachers is very, very viable... And there's not only the Teachers
present, but other members of the Temple, other functionaries, and particularly
healers, those who can bring balance and harmony into the flow of the current of
force... that goes through your body, and circulates among all of us, and comes
back to the body…
And the alignments of your carbon bodies become more secure, more firm, more
harmonious, more perfect. And the cellular consciousness responds with greater
health, greater harmony, greater cooperation. They begin to feel a filling as the
strength of Temple people, pours into us their reassurance and their
reinforcement…
And it more clearly identifies your Self to your self. Even though you're expanded
and part of this greatness, there is a clearer sense of individuality and of your own
perfection, and your own power.
And as you make that reach, and touch the thoughts, you begin to have a sense of
glory. There's a sense of illumination, of an understanding that goes beyond
comprehension.., and the strength of peace… and endurance, and ongoingness. You
begin to touch that thread of continuity that goes beyond the boundaries of our
physical world…
And in that reach, the reach beyond the realm of EGO, into the realm of SOUL,
and even into the realm of SPIRIT, you begin to touch the wellspring of the River of
Life, as we know it… You begin to feel the eternality of which you are a part. And
in that sense, let us affirm together, "I AM" three times. (Done). And the sense of
rooted-ness becomes more-firm in your consciousness. You have more certainty.
You are ameliorating the fear that resides in the DESIRE BODY and converting it
into FAITH, which becomes certainty and conviction.
And now, though reluctant you may be, we must begin to draw our awareness
back… reduce our expansion… focalize back into the carbon body… And in your
own conscience, in your own thoughts, express your gratitude to the Teachers and
the Temple faculty that comes to us. Express your gratitude for the healing strength
that is given to us. And avow to yourself that you are going to carry this sense of
loving power in your own consciousness, that you're going to work from that basis,
the basis of loving power, and not from a basis of fear. And you're going to declare
your SPACE.
Claim your power, and be all that you can be. Now as you bring your awareness
back to this small focus, we give thanks for this opportunity to have shared, and we
know that we will go our separate ways with a sense of LOVE that we share. And so
it is done.
