Session #132 – February 16, 1992 Gloria’s Circle
Present: Betty, Bill, Edith, Gayla, Jean, Jenika, Jnana, Joni, Len, Maxine, Myra, Owen, Peter, Sidney, Vivian, and Gloria with Enid. (9:00 a.m., Sunday at Edith's)
(The opening service was led by Myra. She suggested we review the "love notes" we gave each other in #114. Opened with 3 Aa, Oo, Mm's. Invoked Khamael (I am eternal life), Gabriel (I will Divine Will), and Ratziel (Divine Ideation provides what I am to learn), and Raphael (Divine Process perfects, fulfills, and completes what I know). This was followed by reading thoughts given by Enid in earlier visits (supplements to #110 and #111), and reviewing her four steps on the path of the initiate: demonstrate COMMITMENT sufficient to attract your guiding teacher who must also be an initiate, PURGING, SELF LOVE, and JOY AND EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION (#113 supplement). Instructions given for our first initiation ceremony were also read.)
MYRA: It seemed to me that at that moment (of Initiation) I certainly felt something happen. I have no idea what it was, but I think there was a connection. Something material happened in my body, and I presume that this might have happened to the rest of us.
JENIKA: Marlayna and I were talking about this (the moment of touching the forehead to Enid's extended fingers), and we likened it to our first holy communion, and we felt like making the sign of the cross. (laughter)
GLORIA: I'd like to make a comment that we failed in our effort of purging at Salem, because we did not ask Enid to come. It just dawned on me -- that was what was wrong with that. We all went with good intentions, and we failed miserably and became very unhappy and created a vortex of black cloud in Betty's mother's home, because we didn't invite Enid to come and be with us during the purging process. She had said, "Ask me and I will come." It just dawned on me, we did not do that. Purging (The introductory service continued with reading Enid's instructions for purging (#111) The last of these was "to find that within yourself that you can be most joyous about,...something to complement yourself about".)
MYRA: Now, I'd like to have everybody give a statement of something that they can brag about. I'll start.
I've learned how to drive a big vehicle, and I was asked about two weeks ago to volunteer my time as a bus driver for disadvantaged youth at high schools to take them to a class of job and career counseling over about six weeks. I'll be doing it every Tuesday, it's a nice big bus, and I'm a very good bus driver. And I'm so glad I can say to God, "Thank you for healing me." (knee replacement)
GLORIA: Now you know why you got the first RV.
MAXINE: I like to sew, and I have done a lot of sewing and have created my own patterns. And I've helped other people who have sewing problems. I've sewn for my children and my friends.
MARLAYNA: I've been working on myself to be more congenial around people. And so I've gotten in situations like working with Myra and Julia in planning the soap workshop. I'm working on a newsletter and I've undertaken heading up our neighborhood clean-up with our neighborhood association.
EDITH: I cook good food dishes. (several strong endorsements.)
JNANA: I'm pretty much joyous all the time.
JEAN: I have a lot of fun teaching people about how their thinking affects their body. (Jean proceeds to demonstrate pendulum response to thought on Owen, first on response to pain, then an angry thought, then a loving thought, then repeating with eyes closed, then again with eyes open, and ending with singing "I'm so glad, I feel so swell, every little cell is happy and well.") I spread this all through California (and particularly in the handicapped section of a train). (much laughter)
OWEN: After that demonstration I should brag about my ability to make a pendulum change its motion. (laughter) Besides my excellent energy systems, I think I'm most proud of what I was a part of and Maxine the other part -- of raising four outstanding young men that are independent, doing their own thing, joyous, three with fine families. Although we had the blessing of very fine individuals presented to us to work with, I think we deserve a lot of credit in getting them launched properly so that they are doing their own thing and we are all very good friends.
VIVIAN: I have the very same attitude and feeling and experiences with my family -- two daughters, and their husbands may as well be my actual sons. It's a beautiful thing, and I'm so blessed. I'm so happy that I was able to be a part of that. Also, I'm proud that I love people, all people. The nicest part is that I get so much love back. The most wonderful part of the world is people regardless of what, where, or where from.
BILL: I have great pride in myself. My son and I have a rapport together and the things that we do together, and it's very joyful.
JENIKA: I'm very proud of something I have accomplished that took years and years, and that is to have a good relationship with my mother and father, which I have wanted for so long, and given up and then come back. None too soon, because Daddy transitioned in December, and Mother's in a nursing home. And now we have a beautiful relationship. Too bad it couldn't be sooner, but it doesn't matter, because it is now, and now is what you have. And my sister who I now speak to. ... The whole thing was over what my name is -- she would call me "Sharon". And now that's fine -- I sign my cards to her "Sharon", because it makes her happy, and it doesn't matter. (applause)
GLORIA: Detachment -- that's what you have been told over and over and over -- to detach. Wonderful. You are to be congratulated.
JENIKA: I won't have to come back and relive that.
GAYLA: I'm proud of the way I've managed to live my life and get to here. There have been a lot of challenges and opportunities for growth and learning. And I'm proud that I maintained the path and didn't get too far to either side and have been able to continue on in order to get to where I am now and the place that I'm still going towards, which is more work with the Teachers. And I'm proud of that.
JONI: I'm very proud of the flexibility that I've allowed into my life, especially in things that I have held very rigid -- absolute rules and absolute necessities are no longer absolute. What a special thing to have that flexibility now, and to welcome things and people into my life that I was unable to accept before. I think it shows in me, and I know it shows in other people's response to me. It's taken a lot of years to get to this point. And I count all of you among my blessings, because you've helped me, you've really helped me. And I'm so proud of that. (joyous response)
PETER: I am very grateful and proud of the love I've been able to express, the awareness of the love around me. It's just tremendous. The English language really doesn't express the depth of feeling, the love I feel and receive. Every place I go I am immersed in love and joy. I am very grateful and proud to be a part of the whole schmeer.
SIDNEY: I am proud of some of the things I have done with other people in terms of doing my best to help them, particularly my son. And I like sometimes to volunteer to do things that might be helpful -- I hope they are received as helpful -- I'm not always sure that they are, but I certainly enjoy doing them.
GLORIA: Mine is a very simple pride today. Downtown Vancouver is once again having its one-way streets changed. Some are being changed to moving the opposite direction, and some are being changed to two-way streets, and they are tearing up curbs and cement, etc. And I'm proud of the fact that I struggled through all of that mess and got our chart (Wheel of Karma) laminated. (Oh's of approval)
Len: I wouldn't call it bragging, but I would say that I'm very grateful that I listened when the 2 by 4 was applied to the back of my head by the Teachers. I can finally feel love -- I could never do that at all. I've come to the point now where I can accept it. Before I totally rejected it. And, I'm very proud to be here.
(Myra called attention to Enid's instruction to send "love notes" to one another -- "I love you because ....")
GLORIA: It's amazing how you will find other people's attitudes changing as you approach them with "I LOVE you because ..".
Not just, "Oh, that's a pretty shirt" or "you did a good job". When you add that element of "I love you because you now get along with your mother", or "because you changed a trip for a few people who where at that moment in that place". When you add that element of "I love you because", you experience such an expansion. The other person's self esteem goes up, their onset of joy in themselves goes up. Even though they might be in that place where Len found himself before of being unable to accept being loved by someone else, it nevertheless affects their consciousness so that they have then a lever to work with in increasing their volition. The more that you tell people that you love them because ..., the more you help them. Of course, I'm just repeating what Enid has already told you.
BETTY: I find, however, that a caution bell rings in my heart in that it was my experience in my life that I was loved because I was a good girl. I think that we have to be careful not to use "I love you because ..." as a lever to mold other people. (agreement)
GLORIA: That's true. We have to be aware of what our biases are -- how we have been programmed to respond to certain triggers, and not use our love -- it is not love when it is used manipulatively. Do not use that "I love you" thing to get your way, so to speak. And never respond to someone who says to you, "If you love me, you will (whatever)". That is the most manipulative thing anyone can do to another human being -- don't respond to that.
(JONI reminded that the transportation questionnaire forms need to be sent to her or Marlayna.)
GLORIA: For any of you who didn't get a hug, be sure to get one just as soon as the meeting breaks up, because Len and Gayla are going to scat southward as soon as our meeting is over. I would appreciate it right now if Gayla would tell in an abbreviated version the saga of their coming from the time she called me about their coming. Tell how the Teachers made it possible.
GAYLA: When we got the transcripts from the January session -- immediately I sat down and devoured them. So I read it, and something inside of me was so touched that I called Gloria immediately. I said, "I'd really like to come up." What affected me was where it said that there would be only three more meetings. I said "We have to come before the last one." Gloria agreed it would be wonderful.
When I learned the date, I doubted we could come because Len was working and unlikely to get time off. Work-wise it's been on and off for him, and this month he has work. And the weather was not looking good -- this was a week ago. Gloria told me, "You work it out. If you're supposed to come, you're supposed to come."
Teachers, evidence of their help We discussed it and decided we must go this week end. So we turned it over to the Teachers to help arrange it. Len went to work the next morning and asked for two days off. They said, "OK", without question. I called Gloria and told her we would be here barring snow on the pass. Friday morning the pass was still open, so we left.
We were planning to stop in Yreka for a cup of coffee and the latest word on the road over the mountain. I said that we would take the third exit. But at that moment we were just passing the third exit --I don't know what happened to the road between the first one and the third one. So we kept going. Soon, when we did stop briefly at a rest area, we had this feeling of urgency of not stopping for anything. So we got over the mountain and a half hour later it started snowing on the mountain. It rained the rest of the way.
When I had talked to Gloria, she said she had so much work that she couldn't possibly spend Saturday "unless I'm working -- I don't have time to not work". But I have talked to her while she worked for years. So when we were talking to the Teachers before we left, we asked them to arrange that Gloria would have time to spend with us if that was OK. We had some other reasons for coming, we needed some time with Gloria for that. So when we arrived in town, I called her, and she said, "My mother's out of town and I have the whole day for you. Everything is taken care of." I expected this much. (laughter). So here we are and very pleased to be here. And we'd like very much to take a group portrait. (This was done). And we're videoing this, so if anyone wants a copy, let me know.
(Question asked about Gayla's channelling.) I don't channel in front of a group. I have been instructed to not do that at this time. I am working with the Temple Teachers. I asked, "Will I channel the same Teachers Gloria does?Some. Some will be different, some will be the same, but you won't know because we're not going to use the same names." So I can't tell you who except for Sheariam. We have talked to Sheariam quite a lot. And I believe we have talked to Judith once, but that was not through me. Len also talks to them. He can see Sheariam. So basically at this point, it's been in preparation for something that I'm not completely clear on yet. I'm working on getting clear on exactly what my purposes are.
I turn myself over -- I try real hard to do it like Gloria. I had to learn eventually that that's not my way. Gloria helped me with that a lot. I'm conscious, kind of like moving over. I stay here; I hear everything. I know what's going on. But it's like somebody else is talking, and afterwards Len will ask if I remember what was said, but I don't. It's like you're having a three-person conversation and you're listening to the other person. I'm hearing everything, and I could probably stop it at any moment, but I just turn it over, and they come in and talk. I don't interact, because that takes away the focus and interferes with what's happening -- Len's having a conversation with the entity.
We keep some notes. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A lot of what we have been told is preparing us personally for something else. It hasn't been something that I could type up and send. It applies only personally to us.
(Do you do this regularly?) No. I seem to know. I've been told that if I'm not feeling well, that I don't let myself or anyone talk me into it, because that's not a good time. Mostly, Len and I spend a lot of time on our patio -- it's really lovely. We sit out there and we look at the stars and we have a lot of our conversations there.
Len: (In response to question about what he sees.) It's like sitting down across from you and just having a conversation. If it's windy I'd see wind-blown hair, ruffles in the dress, flutters in the voice. It's just like sitting down and speaking to somebody. I see them like I see you. Whatever it is they want to say, they just start saying it. My questions are answered to the best of my ability to understand. It's straight forward.
To me Sheariam looks -- I have an affinity for pretty women (laughter) (Comment: Gee, that's unique.) So Sheariam to me is a very beautiful, young lady. She wears a bright red tunic with little black stones around the collar. She has almost coal- black hair and a rosy complexion -- she's beautiful. She wears the same thing about 90% of the time.
GLORIA: Thank you very much for being here and sharing with us, and thank you for yesterday.
This morning in meditation, I was told that the subject matter for the RETREAT will be the third level of the WANTS, THOUGHT, and SPECIALIZATION of the Karmic Wheel. The presentation will be such that people who aren't familiar with the Wheel still can benefit from it. That will be part of the SPIRITUAL GROWTH portion of the retreat. Previously they told me there will be an emphasis on HEALING and an emphasis on HADIKI. So I would deduce from that that whoever comes to the retreat that is not a part of the Circle, are people who are evidently practicing or in some way incorporating Hadiki consciousness in their lives, and this will be a means to assist them in doing it more so, and to assist those of you that are aware and that are striving for the Hadiki consciousness to deepen the experience and widen your horizons.
Today's program, I have been told, will be primarily Enid for you. The discussion to complete the Wheel through MOTIVATION will take place next time, and be based on what we have been given, and will clarify the two different sets of works that I got under the heading, WILL. (last 2 pages of #131) You will see that PERSONAL, JOINT, ADJUDICATED, and SPIRITUAL, is different from the first diagram that I got. The first one was Realm-related -- SELF, SOUL, EGO-SOUL, and DIVINE. That puzzled me when I saw it -- I hadn't realized that there was a difference, because I don't question what they give me -- I just put it down. They know more about what they're doing than I do. When I asked, they said this will be clarified --this was put down on purpose. The other issue is the April issue. When they told me to start channeling again, they called the day -- I didn't. That was their choice, and I will not violate their instructions, so I am not open to changing the date in April. However, in the transcript last time, they said they will tell you about something three times from now. They didn't say in April. We assumed April because that would have been the planned third time. So if we do not meet in April, I have the feeling -- I did not ask for approval. But if we don't meet in April, I don't think the world's going to fall apart. The third time will simply be at the retreat in May. So take that into your own awareness and do with it whatever you will.
(Question about why no meeting in April) Many people are having a problem with that being Easter Sunday, because of family tradition, expectancies, etc. It has to do, according to what the Teachers told me -- I asked about your struggle -- it has to do with your NEEDS, your basic survival, security, comfort, luxury needs that you are still being driven by rather than your WANTS. So that's for each of you to settle within yourselves, there's no command here. The Teachers have never commanded us. They command us individually through our Source Groups. They guide us. I regard what they tell me as a command because I've discovered that if I obey the commands, I'm better off. But of course I have free will -- I can choose not to accept their guidance or instruction, but I choose to accept it. And when they said next to the last Sunday, they knew that that was going to be Easter Sunday in April. I didn't care. But you do with it as you will. If Edie will have me, I'll be here. Anybody else that wants to join us, you're welcome. If you don't want to be here, that's fine. Edie says there will not be a conflict for her. Peter is coming. (Jenika and Joni agree it's a great way to spend Easter.) Unfortunately it conflicts with plans that other people have made. Each one has to deal with his or her own life in his or her own way.
JENIKA: The first channeling session I came to was on Easter, with Netsok. (His homily was about Easter. Given on a Saturday evening.)
GAYLA: I remember that. That was the first time I saw you channel. It was at the church.
(CHANNELING SESSION WITH ENID)
(question raised -- Should this be taped?) GLORIA: It's proper. If we're not supposed to do this, it just won't turn out.
GLORIA: Let's all stand and join hands and sing, "Let there be joy in Earth". Enid's theme is joy. (done)
I would like to remind you that you say, "Joy IN Earth" because a physical being is to be joyous in your Earth incarnation. Take joy in your Earth, not just on your Earth. You may be seated. Joy, "in" earth. Now there are some instructions that our guests have not had yet. I will request two volunteers to demonstrate the fraternal greeting that you have been instructed to use, but which you are not using sufficiently. Please note the joining of the left hands, and the two fingers on the temple. The thought that goes with this is "I am". In this instance I am going to ask the two of you to think "I am joy" to each other. ... When you are filled, you may release.
Now I will ask for two volunteers, one to pair with Gayla and one to pair with Len, so they may also have the experience of the fraternal greeting. Be sure that only the two fingers touch the temple. .. I am joy. I am joy. I am joy. ... When you are filled, release.
Now, you were told that I, Gloria, would not participate in the fraternal greeting because of the harm that could come to you. That is still true. But they have prepared me with a special greeting for each one of you today, if I can keep from crying. The first thing, however, is that Vivian and Edie have not had the fraternal greeting, so, as part of their initiation, I will ask for two other volunteers now to pair with Vivian and Edie, that they receive their fraternal greeting from one of you. ... Left hands together. Just the two forefingers on the temple. .. I am joy. I am joy. I am joy. ... And when you are filled, release. ...
One of the changes, and all of you have been part of this, is that I can work in more Gloria-awareness and still bring through that powerful force. That's the way you know that it is not Gloria, but is indeed the Teachers. And so I will be able today to meet our candidates in the center of the circle -- they will not have to come to me. So Edie, if you will come to me please.
Initiation acceptance, Edith and Vivian
ENID: (to Edith) It is with great joy that we welcome you and bring you into our pathway, into our support system, into our love environment. And with this I bless you. Go in peace. .. Vivian, will you come? Personal messages to group members (to Vivian) My joy to you, and peace be with you. We are aware of your struggle, of your turmoil. But you are ready, and we accept you on the Path of Initiation and into our loving support. Bless you, and go in peace.
Now I will invite any one of you who would like to come to take my left hand.
(to Peter) Thank you Peter. Feel the joy. Feel Enid. Feel how close the Teachers are. Take your journey. Keep peace always in your heart no matter what kind of outside force attacks. Keep peace. Do you understand? (Yes, I will.) (to Jean) Welcome home. .. The confusion of your thoughts is resolved through quiet, through peaceful meditation, and through child- like acceptance of our love. Know that we are with you. Know that you are cared for, and know that your pathway is made easier.
(to Jnana) Many trials and many irritants, many attacks that seek to knock you off center are in your near future. But you will rise to the occasion with the strength of the eagle and the wings of the dove. Do you understand? (I will.)
(to Maxine) Your search for understanding is to be satisfied. There comes your way a special teacher, a special sense of being wrapped in the arms of comfort and love, instruction. You must listen, you must try very hard to remember. And in all, take great joy. Enjoy this blessing. Go in peace.
Personal messages to group members:
(to Jenika) Let the waters of your heart be still. Let not the troubled waters of the ocean frighten. Concentrate on stillness.
Meditate in stillness. Calm the emotions. Enjoy the peace that you have brought. Do you understand?
(to Marlayna) As you open your secrets, as you allow other people to know you, as you allow other people to take joy from you, you find that the growth gives you all of its abundance. You have nothing to worry about, but you do have trouble accepting. Be open. Let it happen. Be blessed.
(to Owen) Your heart is giving way. It's allowing your passion mind to be more open, to be more accepting, to be blessed by others as well as being a blessing to others. Your loyalty has always served you well. In times to come, in new times to come, your loyalties will be severely tested. You will stay true and you will have our support.
(to Gayla) You have a very large task ahead. You are equal to it, though you doubt. We give you our support; we are there for you. Even though you ask and we answer, you still doubt. That's alright; we love you anyway. We will always be there, and we will continue to tell you, we will continue to give you answers until all of your doubt is washed away in joy. Be blessed.
(to Len) Yours is a steady heart, even though you have personal doubts, you are true to that center of being. This is your cosmic. This is our joy. We take a great pride in you, and we love your closeness. Know that we are there. Blessed be. Go in peace.
(to Bill) Yours is an abounded spirit. You have such great love to give, and you have not yet found the vessel that can contain that love. So give love where you can, and one will come that can contain all of your love, and return in equal. Peace.
(to Myra) There are times when life goes speeding by, and you feel as though it's passing you by and you can't quite comprehend it. And there are other times when you feel things need to be pushed and you're pushing hard enough. Your joy will be to find that median place where you do not feel in doubt, you feel that you are not getting all of it that's available, that what you have is enough, and you do not have to push for more. It is our joy to show you that center of blessings, that center of peace and quiet. (In your) meditation, place your hands with your palms up on your knees, and we will be there. There will be a sign in the palms of your hands, and you will know that we are there. Blessed be, and go in peace.
(to Joni) We are truly proud of you. We take such great joy in your progress. We have seen you grow. We have seen you open as a full blossom from the bud, the closed bud that we first knew. We take such joy in you, you cannot help but feel our joy. You are a blessing, and you are more and more becoming a blessing in your family. You must hang in there; you must stay. You must take joy even though you may find pain, non- acceptance, lack of understanding. Take joy in the interaction because your joy will soften those walls and you will find acceptance, and you will find the mark that you seek. Blessed be , go in peace.
(to Sidney) You are an unfettered spirit. You are a joy to the people who know you. So it is that we will make you understand how much joy you bring to others. It is right that you take pride in giving them joy, and bringing that environment of joy to others. We appreciate the sweeps of mental aspiration that you travel. It gives us wider horizons. And when you are on those mental journeys, know that we are with you. Take joy and bring that joy back, and then share that joy with those who will listen. Do you understand?
(to Betty) Believe it or not, you bring great joy to many people. Those people don't understand this -- they don't understand enough. It is for you to develop confidence. It is our joy that you do bring joy and you are positive in that with those people with whom you come in contact. It is not by accident that you have a public position. You touch lives that you may never touch again. But in that glance, in that joyful greeting, in that understanding the person wants to convey to you, you have given that person joy, and that fills your spirit, and that fills your spiritual life. You are a joy and you've got to do it.
(to Edith) There is a joyful one. You give so much joy to so many people. The light in your eye, your joyful search for spiritual enlightenment, your enthusiasm -- the least little thing makes you happy. It's very contagious. You give joy to the group through those subtle acts. We consider you one of the jewels in our crown. Be blessed. Go in peace.
(to Vivian) We are delighted to have you with us on the Path of Initiation. You take your joy in life, you take your love of living, and that expands our power to give joy to others. One of your purposes, one of the things that you do as you travel your path is to expand the joy of this world through your smile, through your loving giving, through your sharing of yourself. You have a particular personal grace that others must gather from. And as you demonstrate that grace in your good manners, in your good taste, in the way that you treat other people with kindness and generosity you make our path more joyful. Be blessed. Go in peace.
GLORIA: I wasn't real sure exactly what was going to happen today except for having received the instruction that this was to be a time of reaffirmation of Enid's joy in you and for you and with you. They just simply told me to make myself available, and they would say whatever it was they had to say to each of you. I'm very choked up. I think probably I made it through OK. (laughter and assurances) And that is primarily what our gathering today was all about, is the joy, the joy in the world.
Joy, importance of Abundance, joy and TEACHER: If you are to have all the abundance that the world can give you, you must take joy in it. Consider if you will, a child, a small child whom you love dearly -- one of your own or a grand child, any child. And from your heart you give that child some little token of your love, and the child looks at it in disgust and carelessly tosses it aside, because it isn't what that child thought it ought to have at that moment. Think of the wound to your heart to have your joyful gift refused or unappreciated.
Now consider yourself as a child -- a child at this time in this Earth. And the planet gives you your bodies, the sustenance for those bodies, the environment in which those bodies live. How carelessly do you treat that gift? How much do you show your Mother Earth your appreciation for all the gifts that she gives. If you would be willing to add to our joy, we ask you, between now and next time we meet to do something to express to Mother Earth your appreciation for your particular received gifts.
Planetary gifts Mother Earth, appreciation for Need, driven by Want, pulled by
Now, we have asked you to consider the difference between your wants and your needs. Continue with that assignment. Examine, when you do something no matter how small, but when that enters your awareness, consider what the NEED is that drives you, and then try to find the WANT that pulls you. You want to grow. You want to be spiritual beings. You want to put joy into your life and into the lives of others. You do this through appreciation; you do this through awareness.Each time that you take joy in an activity that you entered upon because you are pulled by wanting to do that, rather than driven by the DESIRE BODY NEED, you have taken yourself a few more steps along the INITIATORY PATH, and you have made our realm much dearer, much more joyful, and much cleaner. With those thoughts we bid you go in blessedness and peace. And the great joy that we have shared with you today, and share with you moment by moment as you go your way, is our treasure. And so you are blessed.
Driven, pulled vs.; Pulled, driven vs.; Joy shared, Teachers' treasure
GLORIA: Let's have a little healing meditation before we adjourn for the Hadiki meeting.
MYRA: I asked a while back for my next door neighbor who has cancer on his back, which turned out to be the worst kind. And so we were praying for him this week. And I ask you to continue your prayers for him. He had a biopsy on Tuesday and it was pure, so his lymph nodes didn't have cancer in them. So please continue to pray for him. He's got a 10-month-old baby. His name is Eric... And also Gloria's mother.
GLORIA: …who is up, out and about. Last Saturday night she was purple and we didn't expect her to live through the night.
JEAN: May I ask for prayer for my daughter-in-law's brother in law. Three little children.
JENIKA: And prayers for my mother. Her name is Violet.
GAYLA: Lydia would like to be included.
GLORIA: Would you like to give the group a report on Lydia?
GAYLA: I talked to her just before we left, and she's home from the hospital. And as far as she knows she's doing very well. She hasn't gotten the report from all the tests. She's staying by herself. She is quite a sweet lady. She's very positive, and her attitude is very loving. She thanks you all for your prayers.
GLORIA: If you are ready, let us center ourselves -- oh look at that beautiful sun (shining through the window on Gloria).
Isn't that wonderful. Let's build the ball of energy. We haven't done that for a long time. (hands rubbing, rotating together) Let's just build energy; energy is all colors. And as you move your hands, allow them to separate so that the ball of energy can become greater and greater and greater. And if you move your hands towards each other, you can feel the pressure between them. That ball of energy is a physical phenomenon -- it is real. Let that ball of energy grow crystal clear, and as large as it will grow. .... When you are ready, let's gently place our balls of energy on the floor and roll them towards the center. And as they come together, they unite in a huge pool of crystal clear energy. And as you bring your hands back, palms together in front of your heart, see that pool of energy begin to turn lavender, that beautiful rainbow lavender... This is the color that protects you from radiation... Let's get that pure, beautiful lavender very clear in our minds...
Now, in your imagination, step into that pool of lavender energy. Immerse yourselves in it. Feel its protective quality. Feel its cleansing, healing quality... Feel the vibration of the energy as it permeates your very being -- it's as though that permeation of that lavender energy allows you to have a sense of measurement even, about your spiritual being. And you feel that greatness of spirit that you are, that greater I AM-ness that is above and beyond and outside of surrounding all that you are... All of your potential, realized and unrealized...
And then take great joy and frolic as though you were playing in a pool of water. Splash and enjoy, and be healed and cleansed. And since we're having so much fun, let's invite others to join us. Call their names -- come and join us, come and play. Come Ravella, come and play with me. (many others invited) ...
Now after our guests have immersed themselves and have joined us in our joyousness, like children who splash, let's scoop great hands full of that energy and toss it high. Scoop and toss, and scoop and toss -- all of us together, laughing, joyous, having fun. (general sounds of glee). Don't you feel the excitement, the cleansing, the purity. ... And let's splash all of that water into the sky, and let's make a huge healing cloud of lavender energy. Let it grow so large that it surrounds our globe, and protects and heals wherever it goes -- anyone who will accept the joy of being whole... Now release it to its destiny path. Release your loved ones to return to themselves. Bring your hands together before you, and in your own way, in your own heart express your gratitude... We give thanks to the Teachers who have been with us today. We are joyful in your companionship. We are deeply grateful for your continuing companionship, for your support, for your instruction, for your reassurance, and all of your healing help. And so we go in the blessing of the Teachers and in the blessedness of each other. With joy, the great joy in Earth. And so it is done.
GLORIA: Could you ask for anything better.
Are we adjourned to Hadiki? (agreed to have a stretch after singing "Joy in Earth" again. (done)
