Session #134 – April 19, 1992
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Betty, Bill, Edith, Jean, Jnana, Joni, Myra, Peter, Sidney, Vivian, and
Gloria with Gladiss from the Temple Teachers. (9:00 a.m., Sunday at Edith's)
(Following an elaborate Hindu Puja (flower worship) service conducted by Jnana, the
channelling portion opened with a brief attunement: three Aa Oo Mm's, invoking of
Khamael (I am eternal life), Gabriel (I will Divine Will), and Tzadkiel (Divine mercy,
love, compassion, joy, and peace are infinitely reproduced).
GLADISS: Good morning and welcome. My name is GLADISS. We have not
met face to face before, but I come to you on this special occasion because we have much
to discuss. There are many questions that you have that need to be answered, and I am
here at your service.
(Gladiss speaks slowly, often hesitating apparently to find the correct word. Her
voice is soft and manner gentle -- not so much so as Judith, but more than Sheariam. She
inserts more frequent and longer pauses between statements than the other Teachers, and
she uses frequent gestures.)
Let me first explain to you some of the purposes that lay behind what we
have given to you so far about HADIKI.Hadiki is that union of beingness that enables
total trust and complete support of one another. It is family in its highest idealistic sense.
As your modern society allows your family unit to disintegrate, it is more and more
important that you have a HADIKI FAMILY.
When Hadiki concept was first given, we chose two factors of your life to
emphasize. We choose the word "factor" because it represents both DIVISION and
TRUST, because the true HADIKI IDEAL integrates the individual into a separate unit
while it functions in full trust as a part of a greater whole. If you are to continue on your
PATH OF INITIATION, this concept must be fully grasped. And you must put it into
practice.
We first gave you instruction about your MONEY and your
RELATIONSHIPS, because these are the two factors of your modern life that separate
you and isolate you.And Hadiki is not isolationist; it is integrative. It is the one
supporting the whole while maintaining SELF COGNIZANCE. It is only through self
cognizance that you can QUANTIFY YOUR QUALITY; that you can become
VOLITIONALLY INDEPENDENT. You must give to the whole voluntarily. You must
do so out of love, not out of NEED, but out of WANT, because that is the QUALITY of
life that you wish to have.
We bade you to give of your sustenance a certain amount of money in a
certain length of time. This was for your consciousness, not for any benefit to us -- not
actually to any benefit to anyone but yourself. In your giving, your consciousness was
affected, because you were giving of that medium of exchange which enables you to
maintain certain status, to have a certain self cognizance ideal of yourself.It was not in
the concept that what was given would be used in any particular manner, although, by
suggestion you were given to believe that it would be for emergency funds. And that
usage would have been perfectly satisfactory. It is even now satisfactory if it is to be
used that way.
But now the challenge is: you have combined funds. You have HADIKI
SUBSTANCE. Now you must meet the challenge of group agreement as to how those
funds are to be used, if the individual is to support the group. Do you follow the concept?
(barely audible sounds from group) Very good.
Now, it is time that we tell you that your country heads of state, those upon
whom you depend to keep your nation whole and operative, are so corrupt that your
NATION is on the threshold of disintegration. This could happen at any moment. When
such an event occurs, all GOLD and other precious metals will be confiscated. No
private individual may hold any such substance. That is why we have told you to gather
silver. SILVER you may retain and use, and it is its intrinsic value which will be
important. It does not matter how much in your national values you have paid for that
silver. It is what the silver will do for you when you need it.
This is also why we have instructed you to make SOAP. You will find that
soap will be the next thing in value to silver. It is also something that will be a sustaining
item in your survival wherever you may find yourselves.
Now, you have had the concept that you would be EVACUATING your
geographical area all simultaneously, and this has been alright for you to believe. But
now it is for you to know that this is not true. Some of you will not go anywhere. Some
of you will go at one time, and some of you will go at another. The choice has not yet
been made. The threat of GEOLOGICAL CHANGE to this immediate area has not been
diminished or ameliorated. It is also imminent, so you are facing a double challenge --
that of your national economic survival and that of your local geographical safety of your
person.
Some of you have evolved along your pathway to where you have
recognition that your PHYSICAL BODY is merely a shell and can be abandoned without
regrets. And there are some of you who have not yet achieved that state of cognizance.
It is that state of cognizance that will determine your action in any given state of sudden
change. Therefore, we cannot give you itemized detail as to who will go and who will
stay and where you shall go.
It is wise that you agree upon a RENDEZVOUS POINT for those who will
go at the same time. But that does not lay any obligation on any particular person to take
advantage of that agreement. In Hadiki you have the tolerance that you allow each to do
whatever it is he wishes to do, no matter that you may think that you know better. You
do not know better except for yourself. This is why we have attempted to aid you in
discovering the difference between your NEED DRIVES and your WANT GOALS.
WANT has to do with QUALITY. Want is the quality you put into your
NEED. And when you live in QUALITY, your NEEDS are simply the engine -- it
simply enables you to move.The WANT is your fuel. And the INITIATE always has a
full tank of fuel.
Now I can hear the questions -- they are flooding. And I am at your service.
JENIKA: Gladiss, Happy Easter. You mentioned silver, but you didn't mention
gold. Is gold also something viable for us?
GLADISS: I did mention gold -- you were not listening. (Myra: They're going to
confiscate it, remember?)
JENIKA: Oh, yes. As far as holding on to it, I mean as far as making a purchase
of it.
GLADISS: Do not. Do not waste your time and your energy!
MYRA: But other metals would be wise, like platinum?
GLADISS: No! You did not listen. (group comments: "Just the silver")
JNANA: Gladiss, at one time we were told that we would learn of some special
ingredients for SOAP.
GLADISS: Indeed, yes. (J: Could you enlighten us?) Very well. You have a
basic formula for soap. If you have been doing your practicing, you know how to make
soap saponify -- your basic ingredients of fat, water, and caustics.
Now, there are basic uses for soap. Primarily you use soap for cleansing, but
you can also use soap for HEALING.And one of your primary healing soaps is
OATMEAL. If you have the opportunity to have possession of oat that has been rolled or
in some way broken down, you have an advantage. If not, then you must first treat the
oat grain so that it is broken down, and the harsher properties removed. That product that
you can now purchase that is a rolled grain is sufficient for use at this moment in time for
you. And it should be prepared as a very thin gruel. Cook it until it has no hard
substances in it. When you have cooked it to that degree, it can then be filtered through a
loosely woven cloth until you have a liquified product. Substitute half of your water with
this gruel in your formula. And then proceed with your soap-making process as normal.
This soap can be used to heal skin rashes, to soothe skin burns such as
sunburn, burns by nettle, scrapes of the skin -- any kind of external damage to the skin
can be treated with this soap except such damage that goes below the epidermis. The
soap cannot be used on fleshy parts. Do you understand? (Yes) Good.
Do not use any substance that has any caustic in it on any fleshy part that has
no dermis left, such as in the case of third degree burns or open gaping wounds. But
where there is derma layer, soap may be used effectively. The oatmeal soap is soothing
and healing, and provides a protein in a condition that the derma cells can absorb directly
for their regrowth. It also is a soap that can be used very effectively for cleansing tender
skin -- face, hands, even children, but not small infants. Any question? ... Good.
BETTY: Some soap now has just the plain rolled oats in it too -- is that
advantageous?
GLADISS: That is advantageous, but does not have the oat broken down
sufficiently that the nutrient can be absorbed directly by the skin cell, and it has
somewhat of a rough texture. Good for cleansing skin.
BETTY: So we could even take soap and add the oats to it, for a scrubbing kind
of soap. (G: Yes.)
GLADISS: Now, another healing soap that is good for some burns: Take fresh
ALOE plant and grind it to as much of a pulp as you can, and then also filter it through a
loosely-woven cloth so that you have as pure a jell as you possibly can manage to obtain.
This jell may be added to the melted fat before you add the caustic. It should, when
combined with the fat, be brought to that temperature that you need for saponification.
The amount of aloe added to the fat will require a reduction in the quantity of water used
with your caustic. And we cannot give you specific formula because aloe plant has
varying amounts of fluidity. As you work with this formula, you will develop a
technique of judging the fluidity of the jell that will tell you how much reduction to
make. Just as a rule-of-thumb, the more fluid the gel, the more water reduction.
The ALOE SOAP can be used as a preventative for sunburn. It is very
healing for cuts and bruises, and can be used on flesh parts not covered by derma if the
caustic used has been greatly reduced. So you must develop a formula of soft soap that is
like the consistency of hand cream, but you need the caustic to make it saponify.
Now there are other uses for the ALOE JELL, but we are at this moment
speaking of soap.
BETTY: A question here: COMFREY, the root in particular, has many of the
same properties as aloe. Can it be used also?
GLADISS: It can be used. It takes more cleansing of the fibers. It takes more
preparation of the plant than does aloe. If you are where you do not have tools, you can
make soap with aloe without tools. This is not true of the comfrey.
BETTY: How should the comfrey be prepared?
GLADISS: It must be washed thoroughly. It must have no vestige of soil, and
then it should be ground to that degree that you can filter it through a loosely-woven
cloth.
BETTY: It should not be simmered?
GLADISS: The caustic will cook the comfrey. It will also cook the aloe, will
cook the oatmeal. When you cook it before adding to the soap, by the time you have
saponification, the medicinal value is very well cooked away.
JONI: You mentioned making the gruel with oatmeal. Can the gruel itself be
used as a healing agent?
GLADISS: Absolutely -- in packs, spread upon bruise. It is beneficial both
internally and externally. It is tremendously healing to any perforations to the intestines,
as a gruel. Taken in any quantity the patient can manage to swallow. It is completely
nutritive as well as healing.
JNANA: Gladiss, I believe that at one time it was mentioned that the soap that
we were going to learn about would be good for radiation, should there be a proliferation
of nuclear radiation. Is this the aloe soap?
GLADISS: No. We have not gotten to that yet. Another purpose of soap is to
protect yourself and your environment from invading PESTS -- fleas, ticks, and such
creatures. To this end you would make EUCALYPTUS soap. Wash your clothes and
bedding in it, and yourselves, and all of your animals, depending on the degree of
infestation of the pest that you wish to rid yourselves.
Eucalyptus leaves can be ground and gently simmered in minimal water.
When you have cooked down this soup, it too should be filtered through a loosely woven
cloth and added to the fat before the caustic, in the same way that you do the aloe. And
the same rules would apply. The reduction and water would depend upon the soupiness
of your eucalyptus additive.
Now the eucalyptus bark can be used in a similar manner. It must be broken
down by grinding, and then a tea made. Rather than boiling, allow it to steep. It is most
effective if allowed to make like "sun tea". Set it outside and let the heat of the sun steep
the best of its nutrients into the water. (after grinding)
MYRA: Isn't the longer you leave the sun tea out, the stronger of course it gets.
(G: Correct) So that would require a reduction of water. (G: Correct) So if you left it
out there for 3 or 4 days, that might be better?
GLADISS: Yes. The stronger you make it, then the less water you must reduce.
So your formula for making the soap then maintains itself. If you're used to using a
particular ratio of fat to dissolved caustic, the stronger the additive, the more you can
retain the original formula, you see.
Now, to make a soap that will be RADIOACTIVE protective, you must use
PURPLE FLOWERS -- any kind of purple flower. Violets are best, but they require
cultivation. If you are in the wild, you will have to find those flowers that are purple.
And the flowers must be picked after the dew is gone, and before the mid-day sun. They
should be dry for storage, and the soap not made ahead of time, for it will not store
properly. When you have the dried flowers you will make a sun-steeped tea in the same
mode of which we just spoke, and you will make a very loose soap. The soap will only
be a medium for attaching the properties of the flowers to your skin. Lupine, excellent.
They will not be available in the extremely high altitudes or higher latitudes.
MYRA: So rhododendrons and iris and that sort of thing.
GLADISS: You will find, in the wild, the flowers that you need. Just remember,
it must be purple.
BETTY: Would even a tea from the purple flowers be helpful?
GLADISS: If you are knowledgeable about which flowers you are making tea
from. You do not want to drink something that will annihilate if you are trying to
preserve the body.
BETTY: I was thinking of making a tea to apply on the skin, if there was not
time for the soap.
GLADISS: Yes, if there is not time to make the soap. The soap simply makes it
last longer because it enables the properties of the flower to penetrate the derma.
EDITH: And this is usually the petals -- not the roots or leaves?
GLADISS: Not the roots -- the petals. You will make a dry flower-petal
potpourri, if you will. And once that is made, if it is stored in an air-tight container, the
properties will remain until needed to be made into soap.
JONI: So we could take violets now.
GLADISS: Yes, you could be now, even now preparing your potpourri.
BETTY: Stored in a glass canning jar?
GLADISS: That would be good if the seal is air tight, yes.
BETTY: How about lavender flowers? G: Excellent.
MYRA: So could we put the violets on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven
to dry, with just the pilot light on?
GLADISS: That would tend to diminish the effectiveness of the properties.
MYRA: Just let them dry in the sun. G: Yes. BETTY: Some have said
that even the sun is too harsh to dry flowers, etc. -- it should be done in the shade. Could
you give us some more help on drying?
GLADISS: You need to place the petals on a fine mesh screen where there is free
air circulation and not enough heat to draw the moisture out too rapidly. Direct sunlight
is destructive, but you can put them in the sunlight if you cover them lightly with loosely
woven cloth, and that protects it somewhat.
BETTY: What we use now is cheese cloth. G: Yes. Very good.
BETTY: I have been told that you dry it until it feels like leather.
GLADISS: That is a little too dry. Try to judge by weight. When you hold the
petal in your hand fresh, they will have a substance to them. When they have dried to
where the petal feels like paper, that is dry enough so there is some moisture left, but not
enough to cause mold.
BETTY: Back to the eucalyptus -- can that also be used as a spray on plants?
GLADISS: The tea of the eucalyptus, yes.
BETTY: Is it necessary to make it into a soap.
GLADISS: The soap, however, has a property of protecting against other types of
pests.
JEAN: You use eucalyptus oil?
GLADISS: If you have access to the oil, it is already prepared for you. You can
put the eucalyptus oil directly into the fat of your soap.
BETTY: Any proportions? Smell or any guidelines you could give us for this?
GLADISS: In your measures, to four cups of fat, two ounces of oil would be an
abundance. That is the oil -- that is the essence. That would make an extremely strong
pesticide soap.
BETTY: We could make some now and experiment on my little dog.
GLADISS: Now is the time. This we have been saying to you for long. ... And
remember that the soap is an item of barter.
Now, another soap that is extremely beneficial is made with BAY LEAVES.
You use the bay leaf now in your cooking. I believe you also call it "laurel", do you not?
MYRA: Some people say that the laurel soap is not quite bay, and it isn't as
strong as bay.
JEAN: Is that the ordinary laurel that is in hedges? (No)
(The bay leaf is from the laurel tree (Laurus nobilis), a native of the Mediterranean area.
California Laurel, also known as Oregon Myrtle, has a similar leaf with a similar pungent
aroma. It is also in the laurel family. opc)
GLADISS: The bay leaf is treated the same as the eucalyptus leaf in your soap
formula. Its properties are the aromatic that, by putting the soap on your skin, the
aromatic has impact on consciousness and enables you to defend yourself through
consciousness against attack by thought.
Before you are physically attacked in any way, someone has to have the
thought of attack, and then has to have the thought of you as the target of attack. It's as
though wearing the aromatic of the bay you have cloaked yourself in invisibility -- you
become non-target.
PETER: Can we grow the bay plant around here, or do we have to get it from
some place else? I wonder what a bay plant even looks like.
MYRA: You can buy it here. I was given a branch of it about two weeks ago
that was grown here, and it's nice and strong.
JEAN: Would Bach flowers made of bay act just the same way?
GLADISS: The preparation of the Bach flowers is a totally different process. It is
based on a different principle.
JEAN: Then they wouldn't work in the same way.
GLADISS: Not in the same manner. They have a proclivity to affect other
aspects of the consciousness. You are fortunate that you have access now to essential
oils. Our advice is predicated on your not having such access.
BETTY: Which may be in the future.
GLADISS: Indeed, it will be. And in the not too far distant future.
MYRA: So if we could get the essential oils of say aloe, or the essential oil of
eucalyptus.
GLADISS: The oil of the eucalyptus you can obtain now and store effectively.
The aloe plant can not be. If you are to make soap from the aloe, you cannot take any of
your commercially prepared aloe jells for that purpose. You must take the plant and
prepare the plant at the time of making the soap. It must be fresh.
JEAN: Is there an oil that you can get from bay?
GLADISS: Yes there is an essential property that can be imbedded in anoil.
BETTY: It would be well for us, however, to start and keep plants of bay,
eucalyptus, purple flowers -- have the access to those.
GLADISS: One of the things that will happen -- there are two of you -- and I
know you are going to want to know which two, and I cannot tell you (laughter). But
there will be two of you that will remove yourselves from this area, not in a time of
emergency, but by determination of a want. And you will live -- you will be present
where eucalyptus grows almost naturally, although it has been imported to that area. And
you will be the suppliers for that. So do not hasten to acquire immediate personal supply,
except those which you can use in the near future.
MYRA: Would dried eucalyptus leaves be as good as fresh?
GLADISS: If dried properly. Eucalyptus leaves dried are also excellent for
putting in your home, under your mattress, in the corner of your basement, in the eaves of
your home to keep your home pest free.
BETTY: We've been told that bay leaves do that.
GLADISS: They too will be of great advantage for certain pests.
BETTY: In Mother's cabinets, I found the bugs in the bay leaves. The bay leaves
were probably very old.
GLADISS: Remember that the bay advantage is in its aromatic properties, and in
its SUBTLE BODIES impact. Eucalyptus has a very physical property which makes it
antipathetic to many pests.
BETTY: Many of the herbs and even the essential oils that we can get, now have
unfortunately been fumigated coming into our country and have perhaps had herbicides
used on fields. How much does that diminish the properties?
GLADISS: Almost 100%. That is why we urge you to use native plants, and to
do it yourself.
PETER: I have some soap with a small amount of Melaluka oil from Australia.
How effective is that?
GLADISS: Not as effective as advertised. Your tea tree oil is very effective
where your tea tree grows (Australia). But we have many times told you that importation
is prohibitive of full function. Native plants are your best allies.
BETTY: I have this urgency to ask you about peppermint and its use in soap or
whatever.
GLADISS: Peppermint tea can be reduced and used in the same type of formula
as previously given. And that too is good for prohibition of pests -- its aromatic property,
when using the soap as a medium of distribution. It allows more of the mint aromatic to
remain on the body, and thus affect consciousness. It has a cleansing effect on
consciousness.It seems to enable one to more clearly hear the subtle voices.
BETTY: Can it be used in combination with other things too?
GLADISS: Probably more advantageously than some other herbs.
BETTY: It might be alright to add some with eucalyptus or even with the bay?
GLADISS: I would not suggest that you use mint with eucalyptus. That would be
far too strong. But mint used with aloe would be excellent.
SIDNEY: I was reading this week that if you had a water supply that got
contaminated, if you boil it first and then add peppermint, rosemary, sage, or thyme, and I
think one other ingredient, that that acts as a final cleansing for the purification of the
drinking aspects of the water. G: Yes
JEAN: What can you say about poison oak?
GLADISS: It's painful. (laughter) Oatmeal soap is very effective if made into a
moist paste and applied to the affected area of the skin rash.
JEAN: Does the poison oak plant itself have any medicinal qualities?
GLADISS: Only for some people. But the people to whom it could be of benefit
have so many other avenues that it is not the best selection.
EDITH: What will be our best source of purified water -- the best way of
purifying water if we need to?
GLADISS: It depends upon your circumstances and what you have at hand to
work with. If you have any charcoal -- if you are in any way able to produce charcoal
that you can filter impurities, and then boil the water. Also, if you have the time, you can
provide a rock filtering system by putting a reservoir at some degree of height, and filling
a tube with gravel, and allowing the water to filter down through the gravel, having first
fired the gravel to purify it.
JNANA: And would the gravel have to be repurified occasionally?
GLADISS: Certainly. Which is no great process. You build a little fire, and you
provide some kind of support, a screen, and scatter the gravel upon it. And do not let the
flames touch the gravel, but allow the heat to surround and purify.
MYRA: And how long would you need to do that?
GLADISS: When the rocks reach a temperature that water sizzles when sprinkled
on them.
BETTY: Why not right in the fire like sweat lodge rocks -- those cannot be used?
GLADISS: Yes. Those could be used, but depending upon where you are, such
rock as you might gather might have such moisture content that when exposed to the
flame would explode.
JENIKA: How do you see us obtaining our food?
GLADISS: Again, a generality is very difficult because you will not all be
together. Some of you will have gone in advance, determined by purposes of your own,
and will have garden growing. Some may have to take flight and thus must be prepared
according to the instructions already given. As you can see it would be difficult for us to
give you instructions without making them highly individual. We do again emphasize,
do not store food, because you will be vulnerable to attack. It's as though the food's own
subtle bodies reaches out to say to the hungry, "Here I am; come and get me."
JENIKA: I make wine, Gladiss, and I'd like to continue making wine after these
changes occur.
GLADISS: You will always find something to make your wine, and we do have
one special message which now seems to be the appropriate time. You must learn how to
make dandelion wine because that is a heart strengthener. That is the medicine of choice
for people who are unable to have access to the medical community which their
consciousness thinks it needs.
BETTY: I want to know how you do that. Those of us who have access to
dandelions, we should go out and pick them, and then start from that point -- do we make
a tincture?
GLADISS: Dandelion wine and a wine with tincture of dandelion are two
separate things -- totally different consciousnesses, different subtle bodies. The wine
made directly from the dandelion plant carries the properties of heart medication. A
tincture of dandelion put into another wine must combine its consciousness with the
consciousness of the substance of the other wine.
SIDNEY: I'm trying to talk Jenika into making cherry, strawberry, and I hadn't
mentioned dandelion but it was on my list, using honey and lemon juice, which she
brought up as a possibility. Would that be a viable product?
GLADISS: Indeed, yes.
JENIKA: What do you see to overcome the lack of yeast that I could buy in the
store?
GLADISS: The air is full of spores. All you have to do is give it a medium in
which it may (grow).
JENIKA: It will have to be drunk soon. It would be weaker in alcohol and would
be susceptible to spoilage. But that's OK. I always want to be making wine, so I feel
good.
GLADISS: Yes, you will not be making things to store for ever and ever. The life
style demanded of you will be very nomadic, very temporary. You cannot burden
yourselves with many impedimenta to have to detach yourselves from, or figure how to
take with you.
BETTY: Before we get off of soaps, I have some other burning questions to ask.
I have made some lavender oils, safflowers, calendula oil. And then I would like to ask
about the fats for soap. Could you speak about any advantages with these, or if we need
to work at growing them. Calendulas keep growing up all over my place.
GLADISS: Yes, calendula is an excellent additive to soap, particularly for its
consciousness expansion property. It should actually become an altar soap, if you will --
a holy soap, one to be used in rituals, one to cleanse the body before meditation, one to
clean the altar items, to wash the hands with before handling holy ritualistic items.
BETTY: It should not be used every day then, or casually?
GLADISS: Not casually -- used with honor, with consciousness of what you do.
MYRA: So calendula affects the consciousness rather than the physical body's
healing qualities?
GLADISS: Of course the physical is affected. You cannot handle or use anything
holy that does not affect the physical.
SIDNEY: One of my herb books says that when calendula is taken internally, it
has some very fine healing properties for certain things.
BETTY: I have two juicers right now. While we have access to these, can some
of these plants just be juiced, and this juice be used with the soap?
GLADISS: Excellent, excellent. As long as you are living where you have power
sources to use your appliances, by all means do so. BETTY: And in using, for
instance, calendula, would you use the entire plant -- the flowers, the leaves, the stem, the
roots.
GLADISS: It is a holy plant. All parts of it, as long as all vestiges of soil are
removed.
BETTY: And the rosemary and the lavender -- any comments on those.
GLADISS: Lavender, of course, has to do with protection. The rosemary has to
do with memory. Roses enhance the immune system.
BETTY: And the roses. How would they be best prepared?
GLADISS:All of the rose petals may be used in a potpourri as described
previously. You may use essential oil of rose to add to soap. And the rose hip when
added to soap, enables the body to extract vitamin C directly into the derma.
BETTY: Now would that be grinding it up, or dry it and then grind it or pulverize
it?
GLADISS: Grind it while fresh. Steep it, and use the elixir.
BETTY: Would now be an appropriate time to ask about the fats to be used in
soaps.
GLADISS: Certainly. It is unlikely that you will be able to derive sufficient oil
from plant life to make soap in the quantities in which you will need it. So you must
accustom yourself to the concept of using animal fat. The most advantageous healing fat
is that of the sheep because of the lanolin property. A lanolin soap is extremely healing
to the physical cells -- the derma -- and in some instances to the flesh beneath. Again,
you must use judgment. If the soap is caustic, it should not be used except to stop
bleeding. But a pack of lanolin soap on an open wound will cauterize and stop the
bleeding sufficiently long enough for the wound to be attended by the proper person who
has knowledge of stitching and healing. Lanolin soap is an excellent product to be used
daily on the body and the hair. It is not a soap appropriate to washing clothes or bathing
animals, unless your animal has some kind of skin irritation.
For strong cleansing soaps to clean properties such as clothing, home,
furniture, and that sort of thing, a beef fat or a strong hard fat of that nature is best as the
base. For thin soaps for lotion types of soap, chicken fat -- any kind of poultry fat,
chicken fat being the thinnest, but duck or goose. Goose fat is very rich and makes an
excellent skin treatment soap. Rabbit fat is not as good as poultry fat, but can be used.
Wild animal suet makes also a firm soap similar to the beef. Possum has high fat content,
and that oil is similar to the sheep, but does not make as hard a soap.
SIDNEY: If animal oils are hard to come by, what kind of plant oils could we
extract?
GLADISS: It is difficult for us to advise you on that at this time, because
whatever would decimate your animal population would also decimate your plant life.
MYRA: And the imported oils from palm oil and coconut oil wouldn't be as
good?
GLADISS: If you have access to them, of course.
BETTY: Now I have been experimenting with rendering, and I would sure like a
bunch of advice on rendering to have the best end product to use. Books say boil it with
salt after you have heat rendered it etc. and vinegar, and I've found out to have its
disadvantages. Could you help on good ways to render the animal fat?
GLADISS: Slow, low heat, placing the fat on a rack and allowing it to drip into a
container. If you have, or can construct something like what people use as a smoker,
something that will allow sufficient heat to melt the fat and yet a clean depository for the
rendering, and then use it just as it is rendered. Additional treatment of the fat destroys
some of its properties of maintenance. The more slowly the fat is rendered, the more
efficient it will be for you in its use. If you are unable to render in this fashion, boiling
the tissue, and allowing it to cool, and taking the fat as it gathers from the top, is probably
the next best. But that gives you an impure product which should be further cleansed by
remelting and filtering.
Now, poultry fat and small animal fat will have to be extracted through the
steam method, and then later melted again and filtered.
BETTY: Now, by steam method -- put it on a steamer over boiling water, and let
it drip into the boiling water -- it that what you're saying? (G: That is one way to do it.
Yes.) Otherwise it could be on a rack like in the oven and let it drip off that way. (G:
Yes.) And use that first time ideally rather than put it through any other process. (G:
Yes.) Salt or vinegar water or anything else like that.
GLADISS: For your strongest, hardest saponification.
BETTY: OK. And the more it's processed or the higher the heat, the more
difficulty there is in the saponification? (G: The looser the fat molecules. Yes.)
BETTY: Then how about the vegetable fats -- where do we start?
GLADISS: That will be your last resource. You may not be pushed to that
degree. I would not worry about that at this time. I would not completely forget about it.
You might be placed in a circumstance that you would need to make some soap out of a
processed oil such as corn oil, safflower oil. But it is unlikely in your lifetime that you
will be put in the position of having to harvest the plant and extract the fat.
BETTY: In playing with this in my mind, I looked at nut trees and I thought the
black walnut tree is fascinating in that it has so many properties. I even thought of that
possibility of using that for soap. And it seems to have other properties.
GLADISS: Indeed it does. The black walnut has a lot of healing properties. In
the leaf of the tree, in the bark of the tree, in the nut shell, and in the nut itself. (B: Could
you enlarge just a little more?) The scope is so extensive. ... It is unfortunate that your
society has become so lazy that it has allowed the black walnut to almost disappear. ...
(Gladiss apparently groping for words.)
EDITH: Would you address the types of emergencies that we might have to think
about?
GLADISS: This area will experience a severe earthquake. Your freeway passes,
your bridges will collapse. Your tall buildings will not survive. It is our plan that those
of you still here will have advance warning and remove yourselves. But there are some
of you who will not leave your homes, and you will be left here to accommodate the
consequences of your choice. But the economic situation will influence all of you in
ways you now could not even imagine. And we highly recommend that you be reaching
a group decision about your Hadiki silver. And if you have paper money, you convert
that into silver at the earliest opportunity.
JONI: Gladiss, I have about $100 of Hadiki money which is just in paper money
at this point, so silver would be the investment to make with that? (G: Indeed yes.)
BETTY: And the little one ounce pieces, or should we think in terms of the
bigger pieces?
GLADISS: Keep it in small quantities, and one of the points in advising you to
find a rendezvous place is that you will have a place in which you can bury some of that
silver that all of you, but only you know where it is. So that as you have to traverse over
a geographical area, you will be able to go to that place and take some of the silver to aid
you in your travels.
JENIKA: Gladiss, you said that the authorities will probably confiscate gold and
silver.
GLADISS: I did not say that!
BETTY: If we have gold coins at this time, it would be wise to convert those
then.
GLADISS: Very quickly, yes.
JEAN: I use my gold coins in healing. Can I retain that?
GLADISS: You may retain all of it if you wish. It is just simply our advice to
you, that if you have gold in your possession after confiscation, you will not be able to let
anyone know you have it... So obviously, you could not use it for exchange.
JEAN: I would not use it for exchange. I would use it only for the qualities of
gold in healing.
BETTY: Gold in jewelry would be confiscated also?
GLADISS: To some degree.
BILL: I called Gloria and asked the Temple Teachers if the possibility of this
friend of mine if we could use that for our ten-day joyful retreat. Are we still going to
have the ten-day joyful retreat before we have the earthquake?
GLADISS: Some of you.
BETTY: And you're asking about his location, if that's a good one? (BILL:
Yes.)
GLADISS: You did not ask. (laughter) BILL: Is this place a good place to go
to?
GLADISS: Yes, it is a good place. It is such a good place that you will find many
others there too.
BILL: (In response to a question) It's above Scott's Mill, up there about 17 miles
south of Molalla at the 2300 foot level.
GLADISS: Remember that any place you find to go, others will know of it too.
BETTY: So, to continue with -- what shall we think about? Be prepared for that?
Look for other places? Find private property?
GLADISS: This is private property. There will be no private property. When
people are in panic and in need, they appropriate. And there is no possibility of keeping
people off of private property if that is where they find sanctuary. If you go, you choose
your place, you sanctify it, you dedicate it to your use. But you cannot preserve more
than what you will use. You cannot deny access to sanctuary to other people. But by
dedicating and sanctifying the area that you claim as your own, then it is there to receive
you.
BETTY: The thought comes to me that it would be well to go ahead and dedicate
it and sanctify it even...
GLADISS: And make your plans. You realize that any group of people who are
outside of their home are going to need a number of things, conveniences in order not to
despoil the area. You should plan for those things -- your cooking pit, your elimination
processes must be considered, your drinking water resources, your food storage. Where
are you going to keep your clothing and bedding that is free from animals, other people,
pests. Consider what it means to live in the open for ten days.
VIVIAN: Gladiss, where I am now, I'm making my home. It will be an ideal
place.
GLADISS: And you will have plenty of people who will find it.
VIVIAN: And so will it be -- will I have a lot of people like I'd like to have
Hadiki come, those who can make it there.
GLADISS: If you select a place, dedicate it, and sanctify it, then that becomes a
refuge, and some of the people will go there.
BETTY: But you were saying that a lot of other people will also head for that
area.
GLADISS: Yes. Does it not seem improbable that only the 15 or 20 of you will
be the only ones to see such emergency?
BETTY: No. If we speak in terms of a more permanent migration -- you spoke
of two who would be in an area that grew eucalyptus. Can you give us any more ideas
about areas of that kind. There was talk of Montana, Central and Eastern Washington.
Can you give us some more ideas, even if we just play with it in our minds?
GLADISS: The safest place in the future economic and oppressive times to come
for those of you on this particular continent at this latitude lies between the range you call
Cascades and the range called Continental Divide (questioning tone re. name). There are
mountains between those two points that offer refuge. Some will go to elevations where
there is only rock. Some will find refuge in forested areas. You will not all be together
in what you call the future time.
JENIKA: Gladiss, we were prepared for this in 1989, and it did not occur. So
what are the chances that this will or will not occur.
GLADISS:I cannot predict what people will think.
JENIKA: So these changes are predicated on thought?
GLADISS: Of course. All things are predicated on thought.
JEAN: Can you say anything about the people who will remain?
GLADISS: What would you have me say -- to identify you? Or to tell you that
you will not be here that long?
EDITH: I'd like to address that question too. I'm concerned about the
responsibility for important property that we have. In the event of a disaster, are we to
maintain responsibility?
GLADISS: What will there be responsibility for if the earth trembles so violently
that buildings collapse?
EDITH: We don't have to clean them up?
GLADISS: Some will. Some will not survive to clean them up. Some will leave
and never return.We cannot predict your future exactly for you. We can only predict
what thought has already established.
This is a lesson in the difference between NEED and WANT. The thought
of humankind has been so motivated by lust and greed, which lies in the level of NEED,
that the earth has had to erupt as a means of cleansing its own consciousness. You had an
eruption in this geographical location about a decade ago. That cleansed this area to a
certain degree. That cleansing process is now going forward elsewhere on your globe.
But that is not sufficient to do all of the cleansing.
The globe must rid itself of some of the bacteria on its skin, and it will do
that through earthquake. Earthquake demolishes high density population areas. If you
choose to remain in a high density population area, then you will have to deal with the
consequences. I cannot predict for you what decision you will make. I cannot make that
decision for you. Therefore, I cannot tell you what the consequences will be. But if you
want a lesson in what this area has in store for it, we suggest that you review the
earthquake that struck Mexico City, that struck in Russia. We could go on and on. But
look at what has happened elsewhere if you want a basis for making your own decisions.
JEAN: You are talking about preserving our physical bodies. (G: If that is your
desire) Can you say something about the transformation into a higher, more evolved
consciousness?
GLADISS: What have the Teachers been talking about for all the time they have
known you? Sheariam has worked very hard to give you that precise information. What
more can we say to you?
BETTY: I have in the past been trying to climb our silo to overcome my fear of
heights. And when I was up there once, it seemed I could see brown flood waters, brown
waters all around the silo. Was that my thought projecting that, or was that seeing what
could possibly happen.
GLADISS: That was both. (almost whispered).
BETTY: It seems to me that if we had a giant earthquake in this area, the dams
might go.
GLADISS: They would go. We have warned you. Sheariam has warned you.
Judith has warned you. Everyone who has come to talk to you has warned you. Yet
somehow you prefer not to believe, and that is alright.
BETTY: There is one other thing that bothers me, and that's that to me I feel
this, and I would like to leave tomorrow. But I feel that I have contracts and
responsibility with family, with the farm, and all this. (G: You have.) So, I keep
wondering, where is my responsibility, where I'm being chicken and just want to leave
the whole thing because of pollution, stress, and everything, and where my
responsibilities lie. Could you enlarge upon that and help clarify the thinking.
GLADISS: As you stated, you have made contracts, and contracts, while
renegotiable, are inviolate. The only way that you could free yourself to leave would be
to renegotiate the contracts with these people. And they would not be willing. And
renegotiation requires willingness on the part of all parties involved.
EDITH: Does an emergency situation supersede contracts, so to speak -- wipe
them out?
GLADISS: It doesn't wipe out the contract. It may enforce certain clauses. Have
you contracted to be the personal care taker? Have you contracted to preserve the body of
another? If you have, then you must.
BETTY: Then that essentially means that living within your contracts you will be
where you will be when it happens, and whatever comes is part of the contract. (G:
Yes.)
Now, another contract, which you see as a contract to take care of another --
how do I put this? I've been very bitchy lately. I feel a great deal of anger at my
husband, and yet I feel that he does not put as much effort on taking care of his health as
he would like for me to put effort, and entangle me in that. I say to him, "It's your
responsibility. I'm not your nurse maid." I wonder if I'm speaking out of line, or if I'm
trying to just shake part of my responsibility. I would like enlightenment on where
responsibilities come with others. I see other people not willing to take responsibility for
their body -- turning it over to the medical profession. And I feel like I have to pay their
insurance, and I feel some resentment of this from that point of view. Could you speak a
little bit more about our responsibilities and our contracts to others? And me being a
bitch.
GLADISS: For you individually, you must examine the contract that you made
when you took up joint domicile with your husband. How much responsibility did you
vow? Only you and he know that. Is he asking for more than you promised? You must
determine that.
As for those who seek help from the medical community for which services
you must pay -- that is part of the consequences of human choice that established this
social conglomerate into which you brought yourself. Feeling resentment against it does
not change it -- it only poisons your own self. Your best opportunity to deal with this is
to leave it to the UNIVERSE to resolve in that whatever is required of you to pay is
supplied by the Universe. If you worry about it, and you make yourself responsible for it,
then you are responsible for it, and you have to put forth the effort to gain the substance
to make that payment.But if you turn it over to the Universe, then the Universe will
make the supply. It doesn't mean that you have to know how it happens, you who
demand detail, specifics -- "I want to know which counter that dime lies on". You do not
need to know that. You do not even need to know where the counter is.
If you believe, if you will accept, then the Universe will give, and the
resolution is then made. Because all things will balance out in the end under
SANDALPHON. That is part of your responsibility in living out the ramifications of the
LAW OF DOMINANCE, is to learn to let go and let HIGHER POWER act upon the
LAWS. Otherwise you tighten the yoke of dominance upon your own shoulders. Does
that help you any?
BETTY: Yes it does. For instance then where health and medical issues and that
come to the fore, what I have thought of doing is just projecting a future where each
person takes a responsibility for themselves.
GLADISS: Wonderful! Wonderful!! Then you help the Universe resolve the
situation with equity. When you resent, every iota of resentment destroys a whole
magnum of your other effort.
BETTY: So immediately, when any feeling of that comes up, I'm going to spread
a whole bunch of jam of projection over it saying, "Hey, this is what it could be".
GLADISS: Indeed. Yes.
BETTY: My being bitchy with my husband -- is that renegotiating a contract?
(G: No.) That's just being bitchy. (G: Yes.) OK, how do you renegotiate a contract
when you're not sure what the contract was in the beginning. I mean, gee.
GLADISS: When you said your marriage vows, what did you vow to do?
BETTY: I don't know. I never got a copy of those -- I asked for a copy and I
never got it.
GLADISS: You do not remember the words that you said?
BETTY: I don't think that I promised to love, honor, and obey. Love and honor,
yes. (G: Cherish.) Cherish till death do us part.
PETER: That's fine. But I am no longer the same man that I was when I married.
Neither is my wife.
GLADISS: But when you made that vow, what was the concept of death? It was
the perishing of the physical body, was it not?
PETER: Wasn't to me. GLADISS: I am not asking you.
BETTY: Then I could see a "yah, but". I don't know at that time whether I had
the concept of perpetuating the physical body at all cost, which I no longer have. I think
there is dignity and honor in death of the physical body in my concept now, and I have
spoken of such to my husband.
GLADISS: Have you made your declaration that you are not responsible for his
physical person?
BETTY: I have. That's part of my bitchyness, as I see it. I'm not willing to baby-
sit his body.
GLADISS: But you must do that in calm, in confidence, in self-assurance, and
with love.
BETTY: Will he listen if I do it that way?
GLADISS: It does not matter. You declare your space, and you maintain your
space. All you are asking him to do is the same.
BETTY: And I have asked that my wish be honored that I not be kept alive by
any artificial means -- not even CPR.
GLADISS: As a matter of COMFORT, and with no intention of opening any
door, your final hours will be spent in a very holy place with a very holy person. And let
that be all I can say.
BETTY: Thank you for the great gift.
JEAN: I've been told that I have fulfilled my contract, and my choice is up to me
now. I have lived longer than I expected. I've been told that I'm to live ten years longer,
and I feel that...
GLADISS: And who told you that? Was it your self? If it was not yourself, did
you make a contract to do so?
JEAN: I guess that's what I'm asking about, but I also feel that I'm being pushed
into completing what I call "the book" now, which is a way of making access to some of
the Teachings we have been given.
GLADISS: You will start it. You will outline it. You will prepare for its
production. Others will complete the project.
JEAN: Then... I had an experience of... that was very important to me. And I
feel that the physical survival is not necessary in one sense, and I guess what I'm saying
is that I want the choice to be mine, but I want to go with knowledge and fulfilling my
responsibility to the contract of the book and my physical family also.
GLADISS:What you do not do in this person, you will do in your larger person.
JEAN: That means that I am released to go when I choose. (G: When you
choose.) But something still holds me here. (G: Because you have not chosen.)
BETTY: When is choosing to go a cop out?
GLADISS: For one thing, you are never allowed to cop out, in your words. Your
DESTINY PATH is determined, and your SOURCE GROUP prevents you from making,
or in implementing decisions that are inappropriate.
BETTY: But they let us go far enough to get into trouble.
JEAN: I've been told to work on relinquishment. What you're saying to me, I
think, is just relinquish, let go, and go with the flow.
GLADISS: Yes, by your very own words. You talk about your responsibility to
your family. That has been fulfilled. It is only in your own heart that you feel they could
not do as well without you. What you don't understand is that they will not be without
you. You will be with them.
JEAN: So I really am free. (G: As free as the birds that fly.)
EDITH: Gladiss, I want to tell you how delightful you are. And if I could hug
you like we do on this physical plane, I would.
GLADISS: I consider myself hugged, thank you. (laughter)
EDITH: I had a couple of things that are of interest to me. One thing is -- Hadiki
and another spiritual family are very important to me on this physical plane. Some of us
are going to go one way and some another -- how do we incorporate Hadiki into ..
GLADISS: You will not lose contact with each other. You will always be family.
Often when children leave home, they go to great distances, they live at great
geographical distances from the parent. But family is never broken; contact is always
there. This is why we encourage, promote, and all but demand that you learn subliminal
communication. ...
GLADISS: The Channel grows weary.
BETTY: I was just going to ask on subliminal communication, there are times
when I feel... my mother comes to my consciousness often, often, often. And then I get
off a card or a note to her, and then I don't even think about her for a while. Is that part of
it?
GLADISS: That is. Yes. That is making contact through the bonding of the
infant with the mother. Prenatally, the bonding was there, infantile bonding. No matter
what has happened in your relationship as you have grown into adulthood, that bonding is
still there. And you still receive that subliminal communication. And you are responding
to it in a much better fashion than you used to.
BETTY: I had a dream that my daughter died. There was that great concern until
I wrote a note, and then that seemed to subside. Is that part of the same pattern? (G:
Yes.)
MYRA: When we look at one another, and we send our loving care and send
blessings each morning as we meditate together -- I guess maybe our thinking about that
person means that they're thinking about us at the same time, maybe?
GLADISS: Not necessarily. When we speak of subliminal communication, we
mean that, for instance: When the time comes that someone in the far reaches of a
mountainous area needs eucalyptus leaves, the person who lives under the eucalyptus tree
will gather together a supply and find a courier that will take it to where it is needed. So
when you feel, when the idea comes to you that you have something someone else needs,
send it off to them. If they are surprised upon receipt, they will ask you "why". And you
can say, "Because I felt you needed it".But only by taking action on your ideas are you
going to know whether or not you are truly beginning to communicate subliminally.
EDITH: Will the circumstances compel us into that sort of…
GLADISS: Oh, indeed yes. Remember, you will always be driven by NEED.
And SURVIVAL is probably the strongest motivation for communication.
JONI: Thank you for coming to share with us. It's been very special to have you
here.
GLADISS: It has been my pleasure. It was intended that I should come to you
quite some time ago. And then as all things change, those plans and commitments had to
be changed, and I demanded that I be given this opportunity today, for it is probably the
last opportunity that I will have to speak with you. I am not going to be with you when
you meet at your planned retreat.
JEAN: Will others be with us then?
GLADISS: Indeed yes. A whole faculty.
MYRA: I believe Sheariam said she would like to have us schedule a special
time to discuss the happening in the Salem retreat.
GLADISS: If those of you who wish further resolution to that wish to do so, she
will be with you when you schedule it.
BETTY: I think Gloria is taking off in a day or so on a trip to start something
new. Is there anything the rest of us can do for her, is there any message for her?
GLADISS: We have such direct contact with her, we do not need third parties
now. But thank you for the offer.
JEAN: She said that she would return, that she was not going to be gone all the
time.
GLADISS: This is not a permanent departure that is imminent. This is to identify
the site and to make preparations to condition the site for her occupation. The balance of
this summertime has been determined by her guidance to be the time during which some
of her personal properties will be transferred. Her permanent departure day is dependent
upon several different consciousnesses coming to agreement.
BETTY: We thank all of the Temple Teachers and Gloria for the privilege that
we've had. We are most grateful.
GLADISS: We appreciate all of you. We love you dearly. And this will not be
your last session with the Teachers (great relief expressed by several), but there will not
be the regular, ongoing, scheduled, planned teaching as you have had in the past.
MYRA: Could I ask a question about the course of study that the Teachers have
brought to us which we have so appreciated on the Wheel of Karma? Would you say that
basically that that material has been given to us in completion, or are there still a lot of
things that we need to hear?
GLADISS: Except for what will be given at the retreat, it has all been given to the
degree that you can grasp it.
MYRA: Yes, some of us have struggled with trying to grasp it.
JENIKA: Gladiss, what is your specialty in the Temple teachings?
GLADISS:I promote HADIKI.
JENIKA: We've been told that there are other Hadiki groups, but that they don't
call themselves Hadiki, and that maybe we would meet up with them. G: That is true.
MYRA: I have seen evidence of that many places where there is a level of
delight and joy and pleasure and trust and support and love.
GLADISS: And you will find more and more of that in the near time to come.
BETTY: I'm going to talk to the group today a little bit more about contributing
to Abundant Life Seed Foundation, that provides seeds for all...
GLADISS: That is an excellent plan. You might even use some of your Hadiki
funds to do that.
BETTY: In other words, it's a good organization and well done. (G: Yes.)
JEAN: Is there a plan for another series of teachings for us? (G: Not for this
group.)
VIVIAN: But there will be for each of those individually who want to? (G:
Yes.)
JNANA: Sheariam last time referred to Sandalphon power center as having to do
with the ability to MANIFEST instantly. Could you give a little more information on that,
or is that way beyond the scope of what we're in?
GLADISS: It is pretty advanced, but let me say this, and I believe Sheariam has
already said this. When you are one with something, then you are it, and so you have it.
Give thought to that.
PETER: Thank you very much. You have resolved a question that has bugged
me for ten years. I appreciate it very much.
GLADISS: And now I must beg your permission to leave you. I have had great
pleasure in your company. But the vessel of the Channel needs my departure. I bless
you all with love from the Temple. We are always with you. Go in joy and great peace.
(Many expressions of appreciation, love, and blessing)
(Closed with singing "Let there be peace in Earth" and "Let there be joy in Earth".)
