Session #135a – May 22 - 24, 1992
Gloria’s Circle
TENTH ANNIVERSARY RETREAT
FRANCISCAN RENEWAL CENTER, PORTLAND
Present: Regular Circle members Betty, Edith, Jenika, Jnana, Joni, Maxine, Myra, Owen,
Peter, Sidney, and Vivian; with Retreat attendees from Redding, CA, Gayla, Len, Patsy,
Kim, and Jeffery; Karen from Bend; and Karlene, Theresa, Polly, Lee, Karl, Phyllis, from
the Portland area; and Gloria with several Teachers from the Temple.
(The first session followed a fellowship supper at the Renewal Center. Circle member
Jean was in the hospital following an auto accident. She sent greetings. Also Circle
member Bill was awaiting surgery on his back.)
(Some introductory material is included for the benefit of anyone not familiar with the
Temple Teachings. Gloria presented a brief summary of the significance of the parts of
our INVOCATION/AFFIRMATION that we use to open a class, study group, or retreat.)
GLORIA: We use the Archangel KHAMAEL, which is the POWER CENTER of
the I AM. We will say "Khamael" three times, and then we will follow that with the
affirmation, "I am the disciplined force of the ABSOLUTE." Now we come upon that
affirmation through the belief system that there is an Absolute, which we cannot grasp
because we are finite, and the Absolute is infinite. But in order for CREATION to have
taken place, the Absolute, which is not organized, organized a portion of itself into
manifestation. That was disciplining its own force.
So that's why I can say, "I am the disciplined force of the Absolute". And that
affirmation produces a connection with your POWER CENTER of I AM to the source of
all being, the Absolute. Some people call it GOD, some people call it ALLAH -- any
religion that has some sort of Godhead is in fact referring or feels toward that as we do
toward the Absolute. So we are addressing the highest beingness that we can
comprehend, when we say "I am the disciplined force of the Absolute”.
The second part of it is GABRIEL, which is the power center of the I WILL. In order for
the Absolute to have disciplined its own force, there had to be some action there that we
likened to WILL -- will is the only way we can understand that action. So when we say,
"I will DIVINE WILL", we are saying that as a disciplined force of the Absolute, we
strive to live our lives in accordance with the DIVINE INTENTION for human
experience. So the second affirmation, after saying Gabriel three times, is, "I will Divine
Will".
Then the first Archangel of our Universal seven is RATZIEL, and we say that three
times. And that is divine IDEATION -- that is the idea of our manifestation, all of it,
both known to us and unknown to us. It is the mover of our Universe, and it is our power
center connection with the mover of our Universe, realizing that our Universe is only a
very small portion of the over-all Absolute manifestation. So we say "Ratziel, Ratziel,
Ratziel. Divine Ideation brings me what I am to learn". So we are asking the power that
gave us life in the first place to give us what we need to live that life in accordance with
Divine Will. So that is the third affirmation.
Then we repeat Khamael three times, and Gabriel three times to go back and make
connection with the power center of I AM and the Power Center of I Will. And then our
next invocation is RAPHAEL. That is the Power Center of PROCESS. We get what we
need from the Absolute, what we need to live the Universal Life, and then we commit to
that Process: "DIVINE PROCESS perfects, fulfills, and completes what I know". That is
the group of affirmations what we use in Circle and in study group to empower ourselves
to get the most out of what we are studying. And then, of course, there are the other
archangels, the other power centers that we use for other purposes, and we may have
some time to discuss some of those.
(Invocation) Center yourselves. Take some deep breaths to relax your abdomen... And
when you invoke, you want to do it briskly, but not too fast. All together (Invoked
Khamael, Gabriel, Ratziel, Raphael with affirmations as above. At completion:) Take a
deep breath, bring your hands together, neutralize. I so declare, and so it is.
OK, we are off. This is to bring people up to speed, because there are people here who
are familiar with the Teachings, but they have not been directly involved in study groups
or Circle, etc. On the wall is the Wheel of Karma as presented to us and as drawn from
the Teachings by Owen. Each level has an abstract from what was said to kind of
delineate what the level is. Now at this work shop we are working from MOTIVATION
to SPECIALIZATION -- that's the third level. The first level is MATTER, LIFE,
ENVIRONMENT, and KNOWLEDGE. The second level is DESIRE, INSTINCT,
PURPOSES, and WILL.
The Teachers told us that that's where human consciousness is today -- at the level of
DESIRE and INSTINCT, moving into the evolution of PURPOSES and WILL and the
perfection of those. And people like us are the pioneers that are moving into the
perfection of MOTIVATION, WANTS, THOUGHT, and SPECIALIZATION to get us
off of the Wheel.
The subheadings of those levels (in the table below) are discussed at greater length in the
transcripts on these, but I suggest that if you do not have a copy of this, you prepare one
for use with the exercises.
* * * * * * *
See s135a_Platforms_rungs.pdf
Now the Teachers have taken us part way through this third level, and their intention is to
take us as far as we can grasp through Specialization this weekend. We're very
ambitious.
They said to me that the aim of this work hop, their aim in suggesting it to me and giving
me this outline and directing me to the material that they had provided, was to clarify the
HUMAN SPECIES PURPOSE for existence. Now when they talk about human species,
they are talking about QUALITY. Each of you represents a certain quantity of HUMAN
QUALITY. That's why everyone human is totally unique. RAPHAEL takes care of that
-- PROCESS guarantees that no two items, no two manifestations of the ABSOLUTE are
going to be identical. So that uniqueness of yours is your QUANTITY. And as you live
your lives, you want to increase that quantity -- you want to live your life in such a way
that you QUANTIFY that QUALITY so that the HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS evolves
enough VOLITION to live on that third level of the Wheel, and not down here in our
INSTINCTS, in the animal kingdom or the animal level. Instead of being driven by your
NEEDS and your DESIRES and your INSTINCTS and your old tapes, you want to be
enough self-aware that you can make conscious, living WILL choices -- I WILL DIVINE
WILL, not Divine Will wills me. That is the option that you have evolved for yourself to
make choices.So they want to clarify the human species Purpose for existence, so the
individual is enabled to make a greater contribution at the personal level through health,
prosperity, and wisdom -- that's how you quantify your quality.
Now HEALTH, of course, is not just a healthy body -- it's a healthy mind, it's a healthy
heart, it's a healthy attitude. You see, when I'm talking about health, I'm talking about all
parts of you working together to the optimum.
And PROSPERITY is knowing and getting what you WANT, not just what you NEED.
So, hopefully in the clarification of this weekend, you're going to develop some
awareness of what you WANT as opposed to what NEEDS are driving you; and, of
course, WISDOM to do with what you learn to take you to your highest potential.
The goal of this particular weekend is to present tools for insight, mental health, spiritual
growth, physical healing, and fulfilling relationships. Now, tools are things like
knowledge, awareness -- they're not just the exercises. It's not just the case of, say I teach
you to center and think the right affirmation and miracles happen. We're talking about
on-going, lifestyle tools for all these optimum results that we want in our lives.
I just love the concise way the Teachers give you stuff -- they don't waste any words,
they don't mince any words. They say all of it very concisely. If I could write that well,
I'd be a millionaire author.
Now, going forward with what I explained to you, EVOLUTION is sort of our
responsibility, you might say. As the Realms INVOLVED down, through the
DISCIPLINED FORCE MANIFESTATION OF THE ABSOLUTE, there came a point
in what we might call time at which that manifestation was required to return something
to the Absolute. And according to what I get out of the transcripts of what the Teachers
have given us, in the EVOLUTION that takes place on planets like ours, on Earth planets
through the experience of the human species, the HUMAN QUALITY increases the
scope of the exercise of FREE WILL, and thus gives us the opportunity to make a
contribution. It's like you give your children a choice out of your gene pool when you
give them birth. The entity selects you as a parent, and out of all the possibilities of your
genes pool, that incarnating entity selects a certain group of attributes to live its life
through.
So, you have made this selection. But within that constraint of white skin, western
hemisphere -- whatever that family environment is which you chose, which includes your
genes -- you have the free will to make of that what you want to make of it. There are
certain things you cannot change. But what you do with what you got is what counts, and
that's where your free will comes in.
So, EVOLUTION is not by accident. This is where Darwin sort of got off the track in his
concept of beneficial selection. It's not necessarily the hardiest or the best, because those
are judgments that we make based on how we feel, based on our experience and what we
have learned from our parents or teachers or whatever. You see, our judgments could be
grossly in error. We have no way of knowing what kind of contribution a defective child
might make to the overall consciousness of the human species. How much volition is
going to be developed by how many people who are involved with a child that society
might say is defective. Even saying the child is defective is a judgment on our part that
we're not qualified to make. We can say the child is retarded only in relationship to what
we know of as normal. That child placed in another environment might be super smart.
We found that at the State Hospital when we had an epidemic of bacterial infection, and
we had to use sterile techniques. We found that people that we had been taught all our
lives were totally unable to learn, could learn aseptic techniques, could help take care of
those patients that were so terribly ill, and love doing it -- that's what the great surprise
was, that their capacity for love knew no limits. But they had never been given an
opportunity to demonstrate that -- they'd always been repressed. Your Down's
Syndrome, you hydrocephalic -- all of these terrible things, because you don't fit the
normal picture of society, you have no rights. But given the opportunity, they saved our
bacon. That one experience changed the whole complexion of the way these people were
treated in the State institutions in California. And now we see these people enabled to
live by themselves in apartments, in synthetic families, so to speak. They're given the
opportunity to shop for themselves, and some of them have jobs. All kinds of potentials
have been found with these people that for years were denied them.
So we cannot make a judgment about another human being. We might recognize that
that human being is a little slower in thought than we are, maybe a little halter in step,
maybe a little more awkward in some kind of dexterity, but we have no way of knowing
what their contribution to the Absolute is going to be.
So you cannot sit in judgment on yourself. You cannot say, "I am unworthy. I am
unable. I am not qualified." You cannot use any negative against yourself, because
you're not in any position to judge. Every day you are learning something new about
yourself. It may be some little, tiny, tiny thing, but every day you learn until you go on to
another dimension. You learn something about this life that you have opted to take this
time. And when you come to a workshop like this, you make giant leaps, giant steps in
that increasing awareness.
There is no such thing as ACCIDENT. It's always CHOICE, but it may be choice at
some level of which you are not consciously aware. Why did you leave your pen home
when you knew you were going to have to use it? Because unconsciously you made a
choice: "I don't want to write what I'll have to write with that pen, so if I leave the pen
home, I won't have to write any." Whenever you find yourself doing something like that,
try to look at a broader scope. Try to see what it is that you're trying to avoid. What is it
that you don't want to do? And get rid of those "should's" and "should not's". "I need to
be a good little girl, so I have to do such and such." That's a bunch of horse hockey.
Now the WHEEL OF KARMA process -- to bring you up to speed, I will review it in
brief. This is in the Circle transcripts.
MATTER is a manifestation, a DISCIPLINED FORCE of the ABSOLUTE. Now, we
have all kinds of scientific theories as to where matter came from -- the "big bang"
theory. Maybe our Universe did come from the big bang. What caused the bang? What
gave the properties to do the explosion? We don't need to know that. If we can deal with
what we've got right now, we're doing OK. So, we know that matter exists. (striking the
table) Matter exists. Matter is simply a cohesion -- we don't know of what. It's a
cohesion of DISCIPLINED FORCE. We know that where there is matter, there is force -
- there's magnetic fields, there's emanation, there's substance. There's some thing.
Remember in the transcripts it says that the Absolute is "no thing". Nothing, because
there is no organization there. Then it manifests, it disciplined it force and it manifest
into "some thing", and for us, that's matter. We struggled for three or four years trying to
understand "rods", but the scientific community has finally discovered this -- there are
certain kinds of arrangements of matter that they call "strings", and they resemble a
whole lot the picture I had in my mind of what the Teachers were saying when they were
talking about rods.
So then out of this matter, this disciplined force, working upon itself, evolves a certain
kind of state of matter that we call LIFE. Now in some other dimension or some other
universe, some other manner, it could be something else. But we can't deal with that
because that's not where we are. We're here in life on an Earth planet. And we're told
that the Wheel of Karma pertains to Earth planets -- all Earth planets and all solar
systems that have evolved according to the choices that our planet has evolved with.
Now, as life is a special state of matter, that state creates an ENVIRONMENT. When
you have an idea, you have a thought, the thought isn't sterile. The thought has potential
and always builds its own environment. That may be a negative environment. You
might say, "No, that's not a suitable thought." or "I don't want to follow that thought
through." or "I don't want to make anything of that." Or you may decide to change it and
create a different environment. But you can only do it through the thought itself.
As life exists in its own special state of matter, it begins to separate and create other sub-
states -- in other words, it has children of a sort. And as something divides, there is an
environment -- there is something surrounding. There is a nest, if you will. As long as
there is only one, one cannot see beyond itself. Only when it divides into two can it see
itself by reflection -- objectivity.
***So that's how ENVIRONMENT becomes created, and KNOWLEDGE becomes then
a possibility.As a matter of fact it becomes a probability, because no awareness can see
even itself reflected in its environment without an increase in awareness. And as
awareness increases, so does VOLITION. The more awareness is built, the more one can
do with that. Choice is beginning. Do you see where CHOICE now becomes an issue?
There can't be any accident. Everything is by choice. You choose what it is you learn.
You choose what it is you know. You choose what you are.
OK, so that's the basic bottom rung of our Wheel of Karma upon which life proceeds in
our planetary existence. And that continues to go around and around and around. Matter
continues to form. Matter continues to become enlivened. Life builds its environment.
And environment builds knowledge. And that process goes on and on and on. And there
are some states of matter that will not leave that rung. You as individuals have some of
that basic rung in you and always will have as long as you are inhabitants of this Earth
plane.
Then the second level: there has to be a leap from KNOWLEDGE to DESIRE. It is one
thing to gather knowledge and gather knowledge and gather knowledge, and we become
sort of immured to what goes on, we're so encapsulated in what we know, and we
become worshipers of knowledge itself. We get stuck in that spot. But the one who
exercises CHOICE makes a big leap from knowing something, to wanting what that
knowledge can bring. And so the second rung (level) is achieved -- you have begun the
second rung of the Wheel of Karma to work your way out of this obligation that has been
built of contribution to the Absolute's experience.
So when you have made that leap from just simply knowing, to a sense of mission -- "I
need to become something" -- to become greater than the sum of your parts, is what has
happened with the human species. Our particular quality has chosen a mission to become
greater, to become spiritualized beings. And it is through that choice that has made us the
ones to go to the third rung. There will always be the occupants of the second rung that
continue to go from DESIRE to WILL. We see a lot of that in people who are addictive
personalities, people who we might say are in a rut. They seem not to want anything to
upset the balance of their days. But the people who want something different, something
more -- they want to be healthy, they want to be wealthy, and they want to be wise. And
so you made the leap to come here. Because you want to work with WANT, and not be
driven by NEED from DESIRE to INSTINCT to PURPOSE to WILL. .. Does that bring
you up to speed on the Wheel of Karma?
Grasping the process of the Wheel, the foundation that we build here is what's going to be
the platform for your leap into living a fully self aware life, and making the greatest
contribution for which you have the potential.
JONI: Will you give an example of MATTER to KNOWLEDGE? Are we
talking about rocks and trees and things like that?
GLORIA: The mineral kingdom on our planet at this particular moment in time is
that bottom rung. There was, according to something the Teachers said several years
ago, they intimated that there was at a time in the history of this planet something even
more elementary than the elements that we now know. So even the elements grow,
however minutely. The rock is not going to be a human being, but there is no human
body that does not have the rock in it. There is no human being that does not have the
animal in it. Until you become totally specialized, as long as you are on the Wheel, you
are going to have all three rungs operative. But why settle for one or two when you can
have all three?
You are always going to be driven by the four S's: Survival, Security, Comfort and
Luxury. It was something I've never gotten down, I guess. I had it earlier today -- it was
four S's. Oh well. These are the drivers of us now. The point is that while we are driven
by these things, we don't want to be limited by them. We want to recognize them as the
engine, but you don't want to sit in the driveway and rev your engine. You want to hit the
road and get to where you really WANT to be. You want to be on that third rung, where
you're making choices out of creative THOUGHT, not just selecting out of processed
information. Second rung people are just computers -- they can only do what they've got
the data to do with. Third rung people creatively THINK -- they participate in the action
of the Power Center RATZIEL.
GAYLA: Why has it taken us all so long to move through the second rung?
GLORIA: Remember that millions of years of evolution for us is just a blink in
the eye of the beholder.
LEN: This third rung has always been available, right?
GLORIA: In potential. It has been utilized by some such as Yogananda.
LEN: To the masses it's available potentially; to a certain few it's already been
utilized. (Gloria agreeing.)
GLORIA: Remember in your Cosmic Consciousness, the Eighth Key is
SINGULARITY? That's SPECIALIZATION. When you can live in total awareness of
your complete uniqueness, you have reached Specialization, and you don't need to be on
the Wheel anymore. You've made the largest contribution you can make through
Evolution, and it's time for you to move on. And there's lots of places for you to move on
to.
In the Christian Bible, Jesus is quoted as saying, "In my Father's house are many
mansions.I go to prepare a place for you."Everybody that has gone ahead of us is
preparing the place for us to come to. But what we are doing is substantiating or
substantively improving the conditions in those places.
The Teachers tell us that we are to them in similar relation as our pets are to us. We are
responsible for feeding our pets, for keeping them healthy, for keeping them safe, for
teaching them their responsibilities, and for encouraging their volitional growth. All
those things are based on love.And in turn, they make our life better.So the Teachers
have a responsibility to us -- to keep us safe, to help us be healthy, and to teach us to
grow. And as we do that, we build better conditions in the realms that, as we go back
through the involved realms by evolution, we make them better and better and better. So
they are helping to build better conditions in the realms above them as we are helping to
build better conditions in the realms above us, as our Mineral, Plant, and Animal
Kingdoms are helping to build our realm of humanness better.
You see, we depend on the Animal, Mineral, and Plant Kingdoms -- we couldn't exist
without them. The Teachers couldn't exist without us. As a Disciplined Force of the
Absolute, the Absolute cannot exist without you -- you are the Absolute. So that is one
of the main reasons why we invoke, "I am a disciplined force of the Absolute", because it
really activates that power center of the I AM. If you are a disciplined force of the
Absolute, then the Absolute's power is your power, and there isn't anything you can't do.
So why settle for less when you can have it all?
We're going to be talking about that, because part of the prison that metaphysicians place
upon themselves is the demand to be perfect. Because the mind is perfect,
metaphysicians think they ought to make their bodies perfect too, but we're not there yet.
So we're going to have some lessons from the Teachers on that. They promised.
OK, in your packet you will find a green sheet entitled "Personal Profile", and behind that
a yellow sheet that says "Sun sign Qualities". Sometime in your own free time, fill out
this upper part based on what you find on the yellow page. Try to be as open minded
about this as possible. Not all of the attributes are going to be fully evident, but you will
have a modicum of all of them.
The sheet behind the yellow one has a series of dates down the left-hand column and has
the sign of the North and the South Node, and on your profile sheet, there is a place for
you to put that information. I started with the South Node, and I'm going to discuss the
reason why right now.
Note: Jean and Jnana have South Node Scorpio, Betty Aries North, Edie Aquarius South,
Owen Gemini South, Maxine Aries South)
The Nodal Axis is a spacial point. It's not a planet, it's just a point in space where the
path of the Moon crosses what appears to be the path of the Sun. What appears to us to
be the path of the Sun is actually the path of the Earth around the Sun, and that ecliptic
and the ecliptic of the Moon around the Earth cross at a point in space. That has been
found through empirical science, i.e., through observation over centuries of time to be
representative of your DESTINY PATH.
Now remember, I said that each of you have chosen parents and a certain locale of a
certain ethnic background, etc., have selected certain genes out of that pool. So that
you're not like your siblings -- same parents, same locale, same economic upbringing,
etc., yet each one is individually unique, different from brothers and sisters. Each of you
has a Destiny Path that that unique entity is to travel. The South Node represents the
programming, attitudes, and habit patterns that the entity has brought with it from
previous or other life experience. The South Node is the one that you come in with.
That's what you brought with you to overcome.
Now, this may not be a character attribute of yours. I gave my sister a mini-workshop so
I could be sure this was going to work. We discussed how her South Node Attributes,
that she had to deal with most strongly in this life time, were not attributes of her own
character in manifestation, but were found in her husband and in her son and in her
daughter and in other members of the family. That doesn't mean that they are not there in
her character, but rather than facing them in her own manifestation, her entity choice was
to face them through her companions that went along her pathway with her. So when you
look at those South Node Attributes, and they do not connect with you personally, don't
say "No". Keep an open mind. You still deal with them in consciousness. And those
will be the things that you will find in even casual encounters because it's something that
the powers that be throw in your face constantly. You may wonder "Why me?" Because
you asked for it, dear. That's the answer I always get.
The Sun Sign represents your individual portion of HUMAN QUALITY. Human covers
the spectrum of all twelve signs. Each one has a Destiny Path to walk, and the things that
you find in the South Node describe what it is that you either have to feel within yourself
or you have to deal with in people around you that you choose to be with. Now those
choices, of course, are not necessarily made consciously. You may rationalize why you
are making the choice, and only find out later. It's easier to say, "That Scorpio looks sexy
to me -- let's get together", than to say, "Oh God, I'm going to have to deal with the issue
of control and suspicion and jealousy and possessiveness." Now remember, when I pick
on Scorpios, there are three levels of Scorpios. They are not all that bad. They are all
effective.
Behind the page that tells you what your nodal axis is (North and South Nodes), there is a
description of the attributes of the North and South Nodes of the twelve signs.
The North Node is what you are going to be reaching for, what you are striving for --
those attributes will show up either in your own character or the character of people
around you, from casual encounter to intense encounter, that demand the very best of
you, the highest, most intense effort that you can possibly put forth. And the more you
achieve those attributes, the better job you are doing of your destiny choice.
The North Node offers you the greatest challenges in your life. The people who have
those attributes challenge you to be and do your very best, to reach your very highest.
And it's very, very hard.
The North Node is not necessarily a positive thing. Remember when I said to you earlier,
you cannot judge by what is expected of you by your culture or your family or your
church or whatever, to be positive. Sometimes you have to do the negative. For instance,
my south node is in Sagittarius, and my north node is in Gemini. Geminis generally talk
a lot. I don't have any air in my chart, except on my ascendant. I should not be able to
speak coherently or well or in public. Not only do I have this in my third house, which is
communication, I have the planet of Saturn in that sign, which says, "No, no, no. You
can't do this; you're not allowed. You're not good enough." But my north node demanded
that of me. All the way through school. I was so shy I couldn't walk across the room if
there were other people in it. And yet the teacher would always call on me to read. I had
the best vocabulary, I had the best voice, I could pronounce my words correctly, I could
read with inflection, and I loved to read. I hated to read out loud, but I was forced to.
The teacher always called on me. I finally learned there was a lot of joy in teaching, and
there is a lot of joy in talking. ...
The challenges of your life, the chance encounters (are significant). The encounter that
took me to live in Redding is just an incredible story. Strange meetings with strange
people in strange places. You have no idea what some chance encounter is going to
bring. I won't tell you the whole story, but I'll tell you where it started. Back in the late
60's to early 70's it was against the law in the United States to own a deck of tarot cards.
People had them, but you had to get them from outside the U.S. Then along about 1971,
somebody like Ace Playing Card dared to publish a deck as a game, and they were able to
market it as a game. I was looking for a deck, and over on Sandy, Jack Schwartz had
financed a girl in a book store. And on the bulletin board in that store was a business
card from Ira Gillet. It said, "If you are interested in psychic healing" or something like
that, "call this number". I called, and it was Ira. And from that point on, this whole
evolution of my teaching, as I'm teaching you right now, came. Up until then I had not
done that kind of teaching. That was a choice; I chose to call. I could have not called,
and my life would have taken another direction. But sooner or later, there would have
been that challenge that would have catapulted me into something like this. So do not
discount the most minute, insignificant event in your life. It could be the basis of the
entire rest of your life. It could change the whole thrust of your thinking and your
contribution.
I had scheduled from 9 till 10 this evening to allow the Teachers to come to talk, and to
have a social hour for us to get a bit better acquainted individually after that, because
tomorrow you are going to be dealing with each other at pretty intimate levels and giving
each other feed back. And I think it's important, because there are some of you that are
not as well acquainted with other members of the group, that you all get a chance to get
to know each other and at least make a person to person connection. Because tomorrow
you are going to find yourselves in relationships to each other that could be
uncomfortable. And the more connection you make tonight the better and more
productive that is going to go for you.
BETTY: Looking at the North Node, I'm looking at the positive attitudes, I pick
up the words competitive, stubborn, authoritarian.
GLORIA: One of the greatest challenges I see happening in your life has been
since you took on the job of postmistress and exercising your authority and declaring
your space -- "I'm postmistress". That's an example.
BETTY: I don't think of "authoritarian" as particularly being a positive trait.
GLORIA: OK. There's your tape playing -- your tape that says the word
"authoritarian" is negative. But it's not to me. Being authoritarian is filling my space and
saying, "You're in my space, and as long as you choose to be in my space you will do as I
want you to do in my space. What you do in your space is your business."
BETTY: That's assertiveness.
GLORIA: No. Assertiveness is being able to say it. I may think it, but if I'm not
assertive, I won't be able to tell you that.
BETTY: The one that bothers me most is "competitive" which I see by and large
as not being a positive trait.
GLORIA: Oh, but if it weren't a positive trait, you would not have gone for
interview. You would not have striven to achieve that appointment, that promotion, that
hiring. You would have stayed on the route or sorting pencils or whatever you used to
do. (Betty says she just wanted the money.) You had to compete with others for that
money, and you did it -- I wouldn't have. I'm non-competitive.
BETTY: No, you've got more foresight than I have.
GLORIA: Not necessarily. Although, I came in with my south node in
Sagittarius. I brought a lot of knowledge with me.
OK, these are some of the things we will be clarifying as we go along.
(In response to a question about the nodes)The South Node represents the characteristics
that you need to bring into manifestation in yourself, that you have to overcome or
relinquish or build on, or they are going to be represented in somebody else that you have
to deal with. If you don't manifest them yourself, then you will choose to associate with
people, you will draw people to you that will manifest those traits that you have to deal
with. And dealing with something means understanding it and coming to terms with it.
(so it's OK)
It's like Betty was saying, "Competitiveness to me is not acceptable". OK, when you
come to terms with the fact that we compete every day -- we compete for space on the
highway, we compete for the size of our paychecks, we compete with everybody else for
the space that we try to maintain. We have to compete. Some people are good at it and
some people are not.
South node is that which you are coming from, but it may not manifest in yourself, in
your own character. It may manifest in the people around you. But it is what you're
coming from - - it's what you brought with you from other experiences, other lifetimes.
The North Node is what you are trying to take out of here.
BETTY: You mean that I am "indecisive, procrastinating, judgmental, and vain"?
GLORIA: In some form, those things would all be true. They may not be
attributes of character that are foremost in your evidence. But you have to deal with them
in other people. Remember that the things that you don't like about another person are
the things that you have inside of you that you don't like about yourself. And they are
often unacknowledged. What you don't like in other people are mirrors of yourself. And
you see, the only person who can clean up your act is yourself. No-one can change
someone else.
You see, the Teachers tell us over and over to QUANTIFY YOUR QUALITY. You
have to increase VOLITION. And in order to increase Volition, you have to Quantify
your Quality. It's like a catch-22, you can't do one without the other. And because we
are not sufficiently self aware, we're not Specialized, we don't recognize the way out of
the rat maze -- we think we are captured in the catch-22. But there is a way out -- spiritual
growth, mental health, physical well-being, fulfilled relationships -- all those things that
the Teachers told us that their goal is to give us tools to work towards. That's our way
out.
(response to a question about vanity) Narcissism, self super over-appreciation. An
example -- my mother's buddy had heart surgery last July and had such a hard time
coming out of that. She had been taking medication and was doing very poorly. But the
minute that she got home from the hospital, she ran right down to the beauty shop and
had a permanent. And all her hair fell out. Her vanity cost her. ... (Comment: That's
instant karma.) Oh, you'll see lots of instant karma in your life, if you are open to it.
* * * * * *
(Preparation for the Teachers following a break.) I'm going to ask you to center
yourselves, collect yourselves, get your space solid. (Jnana led the group in three Ah, Oo,
Mm's.)
TEACHER: Good evening. Greetings and welcome. (responses) (Deep voice,
speaking very slowly, eyes closed) We are most pleased that you have gathered with
your intent to study, to grow, and thus to fulfill our mission in our work with you.
Because of your long day, we will be brief, and we invite you to join us in a closing
meditation.
If you will bring your hands together, and begin to build that field of healing energy. ..
Build it strongly... Feel it... Breathe deeply... Let that field grow... Then wash
yourselves, wash yourselves, wash yourselves clean... Breathe deeply... Build the field of
energy all around, throughout the room... Do you feel it?
Now, for your ailing body, take that strength, that healing energy into your body.
Breathe it in, take it in... Let yourselves rejoice in the healing force... With all the love in
your hearts for those who are in need, invite them. Invite those whom you will to come in
spirit to partake of this sea of energy. (many names softly spoken) On behalf of our
Channel, I take this healing energy into the body... And I express our gratitude to you,
and all of you for your participation, for your loving hearts, for your giving of yourselves
and of your energy...
Now breathe deeply once more. Release this sea of healing energy into the atmosphere
of your planet, that it may make itself available to all who ask for healing this night...
Repeat with me, "Mercy, Love, and Compassion are infinitely reproduced. (done three
times).
And so we release our loved ones to return to their own consciousness. We accept this
healing to the benefit of our bodies, our hearts, and our minds. We thank all who joined
us in this effort, all who came from the Temple, all who came with you. And we bid you
rest well in our love and blessings. And we shall be with you again tomorrow. Go in
peace. (Distinctive, dramatic voice)
(Closed for the evening singing "Let there be joy on Earth".)
(Saturday morning)
GLORIA: Remember that the goal of the workshop is simply to give you tools to
work with. Then it is up to you to take these tools home and put them to work in your
life.And the tools that you will carry away from here are not the pieces of paper that you
write things on, it's what you take away in your head and in your heart that will amplify
your lives.
So for now we need to have a little explanation of the personality profile -- not the
personal profile, but the Personality Profile which you will find a chart for in your folder.
Write your NAME on the chart. You have just staked your claim. That's very important.
You are not named accidentally. Each of you directed your parents, and if your parents
didn't pick up on it, you have arranged to be called by what you need to be called. If your
name is making you unhappy, you'd better find out why, because the vibration of your
name has a lot to do with how you nature. The kind of tools, the human tools of
experience that you develop for yourself, are very closely connected to the sounds that
you utter when you say, "My name is Gloria". I'm talking about ending, maturity, force,
distribution of information -- that's what my name means -- Gloria. Declaring the glory
of the human race and the wonders that you are going to perform, whether you like it or
not. You are human in quality. Someone might call you by animal names, but you're
not, though you may act that way sometimes.
There is a page "General Explanation" in your folder. We say there are no accidents,
only choices. Species, whether human, animal, plant, or mineral make choices here in
this instinctual level. Your instinct may be to eat, but you choose what you eat. Your
instinct may be to sleep, but you choose where you sleep. Even animals do that; plants
do that. Every phase, every state of matter known as life has consciousness -- that's what
matter is, consciousness. And out of consciousness, life evolves and takes form and force
and becomes, and species develop. But they develop by choice, by the volitional
component.
VOLITION is to CONSCIOUSNESS as QUANTITY is to QUALITY. These don't
change, but are not static. It's what we comprehend when we say "is". Think about "is" -
- what does it mean to you? Beingness, out of "is not" -- ex-is-tent. QUALITY is what
we know of as species, because we're headed to SPECIALIZATION. So we can say that
even rocks have species. They have a specialization to achieve at their level of
beingness.
Now, you have certain choices to make. You have to self determine your PURPOSES.
If you take action without a self-determined purpose, you are either acting at the behest of
someone else, or you are flying off in all different directions and accomplishing nothing.
So, do you accomplish your own goals or somebody else's goals? If you're going to get
on to that third rung and specialize, you want to make choices based on your own
determination -- SELF DETERMINATION, capital, not little self. When you say
someone is selfish, that's little self. But if you are self centered, you are in command of
your own space -- you're making your own choices. You may modify those choices, you
may compromise, you may do all kinds of things that circumstances that you have
created require you to do. But do it because you want to do it out of your own self-
determined choice.
So, it behooves you to find out what are the things that you are doing, maybe out of old
programming, maybe out of training from early childhood. We come in the South Node
with all these programmed responses, attitudes, and habit patterns; and we go through the
early training of family tradition; and we enter our school curriculum and we take on the
veneer of our teachers' attitudes, habit patterns and opinions. We develop a peer group,
and we adopt those attitudes, habit patterns and opinions, and we think that we have
achieved self identification through this process. What we have achieved is membership
in the group.If you are going to be singular, if you're going to reach that Eighth Key, if
you're going to become a very specialized entity that enables itself to get off of this
eternal wheel, you have to become, not a member of the group, but an individual, self-
directed that can comprise a membership in a group. You are a member of the human
species, so that in itself is a group.
OK, to that end then, find out what it is that has brought conformity into your life. There
are instructions on the sheet labeled "Personality Profile". (Gloria then explained the
process of preparing each individual's "Personality Profile" using prepared sets of cards,
each set representing a trait pair, that gave choices of responses to many situations.
Group proceeded, each individual doing a set of 40 situation cards representing 5 trait
pairs. Choices were to be based on immediate, gut level responses.)
* * * * * * *
(Led by Sidney, the group did a bit of deep breathing, nine Aa Oo Mm's, and invoked
Khamael, Gabriel, Ratziel, Raphael. Gloria entranced.)
TEACHER: (speaking slowly and distinctly) Good morning and greetings to you.
(responses) Have you learned anything? We are here to assist you in that learning
process. Let us say, firstly, you are spiritual beings, and then you are human beings.
There is little that your human beingness can do to diminish the spiritual being that you
are, but there is much that your human beingness can do to help the spiritual beingness be
greater, make a more valuable contribution to the experience of all the Realms above you.
As you exert your energies, spend your forces in focusing into your own spiritual growth,
you enable me and others such as I am to do likewise, built on the foundation of your
efforts. You are very important to us. It goes beyond your concept of love into the very
foundation of beingness itself. As you could not exist in your human condition without
the mineral element, so we could not exist without the human element which you
manifest. So you see, we are self serving as we serve you. Now it will be my pleasure to
answer any questions you may wish to present.
BETTY: One of the popular things to talk about now is the shadow side or the
dark side of your self. It seems to me in this exercise we have just been doing that we
touched into that. Could you explain a little bit.
TEACHER: As the Absolute is no thing, is not, as well as is some thing, every
manifestation of the Absolute has both a forward side and a backward side. Those words
chosen as best to explain in your concept of opposing directions. You are captured in
time and space and awareness. You understand "isness" as being linear rather than
perhaps globular. It is difficult to describe the "is not" to the consciousness focused into
the "is". But nothing of the Disciplined Force can manifest if all of the Disciplined Force
does not manifest.
Where you have positive, you have negative. Where you have "isness", you have "is not-
ness". Where you have light, you have dark. Thus, the character manifesting to the
human condition has both sides of expression. Due to the choices made as humans
civilized themselves to create social groups in which they may have their "isness", they
must thrust to the back or out of sight that side that is disintegrative instead of
constructive.
Within the heart and the mind of every individual is what you call "shadow self" because
you wish not to give it acknowledgement. As soon as you acknowledge that shadow self,
that dark side, those negative traits, so soon can you integrate into a specialized
individual. (Note: Shadow Self = North Node)
It is detrimental to your society to act in such a manner that you take a life away. You
cannot take a life away. You can terminate one span of effort. You call it "death". And
you say I, as an individual do not have the right to terminate another individual's span of
experience. That is called "murder". And yet, through your socialization, through the
civilization and the groups of thought that enable you to be co-abiders on this planet, you
have evolved organizations that daily interfere with the individual's effort of life span.
And you say that is all right. And yet, if one of your honored professional people
terminate another's life through surgery, for instance, you may condone that action, but it
is just as much murder as if you, without expertise, terminate someone else's life
experience.
What is "shadow person" or "self" to one individual becomes open expressed and
manifest self for another individual depending upon that attitude which your civilization
enables you to posture. It is for you as human beings to find that shadow self and
integrate it into your awareness that the force and strength of those characteristics can be
utilized in the development of your complete uniqueness. Repression/suppression is an
erroneous concept in the development of a fully integrated and whole personhood.
It is not to your denigration that you acknowledge possessing negative traits. Those traits
called negative only appear to be so in certain context. They have their own strength and
they have their own place of manifestation. And it is for you to find those things about
yourselves, and then find the place that you can manifest them and express them in such a
way as to be conducive to the benefit of yourself and all of your group, whatever that
social group may be. Do you understand?
BETTY: Very helpful. Could I ask another question on that? Could you give us
some questions that we might ask ourselves or some exercise that we might use to
uncover more of this shadow side?
TEACHER: Those exercises that we have given to your leader for this event are
designed for that particular purpose. And your success will depend upon your own effort.
BETTY: We have talked about Hitler and his role in society of the world. Could
you enlighten us on that please?
TEACHER: Human beings are given the opportunity to go to extremes. One may
be an extremely good person. Does that enable that individual to develop
SPECIALIZATION? If all human beings were perfectly intentioned and able to do only
what your society terms as "good", would you ever as a human species reach
Specialization?
This particular individual which you cite is only one of many in your human history to
optimize for you what the perfection of power expressed can do if the power represented
by these individuals is taken to the personal level and applied with wisdom, your life
would be greatly enhanced. It is not for you to judge whether or not this human being
was good or bad or indifferent. It is for you to look to that role model and see how those
things exemplified there can be utilized for the enhancement of your own spiritual
growth. Do you grasp what I say?
BETTY: I have held the fear, if I give over totally to Divine Will, it might be
asked of me to play a role such as Hitler played.
TEACHER: That fear is justified. As long as you have within your conscience
that seed of good will that denies you the option to exercise such incredible suppressive
power, you cannot go wrong. Be aware of when you are being extreme and not balanced.
Has your exercise this morning not generated any questions? You are all perfected? Let
us all return to our homes. (laughter)
LEN: I am reading a book titled "Behold the Pale Horse". This is relative to the
one world government in the physical sense. Could you tell me how much of this book is
actually true, or trend-wise can be.
TEACHER: Totalitarian, global government is already in the making. As a matter
of fact, in the economic structure of your world society, you have been living under one
government for many, many decades. It is not acknowledged. It is that "shadow side" of
your civilization. And it will manifest to the extreme, and then the pendulum will swing,
and balance will be sought.
LEN: Most of this one world government probably will become a reality. (T:
Indeed.) That's bad stuff.
TEACHER: Is it? As your technology advances, your globe shrinks, and indeed
you have already sent human beings outside of the atmosphere of your planet. How
small must your globe get before the governmental process takes that into consideration.
Socialization demands government. The fact that your governments are inappropriate is
due to human choice and apathy and inertia. If all human beings were doing what you
are doing today, your governmental process would be quite different. And I do not say
that it depends upon your condition of humanity being at the behest of our condition of
non-Earth occupancy. If you never heard from us, you still could have done a better job.
OWEN: Isn't that what working under the Law of Dominance is all about? We
have the dark side to contend with that adds spice to the whole operation and gives us
something that we need to work on.
TEACHER: As you work out the ramifications of the Law of Dominance, you
must gain dominance over what you call your "dark side". You must learn to use those
strengths and forces to enhance your life.
MAXINE: We all don't give the same evaluation to strengths and forces though.
Sometimes we might think we are doing just the right thing when it could be detrimental.
TEACHER: In whose judgement?
MAXINE: In the Source's judgement, so to speak. I guess that is who would have
to be the judge of everyone would be the Source. Is that a correct assumption?
TEACHER: Are you not responsible for yourself?
MAXINE: Yes. But then again if somebody makes a judgment on what I do,
Source would seem to me to be the one that would set the parameters of all that is right.
(T: That is true.) So that I would think that in the end, Source would make the judgment
of whether I had done the right or the wrong thing.
TEACHER: Source is not sitting in judgment. It is only maintaining the
parameters that you have already chosen.
OWEN: Source sets up the situations for you personally in which you will
hopefully achieve the maximum rate of growth.
TEACHER: You have chosen. Source is there as guide rails.
MAXINE: What you're saying is that we make the choice; Source doesn't. (T:
Correct.)
MYRA: Your reference to murder a few moments ago made me think of the
death of a woman whom Dr. Kavorkian assisted. I'm wondering if you will give us your
insight on that. He asked the State of Michigan to define murder, because he assisted her
suicide.
TEACHER: It is the individual's prerogative to choose the end of one's own life.
What you see as murder may in actual fact be the choice of the individual to end that life
experience. Do you understand?
MYRA: So when Dr. Kavorkian has offered his assistance to people who feel
their lives are really essentially finished, then he is doing them a spiritual assist.
TEACHER: He does not seek out a victim. Remember that we have advised, you
must wait to be asked. When he is asked, he provides. There is no error in that. It is one
of the products of your civilization that you honor the flesh body that you wear above the
spiritual being that you are. You have developed entire systems of action based on that
misconception. And your medical community promotes that, sustains it as a self
perpetuating means of existence.
KARLENE: Have you any suggestions how we might change the emotions of
these gangs that are problems.
TEACHER: When you witness such activity, and you identify it to the extent that
you feel hatred, anxiety, resentment -- what you call the negative emotions -- you are
promoting their activity. Immediately when you witness such activity, either in person or
by your communicative media, you should immediately invoke, "Mercy, love, and
compassion". Do not let yourselves be drawn into that trap by your own negative side.
Recognize that part of your hatred and resentment is because they are doing what you
want to do and will not permit yourself to do it. (Q: Our shadow side?) Yes.
BETTY: Is this part of what is happening now -- all this violence, the Judge
Thomas hearings, etc. -- is all this trying to get us in touch with our shadow side?
TEACHER: It is the struggle of the phoenix to recreate itself and rise from the
ashes of its own destruction. In this coming decade you will see corruption that you have
never dreamed of. And it must come to light. And it needs that force to be converted
into positive contribution.
EDITH: Is that kind of like on a global scale doing what you said -- changing the
shadow side to positive?
TEACHER: Indeed yes.
MYRA: So our response when we see evidence of corruption as for example the
S and L bailout, and economic calamities that are happening, we should invoke there too?
TEACHER: Absolutely. How can you as a spiritual being, not do so?
BETTY: Let's go back a little bit, in dealing and recognizing some of these
emotions that we have been trying to whitewash or avoid, such as anger, conflict, etc. --
you told us that conflict must be taken to the conclusion, even when it involved throwing
plates. (T: Correct.) That left us all so stunned -- could you enlarge upon that? How
can we handle some of these emotions more effectively, should we honor them?
TEACHER: Do not give control to the emotion, but do not suppress or repress it.
Use its force; magnify its force for good. As you spend your substance to repress such
emotions, you deny that force to the good you could do.
MYRA: Could you give us an example -- for example up in Kent, WA when the
FDA agents raided a doctor's office and took everything out of his office, I got so angry
when I realized this is our government doing unconstitutional things, so I began writing
letters.
TEACHER: That is an excellent plan, but you could have done more had you sat
down in the middle of the floor immediately and invoked Mercy, Love, and Compassion.
(Note: First response to stimulus.) Then write your letters.
MYRA: It makes me wonder if our letters are being heard. I can't imagine our
Congress even considering some of the legislation that they're doing.
TEACHER: Then it's time to boot them out. You have power, but you do not use
it. Inertia.
MYRA: So that's a good way to use our negative emotions then, to bring
ourselves to put that energy into creatively involving ourselves in our government.
TEACHER:Let that energy overcome your inertia.
MAXINE: There are times that I think that I need to not act. I feel that maybe I
have been overacting in my life, and maybe that this is the time to quit acting. (T: Are
you asking a question?) Well, yes and no. I guess I'm asking, is this a possibility, that in
the past I have reacted to so many things that now I feel it is time that I sit quietly and not
react.
TEACHER: That is too extreme -- do not react. Take action in awareness.
MAXINE: I see. It depends upon the purpose. (T: Exactly.)
(Question uncertain -- very faint) How long will it take the people to rise up and fly?
TEACHER:It will take whatever it takes.The more people who attempt to
encourage themselves, the more people who strive for SPECIALIZATION, the quicker
the process is accomplished. As you move into self aware choices, you drag everyone
else with you, kicking and screaming though they may.
EDITH: Do you want to talk a little more about self awareness or spiritualization
relative to our efforts here? (T: Later)
TEACHER: In view of the fact that we plan to have several more encounters with
you in person, we will at this time withdraw and turn the consciousness of our Channel
back to itself. Thank you for your attention. We shall be here to serve you.
(appreciation given)
OWEN: Is this Sheariam?
TEACHER: Does it matter? Call me Aurora.
(short break while Gloria came out of trance.)
QUESTIONER: Did you leave? GLORIA: I guess so.
OWEN: Do you know Aurora? (G: No.)
(Several wanted to discuss the concept of one world government and totalitarianism in
the short time before lunch.)
GLORIA: Totalitarianism has been a concept since, say, the turn of the century
when what I call the "money five" really began to fasten onto the world's money supply.
You may think the Federal Reserve has control over our money supply, but it doesn't.
They are at the behest of the Money Five. We right now are serving the purpose of
enhancing foreign money markets. When I say "we", I'm talking about America. Our
Federal Reserve, and the reduction in the interest rate, and the increase in money supply
which causes inflation are all to serve the purpose of foreign money markets. ... The
Money Fives are people, they are families.
BETTY: I want to speak to my "dark side". I'm in frustration about a place to sit.
I keep trying to move to see. Is it possible we might circle or semi-circle. (Others also
wondering.)
GLORIA: Apparently no-one listened when I said to you, "You can sit anywhere
you want to. You can move your chair, turn the room upside down if you like." Some of
you decided to tell the rest of the group what to do. (Much noisy interchange about this.)
OWEN: Going back to this concept of world government which would include
possibly an enhanced United Nations, it would seem that there might beneficially be a
force that would deliberate actions of an individual nation that was working to greatly
suppress development of the individual. For example, some of the African nations where
famine has been reinforced. I know they told us that was a karmic consequence of the
people involved there. The Chinese appeared to be making headway with individual
rights and were suddenly greatly suppressed. Since the purpose of humanity is to expand
individual development, it would seem that some regulations that prohibit the suppression
of individual development would be appropriate. And it shouldn't be taken on as a nation
by nation thing, like we've in some cases decided to be the policeman of the world, and
that seemed wrong.
GLORIA: That's because we're a Cancer nation. We think we have to mother the
world, feed the world, put their galoshes on, keep them from fighting -- "No children, be
nice together. Don't fight."
What I see, and this is just Gloria speaking. I see a world coalition, a coalition of
governmental representatives that will meet on a regular basis to resolve the differences
between nations in the way that our federal government did early in our history to
negotiate the differences between states -- when it was done without war. I see the
nations as being sovereign, even as our states are sovereign or are supposed to be
constitutionally. The ideal state will be when that sovereignty is respected and supported,
and not feared.
Before we get that far, we're going to have to go through some pretty heavy tribulation --
there will be economic repression, which we are experiencing right now. That's why I'm
saying to you that we are in the process of playing our part in this global manipulation of
economics. And the individual can profit individually by being aware of this, and that's
your right to do so. You don't have to play the game. What you must do is to play your
game -- you must be as aware and as informed as you can be, and take care of your own
prosperity. When every individual becomes prosperous, there will be no poverty. As
long as you have people who say, "Somebody else needs to take care of me. Somebody
else needs to make my decisions. Somebody else is responsible for me, we are going to
continue to have wars and poverty and all these things that we see in our civilization that
we don't like.
BETTY: And as long as someone else says, "I know what's best for you".
GLORIA: No. There's always going to be somebody to say that. But it's when
you say, "No you don't. I know what's best for me, and I will do what I will do for
myself". Then we begin to take personal responsibility for ourselves. And the more that
people like us do that, the more we encourage our family members to do it, our peers to
do it, and ultimately we influence what appear to be powers that are beyond our control.
For instance, in the State of Washington, we had a primary election on Tuesday, and after
encouraging everybody to get out and vote, they told us, "Well, the caucus has already
been held, and the caucus is what's going to decide it. What you do with your ballot on
Tuesday is not going to count." So you see, that tells the voter, "Don't get out there and
vote. Let us play our game. Let us do what we want to do, because we have the power,
and we know what is best for you."
And so the natural inclination of the human being is to say, "OK, I can't beat the odds
anyway. I can't fight city hall. Let's go play." What the individual doesn't realize is that
they have the power of the mind. You can do more with the power of your mind than
you can with your ballot. But if you don't cast your ballot, don't gripe.
You know what I'm going to do on election day? I'm going to write in my own name. If
every American citizen wrote his own name on the ballot -- you see we can't vote against
a candidate. We're not set up that way. Our electoral process is not set up so that we can
vote against. We can only vote for or abstain. Cast your vote for yourself, and you're
saying , "None of the above, thanks." What do you think they would do with all those
ballots if they had no votes for anybody? You see, one thing our electoral process does
provide for, a certain number of votes have to be counted, or the election is not legal. If
everyone wrote in his own name, you would cancel the legality of the election. They
would have to go back to square one. And they would have to start listening.
I'm not campaigning for anyone when I say this, but Ross Perot was saying, "If you want
me, but I have to hear your voice first." The others are out there saying, "Listen to me,
listen to me, listen to me. Do as I say. Vote for me. I don't want to hear what you have
to say, but I want your vote for me."
LEN: With all those lies, if in fact this conspiracy is true -- and I fully believe it
-- that the "the insiders" running this whole thing have candidate "A" Democratic,
candidate "B" Republican, candidate whoever, the outsider. They are pulling strings on
all of these. A or B or C makes no real difference.
GLORIA: That's right. If we don't like what you put in office, then we'll just kill
it off. It really doesn't matter who you elect to the presidency -- the president doesn't
have that much power. It's Congress that has the power. And Congress has run rampant
on its own momentum for far too long. But that's not what we're here to talk about. But
that is part of working on the Law of Dominance.
PETER: Since my pensions are no longer going to be valid, I must prepare now
to survive without them. I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell me what to do. I'm
going to be a survivor and I'm stubborn enough to do it. I need to not be dependent upon
what the government says or gives me. We know we can survive without our
government and without our money anyway. That's what we're here for -- to learn these
things. (He also recommended the movie, "The Intruders" as a stimulus to uniting to
form a world government. Gayla suggested the book.)
OWEN: One aspect of social behavior that hasn't been mentioned. At the
extreme in society there always seem to be some who are kind of out of control, are
extremely destructive, and from our standpoint, irresponsible. Others need to decide for
them what is best for them until they can go along in a progressive way with society. (G:
Second level Karma.) They are second level. But is this an appropriate function of
government. (G: No.) Well, in a sense you can't let them run around loose being
destructive to those who are trying to make some sort of individual progress.
GLORIA: One place that America has gone off track, if you will, is that our
federal government was constituted to defend our shores against foreign invasion, and
states were supposed to be sovereign. And it's up to small groups to deal with their social
problems. When I was a small child, there was county responsibility for the old folks, for
the poor, for the indigent, and they were cared for on more of a one-to-one basis based on
real need -- not masses of people given food stamps and low-cost housing. We have
federalized our responsibilities, and we have given over to the Money-5 because we are
going to globalize our responsibilities if people like us give up.
BETTY: Yet, on the other hand, I live in a very small community where they are
trying to keep local control of the school board, but the who's who in control run things.
Could you talk about that? Local opposition gets squashed.
GLORIA: Inertia again. The power has been built. If the power had not been
allowed to build in the first place -- I realize you’re asking how we handle it now. Only
through the coalition of citizenry getting together and saying, "This is our tax money.
These are our children you are educating. And you will do it the way we pay you to do
it!" It's the only way you are going to get those kind of people out of power.
BETTY: Our problem is that the school board members kid's are jocks.
GLORIA: So, if the people who are parents of non-jocks don't get together, you're
going to have the same power structure. What you want to do is get together and equalize
power, not topple. If you get enough power together, you can say, "That's alright. You
can stay on the board. You can have the say as long as you negotiate with us and we
arbitrate and we come to an agreement on this. And you're not sitting up there telling me
what I have to do in order to give you my tax dollars to spend." But you see, people have
turned over their responsibility to the people who want the power. Until you take your
own power back, you have to accept what has been created. And I hope that's what you
are doing here -- finding your empowerment, your enablement. Finding those strengths
within yourself to be the specialized, unique human being that you are potentially, and
then manifesting it.
OWEN: As mentioned earlier, our thought is very important in influencing what
takes place, more than what we do at the ballot box. (G: Correct.) That's kind of
interesting, because when you are considering what candidate to vote for, all you know is
that he's put up a big smoke screen that is palatable. You don't really know what he
intends to do and what his philosophy is. You just know he's running. So you can
accomplish more in attracting the right people to office by thought.So if we want a
change, that's the way to go about it -- define what you want and assume that the rest of
the process will develop, at least if your thought is in the majority.
GLORIA: You have made great effort to meet regularly to bring peace to the
globe. Why don't you get to together and change your government? If you don't like
what's there, get together and do something about it. You don't have to knock on doors
and put bumper stickers on your car, and put signatures on petitions and all that kind of
thing. Get together and use your group spiritual power to bring the New Jerusalem. Just
because it's in the making, the totalitarian government that could brutalize our society,
doesn't mean we have to accept it. We can do something about it, but only if we get
together and do it.
EDITH: But first, we have to know what we do want.
VIVIAN: How can we do it?
GLORIA: How? How have we managed to impact the warring factions? We get
together on the last Saturday of the month and we meditate for peace. We live our lives
day by day by day with peace in our hearts, with peace in our mind. If we want an
equitable government, we have to live our lives day by day equitably, and we have to get
together in groups of like minded people and put in force the thought power.
MYRA: If we're in a group and we meditate and send power to Washington as a
cone of love and light over Washington, we can change it.
GLORIA: Sure we can. Remember that RATZIEL is the power center of
bringing the ideas or the thoughts of the Absolute to the individual.If you don't like the
thought that is going on in Washington, D.C., then invoke RATZIEL for the idea, the
Universal idea to be made available, and then invoke MERCY, LOVE, and
COMPASSION for it to get to the right heart, to the right power center of the individual -
- I'm talking about the right senator or the right congressman or whatever.
We can change the people who are in Congress right now. We can at least create the
environment in which they will change themselves, or leave. It's not just the electoral
process.
If you address two issues (at the same time) with the same energy, you diminish the
power to each. It's like saying I have 1500 watts of power, and I want to light two lamps
instead of one. It can be done, but each bulb burns a little less brightly.Remember, the
more focused you are, the more powerful you are. So deal with one thing at a time, if
you really want to make a difference.
OWEN: So we would substitute a PAM for a PAC -- a political action
meditation. (adjourned for lunch)
