Thursday Session #2 - February 2, 1984
Gloria’s Circle
PRESENT: Tony Richardson, Patia Douglas, Lillianne Dawson, Karl Lofquist, Pat Swope, Kali Furlong,
Betty Welty, Marjorie Manchester, Zania Breazile, Sharon Sawyer, Dorothy Lee, Trance Medium - Gloria
Rivers
GLORIA: Does anyone have any questions? Some of you have never met me - maybe never
participated in a session like this before.
BETTY: Lots of questions.
GLORIA: What?
BETTY: What happens, and what do we do? I've never been to a session like this before.
GLORIA: We had quite a conversation about that last time, but it won't hurt to go through it a little bit
this time, because you will be participating in the session.
First of all, don't be awed. The communicators are people. Last time the question
was asked whether Sheariam was the name of the teacher that came through last time, and she is the one
that does most of the teaching on Saturday night. Treat her just like a person. Don't just swallow
everything you hear without using any powers of discrimination. You might say: where are you getting
your information; why do you believe that to be true. Challenge the ideas if you have a challenge.
Don't just waste time, get off the subject or something, but don't be afraid to ask
questions. We had some good questions last time. We had some really articulate people who asked
specific questions and got in fact, got such good information as opposed to the answers that some of the
people on Saturday night have gotten that one of the group said in effect, "I'm somewhat affronted that
Sheariam saw fit to give newcomers information that was refused to us."
But he's overlooking something, too. The questions he was posing encompassed a
larger field than the questions here. And so the questions here that were answered did not give an answer
complete enough to really answer the questions he was asking, so that was an unfair judgment in that way.
But there was some very good information elicited, and you are welcome to read the transcript here.
What do I need to say? I have already stated that it takes concentration and united
minds. Last time we began with everyone concentrating on a red rose as it opens, and apparently the
concentration was such that it was easy for me to go into trance because there was only ... I don't know ...
Tony was doing the taping, so I don't know how long it was, but it wasn't very long on the tape, anyway.
QUESTION: How do you get yourself into trance?
GLORIA: That's a good question. I need to give you a little bit of background. The answer, the
singular answer, is self-hypnosis. Back in the 50's I was studying to be a psychiatric nurse. The
superintendent at the hospital where I was working decided to choose a certain number of people for
training as hypno-therapists.
The first thing he taught us was how to be hypnotized, then taught us how to self-
hypnotize. And then, in some later work with a hypnotist, I found that I could get into this state in which
dis-carnates delivered messages. In the very early days, it was like a fun and games sort of thing. We had
some very strange kinds of experiences. Since that time I have learned to train my consciousness, so now
there are only teachers that come through. Does that answer your question?
QUESTION: Well, what specifically is it that you do to yourself, with yourself, for yourself to achieve
that altered state?
GLORIA: That's not possible for me to tell you, because it's like saying, `tell me how you go to sleep.'
It's an internal event, and that's why I say, first we had to be taught how to be hypnotized, then he taught us
how to self-hypnotize. It's a course of instruction, not something I can give you a concise description of. I
have certain, what you might call mantras, that I use that are keys. They've been programmed into my
subconscious mind to act as keys.
Anything else? Okay. The communicator, whoever it might be, will greet you in
some fashion, and you must respond like you are meeting somebody, and ask questions. Say, `Who are
you' and anything you want to ask. Okay? Betty, questions?
BETTY: Can't wait!
[Laughter.]
GLORIA: Then, if everyone will breathe deeply and get yourselves comfortable and begin to
concentrate, and you can concentrate on the candle if you wish, and begin to visualize that as a red rose. If
everyone thinks about the same thing, it will help the concentration.
[After some time]
I'm sorry to interrupt your concentration, but I have been reminded that we have not
introduced around, so connection has not been made.
[Introductions around.]
Okay. We have a connection there. Begin again to concentrate, please ...
VOICE: Good evening.
[Responses.]
It is a pleasure to be with you once again.
TONY: Is this Sheariam?
SHEARIAM: Indeed. Have we any discussions to begin?
[Silence.]
Some of you I have met before. Have you any questions about our previous
discussion? It is important that you understand the groundwork. As given before, we come to teach. We
come not to entertain.
DOROTHY: Last time you mentioned that it was very important that we learn to raise our own
consciousness, or the group consciousness. I was wondering if there are individually, when we are apart, if
there are exercises that we could do to encourage... to raise the consciousness of the group, even though we
are separated.
SHEARIAM: As advised, at certain times during the instruction there are exercises given for participants
to practice at home on their own which aid them in their development. In the other class which I teach
through this instrument, we have been working with various exercises through which has come a great deal
of personal growth. And, of course, as each member of the group grows, so does the group grow.
[The telephone rang, which seemed to weaken the process.]
TONY: Sheariam, I have a question. I see that from what you are saying you are teacher
from your area to ours. Are there teachers from other areas to yours?
SHEARIAM: [Very faintly.] Yes.
TONY: What kind of area is that?
SHEARIAM: [Very faintly.] We need more concentration.
[A period of silence.]
Let us try to continue. To answer your question, there are realms within realms, as
given before. You will recall you were given a description of your earth-physical life, and then given
something of a description of the spirit-physical life as it overlaps or interpenetrates the earthy-physical. It
was also given at that time the hypothesis of another realm called “ethereal” which then would be referred
to as “ethereal-spirit” which overlaps our realm and interpenetrates it. Consequently, beings in that realm
come as teachers to us, as we come as teachers to you.
When the study group becomes a unified entity, there will be more explanation in
greater depth. As this group develops its dynamics, we will not go deeply into any particular topic, but
there will be a consistent thread from the beginning throughout all of the dissertations.
TONY: Do you have a particular topic you plan to discuss?
SHEARIAM: This night, yes. As we discussed, there is but one reality, and out of that reality all else is
borne. Everything that you know, can possibly comprehend, is an aspect of that one reality. This is a truth
that pertains throughout all existence. And tonight we would continue with our thesis by discussing
existence.
It is important for the serious student to memorize the definitions of “existence.”
That is: To have being in some condition or place within understood limitation. As we have given in other
classes, there is an Absolute which is incomprehensible to the finite mind. Out of the Absolute emanates
Reality. At the primary level, this Reality is cosmic in nature. At the secondary level, it becomes
universal. And out of the universal come those spheres of existence to which you have access.
Out of the cosmos come many universes, but you live in only one of them. Your
physical realm encompasses a number of spheres, or levels, or states of consciousness within that universe.
One of the difficulties in passing these concepts is the limitation of language. And, thus, at times we are
required to create language, create words that are compounds or composites of parts of words, sometimes
from your English language, and sometimes from classical Greek or Latin, sometimes from French or
Sanskrit, or anything else which serves the purpose to convey an idea or a concept.
When you are attempting to convey an abstraction, it becomes more difficult, and, of
course, that is where our greatest message lies. That is to say, in the abstract level of thought. What seems
abstract to you becomes very mundane to us. But our purpose in teaching in this way is to enable those
who would to learn enough about our realm that you may then function in our realm to some degree before
your transition from earth-physical and certainly afterwards.
You will recall there were some questions posed last time about how one moves
from your consciousness in the earth-physical to your consciousness in the spirit-physical. What you have
as invisible substances which you have learned to manipulate and put to use, we also have use for them, but
in different ways.
Let us go back to “existence.” Let us equate the Absolute with “IS” ... “IS-ness.”
The word “existence” itself represents, is symbolical of, that which stands out from “IS-ness.” Is that
clear?
[Vague responses.]
QUESTION: Say it again, please.
SHEARIAM: All of you say the word “is.”
[Voices: "Is" in unison.]
SHEARIAM: What does that say to you?
[Voices respond: "Existence.Being."
SHEARIAM: `IS' has no past, has no future, only “now”. Do you agree?
[Responses varied unable to clarify for transcription.]
SHEARIAM: Present; current; now. Forever, eternity, infinity "is”. That was a mis-statement to some
extent. Again, difficulty with language, but all that you can ever attain to know in your universe, our
universe, "is”. There was never a time in your universe when electricity did not exist. Do you understand
what I mean, then, about “IS-ness?”
[General affirmative response.]
Good. So the “IS” stands out from the Absolute, the Absolute being true infinity, or
Cosmic Cause, Endless whatever ... beyond concept. We, as finite minds and finite consciousnesses,
cannot comprehend infinity. Do you agree?
[Affirmative response.]
But if we are creatures, the created ones, out of whatever was the beginning of our
lives, then we must have within us the potential to understand all that is available to us. Do you understand
that?
[Affirmative response.]
PAUL: Do you mean by that we can understand all that is available to you on your plane?
SHEARIAM: Yes. You have the potential.
PAUL: Can we actualize that potential with the minds we have now?
SHEARIAM: Yes.
PAUL: Are you going to say more about that?
SHEARIAM: I probably will not be able to satisfy all inquiry in one sitting, but we are moving in the
direction of informing. If you would review the structure given by Judith of our cosmogenesis, you will
begin to see...
[The tape ran out.]
It is our purpose this evening to establish within your consciousness that seed which
will grow into that comprehension and understanding. I have to ask that you give me the benefit of the
doubt when I say to you that emanating from the Absolute stands a plane of condition of existence which
we shall call Cosmos, which encompasses more than one universe. Ultimately, that can only be proven to
you through examination of your own consciousnesses, as you find yourselves experiencing more and more
of the invisible world.
The invisible world becomes available to you at your current state of functioning
mainly through dreams. Some of you have some development of the psyche which enables you to tune in
to some of the subtler vibratory frequencies of thought and thus can tune by thought-transference to
transmissions between our realm and yours. It is through this kind of thought-transference that many ideas
are born. Particularly in the line of your discoveries and inventions.
As we are better informed on the laws which govern your existence, we can then
translate that information by thought transference to a mind that is thinking in a particular channel, so it is
receptive to the thought. As I suggested before, you think about the existence of electricity eons before it
was vaguely understood and certainly not thought of as something controllable by mankind. But as raised
consciousness moved to inform itself from its own environment, the minds that move into the future
become receptive to ideas, and we can then think our realm into yours, and thus consciousness becomes
raised and our realm becomes more available. Do you understand?
[Affirmative responses.]
PAUL: How is it possible for us to increase our receptivity?
SHEARIAM: Again, language makes it difficult, but let me suggest to you a porousness. It is more than
being open-minded to possibilities. It is a condition of sponge-like consciousness. You have a technical
term: osmosis. You understand that term?
[Affirmative response.]
That is probably the nearest I could find in a process familiar to you to describe the
process of absorption, or assimilation, of knowledge from our realm.
VOICE [unidentifiable]: Sheariam, if, as you say, in your realm there are people in different stages of
development, then how can we, if we attain this sponge-like state, protect ourselves from other thoughts
that come through from people who are not as developed, who are not teachers?
SHEARIAM: You have an automatic fail-safe system which only you can turn off. Most times, when
people have "bad experiences," it's because they are looking for that which titillates their senses, which
offers them some kind of exciting peak experience, the same motivation that lies behind the untold
countless youngsters that think they are entertaining themselves by some of the horrible productions some
of the earth-physical has produced. If you do not expose yourself, you will not be invaded. You also are
protected by a band of entities of varying levels of education, spiritualization, motivation.
We went into this information last time. I recommend that you gain that information
from the transcript. It will help you. Opening to new ideas does not automatically expose you to negative
forces. If your orientation is negative, that is what you draw to you. If you have concern about this,
visualization of white light automatically sets in force, or sets in motion, or begins application of certain
principles and laws which enable those substances from our realm which are invisible in your realm but do
have physical existence, to set up a shield around you. You can shield anything, yourself, your home, your
automobile, your children, but when you begin building shields about other self-conscious entities, those
shields are subject to the self-consciousness of that entity.
VOICE: Does that mean they have control over that themselves?
SHEARIAM: Yes.
VOICE: Your children can knock them down if they want.
SHEARIAM: Yes.
PAUL: So, are you saying, then, that visualizing, imagining something intensely, creates the effect
that you imagine?
SHEARIAM: It doesn't create it, for it is already created. It gives it form.
PAUL: It's like your meaning when you were saying the word “IS.”
SHEARIAM: Yes. All that can ever be, already is. Consciousness, through mental processes, actualize it.
Alternately, the invisible actualization is brought down into physical manifestation. I hesitate to use
directional words because they are not accurate, but given that you have already certain attitudes and
understanding, we must deal with those until we can get behind them.
TONY: You mentioned that there are several bands, or layers, or levels, of beings that help
protect us, or whatever. You also mentioned last time that we were going to eventually discuss how to
contact them ourselves more directly. Do you want to discuss that now?
SHEARIAM: I would note for you that the other group being taught through this instrument has been
meeting for nearly two years and is only now developing the consciousness to do that. They, too, right
from the beginning desired it, but they do now agree that they were not sufficiently armed with knowledge
to handle that experience profitably. There is no prohibition against your attempting on your own to make
contact. These intellects, these entities, these hearts and minds, are with you through the law of love and
commitment. They want your contact, and they are ready for your contact, but they cannot contact "you”
until "you” are ready.
VOICE: Where do they come from, and how do they attach themselves to us? Why are they
with us particularly?
SHEARIAM: That is a very complex matter. Some discussion was held on that subject last time. There is
a hierarchy of power and authority which is being studied by the other group. The information is available
to you to read.
But to give you something of a brief answer, some members of this invisible band
are attached to you through reincarnational experience. Some members have never incarnated and are
attached to you through bonds of affection, the roots of which you are not prepared to understand. Some of
the members of your band are simply assigned to you as their responsibility in their realm of experience,
even as you have duties and responsibilities and obligations in your realm of experience.
TONY: Is that part of the contract as you discussed?
SHEARIAM: Yes. There is a contract in effect for everyone at all times.
KARL: You say we cannot contact you until we are ready. What are the qualifications for
being ready?
SHEARIAM: An altitude of attitude. A certain level of consciousness which is not only accepting but
willing to set aside certain established opinions. Also a certain depth of character that can withstand
criticism, and instruction, a degree of serenity, a definite sense of personal individuality, and goals. There
have to be certain commitments. Some of the wall that blocks the connection is built upon tradition,
training, habits established through experience, and much of this wall must be broken down.
Many times contact is made spontaneously when a life suffers some blow that
seriously damages it in some way. In the early days of Silverthistle's teachings, he gave commentaries on
the Beatitudes, which are eight steps to attaining that level of consciousness which admits free interchange
between an individual and his family of guides. Among those are healers and teachers and comforters and
all nature of support systems. They do operate on your behalf throughout your life, whether you make
direct contact with them or not. But the contact will come through the development of intuition. When one
has opened that portal of intuition, the contact is moment-by-moment, even as you have moment-by-
moment contact with the people under the same roof with you.
PAUL: Are you saying, then, that our guides are always available to us?
SHEARIAM: Indeed.
PAUL: And is it possible, through the process of visualization that you were speaking about earlier,
for us to see them?
SHEARIAM: Yes.
VOICE: Do the same guides stay with us throughout our life, or do some change?
SHEARIAM: "Some” change. You can see this in your every-day earthly life. You do not take calculus
from a kindergarten teacher. As your character and personality and spiritual profiles grow, so are new
teachers introduced to your band and others relieved of their obligation to you.
VOICE: Is it all right to ask a personal question?
SHEARIAM: In certain instances we answer personal questions. You must give me the option of refusal.
VOICE: Of course. Have my guides changed recently?
SHEARIAM: It would probably be well to give a general explanation here, and you can ascertain your
own answer. As I just gave, as the character changes, all else with an individual changes, there are changes
made in the guidance systems and the support systems. This can be even on a day-to-day basis, for your
time is not our time. You look at development in terms of months, and years, and decades. That
development which might release one of us or attach one of us can occur in a split second of your time.
The one constant, the only constant that you have, is change.
Did that upset you?
[Various answers indicating it did not.]
TONY: I've heard of something called “walk-ins.” Can you tell me about that?
SHEARIAM: That's erroneous concept.
KARL: An awful lot of this goes over my head, but I hope by studying the transcript ...
VOICE: The walk-ins they talk about ... could that simply be a person developing to a higher
level of consciousness?
SHEARIAM: Of course. The body is an out-growth of the psyche. I could not maintain or sustain this
body through which I operate now. The autonomous systems of this body are still attached to the psyche of
the entity. I am enjoying the loan of certain portions of this consciousness only, and it is only a loan. A
body would disintegrate the moment the psyche leaves it. It cannot be turned over to another.
PAUL: Are you implying, Sheariam, that you can maintain several existences in different planes at
the same time?
SHEARIAM: You not only can, you do. Very perceptive.
VOICE: Do those different selves, the different aspects, do these reflect on each plane? I
mean, do they interact? Do you have experiences there ... would you acknowledge something that was
going on in a different sphere in that connection?
SHEARIAM: You are so much greater than you believe yourselves to be. That is why we come. Because
it is so ... or it will be in your time ... those who become aware of their function in other realms besides this
earth-physical, who will ultimately be the salvation of the race, of the species of mankind.
PAUL: Is it possible to become aware from this earthly plane of our other existences?
SHEARIAM: Indeed. At times you experience your other selves, if we may call them that, in your dream
life, but you can do it in a conscious waking state as well.
PAUL: Does that take a certain type of training? Or your altitude of attitude [indistinguishable]?
SHEARIAM: It is an altitude. It is less training than developmental. As a matter of fact, in one instance,
one member of our group in the mental exercise which we gave her, saw herself in another existence. And
even with the development of her understanding of over a year's study with us, still was frightened, because
she did not understand what she was experiencing. However, I am happy to report she has recovered and is
now enjoying a great expansion of consciousness.
TONY: How about people with multiple personality?
SHEARIAM: It is still only one psyche. Multiple personality is an apt description. A personality is a way
of presentation of one portion of the psyche.
PAUL: Is it true that you all have multiple personalities on this earthly plane?
SHEARIAM: Oh, yes. And they all find expression in some aspect of actualized reality, but it may lie in,
for lack of better words, another dimension.
PAUL: I'm not sure I understood that. In fact, I didn't understand that.
SHEARIAM: Then you understand the difficulty in explaining an abstraction. In this focus of your
consciousness, you are aware of an earth-physical existence which your psyche has produced. When you
alter your state of consciousness without losing a sense of self-connnectedness, you can from this earth-
physical world witness another focus of consciousness which also has been produced by the same psyche.
Did I say that clearly?
PAUL: I think so. By one's `psyche,' do you mean one's core ...
[Tape ran out.]
SHEARIAM: We can partially define “psyche” as a creative ego which can manifest itself in or through
multiple personalities. Each personality may choose a realm of manifestation. The person whom you now
think yourself to be at this moment has chosen to manifest in this earth-physical, but there are others. For
the sake of explanation only, let us hypothesize a Mars-physical, a Venus-physical, and so on. The psyche
may manifest a personality in each one of those realms and still remain an integrated psyche. But the
consciousness of self would be focused into only one of those manifestations at a time until the
understanding, or the altitude, was achieved that enabled an overview so that there could be a
comprehension of multiple manifestation. Does that help?
[Affirmative.]
VOICE: Is that what you are talking about `realms' when you spoke of those other planets?
SHEARIAM: “Realm” is one of your words which we use rather loosely, simply meaning a domain of
control or influence.
VOICE: Can these realms be different ages and times as well as different places and ...
SHEARIAM: Oh, indeed.
LILLIANNE: Is that the same as Seth's explanation of Oversoul?
SHEARIAM: The concept, yes. We differ somewhat in our philosophies.
TONY: Why would there be a difference?
SHEARIAM: Why do two people who observe the same action have different descriptions of it?
TONY: So what you are saying is each of you has evaluated things a little differently?
SHEARIAM: Yes, we each have our own point of view. There is not wrong on one side and right on the
other. We discuss the One Reality in varying terminology according to our comprehension of it.
PAUL: Is that the same as saying that all knowledge basically is uncertain?
SHEARIAM: It is to the degree that it has been extended from the point of emanation of the One Reality.
As you project thought, for instance, at the point of emission, the point is highly concentrated. As it moves
either through space or consciousness, it becomes weakened and diffused. The thought remains the same,
but becomes observable in fragmentation. And so as we exist in these juxtapositioned realms, we are
viewing fragmented reality, but it is only One Reality.
PAUL: Is it possible that these fragments that we view or see are really pieces of the whole, but the
whole can be seen ... [words indistinguishable on the tape.]
SHEARIAM: Exactly. This is what my premise was at the beginning tonight that you, being a part of the
ultimate all, can then encompass all knowledge about that all of which you are a part.
PAUL: I'm curious why you say that a thought upon being emitted can be diffused?
SHEARIAM: I do not wish to go into a technical dissertation at this time, but let me give you an analogy,
if you will.
Remember that I said, as thought moves not only through space but through
consciousness, it becomes diffused and can even be unrecognizable at some point distant from the
originating point. If you transfer a thought to another person, it may travel through space, or time, but it
will always travel through consciousness. That thought, then, is passed on by that recipient to another
recipient, and so on down a chain of recipients. By the time it gets down to the ninth or tenth recipient, it
has become very diffused by the consciousnesses it has passed through.
It is like the refraction of light, in a way. You might liken it to a game children play
called `gossip.' Do you comprehend?
PAUL: I understand, but I'm not sure I agree. Is it possible that if the original thought being emitted
was a coherent thought, you understand what I mean?
SHEARIAM: Yes.
PAUL: That it would not diffuse.
SHEARIAM: Oh, it is possible, but how far can you extend that coherent thought? First of all, we must
set up some parameters here. We are talking about realms of existence in which there are certain
limitations. Those limitations can be limitations of consciousness, of attitude, of opinion. Every time a
thought attempts to pass through a consciousness, it is in some way changed, bent, diffused. To retain its
integrity, its coherency, it must pass through like consciousness. Does that help?
[Affirmative.]
SHEARIAM: Have we about worn you out for this time?
[Some comments in the group.]
VOICE: I have a question, if you would, one more question regarding opposites, and Jung's
theory about the shadow, the dark side of ourselves. Could you explain a little bit about what that means?
SHEARIAM: We gave, a short while ago, a perspective on personalities manifest by a single psyche, but
manifest in other realms. The shadow self of Jung was not sufficiently pursued. In some instances this
shadow self can be a reflection or a bleed-through from one of the other manifesting personalities. It can
also be constituted by experience of other manifestations in the same realm but in different periods of time
as you think of reincarnation. I hesitate to go too far with this until there is sufficient foundation laid.
Perhaps we can pursue this at another time.
VOICE: I would like to know about archetypes, too, at another time.
SHEARIAM: The other group is now dealing in information, with information, about archetypes.
TONY: Is there an implication that it's going to be a great length of time before we are going
to be ready to learn much of this information?
SHEARIAM: It depends upon the amount of study, the amount of application you wish to make.
VOICE: Then we need to study the other group's work and begin applying what we learn
there.
SHEARIAM: If you wish to hasten your development, or acquisition of a body of knowledge. We are
quite limited in the time we have to spend with you, and time is so pertinent to your realm.
VOICE: The classes like "Developing Your Intuition," will that speed the process?
SHEARIAM: It certainly helps, yes. See, through developing the intuition, you are then given access to
your own source group. There are many pathways.
VOICE: There are many pathways to the source group? Could you explain that a little bit,
about what kind of pathways?
SHEARIAM: Areas of study, modes of study, modes of thought, modes of action, lifestyle, personality
development ... limitless.
Now, as we draw to a close, would you as a group like to have a guided meditation
to close your evening session?
[Agreement.]
I invite you, then, to settle your bodies comfortably and begin to focus your attention
on your breath. Breathe in deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth at least three times.
This assists in the relaxation of the chest and abdominal muscles.
Then slowly, in rhythm with your breathing, allow your attention to focus into the various parts of your
body. Just become aware of the body. Feel the feet and how they touch the floor, and feel the legs as they
rise from the feet. Just become aware.
Feel the flex of the knees and the feeling of the thighs against your chair. As you focus your attention into
the body, wherever you become aware of tension, just dismiss it. If you have a problem, flex the muscle
and then relax it...
Continue up the torso. Become aware of the arms, elbows, hands, throat, neck, face, head, until you are
completely aware of all your parts, but relaxed.
Then allow your consciousness to expand beyond the limit of the skin of your body. Become aware of the
vital energy that surrounds your body. These are your energies. They, too, are a part of you. Your
breathing remains gentle and rhythmical.
As your consciousness expands, you begin to feel lighter, and a sense of joy begins to permeate you, for as
you expand your consciousness into the subtler realms of your body, you become aware of greater things to
be experienced, to be enjoyed…
Your imagination is the greatest faculty you have for exploring the finer realms of your being. With your
imagination, extend your arms beyond the limits of your hands. Allow yourself to let your arms be elastic
so that they become lengthened sufficiently long that you can reach around yourself to any part of your
body.
As you have examined your body and become aware of it, you discovered areas in the body which were
less comfortable than other areas. If you have a particular tender spot or some such, with your extended
hand, soothe that spot. Massage with your extendedness any part of your body that may require attention.
As you do this, you are mending your auric field. This is something you can do any time.
When you have finished soothing your aura, mending it, mentally invite your personal healers to serve you.
It is not necessary that you know a name or can be aware of an individual personality. Just open yourself to
that loving service, that loving ministry, and your healers will come to you and touch you where you need
their healing. Just relax and let it happen…
Even as you are receiving treatment, you may find certain symbols appearing in your mind. These will be
clues to the identity of your healers…
Now that you have received some reconstitution, some alignment has been made for you; let us share these
energies. Allow yourselves to glow. Allow the inner light to emanate from you and join the light of all
others in the Circle. And so you become united as you flow together in your subtle energy.
You may think you are only exercising imagination. Do not let that ‘only’ dissuade you. Even as you pour
forth your light, the healers and other members of the bands gathered here with you emit their light, and the
room becomes filled with their light -- the healing energy, the teaching energy, the caring energy.
As your light mingles, there is even a heat generated. Those of you who have the sight will be able to see
this energy in shades of blues and greens and iridescence.
Now, one of the very beneficial things that you can do is share this light energy with those who are of
concern to you. As you speak a person's name, there is a connection made, even though he or she is absent.
Speak the name of your loved ones and let that call their consciousness forth if they be willing. As that
consciousness is called into our midst, they, too, benefit from the healing energy… It is best if you speak
the first name aloud…
It is important that you share these experiences with your loved ones even though they are not present in
their physical bodies. Through the sharing of these experiences you develop, you grow, you attain to that
altitude of which I spoke earlier. And so you not only receive a blessing and a healing of your own, you
pass it on. As the healing goes forth through these other consciousnesses, the healing is spread forth from
them, too.
So you share. You make a contribution to the elevation of consciousness throughout your realm and your
entire earth planet is benefited.
Now, in your visualization, allow the brighted, lighted energy to come together into the form of a fountain
in your midst. Let the fountain grow higher and higher, until you are re-bathed in the waters of your own
healing light. The stronger you can visualize the fountain, the more forceful the energy becomes.
Then let the fountain grow higher and higher until it spreads out and indeed waters your entire globe, taking
the feeling to the farthest reaches of your planet. So you bless your planetary home as well as your
temporal home.
When you are ready, bring your awareness back to this room. Move your body gently. Clasp your hands
together in front of your breast to lock within your body the healing you have received. So you are blessed.
Go in peace.
