Thursday Session #3 - February 16, 1984
Gloria’s Circle

PRESENT: Pat Koskela, Betty Welty, Kali and Paul Furlong, Bill Graves, Kristine Curry,
Karl Lofquist, Teresa Farquhar, Dorothy Lee, Jan Cornru, Tony Richardson, Trance Medium -
Gloria Rivers

[Tape begins during preliminary discussion.]

GLORIA: We can distill her teachings into something that will expand the body of what
Judith has given, but that is what they are referring to when they say, "some of the answers to the
questions you ask have been given in the other class."

[“The Coming of Judith” was made available to the class for their reference.]

VOICE: Good, I'm glad to have this because it's frustrating when you ask a
question ...

[Tape is interrupted, then begins again.]

VOICE: ... has anybody asked in the time frame of whether this is in the life span
of us now, or longer ...?

GLORIA: It has been intimated on Saturday night -- they've really skirted that issue --
they've said things like, "depending upon the consciousness of people, depending upon what
groups like yours do, depending on how much we can get through." It's not a cut-and-dried
thing. It's not like the year 2015 the whole continental divide splits in half. It's not that kind of
thing apparently.

DOROTHY: I think the sense of timing -- our sense of timing -- is so different; maybe they are
just not ready to put what they are in our time frame.

GLORIA: Yes, they keep telling us that they have time, but it's different, that their reference
is different, which stands to reason.

[Other comments of several override each other on the tape.]

VOICE: Can you ask things that ... will they tell you things that will help you right
now, today, in life; I mean really practical kind of things rather than just a lot of esoteric things?

GLORIA: Sometimes.

VOICE: I don't mean just personal questions, but about things that we can really
use in our life here.

GLORIA: Oh, I'm sure. They keep telling us that they don't come in vain, that they are not
wasting our time.

DOROTHY: The answer to that is on the first transcript. The first class I asked that. She gave
the answer about how personally we can raise our own consciousness. It was by meditating and
working at it.

VOICE: Oh, well, that wasn't what I meant; I meant something more specific than
that.

GLORIA: Okay. About a year ago Christmas, there was some conversation, kind of a
question and answer period -- usually the discussion has to do with the experience the people are
having with the assignments given, and this was a meditative exercise that the whole group had
been given to practice. Then they would bring back their results and have those results explained
to them. So there would be that kind of interchange.

This one man asked about his meditation, saying he just didn't understand,
and he was getting sort of upset and angry because he wasn't getting the explanations that he
wanted. I don't remember the exact words now because it was so long ago, but it's in the
transcript. Anyway, Silverthistle told him not to worry about it, that his third marriage would
take care of it, or something like that, and he almost fell off his chair. He had thought he had his
life organized satisfactorily, but, sure enough, in about six months he was re-married.

VOICE: To somebody in the group?

GLORIA: To somebody in the Tuesday night group to which he had not even gone yet.
They hadn't met at the time he was told he was going to get married. The Tuesday night group
was meeting, but they were not getting together. Somehow it wasn't coming together for them.
Now, this man sings beautifully, so he came to help the group get synchronized, and that's where
he met his bride, and six months later they were married.

VOICE: I want to tell you that last time when I came to the meeting I was feeling
kind of sick, I'd had something like that stomach flu, and after that healing, the next day I felt so
great, my energy level was back up, and whatever it was had gone.

GLORIA: Yes, we've had a lot of those kinds of things happen. And we've had a few
physical manifestations in the group, too. Occasionally some have seen like a steam coming off
the water, or some kind of white transparency kind of thing moving around, and, let's see, what
else happened?

KRISTINE: They told you to put out the dish of water, didn't they?

GLORIA: Oh, yes, at Christmas time. One of the girls in the other group is really
developing very rapidly as a healer, as a psychic. At Christmas, our hostess served wine in sort
of fluted wine glasses, and a perfect triangle was taken out of the side of her wine glass. The tip
of the triangle was right against the rim, but there was no crack in the rim, no crack at the
corners. It was a perfect triangle of glass taken right out of the side of the glass.

Then she wanted to take the wine glass home with her, but when she got
ready to go, the wine glass couldn't be found, so she said it would turn up and left it at that.
When the hostess washed the glasses and put them away, she found she only had eleven. And
she thought the girl had taken the glass with her. About two or three weeks later, I think, she had
the wine glasses down again, and here was the glass on the shelf with the piece missing. So she
wrapped it up and gave it to me to deliver, which left her with ten glasses. As I understand it,
she still has only ten glasses, one glass having completely disappeared.

Later the girl asked about the triangle, and she was told that one of her
source group had taken that triangle as a message to her. I can't tell you any more detail because
it's personal, but, yes, we do have a lot of personal things going on.

VOICE: Has much been said about physical illness, the causes and so forth?

GLORIA: In specific instances, but not in general. There haven't been any lectures on that
sort of thing.

TONY: Maybe no one has asked.

GLORIA: Yes, don't hesitate to ask questions. They always reserve the right to refuse
answer, or they will put you off. That was one of the things someone in the other group felt a
little disappointed in, that his question had been put off, where your question was answered here.
But on examination it appeared that his question was asking for deeper information than you got
here.

BETTY: Has anybody ever asked about child abuse, the causes behind that, or ...

GLORIA: No, you see, the other group has been so structured, as I say, that daily concerns
that we live with have not been touched in the other group. The other group started off on a
different level. Their interest was in a different area. And so that's what they called forth, was
this tremendous body of information, of understanding the beginning of all things, so you can
understand the end of all things. That's kind of the implication there.

VOICE: That's all!

[Laughter.]

GLORIA: Just a little thing like that, yes.

DOROTHY: But also it was in the first class where someone asked if we could ask for personal
answers, about where they should go from here, and the answer was it would not be good to use
group time to talk directly to a person. Because maybe only one person would want to know
about child abuse, or two, and the rest of us would be wasting too much time.

GLORIA: Really, what that was about, Dorothy, there were people in the group then who
had come from the spiritualist aspect, and they were wanting to speak to the deceased members
of these families.

DOROTHY: No, this was here.

GLORIA: Oh, I see. I thought you meant the first people who came to the Saturday night
group where the question was posed.

DOROTHY: No, no. This question was here, the first time we met here. That question was
posed by a lady that hasn't come back.

GLORIA: Yes, that's what happens. When people come and they want something just for
themselves, and they aren't spoon-fed, they don't come back.

VOICE: [In answer to someone's question about `who.'] ... she didn't get the
answers she wanted.

GLORIA: The spiritualist aspect came up in the other group. There were a number of
people who did not want to participate because they couldn't talk to Aunt Annie or find out what
grandma was doing, or something.

[General laughter.]

And right away Silverthistle said, "that's not what we're all about, we're
not interested in that at all." At various times he has said reluctantly, "well, I'll put the name in
the exchange," as he calls it, and apparently there is some kind of information depository or
exchange, or something.

DOROTHY: Maybe a bulletin board.

[Laughter.]

GLORIA: And then there would be a message come back. A year ago last Christmas they
were given a whole evening to ask personal questions. That was their Christmas gift. Each year
there has been a Christmas gift from the Temple.

TONY: I also noticed that they said something about just because they put the
message out in the exchange doesn't mean they are going to get it because the person may not be
able to respond to that. So that's possibly another reason they don't want to go into personal
stuff.

GLORIA: Well, it's kind of boring to sit around and talk to Aunt Minnie.

BETTY: This brings up a question I have. Why is Christmas that important? Is it
important there, or…

GLORIA: It's important to the people in the group because they are of Christian heritage, not
necessarily all of them practicing Christians, but their background is Christian in tenor, and so
Christmas is a holiday that is celebrated and gifts are exchanged, so the Temple wanted to give
them a gift.

BETTY: Well, now the Temple -- I noticed that in the first part of this one, "The
Coming of Judith”. Anything more about the Temple?

GLORIA: Oh, yes, quite a lot more about the Temple. In fact, in the book that's coming out,
"The Temple of Initiation” is cited in two instances. Silverthistle, when he's asked about
himself, talks about an incarnation, that is to say when he was a physical being here on the planet
Earth, when he was educated in a Temple of Initiation in the Andes, in South America. So
apparently that was a physical structure just like this building. Then The Temple of Initiation
that the teachers come from is like a state of consciousness to us here in the physical realm. I
don't know whether it was last time, or two or three times ago, in the meditation, they were taken
to the healing room in the Temple. And everyone said they actually experienced that state of
consciousness; it was very real to them, that they were in the healing room and being ministered
to, that they actually had the feeling of that. There have been some interesting healings in the
group.

TONY: They mention that book "Initiation”.

GLORIA: Yes, right in the beginning when the Temple of Initiation was mentioned as being
where these people were coming from. I think the very first person that came from the Temple
was named Karansa, who seems to be the big wheel, whatever her responsibility is. She seems
to have the responsibility of the Temple, organization, or something. The people were instructed
to read the book “Initiation” by Elizabeth Haich. It's out in paperback. You can probably get it
at Dalton's or practically anywhere books are sold. It's the recording of an orally told story, so
it's pretty boring in lots of places, there's lots of repetition as there is in any oral communication.
You have to get more than half way through the book before you really get into the meat of it.

VOICE: Now, they said somewhere along the line there is no such thing as karma.

GLORIA: No, they started talking about karma and reincarnation, and then they decided that
to really understand reincarnation in its actuality that there had to be some background laid, and
then they got into this whole thing of the creation and how existence came about, and they keep
saying that down the road they are going to talk about it. Several different times they have
alluded to it in answering certain questions, and in some of the experiences that some of the
group have had they have pointed out as being an instance of reincarnation. So I think they are
going to teach more about it later.

BETTY: If others are interested in it, or are willing, can we start tonight with a
meditation?

GLORIA: Well, I suppose we can, but that's really what you're doing when you are
concentrating on the rose. Were you suggesting a guided meditation, because if I'm guiding a
meditation, I'm not going into trance.

BETTY: I was just thinking that maybe a short one would get us together from the
day.

GLORIA: Oh, yeah, okay. That's probably not a bad idea.

[Long silence on the tape.]

SHEARIAM: Good evening.

[Responses.]

We are happy to be with you once again. How have you fared?

[Responses.]

VOICE: Who are you?

SHEARIAM: It is I, Sheariam.

[The voice sounded weak and whispery.]

DOROTHY: We've been waiting for you to come.

SHEARIAM: We are pleased that you gather. And what topic shall we discuss this night?
What questions have you?

KRISTINE: Can you tell us how the guide system works? You say we have guides, and I was
wondering, especially in relation to children, the people who watch over us and guide us. How
does that work with children?

SHEARIAM: It has been given before, but it bears repeating. As two incarnate beings unite
sexually, conception occurs, and a fetus grows. That fetus has certain genetic qualities. Because
of these genetic qualities, certain things then become possible. On another realm, another plane,
in another sphere of existence, the powers of hierarchy, those who have certain abilities,
assemble. A being, an entity, that is either destined or being prepared for incarnation, is chosen
as the in-dwelling spirit for the forming fetus.

The in-dwelling spirit has certain constitutions of its own. There is
intellect, emotion, many things which constitute character. When a match is made, a timing is
set, a schedule, if you will. In some instances the in-dwelling entity may accompany the mother
of the fetus throughout the gestation period; may indeed even enter the fetus prior to delivery. In
some instances the in-dwelling entity is not ready to control a physical vehicle and yet gestation
terminates and the fetus is delivered as a living human organism.

Once a union has been determined, it cannot be changed. There is a
contractual agreement which must be fulfilled. If that contract is possible to fulfill and the in-
dwelling entity is not ready to take over the living organism, what might be called "a baby sitter"
takes that duty. Thus it is that up until about age seven of your Earthly years, the child, the
living physical vehicle, may be under the care and operation of a very differently evolved entity,
and then turned over to the in-dwelling entity. Then you find changes, significant changes of
personality. If the in-dwelling entity still is unable in the judgment of those who have the power
to control such things, the living organism may be removed from the Earth plane, and you have
crib death. Now this in-dwelling entity is a part of a group. Everyone is a part of a group. The
group is not static, it changes as consciousness evolves.

It is difficult to explain the process when you have not the foundation to
go back to the beginning, but as an entity evolves into an individuation, there are other forces
also forming. When brought down in manifestation to this Earth sphere, there are then in any
given manifestation a number of entities linked together similarly to the family relationship of
the physical organism. There is a genetic code in the invisible as well as the visible. Some of
these group members may also incarnate at the same time, and some will not.

But no entity is ever sent into any manifestation without the proper
support systems to offer a guarantee or warranty some kind of success. In each group of such
supporters will be found teachers, healers, comforters, those who sit in judgment, who see to the
conscience of the incarnate. Some of these group members may serve more than one incarnate.
For instance, teachers, particularly, may be assigned to a number of incarnate people who are not
of the same physically organic family. Does that answer your question?

KRISTINE: Partly. How do they guide a person?

SHEARIAM: The influence is subtle, although the newly united are aware. Infants who are
occupied ... when an in-dwelling entity claims a fetus before delivery or immediately upon
delivery, there is a conscious awareness of the group to which one belongs. Most often the
ambience of Earth life covers up that awareness very quickly. Sometimes not so, dependent
upon certain other characteristics and development of the in-dwelling entity.

So, they grow up through the years of Earth life unaware at a conscious
level of such supporters that the guidance is there in unseen ways. When danger is averted,
when hunches are experienced, when circumstances seem to arrange themselves in peculiar
manner these are evidences of the support group, the guidance people. As one opens himself to
contact with the invisible realm from which he came, the ties of affection are like magnetic fields
that draw minds and hearts together. As you become more intuitive you can make more direct
contact. Does that answer?

[Affirmative.]

TONY: Are these guides at the same or a higher level ... what level are they
compared to the in-dwelling person?

SHEARIAM: It is a multi-level system. There will be those entities very close to the incarnate
that are of similar levels of understanding ...

[Tape ran out.]

PAUL: [Indistinct, but the question is about raising the level of consciousness.]

SHEARIAM: Yes, that is true. Animal life, for instance, also has invisible support systems. As
you, an incarnate, may have a pet from the animal kingdom, the association of that animal with
you enables that animal to experience human emotion. There is telepathic communication
between master and pet. As that animal becomes more humanized, so do the invisible support
systems around it. And it's consciousness that's in evolution, not the physical organic cell.

KRISTINE: At the time the baby is being born, is that baby aware of that life's destiny, or that
life's commitment, or the direction that life is to take?

SHEARIAM: The in-dwelling entity is. The fetus has the organic awareness that it is to become
six feet tall or have blue eyes, or whatever the body's genetic code is. The in-dwelling spirit, the
in-dwelling entity, has the genetic code that says it will have a certain mission or destiny. And
the two must be matched.

KRISTINE: What if they conflict?

SHEARIAM: That is not in the system. It is not possible.

VOICE: So when children suffer from diseases, trauma and accidents, and things
like that, are you saying that is what they have contracted to do when they are here?

SHEARIAM: It may not all be in the contract. It may be a matter of consciousness
development.

VOICE: I don't understand.

SHEARIAM: As one lives life, whether in the physical organic realm or in an invisible realm,
there are choices to be made all along the way. The support system is only a support system.
While it has certain powers of protection, it does not have complete authority.

The in-dwelling entity has a code by which it must live but within that code there are many
freedoms. Thus an entity may choose certain activities which expose it to harm of some kind.

The events of life ... you will misunderstand that word ... the
circumstances of one's life are fashioned by consciousness. The events that come out of
circumstances are predicted on the consciousness exercised under those circumstances. Now, if
you are thinking of an infant born to a parent who is abusive, for instance, that is part of the
contract. But for a choice... an entity may choose to place himself in an area where he will come
to harm. That is not necessarily destiny. So some conditions are destiny and some are not.

TONY: Why is it, then, that some people seem to have help in avoiding some of
those problems? In other words, two people in the same situation at different times -- whatever -
- one person may end up crippled, the other person somehow escapes that problem.

SHEARIAM: There is a very, very accurate system of balances. One is never given something
that he has not earned in some way. Thus you may have two children stricken with a paralyzing
illness, for instance. One is treated in one way, and the other treated in another way, so that the
one remains paralyzed or crippled, and the other recovers. That is due to the consciousness of
the individual. Now the one who remains paralyzed and crippled made the choices of treatment.
Thus that may be a destiny condition. The one who recovers also was born to parents either
chosen or assigned, and thus recovering would be a condition of destiny. But destiny is
determined by the consciousness developed before the assignment to the family is made.

BILL: Do you have knowledge or give instruction about things that we commonly call
UFOs? Perhaps entities from another plane that we might see visually, or things in that area?

SHEARIAM: You are asking about a whole body of information. The UFO, as you call it, is
not just one thing; it is many different things. And thus somewhat outside of the realm of our
discussion here. I would say that UFOs are real. Some come from another dimension. They are
visible by you when they are in your dimension, and become invisible when they go into another
dimension. That is only some of them. There will be more on this at a later time.

[Thank you.]

PAUL: I'm curious about this assignment, you mentioned the word assignment, where a
set of parents are assigned to a child. I'm curious about who does the assigning.

SHEARIAM: Again, since you cannot understand the invisible side of yourself, I cannot
describe to you the invisible hierarchy. I refer you to the lessons being given in the other class.

VOICE: You talk about a contract of the in-dwelling person choosing parents to be
abused. Is that contract between abusive parents and the child, too, as well as on the hierarchy?

SHEARIAM: Sometimes. Sometimes the in-dwelling entity and the parent, or the in-dwelling
entity of the parent, have been in other lifetimes together in differing relationships, and the
physical abuse is only one aspect of the overall relationship. For instance, you might have a
triangle. Two women and a man, for instance, and this might have been a love triangle in some
long past century, and then today a daughter is born to a married couple and that child is the third
member of that triangle. And thus the child may be subject to the abuse of the mother through
the jealousy instinctively, unconsciously stimulated. As consciousness is raised, if that mother
can become aware of the motivation for the abuse, perhaps through the understanding coming
from the child's side, then the relationship is resolved to a higher level of understanding. If that
does not occur, at some other time in some other existence, that triangle may again be created in
some other way until that relationship is worked out and the understanding it was intended to
evolve is manifest.

KARL: I don't know if this is getting off the subject too much, but is there life as
we know it on this Earth on other planets of this solar system, or in another system of another
galaxy?

SHEARIAM: There is life elsewhere. There are planets in other solar systems exactly like your
Earth planet, and there is life there similar to what is here. Not exactly identical, for there is
nothing anywhere that is exactly identical.

[Thank you.]

VOICE: Can you travel to those other planets?

SHEARIAM: I do not.

VOICE: Do others travel back and forth?

SHEARIAM: There are those who are in that capacity.

VOICE: Somewhere I understood that as one raised consciousness higher and
higher, there was some possibility of moving to another planet of a higher consciousness. Is that
accurate, or is that a misunderstanding?

SHEARIAM: It is a poor description of what occurs. One does not, for instance, evolve out of
Earth existence to Jupiter existence. Is that what you were asking?

VOICE: Probably, but I don't know enough to ask the question.

SHEARIAM: There are many realms of existence. And this is the direction in which Judith is
moving in her lessons of cosmogenesis, and as she gives the structure, I shall then give the study
on that structure, and ultimately we will reach the answers to some of these questions. But until
you can understand that you are more than what you believe yourself to be, and can actually
come into command of that greatness which you are, it would be very difficult for you to
understand the existences in which you might participate. But I give you my word that there are
worlds for you to experience that you have not dreamt yet.

VOICE: That sounds exciting.

VOICE: Very interesting.

SHEARIAM: Life is exciting.

PAUL: To what extent on this Earth plane is it possible to have command of that vaster
thing which ...

SHEARIAM: The potential is total. It depends upon the commitment to do so.

PAUL: Can you give us some understanding of the Akashic Records?

SHEARIAM: Rather superficially. Let us say that there is a depository of information in which
all information exists, all potential information, as well as manifest information. When a mind is
given access to this domain of information, only certain portions of it are available to it. There is
a hierarchy that has to do with capacity.

Bringing this down into the realm of your material world, it would do little
good, for the most part, to allow anyone access to records of antiquity, perhaps written in another
language. In the dimension of information resides information unintelligible to most minds of
incarnates, and indeed several realms of existence beyond Earth life. But every thought, every
manifestation, every bit of consciousness, everything goes back to that depository. The
ingredients of knowledge, the ingredients of consciousness, the ingredients of organization come
from that depository originally, and then is fed back in multi-faceted manifestation.

VOICE: Is that what artists and geniuses and people who are [words
indistinguishable due to overriding noise] ...

SHEARIAM: Sometimes. Sometimes your incarnate inventor, musician, artist, and such receive
the ideas by thought transference from entities which have become masters of that craft in a
series of incarnations and are no longer incarnate.

PAUL: Do you have access to the Akashic Records?

SHEARIAM: I do not.

KRISTINE: Have you been on Earth before?

SHEARIAM: A long time ago, so long in my experience that I do not even care to recall.

VOICE: How did you learn to be a teacher; how did you get to the place where you
are now?

SHEARIAM: I have only recently been promoted, if you will, to teacher. Previously I was a
scribe in the Temple.

Going back to the Akashic Records, as you call them -- there are many
stations along the way in which information is hidden [? word hard to understand], assimilated,
and so forth. As a scribe in this particular organization, I had the responsibility of keeping track
of certain things, certain histories of this Earth, certain histories of certain individuals. I worked
at that for a long, long time, and studied under Judith. And when the time came that I was
sufficiently educated and trained, I was then allowed to communicate with groups such as this in
the capacity of a teacher.

[Thank you.]

KARL: How many Earth years ago did Atlantis disappear?

[Long pause.]

SHEARIAM: I cannot tell you that.

VOICE: What period of time did you keep the histories? Can you tell us anything
that we would recognize?

SHEARIAM: Are you speaking of world events?

[Yes.]

I would estimate probably around 12,000 years of your Earth time. Time
with us is different. We have a different reference.

VOICE: Can you tell us anything that was happening on the Earth at that time?

SHEARIAM: How can I answer that?

[Laughter.]

VOICE: Was there technology then like ours now, as advanced, was it more
primitive?

SHEARIAM: Approximately 12,000 years ago the planet was beginning to repopulate itself
after major changes too extensive to describe in a short time. This is what your planet is
approaching now. The end of a cycle. To fulfill the prophecy which has grown up through that
period of time.

KRISTINE: You mentioned that we were going to have some natural disasters. How much
time do we have before that happens?

SHEARIAM: Again, I must advise that time is somewhat elastic, although it does not appear to
be to you. Your cycles for this Earth planet do run in twelves. Approximately. You cannot say
that day one and then twelve thousand years later certain things will occur, or have occurred.

Consciousness has a great deal to do with time. But the consciousness as
it exists among the incarnates of the Earth realm is moving toward the end of a cycle. It is for
that reason that we come as we do, that we teach the things that we do. For it is only in
mankind's consciousness that he can in any way change certain things he has planned for
himself.

As given before, man cannot destroy the planet. He can only destroy
himself. But there are certain cosmic cycles over which man has no control. He has a certain
degree of influence through consciousness. One of those pattern cycles in this solar system in
this galaxy is coming to a conclusion, which is only a beginning. While you will witness
changes on the Earth planet, there will be changes everywhere.

“Nothing” is separate. “Everything” is connected. There is but one
reality. We keep conveying this message because that is what must be understood, that every
thought, no matter how minute, affects everything. “Not” just your solar system. "Not” just
your galaxy, and "not” just your universe. All information goes back to the original depository
of information and affects all else. [The voice gave great emphasis here.]

VOICE: If we have thoughts of fear or negativity, how do we handle those? If we
put a positive thought right after, does that help, or how is it best to handle those fears?

SHEARIAM: Fear must be taken out, examined for what it is ... how it's constituted. What are
the ingredients of that fear, and then there are certain things that can be done about it. A fear
thought which is repressed and replaced by a positive thought remains a fear thought.

VOICE: So look at the fear. Look at the negativity.

SHEARIAM: Indeed. If a child is afraid of a monster under the bed, how do you dispel that
fear?

VOICE: You look under the bed.

SHEARIAM: That is right ...

[Tape ran out.]

[Apparently someone had asked about the Temple.]

... and in some degree for us we have the capacity to create whatever form
we wish to manifest. So, as far as a physical structure is concerned, the Temple might, for one of
us, be shaped like a pyramid, and for another of us like a half-sphere. It is a state of
consciousness.

KRISTINE: Regarding the Earth changes that will be taking place, will there be an avatar
incarnate in a physical body that will come into the Earth at that time?

SHEARIAM: It will depend upon the consciousness of man. While it has been predicted, it
cannot happen except that certain conditions of consciousness exist.

[Thank you.]

TONY: Do you teach to other groups besides us?

SHEARIAM: Yes, I have mentioned that.

VOICE: The Saturday night group. Other groups besides Saturday night group and
our group?

SHEARIAM: Not that I teach. The Temple has teachers teaching groups in a number of areas
around the planet.

VOICE: Is it necessary for you to use the body of someone as a medium to talk to
us or could you do it telepathically?

SHEARIAM: We do it telepathically all the time.

VOICE: Do you read our thoughts as we sit here in the group?

SHEARIAM: I try not to, there is too much static.

[Laughter.]

Besides, if you are made to voice your question, it helps you clarify your
thought. It is a mode of teaching.

KRISTINE: Can you tell us something about how we as individuals can enhance healing,
sharing (with those as if) thoughts with other people?

SHEARIAM: Because you are a complexity of energy systems, there are many ways in which
you can assist the healing process.

You are aware of being thinking entities. Thus you can exercise the
thinking process in a healing mode. To do this most effectively, you should choose a particular
pure principle, such as Love, Peace, Truth, Trust, depending upon the need as you perceive it.
Then, in your thought processes, you hold the entity together with the principle and let the
invisible realm do the work.

At a physical level you are aware that you emit certain energies. For
instance, at the basic level you are aware that there is heat emitted from your body. In the same
way that heat is emitted from your body, so are certain kinds of energy. You have certain points
of focus on your body, mainly one's hands, through which these energies can be emitted in an
intensified manner. Thus healing can be effected through the laying on of hands.

As you put your hands into the aura of another entity, you should take care
that you do not disrupt the organization of the energies of that aura, for by disorganizing those
energies you create more harm than you do good. Always approach an individual in gentleness.
Do not at any time, whether attempting to work in a healing mode or not, ever rush up to an
individual -- approach gently.

As time goes by, we will be dealing more and more with methods of
healing. Healing should begin within the individual. The body is coded with its own pattern. It
is given its own healing devices. Any other body or entity does not effect healing. It only can
create an environment in which the body then heals itself with its own devices. That is true of
the mental body, the emotional body, or any of the other subtle bodies, as well as the organic
body.

[Thank you very much; you've been very helpful.]

VOICE: If we approach with gentleness, then we will be less likely to disturb the
energies of the physical body.

SHEARIAM: If it is done with a compassionate caring, it can bring organization as well as
disorganization.

VOICE: That applies to the physical as well as the mental?

[Yes.]

Is it necessary to ask the person's permission?

SHEARIAM: You should never attempt anything with anyone unless they ask you for it, or
place themselves in the mode of receptivity.

KRISTINE: How does that differ if we think, or send loving thoughts, to that person? Is that
somehow ... is that at all interfering with that person also in terms of healing a condition?

SHEARIAM: Love never interferes. Love is the great preserver.

[Thank you.]

VOICE: If we send colors, is that effective and helpful?

SHEARIAM: In certain circumstances, yes. Again, you should not unless the individual has
requested your help.

VOICE: If we send it with the understanding they can take it if they want, and if
not they can refuse it?

SHEARIAM: That can be done, of course.

KRISTINE: What happens if an individual should send healing thoughts and energies and the
person is not receptive, has not agreed to that? What takes place in the individual?

SHEARIAM: A number of situations can be manifest. The sender's energies can be milked. As
you direct your thoughts to an individual, you establish a pathway. This is invisible but
genuinely physical in the terms of your Earth life. Once that pathway is established, the recipient
can then use that pathway to drain the energies from the sender. This is also a possibility when
the recipient has requested help. Thus one should become aware of the laws governing the
action before lending oneself to that kind of activity.

VOICE: Can one consciously be a channel of energy and not use their own energy
for this?

SHEARIAM: It is hoped that one would work that way all of the time when being a healer.

KRISTINE: What about children who cannot seem to communicate or you cannot ask their
permission?

SHEARIAM: Remember, there are certain contractual agreements or obligations. A parent, for
instance, is obliged to sustain that infant in a healthy condition, is contractually obligated to
provide a healthy, healing environment. No one outside of the parents' authority can interfere
without subsequent consequences except as requested by the parents.

KRISTINE: Then the parents hold a very great responsibility toward that individual.

[Extremely so.]

Much more so than what seems to be on the surface.

[That is true.]

Thank you.

SHEARIAM: Unfortunately, most parents fall short of fulfilling the obligation.

VOICE: What is the child's obligation?

SHEARIAM: Its obligation is to thrive.

KRISTINE: What happens with children, mostly very young children, who are unable to
thrive? For whatever reasons seem not to want to be here?

SHEARIAM: Sometimes, as given before, the in-dwelling entity has difficulty in learning the
modes of operation in the material world. Sometimes the in-dwelling entity is not in sympathy
with the assignment, and thus rebels. There are many circumstances, each one different from the
other.

[Thank you.]

VOICE: If the entity rebels, what happens then? Or is that too much for now?

SHEARIAM: Sometimes the entity is allowed to only partially fulfill the contract, and then
another contract is given which may be more difficult. Sometimes the entity is forced by
authority to fulfill the contract.

VOICE: Where is suicide in this?

SHEARIAM: Sometimes that is the way in which an in-dwelling entity casts off the body when
the authority has granted permission. If the authority has not granted permission, then suicide is
unsuccessful. But the penalties are not worth it, believe me!

VOICE: Gee, negative thoughts again.

SHEARIAM: Your concept of negative and positive is not always actual or real.

VOICE: I don't know enough to ask questions. Could you give any more
information on that?

SHEARIAM: That would take a considerable lecture.

[So another night then?]

Hopefully so.

VOICE: Do you know anything about Jung's theories, Carl Jung?

SHEARIAM: Yes, some.

VOICE: Could you explain the theory of archetypes? And how that affects or
consciousness?

SHEARIAM: The archetypal patterns are those original organizations which serve as principles.
For instance, in your realm, as an Earth incarnate being, your principle "to move” might manifest
as walking, as riding in a vehicle, as any kind of movement; and, I'm sure you will agree that
movement is manifest in myriad ways, but the archetype is "to move." Do you understand?

[Yes, I do.]

VOICE: He talks a lot about opposites, about individuation being the balance of the
opposite sides of our nature.

SHEARIAM: In his view?

[Yes; do you feel that is a valid concept?]

As Judith proceeds with her lessons on cosmogenesis, the student will
come to understand the binary concept on which this universe is founded. And that concept then
is manifest in myriad ways, in myriad existences.

PAUL: Are you talking about a mathematical concept there, or ...

SHEARIAM: Mathematical is one of the myriad manifestations.

PAUL: When you use the word "binary," are you talking about mathematics, or the ...

SHEARIAM: I use that word because it is a word now familiar in your computerized society.

TONY: Are you referring, then, to something more like yin and yang?

[Yes.]

PAUL: Polarities, then.

SHEARIAM: Another manifestation ... Have we then exhausted you?

[General laughter.]

VOICE: Will you be talking, soon I hope, how we can be in touch with our own
family of guides?

SHEARIAM: As the group becomes stabilized, and we can be assured that we need not cover
the groundwork over and over, then an organized system of instruction will be instituted in
which you will be given information on your own work, assignments of practice, discussion of
your experiences.

VOICE: Fine. The tools of astrology, numerology, and such as that, are these tools
to help us?

[Precisely.]

The more we make use of them, the better?

[Exactly.]

Using people who are psychic? That isn't a cop-out on our part, that is just
using another tool.

SHEARIAM: That is another tool. Again, your consciousness can only conceive of certain
things, no matter what may be delivered to it. The individual to whom you apply has certain
responsibilities, as given in the discussion on healing. If that individual steps outside of his own
responsibility by allowing another's dependency upon him, then he has the penalty to pay. If one
develops a dependency upon another that is not right for him, that is not productive to his growth
pattern, then there is the compensatory penalty.

VOICE: How does the Tarot work?

SHEARIAM: As a focus for certain energies of mind, emotion, and for the sake of this
discussion, we will say spirit, the universe is patterned. The Tarot is one example of that
patterning. With the assistance of the invisible hierarchy of protectors, of both the reader and the
sitter, the cards are arranged in certain organizations, and the reader is directed in certain modes
of thought. Thus certain information is elicited.

[Thank you.]

KRISTINE: There are so many different modes of healing, why or how do individuals respond
to certain kinds of healing and not to others?

SHEARIAM: Because each individual is a very complex system. Let us use the analogy of
education. One individual may learn very rapidly through reading the printed word. Another
individual may learn more rapidly through the spoken word. Another individual learns most
rapidly through experimentation. All of these are educating processes. What suits one does not
suit another. So the same with the healing process.

[Thank you.]

By the same token, a healer is a complex system. And thus cannot serve
everyone. As in the analogy of education, no single teacher can teach equally each and every
student.

VOICE: Should we be concentrating more in color and music in healing? Have we
been absent in this field?

SHEARIAM: Certain components of your question are relative. Some healers are working only
with those constituents.

[Rather long silence.]

Is it time, then, for our closing meditation?

[Some comments, some thank you's, etc.]

SHEARIAM: Very well.

Settle your bodies, focus your attention, and come with me for a stroll
down a pathway. It is a sunny day, you can feel the sun on your skin. As you walk along, in
your imagination, on your pathway, you become aware that you are carrying something. As you
walk, the sun becomes too warm, and your burden becomes heavy.
Continue along the pathway until you find a gate in the fence to your right, and there
pause. Put your burden down beside the pathway and go through the gate. As you go through
the gate, you find yourself in a delightful meadow, and you see a little ways before you a quiet
pond, a shady tree. Go there, and sit beside the water. If you wish, you may bathe your dusty
feet in the cool water.

There, beneath the shade, beside the water, you find a peace stealing over
you. Relax and enjoy that peacefulness ...

[Tape ran out.]
