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.]
