Thursday Session #6 - April 5, 1984

GLORIA: Take some deep breaths so you relax your abdomen, and your chest, and your
shoulders. Move your head if you have to, if you have any tension in your neck. From the very
first time we met -- my experience, my training, was to go into trance while the group was singing.
Last year we had a group that met on Tuesday night that didn't do very well with singing until we
had a real singer come in and bring us together.
So when we began this group, I decided to take another tact, and I asked
Dorothy what she thought might be something we could do. She suggested we all concentrate on a
rose, and it worked so well that we have begun using meditation on the rose to start with, and it
seems to make a nice pathway for me.
So, if you are all ready, I will invite you to put your attention on the candle.
The candle is pink, a nice rosy pink, and as you focus your attention there, begin to visualize a
rosebud. Breathe deeply and sense the vibration of a rosebud, see some dew glistening on the
petals, see it reaching toward the sun, and know that each one of you is like that rosebud.
You reach toward the light of your being, you reach upward to unfold. And
as the rose reaches toward the sun, begin to see it unfold into a beautiful blossom and know that
even as you grow and mature, you flower into the beauty of your own spiritual being. And now as
you contemplate on the rose, and the meaning of the life in growth, I will excuse myself, and I will
see you later.
SHEARIAM: Good evening, students and friends.
[Responses.] And how have you fared since last we met?
[Responses.] And about your understanding, have you studied the material that
has been given?
[Silence, then, "Working on it."]
That is very encouraging. Thank you. Perhaps we would need some review.
Do you understand "existence"?
[Some affirmative responses.]
Very good. We shall hope that the rest catch up. And "existence" must need
then have consciousness, correct?
["Yes."]
And what is "consciousness"?
["Knowing that we exist."]
Do you know that you exist?
["Yes.Can't prove it." Some laughter.]
Those that said "yes," how do you know that you exist?
["I can separate myself from others."]
That is correct -- you recognize your individuality. That you are singular in
your expression of "all that is." And do you understand that the minutest particle of your universe
has consciousness?
["Yes."]
Wonderful! We are moving along. Let us then this night discuss human
consciousness.As consciousness flows through the human condition, it includes thinking, emotion,
choice, anticipation, remembering, imagination, but most importantly of all, response to an idea and
the ability to enlarge upon that idea. Do you understand that?
[Affirmative responses.]
Now, your physical body and all of your subtle bodies are organized
energies which consciousness uses. Within the physical body there are connection points with the
subtle bodies. The subtle bodies incorporate the various facets of consciousness which I just
enumerated. In some systems of belief, these points of connection are called chakras. Are you
familiar with that term?
[Affirmative responses.]
Then you are familiar with energy centers, is that true?
["Yes."] Are you then using your energy centers with consciousness will?
["Not always."] It is the use of these connection points in awareness that
enables you to expand your understanding, to enlarge upon the idea which you represent. That idea
being in the mind of Supreme Beingness. As an archetype. We were previously asked about the
archetypes of your Dr. Jung. Each of you is an expression of some archetype. Do you understand
what an archetype is?
[General uncertainty.]
TONY: Do you mean we are an expression of one, or of multiple archetypes?
SHEARIAM: At the level of which I speak at this moment, you are the expression of one. One
Divine Pattern. As consciousness moves away from Supreme-ness, it develops other patterns, and
in some instances, these patterns are considered archetypes, but they are archetypes of what might
be said to be a lower nature or condition, because they become diffused. The primal archetype
would be considered in language to be grammatical verbs, primary verb being "to be." This is the
prime archetype. It is the archetype of existence in your universe.
Now we discussed previously that your universe is only one of many. Thus
there are other archetypes for other universes, but for now you must deal with the universe in which
this consciousness is focused. You must deal with here and now. And what is your estimate of the
job you are doing?
["Oh dear!" Some laughter.]
TONY: Are you asking for an evaluation?
SHEARIAM: No one can evaluate you but yourself. It is your opinion that counts. It is your
individuated portion of universal consciousness which responds to an idea and enlarges upon it. It
is only the human being occupying this particular point of space and time which has the
consciousness to respond to an idea and enlarge upon it. There are some expressions in the animal
kingdom which come close to this activity.
The human consciousness is evolved out of animal consciousness, but do
not be misled into believing that your body has evolved out of the animal kingdom body. In the
creation of your universe the probability of the human body was already programmed, as were the
probabilities of all the animal bodies. One might say that the archetype of this planet was Noah's
Ark. That dear legend gives much wisdom if interpreted correctly.
Your planet might be said to be the Ark as it came into being in the right
proportions as given in the archetypal idea. And all life forms in it and on it conform to the
archetypal plan. It is only within this plan that a body can develop. Human consciousness develops
the body and the conditions under which that body lives its life. But it can only develop the body in
accordance with the Divine Pattern for bodies. Have we yet stimulated any questions?
SITTER: I have one. What do you mean the human consciousness evolved from the animal
consciousness? How so?
SHEARIAM: Consciousness flows throughout all existence. Its capacity to develop and use
awareness is a result of the evolutionary pattern. This is why I asked if you understood the
consciousness of the mineral and plant kingdoms as well as animal and human. In the mineral
kingdom, as given before, there is not self-consciousness, for there is not awareness of
individuality. In the plant kingdom, the consciousness of growth is to fulfill the coded form and
thus a parrot does not become a daisy, but it has no distinct sense of being individual.As
consciousness evolves, it produces a higher form of intellect and thus develops self-consciousness.
In the animal kingdom there is that awareness of individuality and differentness. But there is still
not true self-consciousness, only an awareness of separateness.
TONY: Can you elaborate on the difference between self-consciousness and
separateness?
SHEARIAM: A dog may realize it is not a cat, but it does not have the capacity to understand "I
AM." But it is moving consciousness-wise in that direction. So you do find in the animal kingdom
evidence which might be interpreted as being a self-conscious expression. One dog understands its
separateness from another dog, and yet it does not have the self-consciousness to move outside of
its instincts, but it can accept training and conditioned responses. The plant kingdom can accept
training and conditioned responses. But the mineral kingdom cannot.
KARL: In other words, getting back to evolution slightly, it seems as though the animal
kingdom, and the plant kingdom, and the human kingdom, all came out of the ocean. Is that right?
SHEARIAM: Not precisely in the way that evolutionists are expounding at this time. Indeed,
everything in the universe has been born out of the element "water." And this has given rise to the
idea that birth here on this planet began in the ocean. This is not precisely true. In the birth of this
planet, in the archetypal idea and plan for planets of this nature, lies the process of combining
elements into various life forms. The fact that there are similarities seemingly traceable back to
certain life forms has given rise to supposition that plant, animal and human have arisen from the
ocean.
["Thank you."]
This could be said to be true if you consider ocean to be the ocean of
universal energy.
BONNIE: What do you think of this recent -- I shouldn't say recent, but it seems like it's just
come up again -- this struggle between the evolutionists and the creationists? Schools don't want to
teach one or the other. What do you think of that?
SHEARIAM: It is an evolution of consciousness as this planet moves into a new level of
understanding itself. Understanding always must begin with conflict. You are existent in a
polarized universe. There is always the opposing pole. And it is the confrontation of these poles
which ultimately brings about synthesis, thus understanding. This controversy at this time is a
significant indicator of the rising consciousness of this nation as it moves to take its place in the
coming conditions of the planet.
SITTER: Is this fermenting and consciousness taking place in other places besides the United
States?
SHEARIAM: Yes indeed. One of the hotbeds of controversy is now the Iran of ancient Persia.
The conflicting viewpoints there are leading to a new belief system, and that is what is happening in
the United States. As the planet shrinks due to technological advancement, mankind must begin to
synthesize the separated viewpoints, moving back to the concept of unity, or one-ness. Only in
confrontation can this synthesis be developed.
KALI: Does this mean confrontation with the opposite parts of ourselves?
SHEARIAM: That too.
KALI: And when that happens, is it similar that the two opposites get tougher and then they
form a new thing, or how does that balance?
SHEARIAM: Yes, all growth produces new things. But the old must also be built upon. Nothing
becomes discarded or lost. It becomes recycled.
KALI: Could you give an example of how opposites might get together in a balanced kind
of way, like love and hate, for example, or something similar to that?
SHEARIAM: Love and hate, first of all, are not polar opposites. They are both magnetic in the yin
energy. They become neutralized when the yang energy is incorporated. This comes through
confrontation in consciousness, usually as a result of action taken.
KALI: I don't understand how that works.
SHEARIAM: The emotional consciousness of love has the same magnetic vibration of attraction
as the emotional consciousness of hate. When one is in the emotional consciousness of hate, hate is
attracted. When one is in the emotional consciousness of love, love is attracted. As one moves into
a higher level of activity in consciousness, you begin to recognize that the emotional energy is the
same but different in expression. What one confronts is how one expresses that energy.
[Tape ran out.]
KALI: ... emotions are. I guess I don't understand.
SHEARIAM: Emotion is a yin energy.
KALI: Can you give an example of a yang energy?
SHEARIAM: Thinking is a yang energy.
BONNIE: So, in other words, if we are thinking, we don't love? I don't ... Once we start
thinking, we don't love?
SHEARIAM: You synthesize the two. The question was, “How do you reach a synthesis?” And
love does not confront hate within the same individual. Thought is the polarity of emotion, and
these two work together to result in action. So thought must confront emotion and emotion must
confront thought, and when the two work together in the way that you want them to work to
produce the ends desired, there is synthesis. Sometimes the desired end is one of antagonism and
antipathy, and sometimes it is one of empathy and affection. But the energy is the same.
["Thank you."]
BETTY: Would you explain that more or give an illustration?
SHEARIAM: In the Christian theology you have Father, Son and Holy Ghost. You have the Holy
Ghost as the messenger between Father and Son. In all religions, you will find this balancing
action. There may be a female and a male god who have a child such as in the ancient Greek
mythologies. Wherever you look in your life, you will find these triplicities.
TONY: Does that also relate in the Huna with the Lower, Middle and Higher Self?
SHEARIAM: That is correct. As the Higher Self moves on, there must be another Lower Self to
take the place of the Lower Self which moves to the Middle Self, and the Middle Self previous
moves to the Higher Self.
KALI: So where does that come from? You're talking about the same person, aren't you?
SHEARIAM; We are talking about consciousness. We are not talking about singular life spans.
And the consciousness in that context, and it is a good one, comes from the animal kingdom into
the human realm as an elementary, as it attaches to the Middle Self which is attached to a Higher
Self. It is brought up into the consciousness of human action wherein ideas may be responded to
and enlarged upon. As the Higher Self graduates, it becomes a Lower Self of a more evolved
entity. Perhaps what is confusing here is the use of the word "self." If perhaps you substituted the
word "individuality" or "individuation" it might be more clear.
QUESTION: Are you talking about transmigration?
SHEARIAM: No. We are not.
["Okay. I'm confused."]
SHEARIAM: Let us then use an analogy. Try for the moment to erase from your mind the concept
of a physical organism. Let us consider consciousness as layers of beingness. There is a layer of
beingness at the mineral kingdom level, and a layer of beingness at a plant kingdom level, and a
layer of beingness at the animal kingdom level. The mineral level of consciousness could be said to
the a "low self," the plant kingdom to be a "middle self," and the animal kingdom to be a "higher
self" or individuation. As that consciousness evolves in awareness, the animal layer moves into the
human layer as a "low self." And a plant layer moves into the animal layer as a "higher self." And
a not-yet manifested consciousness may then manifest at the level of the mineral layer.
As the animal consciousness moves into the human sphere it begins to
develop awareness of creative action. When it moves out of the animal kingdom as a "high self" of
the lower realms and becomes a "low self" of the higher realms it must express itself differently, so
it takes a different form. But this is the evolution of consciousness, not the migration of entity
through these realms. So animals do not become people. Consciousness evolves into self-
awareness through expressing in these realms. Does that help?
["Yes. Thank you."]
TONY: Then that doesn't apply to the huna idea of lower, middle and higher self?
SHEARIAM: Why does it not?
TONY: How would it?
SHEARIAM: Just as it was explained at this moment.
KALI: You should understand that ...
[laughter.]
... I am confused also on that point, because I thought that hunas say that the
lower, middle and high self meant within us, within us as a person. Is that how you got it?
[Apparently directed to Tony, who answered, "That's how I see it."]
SHEARIAM: But those are levels of consciousness that are expressing in the human condition,
and the low self of a human was a high self of the lower kingdoms.
[Some okays as though browbeaten!]
That does not mean that that lower self expressed as any particular animal,
only it came from that consciousness level.
TONY: If we move from the Earth's sphere to another sphere, is that all three levels
moving, or just the higher self moving, or what consciousness is moving?
KALI: Are you saying, like, when you die?
TONY: Yes, if you die and you move from the Earth's sphere into another sphere.
KALI: Or in an out-of-body experience?
TONY: Yes, or in an out-of-body experience.
SHEARIAM: All of these things. Now, an out-of-body experience does not separate you from the
physical vehicle except temporarily, and there is no separation then between the three parts, or
layers, of consciousness. When one is permanently separated from this most recent vehicle, all
parts move into the new realm of being, until such time as each level of consciousness is ready to
make that graduation into the next level. When a "low self" is ready to become a "middle self," it
must draw upon the "high self" layer of consciousness of the lower realm and adopt a "lower self"
before the original "high self" can separate. A "higher self" cannot leave a "middle" and "low" self
to fend for themselves.
[Comments: "That's good."]
TONY: Could that happen within a lifetime?
SHEARIAM: There ultimately will be that lifetime when this graduation takes place.
DAVID: Isn't all the time going on now? This means the past is going on while the
present is going on?
SHEARIAM: You are getting into another discussion.
[Laugher. "An interesting one."] Which we will deal with when the time is
right.
["All right."]
BONNIE: Is there any way to lose this consciousness and go back?
SHEARIAM: No. Once a union has taken place on three levels of consciousness, those three
levels may backslide, which is part of the human condition. One never grows or moves forward or
upward at an absolute steady pace. There will be spurts of growth and plateaus and sometimes
what seems to be a regression. But one never truly loses anything gained in consciousness. It may
seem so.
KALI: Is there communication between the "low,middle," and "high" selves?
SHEARIAM: There most certainly is.
KALI: And is there communication between the "high self" and something "higher?"
SHEARIAM: Indeed. Even as the mineral, plant and animal kingdom of consciousness are in
communication with the human level of consciousness.
KALI: Is that what you call the Source when you are communicating with something
higher than the high self? Or is the high self Source?
SHEARIAM: The "high self" would be the lowest rung of the Source body.
KRISTINE: Could you elaborate on that?
SHEARIAM: Source actually would go clear up to Supreme Beingness, but those realms are too
rarified for the intellect to communicate with directly, unless that rarified level of consciousness
reaches downward. I dislike using directional terms because they are misleading, but inasmuch as
you live in a time-space orientation, we must satisfy ourselves with this terminology. As
consciousness moves down, flows through the multi-levels, and ultimately into the mineral
kingdom, there is communication all along the way.
And so Supreme Being is the ultimate Source of all that is. In between, if
we can talk spatially, reside intellects, energies, individuation of the Supreme, with varying degrees
of expertise in various created enterprises. As worlds are created by these creative energies, that
which is created becomes an obligation or responsibility of the creator.
As you move down into what might be said to be "denser" realms, the
creative process persists. That which has given birth to you as an individual remains responsible
for you to that which gave it birth. And so the responsibility moves on up the hierarchy of creative
power. As we reach the idea of planet Earth and its human inhabitants, there are many created
individuations which have taken on the form of beings, but have not taken on the form of Earth-
body. These beings having been involved in the creation of you as an individual are responsible for
you, and as you, yourself, love that which you have created, these source beings, parental beings, if
you would, love you, guide you, support you, protect you.
So Source is not just one entity at this level of expression of consciousness,
but becomes many, and not all members of a particular family of source people have responsibility
for only one Earth-physical being. As given before, we could use the analogy of the educational
process. There is a family, genealogical family, out of which your body comes. Parts of that family
have some obligations to you. Out of the invisible family, from which came the in-dwelling spirit,
which you recognize as "I," all these parental beings have a given responsibility for you, but they
also have created others for whom they have a responsibility. Some of these responsibilities
involve spiritual education, some of them involve physical safety, healing, inspiration, comfort,
guidance, developmental skills. But these invisible people are also subject to a source group,
which hovers above them, giving them guidance and direction, and so on up the ladder.
Does that help you?
["Yes. Thank you."]
KALI: How can we be ... what can we do to be more open to that communication with a
source person, so we can really hear ...
SHEARIAM: Watch for action. Your source people are eager to make close intimate contact with
you and be recognized. As you begin to notice the actions in your life, those events which seem to
be especially important to you, you can be assured that members of your source group are directly
involved in the arrangement of those circumstances. It is Source which provides your abundance of
health, of happiness, of prosperity, of self-expression.
Anything which you wish to contemplate is granted you by virtue of your
beginning, that from which you came. It is only when you feel separate and alone that you become
dis-eased, unhappy, poverty-stricken. As you observe the events of your life, and recognize the fine
touch of your invisibles, offering a word of thanks opens that psychological door to receive the
response, and thus contact is experienced.
SITTER: What is Universal Mind?
SHEARIAM: That is one of those rarified realms of which I spoke. It is a level of consciousness
with a particular action, a particular composition, which we call "mind."
KRISTINE: Is this Source group you speak of responsible for helping us in our dream state?
SHEARIAM: Most certainly. The individual who does not make contact in a conscious state must
have contact in an unconscious state. One could not survive this vale of tears without contact of the
support group. In that respect there is difference between your relationship with the invisible
support group and your relationship with the Earth family into which you were born. You may
leave your Earth mother and father, Earth brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, whatever, and survive.
But you cannot survive without the support of the invisible family to which you belong.
["Thank you."]
BETTY: Does this invisible family follow us through several incarnations?
SHEARIAM: Yes indeed.
BETTY: Are the other members of the family ... do they incarnate at other times and
we provide support for them?
SHEARIAM: That also.
BETTY: You spoke of this experience as a "vale of tears." Could you explain that or
expand that a little more?
SHEARIAM: This world in which you now find expression is weighted on the negative side. It is
not meant that man should suffer. It is those who are able to come into this weighted experience
and transcend that polarization who ultimately will bring this expression out of that one-sided
weight. Until that cycle is reached, it is a vale of tears, for we weep for mankind.
DARLENE: Isn't it true that we create the world we live in?
SHEARIAM: Individually, and then collectively. And collectively mankind has weighted
opportunity against himself.
DARLENE: As we change our thought pattern, then we will change the experience.
SHEARIAM:Exactly, but you must also change the emotional pattern. You cannot think peace
and go through life resenting what you see as being negative and successfully represent the other
polarity. This is what we were talking about on the question here of love and hate. It is thought and
emotion which must confront each other and agree. As long as you think and say one thing and feel
and live another, you are not accomplishing your goal.
SITTER: Can you give us some insight or some help in releasing these emotions such as fear
or anger?
SHEARIAM: What is the ultimate fear? I believe we have discussed this before, but it is a good
thing to review.
SITTER: The ultimate fear was non-being, was it not?
SHEARIAM: Annihilation. Thus one must emotionally grasp the belief in his eternality. One
must also give up his ... I hesitate to use the word "ego" because it is misleading. Perhaps "egoism"
might better explain. We discussed this in the last time we met. The need to give up pride of
authorship. When you cease to be threatened, you no longer need to resent or to be angry.
This is why we so adamantly encourage introspection, self-observance; you
must first admit that what you fear the most is ceasing to be. Then you must grasp, however you
can, that you cease to be never. You always are. Until such time, if it is in the plan, that The
Absolute absorbs everything that exists back into Itself, you will not cease to be individualized.
Then you can come to the realization that passing from this physical body is not the end of you.
Once having overcome the fear of death, what is left to fear? Once having
overcome fear, what is left to be angry or resentful about? You only become angry and resentful
when your individuality, your individuated existence, appears to be threatened in some way. When
you emotionally grasp your immortality, when consciousness is allowed to be Divine in the human
condition, there will be no more war, for there will be no struggle for dominance, no need to defend
territory. There will be the realization that all you can ever have is yourself.
BETTY: Now, Judith said there were times when it is all right to exercise the Law of
Dominance. Could you give us an example of that on a real simple level?
SHEARIAM: The Law of Dominance is the law of self-mastery. When you dominate yourself and
your own life, when you truly enact and live by the Law of Dominance, no one can threaten you.
You are absolutely secure within the citadel of your own Divine Self.
BETTY: Does this mean that there would be no need to stand up for what we see as
right for ourselves or for another?
SHEARIAM: You would then see that everything is right, for you would see the truth of all. You
only see wrong because of fragmented perception.
DARLENE: Then when we see the things around us that bother us are really the things within
ourselves we need to work on.
SHEARIAM: Exactly.
DARLENE: That leaves a lot to work on, doesn't it?
[General response.]
KRISTINE: How can we, on a simple level, attain that mastery?
[Several comments about simple, and simple--not easy.]
SHEARIAM:It is unlikely that in this lifetime you will attain self-mastery. It is wholly possible,
but again, as given before, are you willing to give up everything you now consider as yours? When
you reach that point that you could willingly give up all of the physical manifestations that are
important to you, you will be living under the Law of Relinquishment, and you will have mastered
yourself, and all physical manifestation will be yours. You will have reached that consciousness
which you call the Christ Consciousness. We here know that few in the physical existence are
capable of such detachment, thus we come to help. There among us are those who heal, who
comfort, who teach, who guide, who serve at whatever capacity is needed.
TONY: Is it really a matter of capability or is it a matter of willingness and trust in
the concept?
SHEARIAM: Faith, trust, peace, love, truth.
DARLENE: Aren't we all here ultimately reaching for that goal of trying to reach the Christ
Consciousness?
SHEARIAM: Those here in this room, yes. Planet-wise, no.
SITTER: By physical manifestation, do you mean physical manifestation of our body?
SHEARIAM: And your food, and your house, and your car, and your money in the bank, and your
petty little likes, and dislikes, irritations, happinesses.
DARLENE: You mean, give them up or understand that they are just for our use?
SHEARIAM: When you can grasp the principle that you do not own anything, you will not be
required to give it up, for you will be able to manifest anything you desire ... Why do you Earth-
humans tie up your power of exchange in bank accounts and stocks, in concrete things, instead of
keeping that in circulation? Why do you save for a rainy day? Why do you prepare for your old
age? If you live in the Christ Consciousness, you would know that abundance is supplied, that the
way is always open. Those who have will share and provide. Now, please do not believe that I am
promoting Socialism. That is a system of belief in your Earth existence. There is no need for
sectarianism. There is no need for political party. When you have reached the Christ
Consciousness, whatever you desire of the Earth plane shall be yours. You have the stories of Jesus
to demonstrate this level of consciousness. You can do all of these and more.
KRISTINE: Are there people living on the Earth at this time that have attained that Christ
Consciousness?
SHEARIAM: Not at this point in time. There are a handful, if you will, who have approached that
level of consciousness.
["Sister Teresa, maybe, or somebody like that?"]
SHEARIAM: That level of consciousness is approached first through the doorway of body control.
["Would you explain that a little more?" General consensus.]
SHEARIAM: Yes, like yogis. You know that under a certain state of consciousness which you
call hypnosis, your mind controls body function. Bleeding can be stopped. Pain can be done away
with. You can do this in a normal state of consciousness by an act of conscious will. It must be
learned, but you can do it. And there are some now alive, as you term it, who do this.
["Do they move in and out of their physical bodies?"]
SHEARIAM: All of you do.
["Not consciously, too much."]
SHEARIAM: Many can do it consciously now. It is part of the awakening of the human
consciousness.
KRISTINE: Is refining our diet, fasting, one of the methods used to gain control of our bodies?
SHEARIAM: That is not essential to the process. When you have control of the body, you can put
anything into it and transmute it.
KRISTINE: But how do we get to that point? How can we work towards that, step by step?
SHEARIAM: Learn first of all of your thought processes. That is where you can become aware of
error of thought. But you first, at your current level of consciousness, tend to demonstrate a
physical discomfort before you realize that you are thinking an error thought. When you develop
health consciousness, you will no longer experience discomfort in the physical organism. From
there you can move on to controlling some of the other functions. Because you have intervened
between the "low self" and the "middle self."
DAVID: Is that thought control?
SHEARIAM: Well, of course it is thought control. It is your own control of your own thought. I
am not suggesting that you give control of your thoughts to another. Personal responsibility is
upper-most. One of the problems of your society today is that there are too many willing to
abdicate their personal responsibility, and thus turn their lives over to a leader who then exploits
them.
DARLENE: “Thought control”, then, would not be the right term. It would be learning to
concentrate your thought on one point.
SHEARIAM: That is concentration. I am thinking, I am speaking of, controlling your thinking.
You are not your thoughts. You are not solely your thinker. There is that "I AM-ness" of you
which observes your thinking. You have said to yourself, "Now why did I think that?" which
shows observation of the thinking process.
DAVID: You have to move outside of thinking, then, to observe the thinking itself.
SHEARIAM: Yes. And thus you have a practice called meditation, which serves that purpose for
you admirably.
SITTER: There are different kinds of meditation. Is that correct?
SHEARIAM: That is correct.
SITTER: What level would transcendental meditation fall into?
SHEARIAM: Moving above and beyond the thinking process. Moving into a state of
consciousness where one is aware of existing in all parts of the universe simultaneously.
KRISTINE: Is there a type of meditation or a technique that is best for us in this room, for where
we are at this point in time?
SHEARIAM: That would be a general instruction of meditation which is a highly personal
individualized experience. We would suggest, however, that you begin with the affirmation "I
AM." And then be the "I AM" that is observing your "I AM." Keep moving inward, because when
you said "I AM" that is at first an externalized understanding. Go into that which sees itself saying
"I AM." And then go into that which sees itself seeing itself saying "I AM." And keep on going
inward. That is a beginning for anyone.
["Thank you. That is helpful."]
DARLENE: May I ask a question on another subject that you covered in the second and third
sessions of this group?
SHEARIAM: Ask; I may not answer.
DARLENE: Okay. In the second session of this group you said that you could not take over this
body that you are communicating through because if a separate entity took over a body, the body
would disintegrate. In the third session you remarked that some fetuses are delivered and the entity
that had agreed, or was going to take over the body, didn't want to at that time, so there was a
babysitter entity. Now, how can that work, and yet not walk-ins and things like that? I don't
understand the difference there.
SHEARIAM: The walk-ins as given are said to take up permanent residence. The fetus and
childsitter is a temporary assignment, and when the limited time is reached, and the in-dwelling
entity does not take possession, that physical organism ceases.
DARLENE: So it would be somewhat like your taking over Gloria's body for just a short period
of time.
SHEARIAM: It must be a short period of time, yes.
DARLENE: Because when you mentioned the babysitting, you mentioned something up to age
seven?
SHEARIAM: Yes.
CORBIN: When does the entity take over the fetus, or the fetus has developed and left the
womb, does reincarnation take place at that particular time -- I mean, incarnation; I'm sorry.
SHEARIAM: That was previously discussed. Do we have any other question?
SITTER: For the in-dwelling entity, you said there was a time limit. Is this time limit always
the same, or is it different for different circumstances?
SHEARIAM: In the cycle of man as he now exists in this Earth plane, it is seven years.
SITTER: It is said that the child forms his basic personality by the time he is three years old.
KALI: Even eighteen months.
SITTER: I don't understand how this fits together. Can you explain a little bit more?
SHEARIAM: Remember, first of all, that it is an unusual circumstance that a sitter must be
assigned. There is also the genetic code of the physical organism, the consciousness of those cells,
to be considered.
SITTER: Is the consciousness of my body, the cells itself, a part of my consciousness at a
lower level?
SHEARIAM: Yes. And because it is at a lower level, you can control the consciousness of the
body, so that it does not function in certain programmed ways such as bleeding.
SITTER: So, like in astral travel, I would leave a part of my consciousness here to watch the
body while the rest of me went?
SHEARIAM: Yes indeed. That is why you cannot be separated from your body while astrally
projected. The consciousness cannot be separated. There is not only a "lower" consciousness with
the body; there is also a portion of the "middle" and "higher" consciousness. It is a unit, and cannot
be separated until certain conditions are met. It is your awareness residing in certain portions of the
consciousness which travels away from the physical organism. But when the physical organism
needs your return, you cannot resist that return.
TONY: The conditions you just mentioned, are they part of the original contract?
SHEARIAM: Yes, but they might be temporary conditions. For instance, while you are astrally
projected, some incident might occur which threatens the basic organism and consciousness would
return to protect it.
BONNIE: Is it difficult to learn to astrally project? That is something I would like to learn how
to do.
SHEARIAM: Again, that is an individual experience, but there most certainly are valid techniques.
You might ask the channel for assistance in that regard.
SITTER: As we are developing our consciousness and doing what we can, is it helpful to
watch our diet and what we do with the physical body?
SHEARIAM: It is very advisable to understand the workings of your physical organism, for it is
your vehicle. It is programmed from its conception for certain tolerances and certain intolerances.
Until you develop the consciousness which enables you to control the consciousness of the cells,
you must operate within those tolerances and intolerances.
SITTER: I know it would be different for different bodies.
SHEARIAM: Oh, indeed!
DARLENE: In your third session again, you talked about suicide, and that at some times it was
acceptable with the right authority, or has that been asked?
SHEARIAM: It is the authority of the power hierarchy which established the contract in the first
place.
DARLENE: And then otherwise it would be totally unacceptable.
SHEARIAM: There would be penalties.
["Thank you."]
DAVID: Is that why a lot of attempted suicides don't make it?
SHEARIAM: Exactly. The invisibles will not permit the death if it is not time, or if the penalty is
too severe. There are many reasons why suicide is prevented.
We are aware of the diminishing energies in the group. We suggest we have
our closing meditation.
[Meditation not recorded. NOTE: If sitter's names are incorrect, please bear with us. Where
"sitter" is used, the voice was not identifiable to us at all.]
Meditation: April 5, 1984
Settle yourselves comfortably in your chairs. Turn your attention inward.
Become aware of the breath going in and out of your lungs. Be aware that you can control the
muscular action which draws breath in and which expels it. As you witness the breathing in and
breathing out process, you become aware of the rhythm of life.
And then if you still your body very still, you become aware of the pulse
beat of your heart. And then as you become aware of the rhythm of your breathing and the different
rhythm of your heart, and you become very, very still, you become aware of the life pulsation
throughout the tissues of your body as each cell, each organ, functions in its own rhythm according
to its own nature.
And then as you become very, very, very still, you become aware of the flow
of the blood through your veins -- that eternal circulation which is a tiny replica of the circulation of
universal energy throughout the body of expression which encompasses us all.
Now allow your attention to move outward through the external portion of
your physical organism and you become aware of the subtle vibratory rhythm of your auric field.
And as you develop this sensitivity, you become aware of the organization of energy which
surrounds your physical organism and you are aware of the movement and the rhythm of that
organization. And as you tune in to this finer vibration, your physical organism may even feel as
though it is blocking. That is its response to the organized rhythm of the subtle bodies which
surrounds the physical organism.
Now allow your awareness to continue to expand until you become aware of
the rhythm of the people who sit on either side of you ... and then as you become aware of those
varying rhythms, you find your rhythms changing themselves into a synchronization so that the
subtle bodies begin to throb in unison. Now in this unity of rhythm, begin to feel within your
emotional body that sense of peace and wholeness which represents perfect health, and as you move
into that consciousness the tissues of your physical organism respond and you experience healing.
Now with this energy present, it is available for all, for the Invisibles about
each of you and the healers from the Temple join also their energy and bring the organization of
perfected wholeness so that each, in his own way, can tune into that united vibration and carry the
healing with him as he leaves the group. You may also, by voicing aloud the names of those about
whom you have concern, invite their consciousnesses to join in this vibration.
Now, even as your loved ones come to join us, continue the expansion.
Allow this synchronized vibration of peace and wholeness to move out from this room, moving
throughout your community, throughout your nation, and around the world that all who are of like
mind may join and synchronize their energy and thus attune the planet's consciousness to the
polarity of peace.
And even as the carrier waves of your thoughts perform this service, you
enjoy a sense of upliftment, of lightness, and a gratification that you once again have contributed to
the positive polarity and moved mankind forward, no matter how infinitesimally.
And now we give thanks to the presence of the Invisibles who have come to
join us from rarer realms. And we release our loved ones to return to themselves, taking with them
the healing and peace.
I give you my love and blessings, and I take with me the sense of your
accomplishment, and so I bid you good night.
