Thursday Session #7 - April 19, 1984
Gloria’s Circle
PRESENT: Karl Lofquist, Stacey Raffety, Pat Swope, Kristine Curry, David Burns, Peggy and Corbin Willis,
Wes Sinclair, Connie Faubel, Dorothy Lee, Tony Richardson; Gloria Rivers - Medium
GLORIA: Take some deep breaths and relax your abdomens. Let the tension flow out of your shoulders and
the back of your neck. Begin to focus your attention on the candle. Visualize for yourself the rose bud. Begin to
identify with the rose bud. And then visualize the rose bud as it opens its petals to the sun, even as you here in the
circle will be opening yourselves to the light of information. And even as the rose absorbs the sunlight according to
its own analysis of what it needs, so you will take in what you hear here tonight in accordance with your needs and
your analytical capacity. So now concentrate very firmly on the rose. It takes groups concentration to generate the
energy for me to be effective in trance. And as you envision the rose and identify with it, I will be silent.
[Silence.]
SHEARIAM: Good evening.
[Responses. "Good evening."]
And how have you all fared since last we met?
[Responses. "Fine,okay."]
As I recall we were discussing consciousness last, and no where near exhausted
the subject. Shall we review to some extent? [Responses. "Please do,yes."]
Our premise is that consciousness flows throughout your universe, our universe --
that in the lease minutest particle which comprises your universe, consciousness exists. Thus there is
consciousness in the mineral kingdom, and in the plant kingdom, and in the animal kingdom, and in the
human kingdom, and in all realms beyond, and in all realms before.
To the consciousness which you currently exercise there is not anything below the
mineral kingdom. The question had been asked in a previous time if there were existence that might be
said to be below planet Earth, and the answer is yes, but it could not be described to you. Only through
your intuitive processes could you incorporate the awareness of the consciousness that exists at a lower
level than your planet. So it behooves us not to spend time discussing such a proposition. It is more
important that you come to an understanding of the consciousness in which you currently live, because at
the time your current span of years comes to an end, your consciousness carries on.
You do not immediately become changed in consciousness as a result of passing
through the corridor of transition. What you are at the moment of your so-called death, you are for a
considerable period of time thereafter. So it behooves you to become aware of the consciousness in
which you live if you wish to make your immortality more valuable to you. Furthermore, understanding of
consciousness enables you to quantify the quality which you are. As given before, it is only the
quantifying of quality that enables man to rescue himself from the conditions which he has created. We
know that in our previous sessions we have left many questions unanswered and many more unasked. I
would give you now the opportunity to ask questions based on what has been given before that needs
further clarification.
TONY: What happens to a person's consciousness ... Let me back up. You mentioned that there were
three levels of consciousness within a person, that there might be sort of a graduation from one level to another,
and the top level might graduate onto another place.
["Yes."]
What kind of experience would that being feel ... I mean, what would happen during that
time?
SHEARIAM: The experience is highly unique to the individual. It would be as difficult for me to describe
that event for anyone other than myself as it would be for me to describe your death.
TONY: How frequent is that occurrence?
SHEARIAM: It is happening constantly, moment by moment.
KRISTINE: Have people in this room experienced that before?
SHEARIAM: Of course. That is how you have gotten to where you are now.
PEGGY: Will you explain what you mean by "quantify?"
SHEARIAM: As given before, "quality" cannot be changed. Human beings do not become trees, trees
do not become minerals, but through consciousness one actualizes the potential of the quality
represented, and to the degree that that actualization reaches its greatest potential, the quality becomes
quantified. As each person learns to live in a higher level of consciousness, so does the whole race of man
live in a higher consciousness. And on down through all of the realms.
["Thank you."]
DAVID: Is a thought conscious of itself?
SHEARIAM: To some degree.
DAVID: Does it evolve then from that, or just go on where it's at?
SHEARIAM: As given before, thoughts have lives and are creative. But they also become diffused by
what you call time and space. Some thoughts have sufficient power to live for centuries. Some thoughts
die in milliseconds upon being born.
KRISTINE: Can you elaborate on that, why some thoughts have a short life and others do not? Does it have to
do with the emotion behind it? I don't understand.
SHEARIAM: It has to do with power and power of thought depends upon the condition of all the bodies
of the thinker. It is not just the emotional voltage, but is indeed dependent upon the amperage of the
energy flowing through the chakras at the time a thought is born. If there is a certain power in the thought,
the matrix of the universe is impressed, and a record is made and some people refer to these records as
being "the Akashic Records." Such thoughts might be said to live forever. Some thoughts do not make as
permanent an impression, but may indeed survive for centuries. These thought forms can appear as
ghosts in your awareness. That is not the sole explanation for such phenomenon.
KRISTINE: Would visualization at the time of the thought affect the thought?
SHEARIAM: Of course; that has to do with the brow chakra.
VOICE: What is the difference between the fantasy and the thought?
SHEARIAM: Not much.
VOICE: Then, they both have the same strength?
SHEARIAM: Dependent upon the flow of energy at the time.
KRISTINE: If it's appropriate, could you elaborate on the chakras and how thought -- what you have just
previously discussed -- if that's appropriate.
SHEARIAM: May we table chakras to one entire evening's discussion? Let us continue with the subject
of consciousness first.
DAVID: What happens to a thought that doesn't make it? When it diffuses, what does it do?
SHEARIAM: Like an existence, its components are recycled. Nothing is ever lost, but it may not retain
the original form.
KRISTINE: Are thought forms composed of atoms like other tangible things?
SHEARIAM; Yes, but your concept of atoms is seriously defective.
["Thank you."]
PEGGY: Is it correct to say that will follows imagination?
SHEARIAM: Will precedes imagination. Will precedes all except "I AM."
KRISTINE: I don't understand that concept.
SHEARIAM: Going back to "existence." The very first existent thing is "I AM-ness," being. Then being
is imbued with will. Then being through its will produces universes.
["Thank you."]
So it is in the human condition. First you are. Then you will. Then you create.
DAVID: When we perceive light, that which we are perceiving ... does that contain consciousness?
SHEARIAM: Consciousness is not contained. Consciousness exists throughout everything that you
can perceive, even your "perceiver."
TONY: Is that part of the process of perceiving, recognizing the consciousness?
SHEARIAM: We have some misconceptions. I will try again ...
At original creation, initial cause ... it is very difficult to describe because your
language does not have appropriate words, but at the earliest emanation of The Absolute is born the
minutest particle of which your universe, your lives, everything that exists, is comprised. In these units
exists two opposing forces, twin minds, perceiving mind and creative mind, three attributes which, for
want of better words I must call life, quality and quantity. And the last two components are volition and
consciousness.
All these are present everywhere, in everything. The mystical union, the substance
which carries these components, is motion, but you would not understand motion as I am using that word.
Let us then say that the carrier for the components is God-stuff, a mysterious non-substance. All of
existence is radiation, or radiated energy. I cannot find words better than those in your language. But
what you must understand is that in all things those nine components are present. Their presence,
however, are not in equal units, one to the other. Consequently some things will have only a dim
consciousness, very little volition, and all will have quality of some quantity, all will be enlivened, all have
mind, and all have force. Does that help you any?
["Yeah."]
TONY: Well, as a matter of fact, I don't see that that gave me a differentiation between understanding why
the difference in consciousness of different things would not be part of the perception process, as well as possibly
some of these other factors you just mentioned.
DAVID: That's perception with the five senses, right?
TONY: No.
DAVID: No?
TONY: No, not necessarily. Not limited to that.
DAVID: No, but that's what you are talking about mainly.
PEGGY: Perception is limited to what we can perceive ourselves. We can't possibly understand
what something else can perceive.
TONY: I wasn't referring to what something else could perceive.
PEGGY: Just yourself.
TONY: My perception is that ... I'm postulating that my perception would be a combination of my
consciousness and some of these other factors, and how that relates to those other consciousnesses and those
other factors.
DAVID: You perceive consciousness with your own consciousness. There's nothing by consciousness to
perceive, so you have to have perceived the consciousness in whatever form it is. [Two taking at once; couldn't
distinguish what was said.]
TONY: Making sense at all?
SHEARIAM: Perhaps you have overlooked that I gave twin minds. Of the nine components, two are
mind, one perceiving and one creative. Consequently, all things not only have consciousness but also
have perception and creativity. This is manifest in the mineral world as the ability of molecules to change
the nature of their substance by exchange. Do you understand?
[Not much confirmation.]
You do understand that a formula for a substance changes to the formula of
another substance by acquisition of molecules, or loss of molecules.
[Voices. "Or energy."]
This requires consciousness, volition, perception, creation, twin forces, life, quality
and quantity ... the nine components present in all things. A molecule must recognize what it needs to do
in order to become a part of another substance. It must be able to perceive the other substance
components with which it must join. It must exercise volition to move. Science looks at these exchanges
of molecules as results of energy exchange, electromagnetic forces, etc. I am saying to you that these
things could not occur if those nine components were not present and operative. Does that help you?
KRISTINE: Is that why a plant needing light grows towards the light ... those kind of factors you describe?
SHEARIAM: It perceives its own needs and perceives the source of satisfaction. You are correct.
KRISTINE: Does this concept of the twin minds, the creative and perceptive minds, have anything to do with
the right brain-left brain theories currently in effect?
SHEARIAM: Somewhat.
KRISTINE: In a limited sort of way.
SHEARIAM: It is somewhat at the root of the phenomenon.
["Thank you."]
BETTY: In the reading I was doing today they said the consciousness of man could regress or backslide.
There was even indication that it could go below the human level again. Is this correct?
SHEARIAM: No. It would not slide back to a lesser quality -- only reduce its quantity. Once having
gained the consciousness of a higher level of being, it would not be able to regress to a lower level of
being.
BETTY: Just go as low as possible on the scale of humanness.
SHEARIAM: Yes. Which, of course, could manifest as bestiality.
VOICE: Which means that man can only go back to man. They could not have come from an animal
source.
SHEARIAM: That is correct. The pattern for human quality was established at the same time as the
pattern for animal quality, etc.
DAVID: Back when Earth began, or whatever, were the things here at that time three-dimensional, or were
they more ghostly and became three-dimensional as time went on, as we understand time?
SHEARIAM: You are presuming that something was three dimensional and something else was not.
Reconsider your question.
DAVID: I don't understand.
SHEARIAM: You said to me, was this planet three dimensional or otherwise when man arrived.
DAVID: No. When man came here to this planet, was man three-dimensional?
KRISTINE: Oh, or in spirit form?
DAVID: Right. I was reading a book on that one time, and someone had gone back in regression to a time
when they were living here but they weren't functioning three-dimensionally, they were functioning in a spirit plane,
but it was here, and not in the astral planes.
SHEARIAM: You are getting again into another discussion which you cannot understand until we settle
the question of consciousness.
DAVID: Can that question ever be settled?
SHEARIAM: I can give you some information, but you must settle these things in your own mind,
through your own qualities of being. This is why we do not give you information "a,b,c." You must
apply your own creative mind, your own perceptive mind. You must exercise your own consciousness.
We cannot spoon feed you.
DAVID: How do you exercise consciousness?
SHEARIAM: How did you exercise consciousness to phrase that question?
DAVID: I don't know.
[Much laughter.]
SHEARIAM: Consciousness flows within everything. How can I bring that statement to make you
understand it?
["I don't know."] I cannot. It only becomes a truth for you when you take into the silence and
solitude of your own consideration. This is the meaning, the very thrust, of human consciousness ... that
you have the capacity to develop an idea. What did I give you when we began talking about
consciousness? What did I say about consciousness?
["I don't remember."] TONY: You gave us quite a bit. I'm not sure what you're reaching for.
DAVID: You mean the definition?
SHEARIAM: Yes. Not definition.
DOROTHY: The meaning of consciousness is knowing that we exist.
SHEARIAM: But beyond that. Consciousness is choice, it's thinking, it's emotion, it's imagination. It's
apprehension, it's remembering. Most of all, in the human condition, it is represented by your capacity to
recognize an idea and enlarge upon it.
DAVID: Does that come with understanding then? Understand different concepts?
SHEARIAM: Yes. A conversation in this room a short time ago about perception. Each speaker was
speaking from his own point of view. I cannot establish your point of view. I cannot create your
understanding. Only you as a self-conscious thinker can do that. It is in the doing of this that you bring
your consciousness level higher so that you can then begin to participate in the realms in which I live. As I
said when we began our talk this evening, you are the same on the other side of the corridor of transition
as you are when you enter on this side. Whatever level of consciousness you develop in this lifetime
carries forward. There are different areas of experience in which consciousness can again be expanded or
raised through understanding the experience. Again, this is why we come to teach as we do, that you as
humans will come to certain understandings through the experience of being human in the Earth
condition.
BETTY: It is an advantage to be here on Earth ... to raise the consciousness?
SHEARIAM: Indeed it is.
BETTY: Is it done more easily here than in other realms?
SHEARIAM: Certain consciousnesses, certain portions of consciousness, yes.
BETTY: Is that why some people incarnate more than others? They need more work on it?
SHEARIAM: Sometimes by choice one will come back into this realm of experience to round out
something felt to be deficient.
BETTY: So some things are done better or more easily here on this plane than they are elsewhere?
SHEARIAM: It is not that it is done more easily but that each condition offers unique opportunity. You
could not elsewhere, as you call it, develop the same consciousness expansion, for the circumstances are
not the same, the provisions are not the same.
BETTY: What part ... oh, dear, I don't even know how to ask the question. Could you give us an example of
what part or kind of consciousness we develop here on Earth plane that we could not on another realm, or in the
next realm?
SHEARIAM:You truly begin to exercise creative mind in this Earthly condition. In the universe in which
you exist the creative faculty is essential to the transcendence of the universe. It is creativity which has
been abused in this condition, and thus it is that creative mind finds itself at such a disadvantage in this
condition which you call Earth.
TONY: What kinds of abuse do you mean that we have created?
SHEARIAM: You have used your creative minds to develop self-destruction.
VOICE: Creative being the ability to ... well ... would you review creativity briefly for us again?
SHEARIAM:Creative mind builds upon information supplied by perceiving mind as consciousness
develops awareness. As consciousness develops awareness, an idea is captured. All ideas exist in some
form or some condition somewhere ... which does not give you much of an explanation, I know, but you are
subject to time and space terminology. But all ideas which can ever be, already are. Thus consciousness
as it develops awareness grasps one of these ideas, or a portion, and enlarges upon it -- thus exercising
creativity.
KRISTINE: Are you saying ... maybe I didn't understand ... that there's no such thing as new ideas, only ...
SHEARIAM: Re-worked ideas.
KRISTINE: So even ideas that are new to us are always there.
SHEARIAM: Have always been, since the beginning of your universe.
KRISTINE: Even so-called abstract ideas.
["Yes."]
Even like artistic trends like cubism and other new kinds of ideas, the concept has always
been there?
["Yes."] Oh, my.
VOICE: So what are we doing here?
SHEARIAM:You are creatively enlarging upon the ideas, which in turn feeds that which gave you birth.
KRISTINE: So, then, we are simply in a cycle of perception, awareness, creativity, in just kind of ...
SHEARIAM: In ever-expanding circles.
KRISTINE: And so we just go step by step in whatever we can comprehend, and thus what we know of as
growth.
["That is correct."] And that's whether on an emotional level, a scientific level, abstract
understanding, it's all the same thing.
["Yes."]
DAVID: So, outside of this universe or this level that we live in, are there still new ideas that are coming that
haven't yet come?
[General laughter and comment.]
Everything that we've got isn't just ... and we just run 'til we get to the end.
[Some comments.]
SHEARIAM: There are many worlds of being between you and the ultimate. There are ideas in cosmos
which will not find manifestation in this universe, but will be manifest in other universes. But the universe
of which you are a part is so vast you could not conceive with your finite minds anyway.
KRISTINE: These ideas which come to us that are not new but are new to us, do our guides help us absorb
these ideas?
SHEARIAM: They help attract them to you, yes.
KRISTINE: You say attract them to us. How do they attract that? How does this happen? And when we say
an idea just came out of the blue, I realize it is a crazy term, it isn't really out of the blue, is it?
SHEARIAM: No. The idea is in consciousness, and you open your consciousness, you set the stage, so
to speak, and the idea is drawn into the drama.
VOICE: You say the idea existed even before the universe was created. Is there a possibility that the idea
might have been before the universe was created?
SHEARIAM: In The Absolute, yes, or in the cosmos before universe.
PEGGY: That's beyond our scope of understanding.
["Yes."]
KRISTINE: Can you elaborate ... I'm still very caught up on this idea of this awareness, perception and
creativity. Can you elaborate on what appears to be talents that people have? How some people seem to grasp
and learn them very quickly as Mozart did, playing the piano so early an age. How does reincarnation enter into this
awareness and those ideas?
SHEARIAM: That is part of the quantifying process. You cannot actualize all of the potential that you are
in some short span of seventy Earth years. That is simply for instance the genius of manifestation of a
highly quantified quality. You will recall some of our discussions on Christ Consciousness. While it is not
called Christ Consciousness throughout your planet, the idea is the same, and this is the quantification of
consciousness to which you strive in this Earth condition, and indeed in other realms such as the one in
which I dwell.
PEGGY: Then in order to recognize which way we can develop the best for ourselves, we must
learn how to communicate with our Christ Consciousness.
SHEARIAM: You have to work towards the Christ Consciousness. You have consciousness. It is the
same consciousness.
TONY: Just developing the quantity to that level.
SHEARIAM: That's correct.
VOICE: How do you develop from your lower consciousness to a higher consciousness for your
development in the hereafter? How do you go about that?
SHEARIAM:By working on ideas, by developing your creative capacity, by actualizing all of your
potential, by utilizing all of your mind, not just a poor ten percent.
["We're trying. Not sure we're succeeding."]
Everyone in this room is trying or would not be present. Were it not for that fact, we
would not use our energies in this way.
DAVID: Now as we grasp what you are saying, we are evolving then.
SHEARIAM: You are quantifying your quality so that you will be equipped to live in realms beyond the
Earth condition. If you leave this life with sufficient understanding, it is not necessary that you come back
to planet Earth.
KRISTINE: If we go on to other lives and/or other levels of existence, if we carry the knowledge that we have
gained in all of our past lives ...
SHEARIAM: Yes, even as you do now.
KRISTINE: Right, and so that is maybe why some people grasp certain understandings easier.
["That's true."] An ordinary child, some children seem to perceive things at a much quicker level
than others in certain areas.
BETTY: Generally, in order to develop ourselves to a higher level, do we need to incarnate a number of
times?
SHEARIAM:Not necessarily. It depends on where you are in a given cycle at the time planet Earth is
chosen for an experience.
TONY: In other words, you can develop in other realms and then come here for short experiences.
SHEARIAM: In your universe there are more who never come near your planet, than there are those who
do.
["That raises some questions."]
BETTY: All right then, what are the advantages to coming to this planet? Why aren't we someplace else?
SHEARIAM: You came to experience this experience. [Laughter.]
KRISTINE: Those of us, say in this room, who are attracted to healing, who are attracted to the arts, we have
probably done this before, and we have absorbed these concepts before and used them, and now to us it's like re-
discovering because of our limitations of consciousness, but in fact we really have done many of these things
before.
SHEARIAM:Much of your learning is merely a remembering process.
KRISTINE: Why do we not remember sooner?
SHEARIAM: You could, except that man over his many, many years of existence has misused his
creative capacity, and thus has reduced the quantity of his quality.
KRISTINE: Is that changing now?
SHEARIAM: Hopefully.
[Laughter.]
DOROTHY: In one of your earlier lectures to us you mentioned the importance of developing our ... as we
developed our consciousness, we should develop our concept of God, and that we should think of that as a source
of good, or the ultimate source. And I have been practicing developing, or allowing my conception, my perception of
God, to change from the God that I knew a long time ago, to now the God I am experiencing, that God is the ideas
that come to me, and that God is the consciousness in idea form. Would you enlarge upon what you said that the
ultimate conception should be to us?
SHEARIAM: We must return to the nine components given earlier. God is all these things. God is your
consciousness. God is your volition. God is your life. God is your quality. God is your quantity. God is
your twin minds. God is the two opposing forces. God is all of these things and more, but it is only
through these nine things that you experience your universe.
Human mentality tends to limit God by putting God into man's image. You live with
the concept of a miniature God. Through expansion of consciousness you become aware of the vastness,
the beauty, the magnitude, the magnificence, and you are an individuated portion of that magnificence.
And the nine components are present in every minutest particle of you, of your Earth, of your solar system,
of your galaxy, of your entire universe. You must expand your concepts. How can you quantify your
quality when you limit the creator of that very life?
CORBIN: I would like to go back to healing and the use of thought. I'm interested in an article that was told to
me about being able to transmit thought by ... healing thoughts, to another individual. Actually, when you do not
have contact from them to get their permission, you can use our means of telephone confirmation by thought to get
their permission. Is that permissible?
SHEARIAM: Yes, it is permissible. However, even in the subtle realms of thought, you must not invade
another's privacy.
CORBIN: I understand that. But it is possible to give them healing thoughts through this means?
SHEARIAM: What you must do is answer the telephone on your end. If that person, the afflicted person,
is sending out thoughts of "help me," then you can be the receiver and return the help. But you do not
have the right to go to an afflicted person and say, "You need my help." You, of course, can do that, but
you are setting up some pretty severe penalties.
CORBIN: You mean you cannot initiate something with the help of another member of your family, for
instance.
SHEARIAM: Only if the signal for help had been sent forth.
CORBIN: How would you know that?
SHEARIAM: By the same telepathic means of which you spoke.
DOROTHY: Now the last few meditations we have had, we have closed with mentioning the names of our loved
ones, bringing them into the room, and then we bless them, and then we release them. Now what's the difference
between that kind of a healing and what you are saying where we need their permission?
SHEARIAM: You only invite them by calling their names. It is up to them if they wish to come. And
sometimes they do not.
BETTY: Would we become aware of health problems at the subtle level if the call had not gone out?
SHEARIAM: You could. Your own clairvoyant capacity can certainly determine a deficiency in another
body even as you can see that a light does not fill all the corners of the room.
BETTY: Would there ever be permission given at the subconscious level when it is not given at the physical
level?
SHEARIAM: Yes, that does happen.
BETTY: How can we be sure we are reading the signals right and not interfering where we have no right to
interfere?
SHEARIAM: This comes with development of consciousness. The capacity to know when to go and
when to stay is part of your developing awareness. There are times when you say, "I don't care what the
penalties are," and you go ahead. That is part of choice, which is part of consciousness. You have that
right.
VOICE: But it is still an invasion.
SHEARIAM: Yes. Remember, all disability, whether in the physical organism, the emotional body, the
mental body, or the purse, is created by the individual himself.
CORBIN: When you project the healing light and visually see the receptivity of the individual you are trying to
help, and that individual does allow you to penetrate their aura, are you receiving permission from them?
SHEARIAM: If they open to you, it's like they're opening their door and inviting you into their living
room.
CORBIN: And if you perceive that in your mind and they have received and allowed you to enter their aura,
then you have their permission, is that correct?
SHEARIAM: As you would if they opened their front door.
DOROTHY: If some people have drawn elements to them to attract more attention, then would it not be correct
in thinking that they want your attention?
SHEARIAM: This is where your discretionary powers must come into play. And also you must
remember to be empathetic and not sympathetic. This is part of the danger in running to help.
KRISTINE: Now there are several in this room that are healers doing massage, and if a person comes to us,
may we assume even though they don't say, "I want you to heal me," that many people are much more subtle about
it, but they nevertheless have come to us. May we assume that it is an appropriate time for healing?
SHEARIAM: Of course. Any patient going to a doctor asks for any help that doctor may render.
KRISTINE: Then I think in a prior session you said that we as parents also have a responsibility to accept the
healing or make the decision for our children.
["That is correct."]
CORBIN: How long does that apply -- helping your children?
SHEARIAM: We cannot give a stipulated year of age; it depends on the unique individual.
TONY: Does it have anything to do with when you leave home?
SHEARIAM: When an entity moves out of the nest and establishes his own independence, then it is the
parents' obligation to allow that entity to do so. You are developing consciousness even as we discuss
personal matters. We, in our realm, have the same considerations. Only the penalties are more severe
because we have more freedom, because we have more creative power, because the substance of our
realm is manipulated more directly by our thoughts.
TONY: That applies, then, that it is wise to learn the responsibility of those actions and those thoughts here
before getting here?
["Exactly."]
CORBIN: If a person has no ulterior motive in helping someone other than being that the individual does
need help, do we assume the responsibility for anything that happens?
SHEARIAM: Yes. Motive is not an excuse to escape penalties. Do-gooders do a great deal of harm.
KRISTINE: If we do, then, come across people that we meet in our life's path whose attitudes have affected
their health, at least on the physical level, that is even apparent to many people, is there anything we can, since in
that situation unless they ask for help, is there anything we can do for these people .. is there anything?
SHEARIAM: You can witness by example, you can profess your beliefs, you are certainly free to express
your opinion. You do not have to say to the individual, "You must think my way," but you have the
freedom to express the way that you think. Then, that individual has the opportunity through his
perceiving mind to take what you have given. It's like providing the water for the horse, you cannot make
him drink. If a person hungers and thirsts for wellness, wholeness, perfection, he will take whatever is
given.
KRISTINE: This may not be the most appropriate time, but why is it that some people do not like to be touched
by others, even healers? Why is it that touch repels them?
SHEARIAM: There are many reasons for this. Some of it is occasioned by immature emotional body.
Some of it is occasioned by the solar plexus chakra being disorganized and thus there is fear present.
Some of it might be sponsored by reincarnational memory. There are many, many reasons.
PEGGY: I find it difficult to understand how everything can be now and still have all these
reincarnational lives. Are they going on in other spheres right now? Without the time sequence?
SHEARIAM: Because you are captive in a time-space continuum, you do not have words to understand
the concept of now. It is not appropriate to use these energies to discuss that abstract. As you develop
your consciousness, you will develop your own understanding of those abstractions.
BETTY: Is it generally helpful to delve into these past lives to understand what is happening now?
SHEARIAM: Very often it is helpful.
BETTY: How is the best way for us to go about this?
SHEARIAM: There are a multitude of ways in which this can be accomplished.
BETTY: Can you give some ideas?
SHEARIAM: There is one current practice used in your condition at this time which you call hypnotic
regression. There are also those who are clairvoyant and can give what is called "life readings." There is
also the capacity of reverie in which past life experience is shown in its relationship with current life
experience.
VOICE: Is that where books come from?
SHEARIAM: Reverie? Not always.
VOICE: Is that where the novels and fiction all come from, from reverie of past lives' experiences or tuning
in on somebody else's?
SHEARIAM: Not necessarily. It is the activity of the creative mind which enlarges upon an idea, putting
a number of varying components together. Fiction does not always reflect reality.
KRISTINE: Sheariam, tonight you discussed enhancing, building upon our creative mind, and perception and
awareness of consciousness. Are there any of the vast multitude of ways of using our creativity and perception, are
there any priorities with humankind at this point in time of areas to develop, are there any particular directions that
are most important to develop over other areas?
SHEARIAM: I would not wish to establish priorities. This is part of the responsibility of the individual
according to his awareness.
TONY: We were discussing past lives a moment ago. There are incidents where people can remember the future
as well as the past. Would there be any benefit in being more aware of that?
SHEARIAM: Most certainly. By remembering the future as well as the past, you enhance the now.
PEGGY: Can we change the future.
SHEARIAM: And the past. We are getting into that expression, that abstraction which was raised
previously. We would rather stick with consciousness a while longer in our discussions.
BETTY: One other question on a past life. As things are recalled from past lives, incidents or such, is it enough just
to recall them, be aware of them, to deal with them and put them out of the way, or do we need to work with them in
some way.
SHERIAM: They must be integrated into the consciousness of this life, into the awareness of this life.
TONY: I have an off-the-wall question. Why do you commonly refer to yourself in the first person plural, as “we”?
SHEARIAM: Sometimes it is “I” , Sheariam, and sometimes it is “we”, faculty of the temple.
TONY: So your information is coming from a plurality of Source.
SHEARIAM: Yes.
BETTY: Is the faculty here with you most often when you are channeling for us, working for us?
SHEARIAM: That portion which is involved in your education, yes.
KRISTINE: Will other teachers come through, not tonight, but in the future.
SHEARIAM: Possibly… I feel it is time to draw this to a close, so let us have a closing meditation.
(Meditation not taped.)
