Tuesday Session #7 – February 1, 1983
Gloria’s Circle
(No record of those present other than Gloria Ruth with Silverthistle.)
(Earlier portion of circle not recorded)
STUDENT: It seems to my way of thinking, as much as I can understand it, that people who
have these great inspirations -- are they developed or are they inspired by some power or spirit
from the ether world?
SILVERTHISTLE: There are different things happening at different times with different
individuals. Now in some instances there will be that life, that ego which has accumulated
sufficient knowledge that when incarnate in any given physical life span on this planet, may use
that aggregation to uplift the consciousness of those on this planet. Those attributes may appear
very early in the chronological life span. To those incarnate during that life span, that individual
may be a PRODIGY. To others in the overall picture of ego span, he is only doing that which he
has grown into. However, there are those inspirational moments which come to some who have
developed a receptivity. This is something that is available to all at any time, given their
consciousness level and orientation.If a person is seeking INSPIRATION, inspiration shall come.
STUDENT: I have experienced this. Thank you.
SILVERTHISTLE: And what else would you have us discuss this evening?
STUDENT: If no one else has a question, I would like to continue on with the relationship
between the individual and the soul body. I'm not sure what you meant.
SILVERTHISTLE:These lessons have not been given to this group as yet, but I will give you a
certain amount of information. You are not a SOUL; you do not have a soul. You are part of a
greater whole; a soul has you. Now, you believe that you have a soul because you recognize that
portion within yourself that is not material, and in fact goes beyond spiritual. But indeed it is only
a portion and thus not a lasting eternal thing as it is individualized in your EGOs. The soul exists
and gives birth to the ego. The ego produces a series of life spans. The ego also participates in and
lives in other realities. Thus you are accumulating experience in a number of different
consciousnesses, but as you sit there in this room, you are aware of only that consciousness
pertaining to this physical earth existence. Thus in your DREAMS and MEDITATIONS you can
make contact with the OTHER REALITIES in which your ego is participating. That which you
consider "ego" is less than the ego of which I speak.
STUDENT: Your description of soul makes me think it might be a very minute description
of what I like to think God is.
SILVERTHISTLE:That is precisely the point. Out of ALL THAT IS flows the RIVER OF
EXISTENCE, the RIVER OF LIFE of which this planet and its inhabitants are a minute globe.
There are SPHERES OF EXISTENCE beginning before FIRST CAUSE and descending therefrom
and returning thereto, each having the capacity to diversify itself in mirror form, but producing only
that which is like itself. But as it diversifies itself, each successive DIVERSIFICATION contains a
little less of the original thing, and the emphasis is placed slightly differently. When you are given
the lesson that Judith brings or you read the material from the other group, this will become more
clear to you.
STUDENT: You mentioned the dreams and meditations -- could you elaborate a little bit
about dreams?
SILVERTHISTLE: In what manner?
STUDENT: In the relation of what our dreams are in this reality.
SILVERTHISTLE: Your DREAMS are of many things, many meanings. Some of your dreams
result from your SUBTLE BODIES participating in this planet’s activities without the physical
body, as you call ASTRAL PROJECTION or OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE. Another type of
dream is that of the problem solving dream, when portions of your mind which are not turned to the
physical, deal with the physical stress and strain in order to give you the solution. You know that if
you examine some of your dreams, they simply will be a recounting of that day's activities.
Another function of dreaming is to alleviate the stresses within the physical body in
order to allow the disassociation of the SUBTLE BODIES so that REJUVENATION can take place
during the sleeping time. Another dream which you may experience is actually a remembrance of
an awareness of function of a portion of your ego in another reality. Thus in dreams you at times
visit the OTHER REALITIES of which this life span is one in a group of many, all being
experienced simultaneously by the EGO. Do you have a specific question?
STUDENT: No, you answered the question for me. Thank you very much. On the subject
of dreams, someone told me once that because I don't dream, that I have a serious illness, and I
don't feel very sick. What do you think about that?
SILVERTHISTLE: That was as totally false a piece of information as I have ever been given the
privilege to hear.
STUDENT: Well, I'm glad to know that, because she thought she was an authority. And
when I said I don't dream, she said I had a serious illness.
SILVERTHISTLE: First of all, you do dream. You simply do not have the need to remember
your dream experiences. Your dreams serve the purpose at the time they are in your consciousness,
and thus you do not need them in your waking awareness, so you do not recall them upon waking.
STUDENT: People regress, so to speak, to learn more of their previous lives. Would you
like to make some comment about that and how it would relate to us?
SILVERTHISTLE: Again. REGRESSION is an erroneous idea. But since you are in the
consciousness that experiences life in your time, you can only conceive that you have knowledge of
past lives. As a matter of fact, you have all of your lives going on concurrently. But there is value
in this process which has now come into fashion among you. You certainly can have your
consciousness expanded to where memory crosses the barrier in consciousness as they do in dream
states.
You do live in the now. You cannot live in the past. You cannot live in the future.
The past exists as you remember it. As you remember it differently the past changes. Therefore,
you can change what you think is past experience. And as you change the past, so you change the
future. But you can only live in the now.
STUDENT: Would I be out of line if I asked you why and how do we meditate?
SILVERTHISTLE: You MEDITATE because you need to reach that which is within you that is
higher than what you know in your waking state. Again, the directional up-down, higher-lower –
are words of erroneous thinking. Meditation is an act designed to bring you closer to the
understanding of UNIVERSAL TRUTH, thus giving meaning to your existence, to make you
understand that you are not an accident. You are here by DIVINE PLAN, and thus you are
important to the overall picture as (is) any piece in a jigsaw puzzle.
As to the how, you have been given instructions before, but they do bear repeating.
You must take 5 to 15 minutes a day to withdraw your attention from that which is external to you.
This takes self discipline and concentration. The goal at this time for those of you in this group is
to contact that awareness of "I AM". Most people live in the consciousness of "I am hungry, I am
sleepy, I am a teacher, I am something or other", when what you must come to know is "I AM".
STUDENT: Thank you. Should we take the phone off the hook, close the shades or blinds
to be more subdued lighting and shut off everything?
SILVERTHISTLE: For those of you who find it difficult to remove your attention from that
which is external, those kind of procedures are mandatory until you reach the point that you are so
self disciplined that you can sit quietly anywhere and become unaware as to whether the light is on
or the sun is shining or there is an ant crawling up your leg.
STUDENT: Thank you. Some place in this lesson there must be something on how to
meditate.
ANOTHER STUDENT: Yes. This has been discussed in previous lessons. What do you have for
us tonight?
SILVERTHISTLE: I had hoped that Judith would be ready to come to you, but at this time she
still feels that your group is not sufficiently stable. She does not wish to begin her lessons until she
is assured that the group is ready for them. Meanwhile I am on the spot.
STUDENT: What do you mean "on the spot"?
SILVERTHISTLE: Inasmuch as I had expected Judith to be here this evening, I had decided not
to prepare anything for you, therefore, I am at your service but wordless.
STUDENT: Explain to us about our not being stabilized -- what is it the group should be
doing?
SILVERTHISTLE: Apparently she does not feel sure that all of you will be here every time, or
that you have studied the material given so far. There seems to be some doubt as to the orientation
of some of you.
STUDENT: Well, that's what I thought. If we do get together early, we should review all of
our lessons. Margaret Fishburn will probably come back, as Gloria said she would drive her home,
and one more girl to join. Need to read all the lessons. We need to buckle down and study.
I'll ask a question. Most of us grew up with the Bible and Bible stories. I wonder if
you would comment on the accuracy of the Bible and particularly on the New Testament.
SILVERTHISTLE: (BIBLE) You will find in my lessons I use scriptures a great deal.
Inasmuch as a certain translation has been around the longest, that is the one from which I quote.
Much of the interpretation of your scriptures that I will give you will come as a result of going back
to the original language in which it was written in order to point out to you the fallacy of the
translations and the misinterpretation as disseminated throughout your country and other Christian
countries in this world. But in truth and fact, that book of scripture gives you the deepest occult
secrets of which you have the capacity to deal.
STUDENT: Silverthistle, if you were teaching a group of say orientals with their Buddhist
background and their understanding of living and life, while they have a different set of letters and
words, but isn't the background and meaning about the same. Isn't there one God?
SILVERTHISTLE: All RELIGIONS stem from a single source. We do teach the Buddhist and
the Confucian and the Taoist and on and on throughout the world. We speak in their language and
we use their symbology, but the message is ever and always the same.
STUDENT: Thank you, I like that.
SILVERTHISTLE: Let us then talk about some of your daily problems. Perhaps we can cast
some esoteric light upon them. STUDENT: On the 10th -- what is the gentleman's name?
You know, LaMar. I'm going to that man, Gary, to take care of my hernia -- that's the biggest
problem.
LAMAR: You are going to a Philippine healer. Do you want to ask if he can help your
hernia?
SILVERTHISTLE: Gary is a fine HEALER. He is one of the minor healers in the Philippines.
He does not actually do the psychic surgery as Tony Apower did, but he does have the POWER
CHANNEL open. The problem is that patients are not always ready to be healed even though they
think they are. Many of us have these problems too deeply buried -- psychological needs -- and so
they make us miserable. We cannot let go of them. We are often just as fearful of what we will
have in place of them.
STUDENT: Is it correct that we create our body's physical condition through our mental
attitudes and emotions?
SILVERTHISTLE:Precisely the point.As you are within, so you are without.You are a
mathematical FORMULA. Your BODY is the outward expression of that formula. Your universe
is based upon mathematical formulae. The formula is expressed in many ways. One that may be
familiar to you is the Hebrew alphabet of the 22 conditions of consciousness.
STUDENT: Could you explain that just a bit?
SILVERTHISTLE: That is the KABALA upon which Judaism is based and out of which grew
your Christian ethics.
STUDENT: Is that Kabala in the Old Testament?
SILVERTHISTLE: Yes indeed.
STUDENT: Where in the Old Testament, or what areas?
SILVERTHISTLE: The entire OLD TESTAMENT. The KABALA is a compilation of a
number of books out of which grew your Old Testament.
STUDENT: The spiritual inspiration -- would that be it?
SILVERTHISTLE: The inspirational interpretation.
STUDENT: Did the ancient Egyptians of this sphere we are on now, the Egyptians back
many, many centuries ago -- did part of the instructions to the Jewish people come from some of
their learnings?
SILVERTHISTLE: Most certainly so, but you must understand that the Egyptians got their
information or knowledge from others. They did not originate it.
STUDENT: No, I realize that -- something that keeps going on and on, doesn't it?
SILVERTHISTLE: We keep passing it around and around. There is a saying, "What goes
around, comes around".
STUDENT: Pertaining to this same thing, did other civilizations, did they have this basic
same type of teaching?
SILVERTHISTLE: Yes. You will find, for instance, in the HUNA that there are roots of that in
Egypt and records of it throughout all the languages of the world.
STUDENT: I had read the books referred to as the SETH books by Jane Roberts, and it
seems in many ways to dove-tail very nicely with what you are teaching us. Are those books
essentially correct?
SILVERTHISTLE: Of course they have the truth. But you must realize that no one person had
all the truth. We can only express that facet of the truth which is expressible through the formula
that we are. It's the same situation as the three eye witnesses to an accident -- each one will have a
different story all of which will have the truth within it.
STUDENT: Thank you. With that understanding then I can say that I'm doing all right
because I refuse to contribute to missionaries. It's my belief they will develop where they are for
what they are.
SILVERTHISTLE: The CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES have done more to destroy the TRUTH
than any other movement in this Earth.
STUDENT: I thought the missionaries actually just tried to bring people around to a more
modern way of living -- more than teaching.
SILVERTHISTLE: Throughout the entire planet the Christian missionaries have repressed the
early knowledge of native tribes that was nearer the truth than the missionaries ever could be. They
destroyed tribal customs. They introduced deadly diseases. They introduced all manner of
destructive things.
STUDENT: That's my feeling. The book, "Hawaii", what they did in the name of Christ --
what a lie.
SILVERTHISTLE: CHRISTIANITY is one of the bloodiest religions this planet has ever
known.
STUDENT: What will happen in time to this Christian teaching? Do you think there will be
a change in the teaching format of Christianity?
SILVERTHISTLE: Christianity itself will ultimately cease to be, as will all other RELIGIONS.
In time to come there will be only one religion on this planet.
STUDENT: And what would that be -- what would it be called?
SILVERTHISTLE: At this time I cannot give you a label, but it will be an acknowledgement of
truth.
STUDENT: Why does it take so long to get to this point that we are refused -- the ignorance
and the stupidity of whole nations when we are trying to get to the truth? Why does it take so long?
SILVERTHISTLE: It is all in the DIVINE PLAN, but EVOLUTION will pursue at its own rate
of speed. You speak of TIME, and you think in terms of hours, days, months, years, and that only
exists in your perception in this reality. There is time in all REALITIES within this universe, but
the perception varies according to the conditions in those realities. Thus, your friend Seth talks
about probabilities. I recommend that you study that.
STUDENT: Thank you. Economic conditions affect us as well as physical and mental. Is it
within your desire to talk about the economic conditions in the next 4, 6, 10 years -- something like
that?
SILVERTHISTLE: Again, economic conditions are something produced by the consciousness.
Your own economic conditions proceed from within yourself. It is subject to the economic
conditions in the GROUP SOUL. And when the awareness in the group soul changes, your
economic condition changes. You will recall the terrible depression this planet suffered in the
1930's, and that was a change in consciousness from the individual to the masses. And the political
structures which dealt in mass energy received a rejuvenating energy at that time. You see that in
the United States, in your massive welfare programs and the systems that are supported by
community funds, the growth of your government influence into the life of the individual is a result
of the change in group consciousness that occurred at that time. In 1932 your astronomers became
aware of the planet PLUTO. Pluto was there long before that, but the consciousness of the group
was not ready for that influence until that time.
STUDENT: Interesting. Will there be major changes in the near future?
SILVERTHISTLE: In the next fifteen years you will see greater changes in the group
consciousness than you have seen in the last forty-five or the hundred years that preceded that.
STUDENT: Which direction will they go?
SILVERTHISTLE: This planet is moving toward what some ASTROLOGERS call
PLANETARIZATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS. That is totalitarian government and brotherhood.
It is spoken of in your scriptures as the NEW JERUSALEM.
STUDENT: You mean dictatorship or one world government, or what do you mean?
SILVERTHISTLE: One world government, not dictatorship.
STUDENT: Is that the Peaceful Kingdom?
SILVERTHISTLE: Yes.
STUDENT: Will we recover from this depression or recession that we have been in
recently?
SILVERTHISTLE: Of course you will. (tape change -- some missing)
....to be easy. There is much fear and trembling yet to be experienced by the people on
this planet before they reach that union of consciousness which will enable them to live in peace
and harmony. The question was posed -- in what direction is this planet moving? It is moving
towards universal brotherhood during the coming AGE OF AQUARIUS, but an AGE encompasses
about 26,000 of your years. So do not expect this to occur by the turn of your century. As for your
NOSTRADAMUS, his predictions are accurate. They are grossly misinterpreted. The movie of
which you speak had many errors in it.
STUDENT: Is he accurate in forecasting the war -- I think the year was 1999?
SILVERTHISTLE: Some of his time elements in his PREDICTIONS are inaccurate because the
events are going to occur according to the development of the CONSCIOUSNESS which sponsors
it. And since TIME is unreal, it is impossible to say what consciousness is going to be in a certain
condition at a specific time.
STUDENT: This group consciousness you are talking about -- is this the same as race
consciousness?
SILVERTHISTLE: RACE CONSCIOUSNESS is the greatest, whereas group consciousness is a
lesser portion thereof.
STUDENT: Group could be a nation or a family? But you don't feel that several nations will
come together as a group?
SILVERTHISTLE: Of course they will.
STUDENT: They have to. That would be into the totalitarian start. Can you define race
consciousness -- give an explanation?
SILVERTHISTLE: As that term is used today, it relates to the consciousness level that man has
attained in his current history. Your recorded history goes back approximately 2,500 years. Prior
to that time there was another RACE CONSCIOUSNESS, and prior to that, another. On this planet
Earth you are entering that change-over or transitional period in which race consciousness moves
from the FIFTH SPHERE into the SIXTH SPHERE. As the fifth sphere gives birth to the sixth
sphere, man is moving into the consciousness of "I AM". This is why it is important that you
dedicate your meditation period to the understanding of "I AM". When each individual on this
planet comes into that consciousness, no longer can there be war or disharmony, and the SIXTH
RACE consciousness will be born.
STUDENT: This "I AM" you say is within each of us. Is this our essential individuality, and
I don't mean just our ego -- is this the kernel of the person?
SILVERTHISTLE: This is the eternal case. This is that ray of light which belongs to
DIVINITY and is in the way of being a thread in the tapestry of the DIVINE PLAN.
STUDENT: Each person is somewhat like a thread in the Divine Plan?
SILVERTHISTLE: Yes indeed. This is why it is so important for each to understand the "I
AM". Without your thread, the tapestry is incomplete, the Divine Plan is unfulfilled. If each
individual understood that he is as important to the Divine Plan as every other individual but no
more so, there would be nothing left to fight about.
STUDENT: A good point. I was wondering if you would consider leading us in a ten
minute meditation of your choice..
SILVERTHISTLE: If the group so desires, I would be most happy to do so. (comments)
Very well then. If you will settle yourselves into a comfortable physical position. You
should have your bodies sufficiently comfortable that you do not have to pay them any attention.
Of the first consideration is relaxation. So before we begin the MEDITATION we will have a
RELAXATION EXERCISE.
Take three deep breaths, and exhale through your mouth, and then return to normal
breathing. ... Now for a moment, observe your breath. Without your conscious will, your breath
comes into your body, replenishes your blood stream, carries away the toxins, and leaves your
body. Divine Will has provided a means by which your body is replenished and cleansed. Just
detachedly observe.
And now let us relax the body muscles. Clinch your fingers and your toes, and then let
them totally relax. Feel the tension drain away. ... Now tighten the muscles in your shoulders and
your thighs, and then relax them and feel the tension drain away. ... Now contract the muscles in
your abdomen, and then totally relax and feel the tension drain away. ... Now swallow hard, clinch
your teeth and eyes together, then relax and feel the tension drain away. ... Now continue to be
aware of the tension draining away, moving away from you, and in your thoughts move away from
your body. ... Observe it with detachment. ... And so you recognize that part of you that is not your
body.
Now think about how you feel right at this moment - -happy, sad, whatever -- and
move away from that feeling, and view that feeling with detachment. ... And you see, you are not
what you feel. ... Now examine what you are thinking, and separate from your thought. And you
see, you are not your thought. ... So there is that portion of you that is detachedly observing,
observing the body that you wear, the feelings that you carry, the thoughts that you think. And yet
it is none of these things.
Now, as you breathe normally, each exhalation of breath breathes out "I AM". Now
just be still and let that be the consciousness "I AM". ... If you are having any problem, remind
yourself, "I am not my body, I am not my feelings, I am not my thoughts. I AM".
Now, to move back toward the concurrent reality, "I am a child of God. I am a child of
God. I am a child of God." ... I have a body for which I am responsible. I bless the body I have. ...
I have feelings for which I am responsible. I bless my feelings... I have thoughts for which I am
responsible. I bless my thoughts... I am a child of God, and I am blessed...
Now, when you are comfortable, return your consciousness to this room bringing with
you that feeling of blessedness. Move your body. Press your hands together to lock the energy
within, and smile... Now before we lose this marvelous unity, let us have the healing service.
When you are ready, begin to rub your palms together... What beautiful purple tones
you are bringing forth from your meditations. We must do this more often... That is good... Bring
in your loved ones. ..... Now each of you speak your name. .... Now again rub your palms together.
... Center your palms toward the center of the circle... Keep that gorgeous purple light going -- it is
so much a higher vibration than the blue and green. And your loved ones are bathed in that blessed
healing energy... It is so vital and so moving, and it spreads and envelopes you and permeates you
bringing healing to the consciousness of every cell of your body and the bodies of your loved ones.
And it carries the lovely fragrance, the very fragrance of Heaven itself. And with your powers of
visualization you spread it throughout the world as a beautiful purple cloud enveloping the planet,
spreading its fragrance though the streets of every town and every city, and along every country
road till all who would participate and accept the healing are healed and blessed.
Open yourselves to the healing. Soak it into your pores. Feel it move throughout your
being, and return it into the world. ... And as it goes around and around the planet, it takes not only
healing but comfort. And even those who are not ready to be healed are comforted... And so it is
done. Bring your palms together locking the healing within yourselves, and know that you are
blessed. Thank you. You have done a good job.
GROUP: (Expressions of appreciation.)
SILVERTHISTLE: I think that it would be well if I leave you in this state of mind. I will give
you my blessing until next we meet. Thank you, and good night.
