Session #29 - December 3, 1983
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Bonnie Wisz, LaMar and Reta Bell, Larry and Eileen Horton, Richard
White, Ida Nevala, Myra Perala, Owen and Maxine Cramer, Jean
Chisholm
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. We have been greatly interested
as we observed your thoughts with regard to what we have been teaching you. In
our observations, we see that we have been remiss to a certain degree. Thus, it is
tonight that I bring you a few extra admonitions.
As metaphysics teaches you to visualize that which you desire, telling you to
perfect it, to get as clear a picture of it as you can, you obediently do so. Then the
manifestation falls short of your desire, and you do not understand why. It is
because this method enters the cycle of creativity rather in the middle than at the
beginning.
Because all things are cyclical, you can, of course, enter the cycle at any point
and thus energize the rest of the cycle. But because you are in the human condition,
and your conscious minds with which you decide what you desire are far from
perfected, it is impossible that you could visualize the proper thing for yourself.
Consequently, if you could visualize a purse full of money, for instance, you may
indeed have your purse filled with money.
For us, all the other laws are also energized, the idea is formed. Process takes
place, and all the other laws are enacted, but not in accordance with truth. Thus, it
is that the money may fill your purse through the demise of a relative or through an
automobile accident. This is not the way in which you might wish to have your purse
filled, but the manifestation has occurred.
In our teaching, we are attempting to teach you to enter the cycle of
creativity and manifestation at the proper point in the proper way, and thus obtain
that which is most proper for you in accordance with the Principle of Migration:
being in the right condition, in the right place, at the right time. Thus, visualization
is truly a means to manifestation, but it is not the best.
The nature of the instrument must correspond with the nature of the power.
As human beings, you must be prepared for the manifestation. This is the
development which we desire for you. It is the goal toward which you move in these
lessons. You do not expect an electric lamp to be lit with the power of kerosene. Be
aware that you are an instrument. You are a substance through which the power of
the universe constantly seeks to manifest. It can only manifest through you to the
degree that your nature is prepared. This is what is meant by the metaphysicians
when they say to “attune yourself to the Infinite,” to place yourself in the flow.
The universal power or forces are impersonal. It matters not to the forces or
the powers the nature or level of understanding or development of the instrument.
When the universal power finds that vessel that is open to it, it enters that vessel and
becomes individualized, personalized. Thus, you may see people whom you feel are
not worthy of the benefits they derive from life. It is beyond your understanding
why someone who is criminal in your society should enjoy social benefits which are
denied those you consider more-worthy. The power is impersonal. The power has no
moral judgment.
The nature of the instrument must correspond to the nature of the power.
Thus, if you would manifest healing, if you would manifest prosperity, you must
develop that nature that enables the universal power to manifest in that way. There
has been for centuries abroad on your globe teachings of pieties. The spiritual
person is not the person who spends half his time on his knees and the other half not
doing that which he should not do. The spiritual person is the person who conforms
his nature to that which he would manifest.
If you would be healthy, conform your nature to health. There is a phrase in
your medical society today that talks of illness as being psychosomatic illness. Why
should you not practice psychosomatic health? If you would be healthy in your
body, be healthy in your psyche. Think healthy if you would be healthy. Have I
made my point? (Bonnie: I still don’t understand how we would do it exactly.)
By studying the material which we give you; by contemplating the lessons
that we give you; by orientation of your thought. If you would be successful, you
must first believe that life moves onward. You must then accept that you can have
or be anything you want. Then you must have courage to face the challenges of your
life. And last, but not least, you must be patient and take one step at a time. That is
how you do that.
We have given you an assignment: to prepare an idea. You must first believe
that life will move onward carrying the idea with it. You must then accept that the
idea will manifest. We gave you comments on consent, and here is where consent
comes into play. Once you have put the idea into the mixture of life, you must then
consent to the challenges the manifestation of that idea is going to bring you, which
will require courage.
Then you must also know to exercise patience, to allow that idea to mature
one step at a time. You do not grow to full stature overnight. You are born a baby,
helpless, totally dependent. You learn independence as you crawl, stand, walk, and
run, one step at a time. You are not, if you have been thinking ill, going to start
totally thinking health. You must first believe health. Then you must accept health.
When you accept health, you also must face its challenges with courage. Then you
must have the forbearance to await its manifestation. Does that help answer your
question?
Let us then review a little bit about “Ideation”, the first step in creativity.
This is the step of clarification. If you would set in motion an idea, clarify that idea.
Let it be as pure a truth as you can possibly understand at your level of
understanding. There is nothing expected of you greater than that which you are at
any place, at any time.
“Wisdom” is connected with “Ideation”, is it not? And what is wisdom?
Clarity of thought; being far-sighted; looking towards the ultimate consequence. It
is not that you can predict or define the ultimate manifestation of an idea. As we get
to tonight’s lesson on “Reproduction”, we will discuss that. But examine your idea
from all points of view. Circle it. Look at it in the light that you can throw upon it.
Then, under the Law of Process, take, for instance, the snowflake. You may
have a snowfall of countless snowflakes, each one uniquely individual unlike its
neighbors. Yet each one responds to the forces outside itself. It responds to the
forces of air, to the pull of gravity, and yet retains its individuality, its uniqueness.
All the while it is doing what it is meant to do. Thus, it is with the individual. Each
individual expresses his uniqueness when he responds to the forces of life from
within rather than through conformity to opinion, tradition, or social pressure. This
is the process of individuation, differentiation. You are whole, total, in your
uniqueness.
***So, we come to the Law of Reproduction. The Principle is Cohesion. The
Attribute is Mercy, Love, and Compassion. The Archangel is Tzadkiel. You have
been given that it means “to intuit”. Now you will have one new sound added. That
is the sounds of “d”. This sound means “solitude” or “in the silence”. So, we have
the initial sound of the “t” and “z” spoken together which means “connection” and
“sound of the Divine Fire manifesting.” So, in the name of Tzadkiel then, you have
the “connection with the Divine Fire manifesting itself.”
The “a” sound, the Inner Fire become Self Conscious, you have a connection
with the manifest Divine Fire now self-Conscious. Then you have the sound of the
“d” which I just gave you as being “solitude” or “in the silence.” “In the within-
ness.” This is that inner life, the life that gives you intelligence. This is your guidance
and your protection.
Then the “k” sound that reminds you that all is a shadow of The Absolute,
but is a reflection of The Absolute, and thus it is also Divine in its nature. Then you
have the “e” sound, the inner force expressing itself. And the final “el”, of course,
meaning the light. So therein lies the secret of “Reproduction.” Now
“Reproduction” is not totally procreation. It means that everything repeats itself.
You cannot produce something other than what is of the very nature of the
producer.
Now it is this inner guidance system which is a protecting system which acts
through the Principle of Cohesion. This guarantees, ensures, that you will not fall
apart. You cannot splinter yourself and run off in a million directions. You cannot
get lost. Through the intuitive faculties, you are forever intrinsically linked with that
which created you. Every thing that you create is linked with you in the same way.
But you have no more control over that which you create than your own creator has
over you. This is why the idea initiated must be pure, for it will reproduce itself
limitlessly. But it will never lose contact with that which originally created it.
Now an idea is simply a new arrangement of the components. This is the
miracle-working agent. So, long as you believe in things the way they now exist, so
long as you accept things as they now exist, so long as your courage fails in creating
the new, so long as you fail to practice patience, you will remain without miracles.
By the Law of Reproduction, impatience breeds impatience. You get in your
own way. Fear breeds more fear. This is what is meant by becoming attuned, by
getting in the flow, by thinking right thoughts, for your thoughts reproduce and
hang together and cling to you.
The positive Attribute is Mercy and Love. When your thoughts, your deeds
and actions are clothed in Mercy and Love, you will be healthy, happy, and
prosperous, for you could be no other way.
Myra: If basically your thoughts are clothed in mercy and love, but one day an
incident happens with someone else, and you forget to feel this mercy and love, how
much damage does that do?
Sheariam: You can only judge that within yourself, with your own intuitional
system. (So, it could be very devastating, or it could be just a little bit depending on how
deeply you felt? We will get to understanding and feeling later. But be assured the
least thought of anger, hatred, jealousy, resentment, envy, all reproduce and stay
with you.
Now your process in becoming a spiritualized human being is like that of a
carver who produces a figure out of a block of wood. The carver whittles away,
sliver by sliver, all that does not belong to the figure that he sees within the block of
wood. As you work on yourselves, you whittle away all the accretions of lifetimes
that do not belong to you as a spiritualized individual.
You are in the human condition. You are not going to be perfected in one life
span. But every moment that you can retain your thoughts, your deeds, and your
actions in pure attunement with the Divine, you shed some accretion, something that
you have acquired by thinking otherwise. By the Law of Reproduction each moment
that you shed an unwanted accretion, you are reproducing those thoughts, giving
yourself more power to withstand a harder challenge, to face a tougher test at
another time.
Believe that life moves forward. Nothing stagnates. Consequently, every good
thought gains you power. Every negative thought costs you positive power and gains
you negative power. Idle words of gossip, idle thoughts of recrimination, of ridicule,
cost you. I’m sure that you can carry this lesson forward. Does anyone have any
questions? Very well.
It has been brought to our attention that you are going to have some extra
sessions. We are in accord. We will be most happy to be with you at your holiday
celebration, and we will have a little surprise for you. (Many happy exclamation.) We
also have informed Silverthistle of your talks about his book, and he has some words
to say to you about that when the time is right. So now we shall end this lesson and
have some discussion on your experiences. Dose anyone have anything they would
like to have discussed?
LaMar: Yes, I might ask a question. While in California, as you possibly already
know, someone broke the window on the car and cleaned it out. I wondered if that was
some sort of a lesson that we were supposed to have to learn, or challenge, or if it was
just that someone needed that equipment.
Sheariam: Many factors, of course, apply in such instances. For your personal
growth, there is some change you need to make. You need to become more detached
in regard to personal possessions. Realize that nothing belongs to you. It all belongs
to the Universal. You are custodian of certain things for a certain period of time.
When you use those things for the purpose for which you have them, they are
inviolate. When the time comes that they must be in other hands, then certain things
must take place to transfer that property.
Sometimes this occurs when the material possessions you may at that
moment be using is inadequate for the job you must do later. Thus it may become
broken or stolen or lost, forcing you to replace it with that which you truly will use
rightly. There is also the lesson of the emotional attachment and fear. Nothing can
be taken from you that is truly yours to be used by you. This is the custody of
material goods which are only universal energy in a temporary form.
You are to move on. There are things that you must do. You must examine
yourself using your intuitional capacity to see what it is that you are to move
forward to. If you are unsuccessful, we will then help you, but you must fist try on
your own. (Thank God. Thank God.)
Bonnie: I had a lot meditations, but one in particular. I went down my path and
there was a road block set up so that I couldn’t go beyond. I looked on the other side and
there was a large crevice. “So,” I thought, “well, I’m going to the well no matter what.”
So, I removed the roadblock, and I put four boards across and made a bridge. I went
across, and I went on to the well. I was just wondering, why that road block?
Sheariam: For the same reason that previously you’ve found cracks in your table
and cracks in your well. You are being shown that there are road blocks, that is
thought patterns you are putting up to deter your progress. There is within you
some reluctance to move towards that which you have established in your destiny.
But you show courage and resourcefulness, and you will move forward.
Maxine: I have a meditation. I called to my guides, Father Abraham, Luke and St.
Francis, and Arthur, and said, “Thank you for being with me when I needed you.” I
realized I was like a teenager, and they were guiding me like a father. Each is so
wonderful in their special way. I thought, “How old am I? Am I only a teenager?” I have
hopes of being a responsible adult. I choose to be a happy, cheerful, responsible person.
With such a special family, who could lose?
I wondered, “Is Miriam a mother-figure” I feel it is time I should meet her. I shall
go to the well.” So, I went to the meadow and knelt beside the pool. I cupped both hands
and took a drink. Then I cupped one hand and took another drink. I looked for Miriam.
Then to the right in the distance I could see her. I waited and then she was standing right
beside me. She was young with shoulder-length light brown curly hair.
“You are like a child who needs to grow up.” Then the phone rang at this time,
and it took me time to get back into my meditation. I asked, “Would she be like a mother
to me?” She said, “Yes, she would give me comfort.” And that was my meditation.
Sheariam: Yes. Your meditations are coming quite clear. You are doing very
well.
Eileen: I finally made it to the well. I approached the thing a little bit differently
this time, more from the standpoint of imagination, but it led me into it. I realized that
I’ve been doing this meditation wrong. I started out with a path, and that’s all I saw, just
this path, nothing to either side, front, or back. And it seemed as if it were in the woods,
very narrow with tall grass on either side. I had the feeling there were trees, but I didn’t’
actually see them. When I did look forward, it was shady, and it was indeed in the woods.
The well was a little old-fashioned round well with a little peaked roof on it. It
seemed to be made of brick, about 2 1/2 feet tall. There was moss on the well around the
brick, not completely covering. There wasn’t a bucket there, but there was a ladle. I went
over to pick up the ladle, and it seemed that I was outside myself, looking down at this
person. It was me, and yet it was a young girl about 15 or 16 years old with dark curly
hair, dressed in rather old-fashioned dress. I was aware that it was me.
` I took the ladle and looked down into the well. It was just black. I dipped the ladle
down into the well, and a deep purple liquid was inside the ladle. The ladle, incidentally,
was kind of a chrome color. Then on top of this purple liquid was all of this sparkly,
silvery sort of liquid. I drank from it, and I put the ladle back and walked away.
I remembered I must look back. At the time I was there, I was not aware of people
at all, but when I walked down the path and looked back, it seemed there were all sorts of
entities there, but I couldn’t really see them. I just felt they were there. Then a face and
shoulders materialized. It was the most roguish, impish-looking man. He had this real
impish look on his face. As I went over to him, he communicated to me by telepathy,
“Lighten up!” Then it all just broke off. That was so clear. I know just what he means.
Sheariam: There are two elements I would comment upon. The fact that the trees
were not clear, although you did realize you were in a forest, shows that you have
aspiration yet to reach or to realize. They are not at this time in your current
consciousness, but they will come and they will be realized. Keep working with your
well. You are on your road, and you will soon meet your members. (Eileen: Why
did I see the young girl and feel that it was me? (Because it is you.) Would this be
another lifetime?
No. That is in this portion of your overall cycle. This span as the individual
you now think yourself to be is in the overall growth of the spiritual being
adolescent. As I described earlier, everything grows from infancy to maturity. A life
span is only one level or period of development in an overall cycle of growth. There
are people in the human physical condition that are like infants. They are totally
dependent.
I am speaking now, not necessarily the dependence of a deformed body, but a
mental and emotional dependence as well. Then you will find those who are very
mature. These are manifesting lives at levels of development. In an effort to explain,
let us hypothesize that it would take 100 life spans for total maturity of a spiritual
entity. The 15th life span would represent adolescence. The first span, of course,
would be infancy.
Do you understand? (I think so. Would the teenage be rebellious?) Yes. There
is much inward growth in an adolescent span. There is much rebellion against
authority, tradition, external pressures. (I understand. Thank you.)
Bonnie: Are we all here inside of that life span right now? (You are not all
adolescents, no. This group overall represents a very wide spectrum of levels of
development.) I’d like to ask a question about my meditation and a well.
This time I found myself in a town square of ancient Rome. In the middle of the
square was a nice, well-made stone well, stone and mortar, and it had a well-made
wooden roof support. When I reached for the bucket to drop it down into the well, I
noticed it was a tin bucket, and there was a little bit of rust around in the creases. It had a
chain attached to it that was also rusty. It looked like it had been used constantly, so I had
no hesitation. It looked very serviceable. I dropped it through a hole in the wood cover
and dipped the water out. It was very cool and refreshing. There was a dipper there to
drink from.
Then I looked up hoping to see people. In the past I’d not had people around the
well. This time there were people. There were no f aces that I could make out, but at least
there were people. They were quite near the well. They were not totally ignoring me.
They seemed to be somewhat interested in the fact that I was there and gave me some
incentive to keep working at this.
I have one other thing to add. That is, immediately before this scene, when I was
wanting to picture a well, there was the strangest thing. There was a similar town, a
similar setting to this one, but everything was in shiny stainless steel: the well, the
ground, the buildings, the houses, everything. And I thought, “Oh, no. This is wrong!” So
I erased it all from my mind, and then went ahead with what I told you about. I’m very
curious about this.
Sheariam: It is very interesting, the way the mind works to clothe thoughts in
symbolical garb. The first one of the stainless steel was evidence of sterility. It’s as
though the mind was saying, “This is an unproductive effort.” And yet the spiritual
you said, “No, I do not accept this. I will persist.” Then you found yourself in Rome
which is the epitome of the rise and fall in vanity, greed, and misappropriation of
universal energy. Yet there is where you met your band. Although you meet your
band, you cannot see them face to face. I suggest that you look into your own sense
of self. Examine how you feel about being a successful meditator, for instance.
Examine your sense of self esteem. See if there is some degree of vanity or other
emotion that might be represented by Rome and the decay that it represents.
(Thank you very much.)
Do not forget, all of you, that what you envision when you think about your
well has meaning. Remember also that Tzadkiel, that inner, intuitional guidance
knows all there is to know about you, and will present to you in clarity without
judgment that which you must look at within yourself if you are to chip away the
accretion of time and reveal yourself as a truly purely spiritual entity.
Bonnie: Could I ask another at this time? I had a meditation where I went into my
room, and it was all lit by candles. I walked in with a candle in my hand. I went over to
my table, and for the first time there was a dark cloth on the table. On it were ten to
fifteen human hearts. I healed all of those hearts with my hands.
Then these people lined up, and I put the hearts in them, and I judged each one of
them. I said one sentence to each one of them, like, “Be more caring,” or some such
sentence to each one, all different. When that was done I felt very satisfied, really
complete, like I had really accomplished something, like that was exactly what I’m all
about. I folded my hands in my robe and walked very purposely down the path to the
well.
More things seem to be happening to me at this table and at the well. But the heart
seems to always be some kind of a symbol of what I’m doing. Can you tell me about
that?
Sheariam:Yes. The table is connected with your current development. The well
is connected with the waters of your life. That is to say, a well experience will
transcend parameters of this one single lifetime. Whereas the table deals with what
is happening with you now in the individuation which you currently recognize.
Thus, this meditation points out to you how in the overall you have an affect on
other people of heartening them. You encourage people. You brighten their lives.
You give them strength and courage to face the future just by being yourself. That is
not to deny the developing healing capacity which is working within you. (Thank
you.)
Myra; Could I ask you a question about what you said about Tzadkiel? You said
that when we are seeking about ourselves, when we go to the well, that Tzadkiel knows
all about ourselves and would present this information to us with clarity. Is that what you
said?
Sheariam:Yes. I would make an amplification here perhaps. Remember that the
names of the archangels are given in order to characterize the powers. You are a
minute but complete “I Am.” You have a minute but complete “Will.” All of the
powers represented by the Archangels are present in you in their own minute but
complete form. When you invoke an Archangel’s’ power, you are activating that
power within yourself. We will include this in our meditation tonight. Perhaps it is
now time to go into our meditation.
When you are ready, take some deep breaths and concentrate for a moment
or two on relaxing your bodies. Breathe in lots of oxygen so that all parts of your
body are energized.
Now let us make the connection with the Divine Energy. Let us recite the
AUM three times together. (Done) Allow that connection to become affirmed.
Now together repeat the name of Khamael three times. (Done) Now in the
silence feel the power of Divine Fire that enlivens every cell of your body. That is the
power behind every cell of your thoughts. Feel the fire burning within you. Begin to
find that the power rises from the base of your spine and slowly moves upward. By
repeating the name of Khamael, we have invoked the very Divine Fire within your
own person, within your own entity.
Now together, repeat the name Gabriel three times. (Done) Now feel the
strength as the rising Fire within reaches the chest area, and you find courage and
strength and power. Your will is strengthened, and you realize that you can do and
be anything you want.
Now with the fullness of heart, let that love center expand. Feel the warmth
of the fire. Let the healing pervade your being. Transmit the fire to the center of the
circle. (During the past few sentences Gloria had begun to cough.) Send your power to
Gloria.
Regretfully, we must leave, and allow the entity to care for the body. We
cannot help. (This spoken with difficulty and more coughing by Gloria.)
Closed with “Let there be peace on earth.”
