Session #33 – February 4, 1984
Gloria’s Circle

Present: Larry and Eileen Horton, Richard and Mary White, LaMar and RetaMae
Bell, Bonnie Wisz, Owen and Maxine Cramer, Myra Perala, Peggy
Muldoon.

Sheariam: Let us go forward with our lessons. We are over the hump, so to
speak, with our last lesson. You have now had possibly the hardest part to
comprehend. It will remain difficult for you until you find the time to study and
incorporate these lessons in your thinking. But we wish to get finished with this
portion of the teachings, for we must get on to a meaningful application of what has
been given. We are pleased to note that you have indeed followed some of our
instructions, and begun to use some of the lessons.
We shall then be on to the lesson about the Law of Illusion. What is the
Principle? (Balance.) That is correct, and the Attribute? (Understanding.) That is
correct. Now, these three things would appear anomalous together. But as we study
the meaning of the archangel, their connection will become clearer. You have
already had the meaning of all the sounds in the archangel’s name. What is that
name? (Tzaphkiel) Let me hear you work through the sounds of the name. Take it
sound by sound and name the meaning.

Myra: The “s” is the capacity to establish value. (That is not correct.)
Voices: “z”.
RetaMae: Connection: The Divine Fire manifesting. (That is correct. Then
what does it connect with?) The Inner Fire becomes Self-conscious. (Now what does
that mean?

Myra: You become aware of the Divine Light within. (That would be partially
true at the earth-physical level. Can you piece together the cosmic meaning?)
Owen: The Divine Fire within the individual is connected to the overall Divine
Fire.
Myra: And it manifests itself in your creativity? (You keep sniffing about the
edges. You have already had this combination.)
Owen: The Divine Fire now Self-conscious. (The ancients are correct when
they said, ‘He who has ears to hear.”)
RetaMae: And so we have the directing, organizing force and the Divine
Inner Fire in self-consciousness connecting in the Divine Fire manifesting as light? (You
have included the first two letters of Ratziel, but you are correct with the “TZ”.
Divine Fire manifests through connections with Itself in consciousness. That is the
“TZA”. Did you get that?)

Myra: I don’t understand it. Could you repeat it in another way for us? (The
Divine Fire, if you will recall, is in and of itself. It is not self-aware. It simply is. It
knows that it is. Even though we give you the Law of I Am, it is not a self-conscious I
Am. In your earth-physical world, you have the animal kingdom that knows it is
alive, but does not have a sense of “I Am”.)

Myra: “TZA” indicates that this Divine Fire becomes self-conscious but
conscious of its own divinity? (Connects with itself in consciousness or through
consciousness. It does not actually become self-conscious until it sees itself in its
shadow. And what is the sound of the shadow of the Divine Fire?) That would be the
“k”. (That is correct. Now, in Tzaphkiel you have the “ph” or “f” sound. You have
been given that also.) That’s individual consciousness individualized.

Sheariam:Now you are coming to understand. This is the law under which form
begins to take place. Finish the name now with the last three letters. Can you
synthesize the meanings of the various sounds of that name? Who wishes to try?

Myra: Tzaphkiel: The Principle of Balance; The Attribute is Understanding. So
when we need to reach for understanding, we call upon Tzaphkiel whose name means the
connection of the Divine Fire which the Inner Fire becomes Self-conscious when it
connects with its own Self through its Consciousness, but it doesn’t realize this until it
sees its own shadow. (And?) And this is expressed through the light that shines through
itself?

Sheariam: Very well done. This will be an excellent assignment for you to work
on between now and the next time we meet, to synthesize the meanings of the
various sounds of the names. We will discuss the meaning of the Law and the
Principle and the Attribute. Taken all together, what was the meaning of the
archangel’s name which was given to you by Judith?

RetaMae: Dreams fill a great part of our life awake and asleep. (To dream.
What is the Order of Angels?) Arilim which means thrones. (As I stated in the
beginning, the Law of Illusion deals with form. Understanding in all realms of your
universe comes through the witness of form. Now that may not be form as tangible
in your earth-physical. Forms exist in all realms, but not in the same substance.
Balance is developed by observation of one form against another. And
remember that everything in your universe works in threes and multiples of three.
Thus, to have balance, you must have two equals balanced by a third. Do you follow
that?

Myra: In other words, the thing in the middle would balance the two on each
side, like the fulcrum? (Yes.)

Sheariam: You have it epitomized in the equal-sided triangle. In the Christian
faith you have Father, Son and Holy Ghost. In all things, you will find these
triplicities, some not as clearly defined. But you understand that everything given to
you so far fulfills this requirement?
Now the meaning, to dream is to give you the hint that true balance comes in
form not necessarily found in your earth-physical manifestation. You witness in the
earth-physical more imbalance than balance because there is such lack of
understanding. The meanings of the thrones of the angels is to demonstrate there is a
great deal of honor given to form. A throne represents the power of form. Form has
its place. As was stated previously, form exists in all realms of your universe. The
illusion is that form is the reality, when that is not true. The reality is what lies
behind the form. The reality is The Divine Fire. Do you understand?
Thus, it is that you must give form to your thoughts, to your feelings, to your,
what you call, spirit in order to establish the balance. Consequently, religion results.
It is through man’s religion that he attempts to achieve balance and understanding.
In this law is found man’s need for religion. As given before, God does not need
man’s religion. Man needs man’s religion.

Myra: Did you say it’s here where men’s need for religion manifests? (Yes. The
Principle of Balance stands behind man’s attempt to reach God. And it’s all
operative under the Law of Illusion, for if one did not expect to find reality in the
form, one would not be in ignorance. (Several requests for repeat.) If one did not
expect to find reality in form, one would not then be at a loss to understand reality.

Owen: Is that saying that if you did expect to find reality in form, then you would
be at a loss?
Myra: That’s why we don’t understand what reality is, because we expect to see
it in the outward forms of things rather than seeing it in the inner. Do I understand that?

Sheariam:Yes. You expect to find reality in form. It does not reside in form and
thus that is the Law of Illusion. If you did not expect to find reality in form then you
would not be at a loss to understand reality. But inasmuch as this is the way your
universe has been constructed, that is the way you must travel to achieve
understanding through balance.
When you have balanced the forms of one level of experience, you can then
move on to achieve balance in the forms of higher levels of experience. (Myra: Which
looks beneath the outward form but sees the inner truths.) Exactly. Do you can see that
with the lessons we are approaching an understanding of everyday life and the
meaning of that life, what may lie ahead of that life, what may be accomplished with
that life, how that life can be better in quality.
Despite your wonderings, we have not given you information in vain. We
appreciate your impatience and seeming disturbance with the information given
because it did not seem pertinent to your daily lives, although we have assured you
time and again that it does. Perhaps with this lesson, you will now be encouraged to
go back and study what has been given in order that you will understand what is to
come in the lessons in the future. It will be difficult for us to continue the teaching if
you have not done a better job of encompassing what has been given already as a
foundation.

Myra: I feel like I haven’t assimilated it very well. (This is why we have given
the lessons slowly. (Agreement that we were told.) We are also expected to exercise
patience. (Thank you. We appreciate your patience.) (Now do we have any comments
or questions about the lessons?)

Myra: You mentioned that the Order of Angels is Arilim, which means thrones.
But I don’t understand what the meaning of the word is trying to express. (The word
“throne” was chosen because in your language it means a seat of power. You in the
earth-physical, and also people in other realms of experience, place great honor in
form as though form rules their experience. When you call on Tzaphkiel, the answer
very often will come in a form of something that will demonstrate to you perhaps
the futility of your expectation or will be representative of another aspect of the
situation.
When you are puzzled by a certain set of circumstances, you may call upon
Tzaphkiel to interpret the form of the thing for you. The answer may come in
dreams, in intuition, and even everyday symbology. This is that level of experience
that gives you physical signs.
For instance, a book falls into your hands, or you unexpectedly meet
someone. A picture appears unexpectedly or in an unanticipated place or manner. A
word may be said you, in some way, little signals are given. Do you understand?)

Owen: Are these what you might call omens? (Yes.)
Bonnie: What about the wine glass that I had with the prefect triangle cut out of it?
(That was clearly what I am now speaking about.)
Myra: These could be the psychic experiences that we have? (Yes, exactly.) So,
then we can ask for interpretation of these if we don’t come to them ourselves? (Yes.)
Maxine: Now interpretation could come to us through dreams? (Yes.)
Owen: If we have difficulty in interpreting the dream, Tzadkiel could help with
that also? (Tzadkiel is what?)
Myra: To intuit. That would help us to understand it? (But what is the
difference here?)
LaMar: Tzadkiel has to do with reproduction. (And?)
Myra: And Tzaphkiel is interpretation of symbols to bring balance.

Sheariam: There is a key to Tzadkiel which is important that you have
apparently missed. What does the sound of “d” mean? (Solitude, in the silence.)
There. Tzaphkiel operates in the external world.

Myra: Tzadkiel operates in the internal world, in the meditation state?
Maxine: Then Tzaphkiel is in the external. Is that it?
Myra: That’s where the “thought and action reproduces its own kind”, or healing
comes, when we ask Tzadkiel for help. And when we ask Tzaphkiel for help, we get
interpretation of our symbols. He comes through our dreams. (Dreams are clothed in
symbols of your external world.) (Ed. Awake or asleep.)

Bonnie: I’ve really had a lot of dreams lately. (Developing psychics often do.) My
guides have often shown me triangles. (An admonition to retain balance and
perspective. If you will continue the symbol of your triangle in the glass with what
you were given that night, you will find some truth there for you.

Myra: Could I ask a question about that glass? You said last time that there are
no accidents. Could you explain perhaps how that happened to do that? (You are asking
me how we manipulate the physical world? I doubt that you could understand at
this point.) You sort of answered my question, though: that you made it happen or
somebody in the other realm made it happen. (Yes.)

Bonnie: Oh! I knew it!
Myra: That’s very exciting. (If you will study, it will get more exciting.)
LaMar: If or when it’s appropriate, I would appreciate being able to ask a question
about Tzadkiel and calling upon Tzadkiel. (Ask now.) As you all know I’ve had
problems with my neck, and about a year ago x-rays showed that the cartilage was gone
from between some of the vertebrae. I’m not sure whether that has been rebuilt or not.
My question is: Would it be correct for me to call upon Tzadkiel so that, through
the Law of Reproduction, the cartilage could be replaced, grown, as in the Attribute it
said, “grow new tissue, bring new thoughts together, permits healing, etc.”? I have been
calling upon Tzadkiel asking that through the Law of Reproduction that cartilage between
the vertebrae in my back and neck, if it has not already been replaced, such would
happen. Is this correct use?

Sheariam: It is again necessary that you recall the rule of three. When you call
upon the archangels, always call upon Khamael first, Gabriel second, and any other
third.

Bonnie: I was thinking we had to go through every one of them. (No.)
LaMar: I have called upon the others along with Tzadkiel. However, I did not do it
in the order that you said. (You will find the order to be very helpful.)
Bonnie: We were calling on the archangels when we were sending out a mailing
this week. But when I got to “I Am”, I couldn’t form it correctly to… (It is not necessary
to repeat the law. Calling upon the archangel activates that side of your nature and
works for you.) So, you don’t have to use a sentence of what you’re asking for? (No.)
You should just have a clear thought in mind? (Yes.)

Myra: What your desire is?
LaMar: Then in calling upon Ratziel to help get into the flow, you would call on
Khamael first, then Gabriel, and then Ratziel, asking for help to get into the flow or to
become one with God or The Absolute. I have been adding a fourth one there and asking
Raphael to keep me in the flow. Is that correct?

Sheariam: A more powerful way to perform this meditation would be to call
Khamael, Gabriel, and then either of the other two. Then repeat Khamael and
Gabriel with the other one. Keep your invocations in threes.

Bonnie: So, because I want to get rid of my glasses, I will ask for Tzadkiel, for
perfect eyesight.
Eileen: In regard to healing, how would it be to call on Raphael? It says “to make
whole”. Would he be equally powerful to call upon as the third one? (Of course, the
archangels are equal in power except for the first two.) I mean for healing. What
would be the best one to call upon for healing? (One can make something whole and
still have it imperfect.) I was thinking about the missing discs. The missing disc, though,
would be something you’d want to make whole. I have one, too.

LaMar: Well, as she said, we’d call upon Khamael first, then Gabriel, and then one
of the others. Then go back and call upon Khamael, Gabriel, and the other, whichever
one we wanted.
Eileen: Well, the “one of the others” is the one, I wondered, who would be the one
to call upon for healing as the third archangel: Raphael or Tzadkiel? (Several
“Tzadkiel”) But to make something whole again?
LaMar: Tzadkiel has to do with growing new tissue. I witnessed a person receive a
kneecap where a kneecap had been removed. This happened during a Kathryn Kuhlman
meeting. A new kneecap was grown right there. I also know a lady who went to a
meeting one evening and had some teeth filled, and went back to the dentist who almost
fell over when he found there were no cavities where there had been cavities the week
before. So, I know that bone and tissue can be replaced. (Some discussion.)

Sheariam: You might wish to heal something that did not require regeneration of
tissue. (Maxine: Healing a friendship, you might say?) That, too. Anything else?

LaMar: Will we have further lessons on, shall we say, practical usage, how to call
upon these archangels? (That is why I mentioned earlier, you must learn what has
been given, or we cannot go forward with the lessons. You cannot build a sound
house on a faulty foundation.)

Myra: Could I ask you a question about the book we’re working on? Tuesday
night before we mailed the flyers, we called upon Khamael and Gabriel and Ratziel. I
was wondering if you could suggest to us some other techniques that we might use in
planning upcoming things to do with our publication, things that would be effective. (It
is not time for me to be involved in that.) Better after we figure it out for ourselves and
do it? (Or ask Silverthistle.)

LaMar: In sending out anything of that nature, don’t you put, in order to bring the
energy to that… What would be the order? I have been myself trying to figure out just
how to phrase my thoughts to have them, or to have the energy come to whatever it is I
want it to come to. Apparently from what you said this evening, Khamael, Gabriel, and
one of the others would be the proper order of phrasing the request that the energy come
to that. Would it be appropriate to ask which one of the others would be the most likely to
use? (It would depend upon what you wished, what kind of energy you are calling
for.)
To go back to the book again, in that instance we were calling for the energy to
attract people to that flyer so that it would bring results. (And which of the archangels is
it that “delights in and runs with”? (Ratziel.)
Myra: Do we have a short “e” sound? (You have it at the present time in
combination with the “l”.) I noticed that, but is it…? (When the time is ripe we will
cover that subject also. For now, use it in combination with the “l”. You are calling
forth the Cosmic Light when you say “el”.)
I’m trying to compile an alphabet of sounds. That’s why I noticed that the “el”
sound had it, but we hadn’t had it anywhere else. (Be ready to make insertions.)

Sheariam: If we have covered that subject, we shall move on. Now it is known to
us that some of you are still struggling with the well, and others have done quite well
with it. We are pleased with those who have been so successful. It is time to move on.
For those who have been less successful, I recommend that you continue with the
exercise as often as you can. We will be happy to answer questions any time they
may arise for you. But we must take our instruction a little further. Your
assignment for the coming time will be to work with the “golden pyramid”. We will
make that a part of our evening’s meditation. So, if you are ready we will have our
meditation now.
As usual in meditation, you will settle your bodies comfortably so that you
need not be concerned about the body’s safety or comfort. You will take control of
the breathing, breathing in deeply through your nose and exhaling through the
mouth at least three times.
Now with as vivid an imagination as you can muster, think a golden glow.
Let energy rise within you as perhaps a feeling of joy. And as you imagine this
golden glow, and you feel that rising energy within, the two meet in the neck area.
The base is formed across your shoulders. Then the energy takes the form of a
pyramid with a point at your chin and a point above your head.
So you have a three-sided pyramid with a base, the triangle of which is
formed between each shoulder, from one shoulder to the other, and to the chin. Let
the feeling of that pyramid, encasing your head, rest on your shoulders. As this
golden glow surrounds your head in the shape of a pyramid, you will begin to feel
some kind of sensation of energy which moves up through your power center in
your throat, on up behind your eyes, into the center of your brain.
If this becomes too powerful, dismiss it, and do not continue until another
time. For those of you who feel the necessity to dismiss the pyramid, I suggest that
you simply relax and enjoy the energies of those who continue with the exercise.
You, too, will receive some benefit.
Now those of you who plan to continue, become very aware of that golden,
glowing pyramid around your head and the sensation within it. As the pressure
builds, allow the pyramid to expand so that it absorbs the energy and does not cause
you physical discomfort.
Then the pyramid becomes large enough to encompass your upper torso.
Allow it to rest, and begin to enjoy the energies that pass through you between the
walls of the pyramid. You will find great stimulation, but also great healing.
Now these pyramids are also emitting this energy into the room so that those
who are not participating may absorb the golden energy. These energies passing
through your upper body and head, from wall to wall of the pyramid, are
stimulating your psychic centers. Relax and allow any pictures that will make
themselves observable on the screen of your mind. Just enjoy the experience.
Now, while you are in the golden pyramid, the pictures, the symbols that you
see, will bring you messages, some of them reincarnational, some of them from this
life span. They will also inform you of your future. As you perform this meditation,
when you have the pyramid firmly formed and glowing brightly, you may ask
whatever it is you wish to know from your own mind centers, and the walls of the
pyramid reflect it back to you in the form of symbols which will answer your
question.
This meditation is to open your psychic centers to intensify your awareness.
We have spoken before of the necessity for porousness. This meditation opens the
psychic pores somewhat in the same nature as a steam bath would do for the body.
At first you should not spend overlong in the pyramid. You should grow into it
gradually.
I invite you now to put your golden pyramids in the center of the circle that
the golden light shall flow together, and we shall then invite the ones you love to
come and join us that their awareness shall also be awakened. (Many names softly
spoken.) Now I would suggest that you also call in whom you have notified about the
availability of your forthcoming book, that their consciousness shall be brought into
the golden light and their awareness thus stimulated to the energies placed upon
your communication.
Now let the golden energies form a single pyramid in your midst. While you
and your loved ones bask in its golden glow, allow the pyramid to grow and grow
and expand until it is large enough to completely encompass the globe that people
everywhere will be touched and their awareness stimulated.
Remember that your thought has the power to encircle the globe, not once,
but a number of times before it loses its force. So, as you visualize this golden
glowing pyramid, you are touching everyone wherever this pyramid exists. It has
form under the Law of Illusion even in the realm of the invisible to the earth-
physical. It is not invisible in other realms.
Now with your personal blessing, allow your loved ones to return to
themselves, and you shall bring your consciousness back to this immediate room
and to the increased awareness of yourself, your body, your circumstances, your
environment, and all else around you.
And so, I give you my blessing. Go in peace until we meet again. And so it is
done. I bid you good night. (Many good nights.)

Closed with “Let there be peace on earth.”
