Session #43 – January 19, 1985
Gloria’s Circle

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

Sheariam: Good evening, students and friends. As we witness your studies, we
are greatly encouraged. We would, however, make one point. You tend to evade the
spirit of the issue and attempt to examine semantic details too closely. We would
rather that you would absorb, soak up, what we give, not at the expense of the
rational mind. But do not make the truth expendable in your efforts at seeking the
secrets. Bathe yourselves in the information we give you. Let it seep into your
consciousness. Let the understanding arise from within rather than from without.
As you live under the Law of Illusion, that veil of illusion is torn asunder by
the understanding which is your inherited wealth. If you but allow it to rise from the
depths of your being and encompass this body of knowledge, not to pick it apart, but
to understand the parts.
We will at this time entertain some questions you now carry in your hearts,
before proceeding with the further lesson.

LaMar: I hate to bring up this business of affirmations again. RetaMae and I spent
last week down at the beach where all we had to do was to read and study and look at the
ocean. And I, at that time, prepared a chart for the group to have to aid us hopefully in
studying these: the Laws, Principles, Attributes, etc.
We were discussing last week getting all of this organized into possibly a
publishable form. The reason I’m bringing this up again are the affirmations I would like
to get into this chart. For instance, I have for Khamael and I Am, “I am eternal life”,
which is very short. When I have my eyes shut in meditation, and I want to go through
this, it is very easy to remember, saying “Now what’s gong on?”.
For Gabriel, “I will Divine Will”. But most of them, what I have figured out is so
long. For instance, on Ideation and Ratziel, I have “Clarity of thought establishes Divine
Wisdom bringing me into the flow and my proper place, perfect health.”
I would be most grateful if we could go through these, and if you would help us to
come up with some short affirmations. I don’t know whether we can make affirmations
which would apply to each one of us, if we had them in this chart, or if each one of us
needs affirmations of our own, for instance, with regard to health. So if we could possibly
get some that are short and to the point such as the two I mentioned, I know I, for one,
would be most grateful.

Sheariam: It is important, in making affirmations, that they be short, concise in
order to be effective. (LaMar: Most of mine are longer than I would like to have them,
but I really don’t understand enough to bring them down to a short affirmation, so I need
help.) They become extended as you become too detailed. Consciousness can
understand that which is very simple and yet comprehensive. You do not need to go
into detail. (For example, my affirmation for Ideation as quoted earlier, could you give
us something shorter than that which would do the job?) You might say “Divine Idea
wisely places me in the right flow.” Now, it is not appropriate that we determine
your affirmations. If that were appropriate, we would have done so. It is essential to
your growth that you devise your own affirmations out of your own understanding
through your own consciousness. As you grow, as you know more and more, you
will begin to formulate more precise and more effective affirmations, keeping in
mind always shortness, conciseness, pertinence without extraneous detail.
As you affirm to establish health consider that one becomes ill because one
loses connection or cohesion with one’s Self in all parts. Thus it is enough to affirm
“Divine Wisdom puts me where I belong”. Ill health of the physical organism is only
symptomatic of other problems. When you become too detailed, you may effect
some remission of symptoms, but not heal the cause.

Peggy: Sheariam, I want to know, is this true, that when we don’t take the steps
that we’re supposed to in life, that the soul pushes us into it? (The answer to that is a
several-session dissertation, and that question will ultimately be answered.)

Richard: Sheariam, last time we were together, you made a statement that we’ve all
been wondering about. You said something to the effect that if we didn’t exist, the
Universe would not exist. We were wondering if you could add anything to that.

Sheriam: That statement was made as I attempted to explain what occurs in the
Realm of Spirit which ultimately manifests as you. Whatever ideation begins must
ultimately manifest, for nothing is lost. Consequently, if there were not you, there
would not be anything, for the idea would not have been born. You are proof that
there is an idea.

Richard: So we exist for the same reason the Universe exists. If we didn’t exist, it
wouldn’t exist. I see. Thank you.
Owen: Is this to say that the purpose of the Universe is really secondary to the
purpose of our existence?

Sheariam: No, that is not a verity. Universe comes first. You develop out of
Universe. The Universe is built upon the seven laws. Spirit comes out of Universe.
Spirit enacts the seven laws. You see, in other universes there are other realms.
There are relationships, corollaries, but in another universe the realm comparable
to the Realm of Spirit is incomprehensible to you. This takes us to our lesson of what
transpires in the Realm of Spirit.
As we gave previously, while all is indeed in process, the process of the Realm
of Spirit is partition, separativeness, individualization. It is in the Realm of Spirit
where the Two Opposing Forces manifest fission and fusion, both operative
simultaneously, separating the previously homogenous solution into separated
particles. This is where particularization occurs.
What you know of as “space” is actually “spirit” as known in the Realm of
Spirit. Another analogy which might be used is that of the condensation of dew upon
your earth. As the water droplets congregate and leave the body of air which had
previously carried them, the air essentially remains the same. It does not disappear
simply because water is separated from it. Spirit does not disappear simply because
stars are formed out of its substance.
It is in the Realm of Spirit that time and space become realized. Space is
essentially the time it takes to move from one place to another. Your basic conflict is
with time. You might say that time is the radius of the space for which your
consciousness is the circumference. It is in the Realm of Spirit that the blueprint
becomes apparent.
There is a fixed equation for the ratio between time and space which is
established during this sedimentary process which occurs in the Realm of Spirit.
This formula does not change. Perception may distort the conception of that ratio.
Now we have spoken of this as though it were static. And again, I must
remind you that beginning with the Divine Germ Cell all is in motion. It is in the
Realm of Spirit that what you call “motion” becomes discernable. Relationships
depend upon that ratio of time and space, and the focus of energy or motion.
Relationships change as motion or force is added or subtracted. It is the function of
Volition to control the rest and restrain that expansiveness. Again, oppositions, you
see, and this is “thought”. So what you know of yourselves and of your world begins
for you in the Realm of Spirit. Here is to be found those magic formulae sought by
your scientists.
These individualizations of process which began in the Realm of Spirit do
have termination back in the Realm of Spirit. And so it could be said that you are in
a state of revolution instead of merely evolution, for you are coming out of Spirit
even while you are moving back to Spirit. It is through the realms below Spirit that
this occurs for the planetary inhabitants, which, of course, includes you as humans.
The noetic man exists on many different planets, in many different star
systems, in many different galaxies. It is in the Realm of Spirit that the blueprint for
this manifestation of self-consciousness becomes differentiated from the blueprint of
other manifestations. In the Realm of Mind that blueprint is utilized to develop
different kinds of man, different kinds of manifestation. But the plan is developed in
the Realm of Spirit.
And this is all we shall give you on this matter at this time. Is there anything
I can clarify.

Owen: One very small detail. Is “noetic man” thinking man? (The blueprint for
a manifestation which can use the Realm of Mind is established. We used the word
“noetic” to come as close as we can in your language to a mentally or intellectually
active manifestation.)

LaMar: I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but just before the session started, we
were somewhat jokingly talking about somewhere along the line we must have made a
mistake or turned the wrong corner, or we wouldn’t be here. We would still be in Spirit.
You had said, I think last time, that those in Spirit had not yet left Spirit. Is there
anything to be said on that to help us? Did we make a choice that led us to not be still in
Spirit with the rest of the group up there?

Sheariam: In the Realm of Spirit, while individualism is forming, there is not yet
choice. It is in the Realm of Spirit that the waters are separated from the waters as
mentioned in your bible, and the firmament in between established as “heaven”.
There is not anything in the Realm of Spirit which has “fallen” from the Divine.
There are no choices as yet being made, only the Divine Idea in the process of
manifesting. As we get into the discussion of the Realm of Mind, you will find those
bricks which form the foundation of the legend of the “fall from grace”.
Very well. We will give you time to chew on that which has been given. Let us
now move to some of your personal experiences insofar as your meditations.

LaMar: Well, I’m finally getting back to where I can have a meditation. I have no
problem going to the pyramid. I don’t know that I have actually learned anything. I’ve
got a lot of good relaxation from the meditations, though. (You will recall that some of
you, in the early beginnings of your assignment, had no results in your attempts to
visit the well. But as time went on you grew. Do not despair.)
Well, I have been somewhat like Larry described last time. I used to have very
deep meditations. I went into meditation quite easily. And then there has been a period of
time when it was just a matter of getting a little rest and sitting there, because it seemed
like it was very difficult for me to get my mind quiet and to actually get into meditation.
(This too shall pass.)

RetaMae: I am enjoying the pyramids very much, Sheariam, and I hear music that
I’ve never heard before. It kind of startled me at first. Its tones and things are beyond
what I get in the physical. I was wondering if you could comment on that. (This is one of
the experiences we had hoped.) It startled me at first, and I couldn’t…. I don’t see
people I know. There are things there, but I don’t see forms or anything. I’m basically
alone. And I don’t go into an entrance in the pyramid now, I just go through. I can’t
explain it. (That, too, was hoped for.)
This happened when we were out at the beach and very quiet, and we had just
total relaxation and away from all the hip-hip-hooray of everyday life. (Yes. The walls
that you experience in your daily lives are part of the veil of illusion. As you move
into the meditative state, those veils should be torn asunder. When you do not need
a doorway for your consciousness, you can then realize the insubstantiality of the
material world, and know that in your mind and in your consciousness, and in your
spirit, you can go into other dimensions.)
Thank you, Sheariam. That answers a lot of other things that have been going on.
(Then, you see, as you rip aside the veils of illusion, you can move into the Law of
Dominance with confidence, but without egotism. And having conquered that
mountain, you can move into the Law of Relinquishment, which is utter mastery by
letting go. When you become again one with the universal flow.)

LaMar: I regressed myself not knowing I was doing it to a place where I stopped
and started which I didn’t realize I was doing, but I was aiming for a rebirth, but I got
stopped. I haven’t been able to go back except the other night during ESPers. For the first
time I felt like I gained a little bit on my rebirth. Now I have never thought I could
regress myself. I had no idea I was going into a rebirth. So that’s my status. (But you are
moving along, you see. Change is occurring. You are not in the same place as last
you were when you spoke of this before.)

Bonnie: I don’t know if I’m using it as an excuse to not meditate as often as I used
to, but it seems that my dream world is so busy that when I wake up in the morning, I
want to just contemplate what I’ve dreamt and analyze it and understand it, and then I
don’t think about meditating. (You should do some meditation before you go to sleep
at night.) Yes, and that’s when I usually fall asleep, so I try to do it in the morning. Now
that’s not working, either. (Then arrange your body so you will not go to sleep. Give
yourself five minutes upright on a hard chair or on the floor before you go to bed.)
OK, I’ll try that. Thank you.

Sheariam: Have we then covered all pertinent points for this night?

RetaMae: I just know that all the material we’re getting is so important and means so
much to me to go over it and read it and re-read it and study it.

Sheariam: It means much to us. It takes a great deal of what manifests in your
condition as time and energy on our part to bring this to you. If we did not consider
it important in the scheme of things, we would not waste ourselves in the effort. In
our condition, we are as earnest in our desire to develop, to grow, to seek higher
realms as you are in your condition. While teaching you adds to our development, it
does not add as much as we could attain in another endeavor. So, if we did not think
or feel the necessity, we would simply direct ourselves elsewhere. (Expressions of
gratitude and appreciation from the group.)

Bonnie: Are we on the right track as far as forming another book with this
information? (That is exceptionally gratifying to us. Again, to repeat something given
before, if we did not feel that you as a group would do something with the
information given, it would lessen the importance of our giving it to you.)

LaMar: I made the statement the other night at our board meeting that I thought
this information that we are getting along with the Laws, Principles, Archangels, etc., is
the center of this entire teaching.

Sheariam: That is correct. That is why this information has been structured in
this way. You have from other sources similar and equally important information
which has started from the need of man to understand himself. And it is of course
necessary to start with the tools at hand. We are attempting to give you another
viewpoint coming from another direction, inside out, so to speak, rather than the
outside in, which is the way most of you live.

Peggy: What’s a good way to start meditation for the pyramids? I go up against a
blank wall. (We have an original meditation to get you started. It would be well to
review those instructions, and follow them to the letter. Also, at a time previously,
we gave you a meditation of the three-sided pyramid. It would do you well to review
and practice that meditation.)

LaMar: You refer to the one where the shoulders and the point of the chin were the
three? (Yes.) I have more success with that than I do going to the others. (Continue
working with it, but do not completely abandon the others.)

Sheariam: Are you ready then for your evening meditation?
Make yourselves comfortable. Align your head atop your spine. Breathe a
number of times deeply to help your body relax.
Now it has been some time since we practiced the manufacture of energy
with our palms. Place your palms a short distance apart and begin to build the ball
of energy as you have been taught. Look into that space between your palms and see
the blues and the greens of the energy ball as it forms.
As the ball grows larger, allow your hands to grow apart until you have a
ball of energy about eight to ten inches in diameter. Then flatten your hands and
blow that ball of energy into the center of your midst. As your life-giving breath
gives impetus to the balls of energy, all of them come together in the center of the
room, and like solid objects falling into a pond of water, they make a fountain of
splash rise.
Visualize that fountain, the blues and the greens, the waters rising and
splashing. As the waters rise, feel that triangular space in the crown of your skull
begin to open. Allow this energy fountain to splash some of itself into that opening.
As the energy passes through that opening, it moves down through your head into
the top of your spine, down through your spine, and from there transmits itself
throughout your body.
Simply let it flow in your head, through your body, and out your toes and
fingers to mingle again with the pool of energy in the center. Be bathed in that
healing energy. Be warmed by the Divine Love it represents. Be filled with the
Divine Fire it represents.
Now, because this is the Divine Energy in circulation, you may ask whatever
question you may hold in your consciousness. As this Divine Energy passes through
your head, it will stimulate within you the answer. As healing comes, so do the
answers. As the answers come, so does the healing.
If there is irritation, nerve ends are soothed, washed clean, anointed. Where
there is fear, confidence is established. Where there is pain, calm is granted. Your
whole body feels washed and peaceful.
Now into this healing, blessed realm of experience, invite those about whom
you have concern. (Names softly spoken.) As your loved ones come to join you in
consciousness, visualize the fountain rising higher and higher so that the healing
waters of peace extend beyond this room to your city, to your nation, throughout
your planet. As you visualize this, you also affect the Realm of Spirit. Allow the
waters to rise even to the limitless space.
Now allow the crown of your head to close, holding within yourselves the
blessedness of the healing. Let the fountain dissipate into the ethers, carrying its
blessing wherever consciousness calls. Release your loved ones to return to
themselves.
I extend to you my blessing of love and peace until we meet again. And so I
return to myself. Good Night.

Closed with “Let there be peace on earth.”
