Session #47 – April 6, 1985
Gloria’s Circle
Present: Myra Perala, Eileen Horton, Bonnie Wisz, Peggy Muldoon, Jean
Chisholm, LaMar and Retamae Bell, Richard and Mary White, Owen and
Maxine Cramer
(Opened singing “Open my eyes…” and then when no entity came through we followed
by one chorus of “Hallelujah”)
Sheariam: Good evening, students and friends. And so we come once again to
talk of things of the spirit and of the mind. We listened with interest to your
questions, and as we came near you during the interim since last we met, we found
such puzzlement. Thus we will not push forward with the lessons until there is more
comprehension and understanding.
As in the beginning of your lessons, some of the transitions from your daily
thinking into the thinking necessary to understand that which we teach were
difficult for you. Again you come to that point where transition must be made. But it
is such an important transition, for we speak now of the very roots of life as you
understand it.
It is in the process that goes forth in the Realm of Spirit that we find the
beginning vortices of energy which deliver life as you know it into your condition.
Throughout the world all of your religious disciplines have similar stories describing
this emanation. In the holy scriptures of the Jews and the Christians you have the
story that God has made man “in his image”. And this is true in one respect, and
untrue in another.
Your English language does not lend itself well to the describing of what
transpires in the Realm of Spirit. Some of the Tibetan languages, the Asiatic
languages, the ancient Grecian languages, and Egyptian languages have this story in
much more clarity than we can deliver to you through the use of English.
Firstly and probably most importantly, God is not “he” or “she”, nor a lone
“it”, but all of these things. The Adam Kadmon of which we spoke is a creative force
without gender but containing the potentiality of any number of sexes. In your
condition, you have many more than the two. Man exhibits the division known as
male and female, but there are other life forms in the Realm of Self which have
other sexes that cannot be categorized as either male or female. In the Realm of
Spirit, as Adam Kadmon conceptualizes the world in which he wishes to objectify
himself, all that you know as individuality is not yet individualized in the Realm of
Spirit. Through “Number, Sound and Function” it becomes individualized in the
Realm of Mind. As given previously, these three English words do not truly convey
the Ideation which they are used to represent.
We chose the word “number” for it nearly or most nearly represents order of
a particular kind out of which grows your science of mathematics. It is this formula
of numbers which permits the geometry of growth which you enjoy in the physical
body, in the mental body and all your other bodies.
The formula of “sound” is a formula of power. Thus you have in your holy
scriptures that puzzling thought that the “word of God was made flesh”. The three
formulae, “Number, Sound, and Function”, are the essential building blocks of
earthly life. Not only earth in this solar system, but in all planets in similar
condition. Adam Kadmon is not only the parent of your earth, but of all earths.
It would be well if we should discuss those questions in your minds before we
go forward with the continuing creation of your condition.
Bonnie: Why does Adam Kadmon have a name? (It is not a name insomuch as it
is a “Sound”, a “Number”, and a “Function”. We admonish you to examine the
name in the light of the meaning of sounds which we have given you if you would
truly understand the parental nature of this beingness.)
Owen: You mention that it is not only a sound, but a number and a function. How
is he a number? (As he represents orderliness, a certain portion of order. Again we
struggle with your language. All must relate to all else. There is no such thing as
random order. There is only purposeful order. In all order the numerical evidence is
found.)
I wondered why “sound” had been selected instead of some other concept of
energy such as electromagnetic energy or some other wave form of energy. Sound seems
rather limiting. (Rather the others are what is limiting. We chose the word “Sound”
because it represents a force which demands a response. It cannot be ignored. It is
as though an entity, God, speaks, and the sound causes arrangements of the
particles we have called “ERTs”. As ERTs arrange themselves, they emit sound.)
You are speaking of “sound” as a function of physical things in vibration. (That,
too.) We were taught in physics that sound can exist only where there is a physical
medium through which it may pass, because you cannot get sound through a vacuum. It
sounded as though you were equating sound with a thought transmission or thought
energy?
Sheariam: There you are drawing close to what we attempt to convey. What you
call vacuum does not truly exist, for there are many things which occupy that space
you call a vacuum. The sound that you can measure is only a small minute part of
the sound of which we speak when we talk of the “formula Sound”.
You will recall we spoke before of the “Divine Roar”. This is the precedent
for the formula “Sound”, which ultimately becomes the wave notes that you hear in
this condition. Now we use the formula of sound to communicate with each other in
our condition, and to communicate with people in your condition as well. It does not
always manifest as the ring of a telephone bell, for instance.
Owen: Then the emission of vibration or energy from any physical thing that is
say heated to the point where it gives off light, or gives off other radiation -- would this
also be considered in the category of “sound”? (Yes.) O.K. So then it does include
electromagnetic radiation also? (Yes.) But had we chosen a word such as
“electromagnetic”, it would have eliminated sound as a part.)
Could you substitute the word “energy”? (No. What you consider energy, again,
is a diminutive part of the overall field.)
Richard: Would the term “wave propagation” be appropriate? (That is part of the
sound formula, but not the whole concept.)
Eileen: I’m having a little trouble with what you said: “God speaks”.
Sheariam: God, not being a person, does not actually “speak”. But in your holy
scripture you are told that God said, “Let there be light”. You are also told that the
Word is made flesh”. This is a clumsy attempt to present these “pieces” of
information, for lack of better words. Remember that in the very beginning, as The
Absolute objectifies Itself from what you might call “dead center”, motion is born
and does not cease until it returns to that point of equilibrium within The Absolute.
Again language deceives, for you are within The Absolute. All realms are
nested within each other, as a Chinese puzzle, perhaps. What you know of as solar
system, planetary life, galactic existence, space, all lie within The Absolute and
within all of the other realms. Thus it is that you have an innate inclination to reach
outward toward your god as you try to reach toward your roots instinctively
knowing from whence you came.
Owen: One more question on “sound”. Is it correct that anything in motion gives
off sound? (Yes.)
Myra: Actually even a plant growing. (Yes.)
Owen: A different kind of sound. The atoms are in motion, and the particles
within the atoms are in motion, and are all giving off sound. The individual cell in a plant
is in motion. It is alive and is giving off a different sound. (Sheariam nods approval.)
Eileen: And our human hearing can only take in certain sounds. Animals can hear
sounds we can’t. (And as you extend that thought beyond the limits of animal ears,
beyond the limits of plant life, beyond the limits of planetary life, you move into the
sound of the realms. Space is filled with sound. (Comments indicating extending
concept of sound to all realms.)
Myra:I was looking at the formula for sound: Creative Mind, Quality and
Consciousness. Sound is composed of those three aspects? (Not solely. Those are the
three Components which comprise the greater proportion of motion in the Sound
Formula.) And this “Creative Mind” – I keep thinking of the bread recipe you gave us
without proportions. But in order for there to be sound we need to have Creative Mind,
Quality and Consciousness. (You cannot speak unless your Creative Mind functions.)
Quality – would this be like timbre, hue, and all the different terms we were
talking about that make up music, for instance? How does Quality relate to Sound?
Sheariam: Quality is that Component of life which enables you to determine
these things, such as pitch. Again we struggle with language difficulties, but you
may recall in an earlier lesson, when first discussing the Nine Components, that
Quality is a level or condition of beingness. It is life or livingness of a certain
condition which then can be quantified. You are the Quality “human”. But with
Consciousness you can quantify your humanness, or increase, or diminish
depending upon how you function with order (number) and sound.
Perhaps this is a good time to clarify another puzzlement. We use the word
“Consciousness” in two different ways. As we speak of the consciousness that a
human Quality has, we speak of the awareness which you experience. When we
speak of Consciousness as one of the Nine Components, we are speaking of the
capacity to bring together various things into focus. You might say “knowledge”.
But you see in some realms, knowledge is not yet born, but Consciousness exists.
The capacity to unite or to direct or to focus is present, but without Consciousness,
Volition would have no control.
Now the Volition, the word we have chosen in the Nine Components, is the
capacity to act. It is not the “will” as spoken of in the Law of I Will. You can will to
do and not to do. And you can do without willing to do.
Myra: So that when you do without willing to do, that still is Volition because
you have the capacity to do it. (Correct, and the Consciousness.) (Comments about the
reasons for difficulty with the concepts: our language, our minds) (It is a western
consciousness which causes such difficulties. Other languages have words to connote
these things we would convey.) Perhaps if you would give us a word or make up a word
that would... (We tried that with you, and it was unsuccessful.)
I looked up Adam Kadmon in “The Secret Teachings of All Ages”, and there was
a picture of him. (Do not be misled by that. That is one rendering by a human
intellect looking from the human side upward. You see, if you were Buddhist, I
could speak to you of the Adi-Buddha (Primordial Buddha), and the Dhyani
Buddhas (emanations of the Primordial Buddha) and describe creation with ease.
We could talk of the seven rays of the Gnostics.)
Richard: We are a deprived group. (We are trying to remedy that situation.)
Myra: So would you recommend that we read about the seven rays of the
Gnostics? (Anything that you can read is going to increase your understanding of
that which we teach, if you will do the necessary synthesis.) Last week Karansa told us
that we should study the ancient mystery schools’ teachings. My husband found a book
about ancient religions. So you would recommend that we study about these ancient
religions? (If you were to study the religions of the world and do an adequate
comparison, what we are trying to deliver would be quite clear. But keep in mind
that these religions have evolved from the minds of men in your condition who have
extrapolated from their experience.)
Owen: What you’re saying is that their interpretation has inadequacies in it also.
(As earlier asked some meetings ago about the Cabala, it is incomplete because it is
devised of man.) The thought occurred to me that if there are words in other languages
that describe more adequately the concepts, I wondered if those words might be
introduced here. (Would we not have to define them in terms of your English? )
They’d have to be defined, and we’d have to learn the definitions so that we would know
what was meant, but in the long run, that might simplify, rather than using English words
that have meanings that are quite a bit different between the thought conveyed and the
thought you’re using them to convey. (Go back to early lessons where we spoke of the
“nousphere”. We tried then, unsuccessfully, and consequently chose to take this
method.) (Ed. Note: Nousphere was described as the realm of noumena or unknowable
potential, vs. phenomena or experiential/describable world.)
LaMar: Going back to what you were saying about sound and our hearing, we are
so constructed that we apparently cannot hear all of these sounds, otherwise they would
be so confusing. Does this same thing apply to our eyesight? (Yes.) In other words, there
are many things including the people on the other side of the veil that we could see if we
were capable of seeing them? (Yes.)
Myra: Can some people see them? (Yes.) Can you be trained or learn how to see
them? (If you have the capacity. It simply takes development.)
LaMar: Those people on the other side of the veil can see us? (If they should care
to.)
Myra: But it doesn’t automatically happen then? (Think in terms of your own
chronological age. As you grow from childhood into your teens, your interest focus
changes, and you no longer see the things of your childhood. So it is when you
transition. If you have grown as you are intended to grow, you do not look back, you
look to the future.)
Peggy; By looking back, we hold ourselves back, too, don’t we? (As a teenager
who plays with dolls would hold back the mental and emotional development.)
Myra: So there’s really not much point in encouraging a person on the other side
of the veil to see people in this realm? (We firmly discourage such practice.)
LaMar: Would those people who have just recently passed over tend, at least for a
short time, to try to see back into this realm? (Affectional ties are very strong. Death
does not sever those ties.)
Peggy: Is that what they call “earth-bound”? (No.)
Bonnie: For how long do those affectional ties last? (According to the
individual’s need. That is why you, in your condition, have been told you should
pray for the dead. Even as you would send loving thought to a child you had sent
away to school, or a loving parent who is away on a trip, your thoughts of your
departed ones should be those of love and encouragement, to move on into their
fulfillment.)
Owen: At some time tonight could we ask question about the material given us a
week ago. (Now, if you wish.) A small item – she spoke of, I think, “spacial ice storms”.
Is that comets hitting the earth? We are told that some comets are made of ice. Is that the
kind of thing she was speaking of? (No. There is even now forming several ice systems
in space. Even as your satellite pictures give you pictures of the formations of your
weather, and you can tell when a weather system is moving over a particular
portion of your globe, we can see these “spacial weather patterns”. Your planet is
likely to be visited by these ice storms.)
Would this be in the form of large chunks of ice, so large that they don’t burn up
as they enter the atmosphere, or vaporize? (You are utilizing your training about
weather systems within your atmosphere. Suffice it to say that your atmosphere will
be sufficiently deranged that an ice storm could suddenly coat a certain portion of
the surface of your globe with an ice cap.) Is this the phenomenon that resulted in the
ice ages before? (In what you term “ice age”, yes. Some of your surmises as to what
occurred are incorrect, and some of your timing is off.)
We wondered also about the general impression at the temple on the success or
importance of the open meeting last Saturday. Is this something you feel should be
continued, and if so, is every three months adequate, and do you have any suggestions on
what we might do differently?
Sheariam: Certainly, a meeting such as held is advantageous in drawing interest.
The importance is that the material be studied by intelligent people. We would
encourage more intense study of the material given, if you truly would function as
disseminators.
Owen: As you are probably aware, we were speaking amongst ourselves on how
we should handle the material, and how we can go forward to disseminate it. Do you
have some specific suggestions there, or is this just all our baby? (We would suggest
that you develop a workbook that will then be publishable. As you work with the
material, such an instrument will naturally evolve as we assist you. And there will be
a publisher who will be interested.)
Peggy: What about the work class? (All the classes should work. We encourage
that the material be studied. As you have been given, when you study together, you
increase the power. You increase your understanding.
Retamae: Sheariam, should these be large groups, or should they be smaller, more
group? (A small group of four to six people can accomplish more than a group of
fifteen to twenty. But it is also advantageous to fellowship to have small groups join
each other and share that which they have extracted from the material by way of
knowledge and understanding.) Also you were talking about the workbook. Could
these be used then by different people in our group to teach or have study groups? (Most
certainly so.)
Owen: I wondered as a result of some of the things that Karansa mentioned, and
that you have mentioned, that most of this material we are receiving from you is available
if we should choose to dig it out. But I gather that a lot of it has been obscured by
misinterpretation so that it is only somewhat available to us. We may not understand it.
(Not all is available. We are filling in the crevices. In the past, as there have
been recordings and then destruction of those recordings, some of the knowledge
has fallen away. It is not solely corruption which has obscured the knowledge.)
I guess what I had wondered, in publishing to make this information available to
others, to what extent are we duplicating other efforts, or to what extent would we really
be putting out information that just plain is not otherwise available? (That is an
extremely difficult question to answer. Are you asking what percentage of world
literature this would represent?)
There seems to be more and more books coming out from various authors who
have varying access to the information you are presenting. The Jane Roberts material
came, I suppose, from the Spirit-Physical. Other authors have been given dictation
directly from your condition. The “Course in Miracles” is another example. Then there is
the book “Initiation” by Elizabeth Haich. And there is Ruth Montgomery and a lot of
others that I don’t know. The question seemed to me, that with all this other information
available, how unique is the information we have? It would be delightful, I was thinking,
to be able to say that in this material that we’re making available to other people, we have
information that is not available elsewhere. (You do. I might ask you, if all this is
available to you, then what do you hear?)
Well, what I hear is all new to me, partly or mainly because I haven’t chosen to
dig it out elsewhere because I didn’t know where to dig. (There also, you partially
answer your own question.) I know it is very satisfying to me because we have a source
here that is direct, is not distorted by human limitations and partial human
understandings, and so on, and to me that is very satisfying. (Limited only by language.)
Well, it’s still limited by our comprehension, but it doesn’t go through a few other human
distortions before we get it. That’s great.
Myra: Is this material that you’re giving us also found in Rosicrucian teachings?
(Yes, but not all.) And the same way for the “Course in Miracles” (And the Cabala,
and your bible, and all of the other occult publications you have.
LaMar: There have been times in the past when I have read things such as have we
been talking about here recently, books that have been written by people who were taking
information from the other side. I have often wondered how authentic that is. Can the
people who are getting that material count on the fact that what they are getting is being
given by someone who really knows what they are talking about? Are there people or
entities on the other side who simply want to give out information, to communicate, who
are giving information that is really not true? (As given before, people who transition
are still people. There are as many frustrated writers on this side as on your side.)
Eileen: Is it possible they are telling the truth as they see it? (Quite often this is
so. This is why you must practice the art of discernment. We do not ask you to
swallow whole what we give. We ask that you study, that you try to comprehend.
When we give you exercises, we hope you will work with them and use them as they
are valuable to you. If they are not valuable, if we do not serve you, then we are all
wasting our energies.)
Richard: I appreciate your candidness.
Owen: Another concept that Karansa talked about was entry into the last phase of
human existence of the human condition. (For this wave.) Now what do you mean by
“wave”?
Sheariam: There are cycles of activity and inactivity in all realms. The motion is
constant but not steady, or steady but not constant. Everything phases in and out,
and so there will be waves of civilization on your planet. This latter 4,000 years now
reaching a conclusion is the establishment of the human condition as an integrated
whole which you look at as the Age of Brotherhood or the New Jerusalem.
Your holy scriptures tell you that with the establishment of the New
Jerusalem, that will consist of eternity, or eternity will consist of that. That is not
true. At the end of the phase, another phase begins. But as those entities which have
reincarnationally participated in this 4,000-year phase move on to whatever lies in
store for them, others will come in to participate in the ensuing phases. Now 4,000
years is not the only increment, but it would not serve us well to get into the details
of these formulae for the development of “Life Quality”. You are involved in the
development of the “Human Quality”.
Owen: These 4,000-year waves or cycles, does this apply more to the human race
in the physical, more as a whole group, or is this an individual thing? (This particular
order or number formula applies to life on planets such as planet earth.) It is a
function of the planet? (Of the condition.)
I gathered from what Karansa said, that the final 400 years would start about the
turn of the century, but that getting into it would be physically a very difficult time, and
the 400 years itself would be very difficult. The implication was that there would not be
very many people here to participate. This means, well, I suppose the population can
grow tremendously in 400 years, but it seemed to me that there are a lot of the human
race who will not participate in this final phase.
Sheariam: Reincarnationally they will. The population as it exists enhoused in
these physical bodies on the planet earth may have to reincarnate. If the Human
Quality has sufficiently developed its resources to make the transition through what
you call the Armageddon, then there will be no loss of knowledge or loss of
Consciousness.
But there are these points in each of the phases at which the cycle can be
interrupted. If the Human Quality does not function in accordance with the Divine
Intention, then the Consciousness will go out of phase. I can’t find other words. In
human experience this means loss of life on your planet, and the remnant on some
little portion of the globe will start over, beginning a new cycle. Depending upon the
Quality of Humanness developed, that remnant could enter a developmental phase
advanced from an absolute primitive beginning. If the Human Quality fails, then the
potential is that Life would have to begin in the primordial ooze as it began millions
of years ago.
Owen: Human life here in the physical is only a portion of our existence. It would
be only this portion of our existence that we would be deprived of. The entities go on to
other experiences elsewhere, would they not? (But possibly not in the condition of
Earth-Physical. You overlook the fact that the planet is also a product of Soul. You
see, we are getting ahead of our lessons.)
Richard: It is the product of our doing. We and the planet are so intertwined that if
we lost our physical home, we might have to wait until it was ready to receive us again.
And our development would also wait. Is that right? (Yes. Very good.) So it’s not as
though we could just step aside and say, “We’ll find another habitat while this one’s
mending itself. This is us, and we are part of it, and we suffer as a result. (Yes.) We have
found the enemy, and we is it.)
Owen: She did say that the physical state of the earth is very closely related to the
consciousness of man. From this I had wondered, does this mean the entire earth, or can
you subdivide it? If a portion of the earth is occupied by persons of very high level
consciousness, would that portion of the earth also be subjected to physical change as
other parts are, or would it be differentiated between the consciousness and the locality?
(Again we surge ahead. But the planet is a single entity. Can your arm live without
the rest of you?)
This means that there probably are no safe areas. (In the ultimate, that is true.
But again, it depends upon the human Quality developed.)
Eileen: In every community there are those of high consciousness and awareness
and those who are not. Would it be a balance as to which direction we would go because
of the balancing out of the good and evil, or whatever you want to call it? (That is an
approximation of what is to be.)
LaMar: Is the interpretation that Owen gave, that it would seem from what
Karansa said, that the next 400 years would be starting about the turn of the century. Is
that correct? (That is correct.) The turn of the century is only sixteen years away. (The
next seven years will be the most perilous of the transition. You have been in this
transition for the last fifteen years.)
Richard: We can make a difference, just we here? (Yes, you can.) That is what this
whole thing is all about. It’s about time we got the point.
Myra: That’s the hardest part – to keep that concentration and keep that desire in
the forefront of our minds.
Retamae: What’s the alternative?
Myra: We have to see the urgency of it. (Certain portions of your globe
already are experiencing the perils.)
Owen: Are you speaking of the drought? (For one thing, yes.) (Comments on
other physical and political problems.) This is all part of the same picture. It depends
upon the Quality of Humanness.)
Eileen: There are so many innocent victims. (But that results from what the
Human Quality has done with itself.)
Owen: We look at some of the things that are going on, like the condition in
Nicaragua and various other places, what appears to be very disruptive activities that our
government appears to be participating in, if you look at that and you think you should
get involved in some way to let your voice be heard on the side that you think is right.
But Karansa said that it is better to be cool and detached than negative and hostile. And
you said that the work that this little group does by itself has a tremendous effect. Now in
trying to counteract what is going on in Nicaragua, is our most effective approach to
concentrate on love and peace quietly among ourselves or within the group rather than
directing verbal messages to our congress, etc.? (The more words of criticism you utter
or write, the more power you give the destructive voices. Resist not evil.)
Myra: But if you are apathetic, you would do the same thing. (You would be
assisting.)
Owen:But if you were apathetic, you wouldn’t be sending out love. (You have
Consciousness and you have Volition and you have Creative Mind. You have Force.
You have Quantity. Do not waste it.)
Peggy: Summing up the peace thoughts for the world, “Let it begin with me.”
(Every word of criticism diminishes your Quantity.)
Myra: When we encourage and build up the positive, we’re working against the
forces of destruction. (And increasing your Quantity.)
Richard: What does this net out to. What specifically should we be doing in a
positive way, in a constructive way? (Silverthistle has given you the perfect “Eight
Keys”.)
RetaMae: We have to practice what we’re preaching, don’t we?
Owen: And in order to bring those more to bear on our own personal lives, and to
convey those thoughts to another, that means individual work, group work, editorial
publication work, and it starts with the individual.
Peggy: And our group would be an example for others.
Maxine: Would it help if we had a supply of books sent into another state, even if
they were to be left in somebody’s house at the moment? Would that be a good idea in
order to get them out and not just in one place? (The books themselves do not have
power. It is the power of the mind that makes the difference. Putting the books
physically here and there will not serve. If you put them where they will be read,
then you will be exercising the power of the mind.) Well my thought is that there are
an awful lot of them stacked in our basement, and that isn’t helping anyone. It seems to
me that even if we were to send them out by a hundred or two hundred to some other
state in the union, and then let the group disseminate them from there. (Comments that it
would have to be the right group. You’d have to sell them first. Etc.)
RetaMae: Are we wrong in thinking that we need to sell these books because we
want to make money – our capitalistic system? Are we interpreting this wrong? Are we
doing something that we’re not supposed to here by selling at such a high price? Is this
something that we’re to give out rather than try to make money on? (We cannot make
that decision for you.)
Maxine: Oftentimes if it is given to them, they’ll take it and put it down. Where if
they pay for it, they’ll look at it to see what they’ve given their money for. (That is a
valid point.)
Myra: But they have to know about it before they want it. I think we need to
advertise it better.
Richard: Price is not that important. Interest is the important thing.
Owen: You mentioned that a publisher would come forth for this workbook. It
would seem to me that if a publisher comes forth, this implies that he would have a plan
of publicity. The word would be out, and many, many more people would hear about it.
This, then, would tend to lead directly to more demand for the book we already have, the
“Eight Keys”. (That is correct.)
Peggy: As it reaches the people that it needs to reach. Isn’t that so? (Is that not
the mantra and the affirmation?) With this workbook, if we would put out an idea that
when it goes out it will reach only those who read it and will use it and pass it on.
Myra: Sheariam, I had a question, to change the subject a little bit. Long ago, in
our early sessions, we spoke about saying our names. And at that time, it seems to me
that you told us that we should do that, like “I’m Myra and I’d like to ask a question”. Is
that something that we should be doing now?
(Yes, you should. As you open each session, you should each speak your
name. This sets in motion forces which you do not yet comprehend, but would
increase the power of the work that this group does. We cannot be all things to you.
You have certain responsibilities. We guide. We request. We suggest. But we cannot
demand.)
So, as we say our names, it’s more for the vibratory energy of the evening rather
than for your benefit? (Yes.)
Another question. Do you think of us? I remember the answer was that you think
of us as centers of energy rather than as a person with a name. Is this right? (That is true.
You are much more than “Myra”.)
Eileen: Then you have come to recognize us as individuals, each one? (Probably
before you did.) (Laughter.)
Myra: Do you follow us during our two-week intervals? Do you follow us and
come into our homes and see what we’re doing? (We do not monitor you, but there are
thought forms that attract our attention.)
Peggy: Speaking our names. Does that make any difference? (Of course. That
would be similar to your dialing someone’s telephone number.)
Myra: That’s why we need to say “Khamael” and “Gabriel”, too. The same idea.
(Yes.)
Eileen: As we sit here in a group contacting you, are you in a group over there?
(Yes.)
Myra: Who’s there? (Other teachers from the temple, healers, interested
parties.)
Maxine: It would be interesting to see a little picture.
Owen: I had another question about a concept that Karansa spoke of. She spoke
about the “redemption of mankind into his spiritual inheritance”. I don’t know if it would
take a whole session to simplify that concept or not. (That is the end of this phase of
integration. This is the transition of which we speak. If you have quantified your
Quality sufficiently to make the transition through this perilous time, preserve the
planet, and complete the 400 years of this cycle, then you will have been redeemed
from this condition, and can go on to something else rather than remaining to do it
all over again.)
Richard: There’s our chance.
Myra: I had thought about Owen’s question. When you mentioned that this
whole planet could be destroyed in this holocaust during the next seven years, then the
people on the other side, in the Spirit-Physical Realm, are in as dire danger as the rest of
us then. (Why do you think we come with such earnestness and yearning.) It just hit
me.
Richard: This will affect you? (Of course.)
Bonnie: Then why would there be people in your realm that would want the
opposite? (Because the powers of destruction extend far beyond the Realm of the
Physical or the Realm of the Self.)
Myra: Is this what some people call the Devil? (Yes. Again we surge ahead of
our lessons.)
Richard: Then the responsibility for this upheaval that seems to be coming is not
solely ours? (No.) You share this? (Yes.) Because there are forces among your number
also that have been going in a negative direction? (Correct.) Oh boy! We’re all in this.
(How many times have we said to you, “You are not alone”?) We didn’t grasp the
importance, the dire necessity, the reason.
Owen: Are there special efforts also going on in your realm? (Oh yes.)
Myra: I keep thinking there has to be hope that we can do something to make it
happen.
Richard: It’s not an either/or situation. It’s what shade of gray can we achieve, or
what shade of lightness. How much darkness can we dispel. How much enlightenment
can we achieve, as I see it. (That is correct.) The more we can do the more effect we’ll
have. And the sooner the better. And it will be easier to achieve it this year than the next.
As time goes by, more effort will be required to achieve the same results to the point
where we may be ineffective.
Eileen: I have read where there are other realms, entities from other realms, that
are really rallying to help us at this time. (That is correct. It is not just your plane that
is at stake.)
Richard: What do you mean by that? We know other planets, but not as habitable
spheres. (Other solar systems have earths, and this condition that you know as
“Life” exists there also. This is not an isolated incident. This is not one cell that has
gone awry. This is an organism disease, if we can put it that way.)
Owen: They are in the same point in the same cycle that we’re in? (Yes.)
Eileen: But then aren’t there others that are more advanced and much more able to
face this than we are? (They are assisting to what degree they can. But again,
remember, there are certain responsibilities which cannot be usurped. You have a
job to do.)
Maxine: And the job begins with one’s self first? Is that right? (Correct. The song
you sing; “Let peace begin with me”, is the only way you are going to resolve this
huge problem.)
Peggy: Knowing that we can do it, then we will.
Owen: Well there are, I think as Eileen mentioned, other conditions or other life
systems that are not involved in this particular cycle. Are they in different cycles or in
different stages? (That is true. There are worlds within worlds within worlds. Space
as you know it, does not exist. Space exists, but not as you know it. And so there are
systems of Function, Number and Sound which are not affected. But in your
physical universe you would believe they occupy the same space that you occupy.)
Myra: But would they not be affected if there is a holocaust? (They are not
physical so they would not be affected.)
Richard: You are physical. (Yes.) That’s where the difference is.
Eileen: Now if you were destroyed in the Spirit-Physical, then would you go on to
a different realm or a different life? (If our condition is destroyed, as your condition is
destroyed, we might be obliged to wait until reconstruction had occurred.)
Myra: Yet you told us that life cannot be eliminated. (Life itself cannot be.) But
it can be delayed? (Living in a particular condition can be delayed.)
Eileen: But how about individuality. Is that always so? (That can be lost under
certain conditions, individuality as you understand it. Not the Adam Kadmon. The
ego and the self can be lost, yes.)
Owen: The Soul Body? (Not at this time.)
Maxine: Would there be any reason to move to another place on earth, thinking that
would be safer than where we are at this moment? (No, because you would be taking
that consciousness with you. If your consciousness is to bring you destruction, your
destruction will find you wherever your consciousness exists.)
Myra: And if you’re fearful, it’s coming.
Peggy: Your fear brings it right to you.
Maxine: This Gerald Jampolsky wrote the book “Love Is Letting Go Of Fear”, and
I keep thinking that this is a message that we could spread out to the world. Because we
could be so terrified, we’d be immobilized. So if we love, we aren’t going to be afraid.
LaMar: There is a conflict between these two things that I don’t quite get. We
were talking about the fact that if our consciousness is such that we are supposed to go,
then our demise will find us. Now you say, if you fear. Is your consciousness and your
fear the same thing? (Consciousness encompasses fear, encompasses love. )
(Discussion about simultaneous fear and love.)
Myra: It seems to me that if you fear for those you love, your consciousness of
fear is going to harm the person you love. (That is true.) But if you love to the point
where you surround them with support and joy and uplift… (Do not forget your
ultimate Law of Relinquishment.) That’s really loving.
Sheariam: The time draws on. Let us settle for our meditation. (Many expressions
of appreciation for the explanations.)
As you settle your bodies, find that center of focus within yourself, wherein
you know “I AM”. In that center you know you are not your body. You are not your
mind nor the thoughts of your mind. You are not your emotions or the feelings of
your emotions.
In the next few moments, as you breathe in, think “I AM”. And then release
your breath. On the next breath, “I AM”….
Now as you build that consciousness within, the power of that awareness
draws to you the other subtle bodies. As your extension becomes more vibrant, you
begin to glow from that center of “I AM”. The light of your beingness joins the
lights of all the others.
Now from that center of the “I AM”, imagine going forth from your solar
plexus a ray of vibrant light that is your love of life itself. As you love life, you know
from that “I AM” center, that love and light is not dependent upon the physical
manifestation, nor on the subtle manifestations, but indeed only dependent upon the
Divine “I AM”.
So in that calm center of “I AM” from which issues the love of life, there can
be no presence of fear. There can only be the certainty of Divinity. Regardless of
what may occur in the condition of the physical, or any of the other conditions
appertaining to the physical, the “I AM” is eternal.
Now with this certainty of eternal life carried on the wave of your love and
the vibrancy of your feeling, invite your loved ones to join you in this realization.
Where love abides there is perfect health. Let that feeling of loving life move
throughout your physical organism. All cells respond to love. And the order of love
is established with your being. And in that orderliness, you can only be healthy,
prosperous and happy.
Within the fullness of love, release your loved ones to themselves. Bless them
as they return to themselves. And now spend a moment, blessing your own body
from head to toe. Bless your life from its innermost parts to its outermost extensions.
With this blessing there arises within your heart a sense of gratitude for the Divine
Plan that enables you to be. Give a thought of thanks to your Higher Self, to your
Guides and Ministers and Teachers who serve you silently and faithfully at all
times.
And now I extend my blessing to you that you shall go in peace, and as you
go in peace, those with whom you meet go in peace. And as the message spreads, so
you do what you are supposed to be doing, and all of mankind benefits, and the
planet on which you live. I give you my love and blessings, and bid you good night.
Many “good nights” and expressions of appreciation. Closed with “Let there be peace on
earth.)
