Session #50 – May 18, 1985
Gloria’s Circle

Present: LaMar and RetaMae Bell, Richard and Mary White, Owen and Maxine
Cramer, Eileen Horton, Ida Nevala, Bonnie Wisz, Myra Perala, Jean
Chisholm, Sidney Smither

Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. It was a great pleasure to hear
your singing, and perhaps you will notice there is something different in our voice
tonight. If you will recall, we gave you some time ago that we were training our
channel in order to facilitate communication, part of which is strengthening the
connection. (Voice much smoother than in the past). During most recent days, we have
spent much time together. There has been much advancement achieved, and
communication should be much more facilitated as is evidenced by the ready
overshadowing (Gloria entrancing) this time. Part of our delaying tactic, if you will,
our cessation in the lessons, is due to this establishing the new connection. As the
time for change arrives, it arrives in many different areas, not solely in one. And as
your group structure is also in a state of flux, so are many other considerations of
which you are unaware, one of which is our connection with the channel.
Silverthistle has been working very closely with the channel as well. It is his
greatest hope that he can make a personal appearance through the channel at the
healing retreat. His last visit to the channel was extremely difficult, and so we have
devised a new means through which to establish connections. If you will bear with
us for a short time more while we perfect this, we will then move onward with the
lessons. But for now we are sure there is plenty to discuss.
We are pleased with your efforts at organizing your studies, for that will
enhance this whole operation. As you study and come to know with more confidence
that which has already been given, you will be receptive to that which is to follow.
As we move in our information closer to your realm of immediate experience, it will
become more important for you to comprehend more thoroughly. As you
understand more about your own condition, you will better be able to use the
powerful information already given you. And so, my friends, I am now at your
disposal to chat, to instruct, to answer questions. Whatever is your will.

(We introduced ourselves around the circle.) (There is great power in that.)

Owen: One question was with respect to the testing of weapons. In an earlier
lesson it was mentioned that this was very destructive, and I was wondering to what
extent the concern is for the actual disintegration of matter, the change that occurs in the
nuclear explosion.

Sheariam: Again we cover material not yet given in answering your question, but
the elementary life which formulates your planetary existence is present among you
in various shapes and forms and intelligences. In this elemental form these beings
are more susceptible to destruction that you are.
In the latest scientific discoveries on the planet, the act of fission literally
destroys life which you cannot see – the life that sustains the mineral kingdom and
the plant kingdom upon which your very existences also depend are destroyed in
something akin to chain reaction. As you know, certain chemical substances get into
your food chain. There is another chain, in fact several other chains, of supportive
systems that go beyond the biological systems. Just as the poison destroys the food
chain, so does nuclear fission destroy these other invisible support systems.

Richard: Sheariam, in your speaking of weapons, does this also hold true for the…
(Your energy production plants. Yes. Where there is nuclear fission there is
destruction of the elemental life on the planet.)
Myra: So we need less of WPPS and Trojan. (You have natural energy sources
which you have been given to use. Do not overlook the power of the mind. If as
much effort were made to harness the power of the mind as has been made to
harness the power of nuclear fission, you would have nothing to fear.)

Richard: What comments do you have about our work toward nuclear fission
energy sources? (When you have harnessed the energy of the mind, you will find that
nuclear fission is like striking a match.)
Maxine: So what we are doing is like striking the match before we develop our
minds, or before we develop the information from our minds? (Yes. Your nuclear
activities are like matches in the hands of a two-year-old.)

Myra: I was reading our notes this last week and came upon the phrase “the astral
realm and the physical realm”, and realized that those were not two of the realms you
mentioned in the Nine Realms. I wondered if you could explain where those two would
fit in with the realms that you have mentioned? (The word “realm”, when used in
connection with the astral and the physical, was used advisedly as a means to convey
a signified area of experience. When using the word “Realms” In connection with
the Nine Realms, that is also our intention, but the astral and the physical are
realms within the Realm of Self.

Owen: Some time ago you advised us that we should review various information
previously given, and among them was mentioned that we had been instructed to use our
entity mantra to discover the identity of our entity. Most of us seem to have conflicting
opinions on what that was, and we didn’t come up with a direct reference on such an
assignment. I’m wondering if we missed the point somewhere. At least I think I did.

Sheariam: There was confusion in the transmission of the concepts. As I recall,
what I said was a reference to previous assignments in which you were to perform
certain exercises in order to become acquainted with your Entity Self, and the
mantras that were connected with your projects. It is true that each entity has a
mantra, but we did not intend for you to delve into that as yet inasmuch as few of
you know who you are.

Bonnie: But if we do?
Myra: Are you saying that each entity has a mantra. We were not to create one?
(You are a personality insofar as your self-awareness is concerned. As you identify
with your entity, the mantra comes from within.)
Jean: You mean we become aware of it? (Yes.) Then we wouldn’t have to
struggle to manufacture it? (No, you do not.)
Bonnie: Well, I thought perhaps I could go and meditate and find out in
meditation.

Sheariam: That is the way. As you commune with Kerathyn, and you begin to
sense how you are a part of that entity, how you act on behalf of that entity, some of
the communication between the entity and the personality is through mantra.
(Kerathyn is Bonnie’s entity.)
(In response to a question from Maxine) Jerome wears the personality Gloria.
Gloria and Jerome are one and the same, but Jerome is more than Gloria is.)

Owen: Would it be possible for Jerome to come through to us as Jerome, and not
as Gloria? (He does when you speak with Gloria.)
Myra: Oh, that’s why she’s so smart. (But all of you are entities. That is true of
all of you.)
Bonnie: Could that also be one of the things, that when people see you in a certain
light, you don’t really see yourself in that way? Would that be part of that? (Yes.)
Myra: That’s true even though we’re unconscious of our entity. Our entity is
always coming through us? (Indeed so.)
Maxine: How did you say we become acquainted with our entity so we know who
it is. Did you say?
Myra: Through meditation.

Sheariam: Not always. Meditation is the way the personality may initiate the
contact. At a certain stage of consciousness in the life, the entity may make itself
known to the personality through a dream, through a regression experience, or
through meditation. That is initiated by the entity, but only when the personality
has opened itself to be receptive to that contact.

Myra: Another reason why you urge us to be porous? (Yes.)

LaMar: This is leaving me curious. I mentioned at one time when we were first
making mantras that this mantra had been given me so clearly. I’m wondering if that is
my entity mantra that was given at that time. (Have you worked with the mantra?) Not
as much as I should have. Some, yes. (Give it a try. See if it does not make a
connection for you.)

Myra: And the best way to do that is to start with Khamael, Gabriel, and then the
mantra? (No. When you are invoking the archangels, you are awakening those
aspects of The Absolute within yourself, those aspects with which you have been
endowed. The entity also has these endowments. If you are attempting to make the
acquaintance of a neighbor, for instance, you would not go to that neighbor’s front
porch and invoke God. You would knock on the door and say “Hello”. The mantra
is the knock on the door.)

LaMar: In other words, we would say the mantra before invoking? (It is not
necessary to invoke the archangels to commune with your entity. When you invoke
the archangels, you are opening centers. You are pushing switches within yourself.
You are generating power in the way that you would call up courage, for instance.
Now, if you need one of the archangels, for instance Sandalphon, to open the door
for you, then you might do the invocation to open the door, and then use the mantra.
But if you are relaxed, open, and receptive, you would not need to invoke
Sandalphon, for the power would be already generated.)

***Bonnie: Would these power centers have anything to do with our chakras also? I
mean, would they be centered in certain chakras? (If I say “yes”, I mislead you. If I say
“no”, I misinform you.)

Eileen: I have heard the term “oversoul” used. How does this relate to entity, or is
it the same thing? (No, it is not the same thing. If you are speaking of the oversoul as
discussed in Brunton’s books, he is referring to what we call the Ego. You will find
semantics to give you problems. We choose those words in your language which we
feel they best describe what we wish to convey. Much of your literature uses
semantics highly flavored by cultural tradition in the belief that each individual,
which we call “personality”, is a soul separate unto itself. As we have given, you do
not “have a soul”, “a Soul has you.
Now there is an “oversoul” which gives birth to an Ego, many Egos, which in
turn give birth to many selves, entities, if you will. In the Realm of Self, the entity
wears many personalities.

Richard: It’s a hierarchy in itself, then? (Yes.)
Jean: When you say “entity wears many personalities”, are you saying that the
entity plays many roles, or is different people?(“Is different people”, in your
terminology.)
Myra: Would you say that all these different individuals then are “soul-mates”?
(Yes.)
Jean: I have been reading some of Jane Roberts’ Seth material. Is this much like
what Seth is saying? I didn’t understand it too well when I read it. (Seth goes beyond
what we have given, in the multidimensional aspect of which he speaks. We are
moving in the same direction.)
Myra: Would you recommend that we all read those books? (That is a purely
personal choice.)

Owen: We are attempting to concentrate on the meaning of sound. We use the
mantra. We sing to help Gloria enter the trance state, and we obviously use sound a lot.
But at one time we did something that bordered on “toning”, and I think we were
admonished that we were using something we hadn’t been instructed in yet, and to hold
off. Since we are going to be teaching mantras and giving a lot of emphasis to sound in
the handbook we’re trying to put together, I’m wondering if toning has any part in that,
and when we would be receiving instruction in toning.

Sheariam: Toning certainly has a part in this. It’s inappropriate to attempt to
include it in the workbook until you have been taught about the tonal qualities, and
the properties of those qualities. That in itself will be a separate study. What you
attempt now is to get the sounds comprehended, understood, and properly used in
the speaking voice. That does not deny you the opportunity or the privilege of using
melody as a healing tool.
Owen: Is the use of melody closely akin to toning? (Yes.)

Sidney: Assuming that music is representative of truth, as all else is, our major
scale might give us some clues as to our past and future. The sixth scale degree is a
tendency tone whose physical inclination is to resolve to the fifth scale degree. My first
question is: Does this mean if humankind reaches its sixth stage of development that it
will be easier for us to move backwards again rather than to move on to the seventh stage
of development?
Next question: The seventh scale degree is a tendency tone having a very strong
physical inclination to resolve upwards to the tonic tone or one. Therefore, my second
question is: Does this mean that if humankind reaches its seventh stage of development it
is almost assured 4,000 years later moving enmass to the Realm of the Spirit-Physical or
higher and leaving its earthly home forever?
My third multiple question is: How often has humankind reached the sixth level
before? Has it ever reached the seventh level before? And, prior to the alluded “fall from
grace”, was humankind in a different realm?

Sheariam: (Whispering as though consulting) To answer your first question: It
is easier for human consciousness to slide backward than climb forward. To answer
your second question: When a certain level of development is achieved, it is assured
that you will move forward. The third question involves so many complexities.
Would you reiterate one at a time please?

Sidney: Yes. Has humankind reached the sixth stage of development before? (Yes,
several times.) Has humankind ever reached the seventh stage of development before?
(In other portions of this galaxy and in other galaxies, yes.) The last question: Prior to
what has been alluded to as “the fall from grace” was humankind as we know it here in a
different realm? (Of course. That is what we are teaching.) One final question, if I
may. Are my interpretations of these things using the major scale as a point of reference
appropriate? (Yes.)

Maxine: I have a question about a meditation that I had. In my meditation I went to
a stream, and I walked in the stream. It was ankle deep, and I walked up the stream
against the current a short ways, and then I crossed over the bank and sat down and
dipped my hand into the stream. I took a drink from the stream, and then I took my ruby
out of my pocket and held it to my forehead. That was the end. Could you give me an
interpretation of what this represents?

Sheariam: Yes. The stream is representative of the flow of your life at this
moment. As you walk in the stream against the flow, you find that your walking is
impeded, and indeed you are aware of this as a physical reality. But by crossing the
stream you can find repose. Thus the indication is to look to the other side, dipping
your hand into the stream indicates the need to get your hand in, to get back into
doing certain physical things which you have relinquished. As you take your ruby
out of your pocket, you are pulling out those spiritual attributes which you have to
sustain you and teach you, and when you put it on your forehead, you are then in
the act of initiating contact with your guides, with your spiritual resources, with
your higher mind.

Maxine: Could you give me any further help in what I need to do to go further?
(You need to get more involved in the regular activities which you used to enjoy and
which you have relinquished for one reason or another.)

Sidney: If the number representing man is six, what is the significance of the
number 666 that is mentioned in our Book of Revelations? (In the first place, man is
not represented by the number six, but by the number five. Six is the number of the
acts of man. In the 666, the acts of man are tripled, which shows the importance of
the triplicity. It is inappropriate to pursue the occult meaning of the number at this
time.) You haven’t made reference to whether these tripled acts are spontaneous acts or
whether they were guided acts. Does it matter in this reference? (No. It simply means,
the acts taken by man, whether by deliberation or by spontaneity, or by psychic
direction.) The number has taken on some belief on the part of a number of Christian
organizations that the number represents the evil works of the devil working through
individuals. Is there any truth in that, or is that merely representative of one aspect of
that? (That is simply one aspect.)

Myra: You mentioned in Circle #38, I believe it was, that we create our environment by
our actions. (Yes.) Our whole world is made by man’s actions.(That is why man also
has the power to destroy the environment.) When I look at the marvelous trees and the
fabulous vistas that God has created, I wonder if man has made those, too. (Yes he has.
As we move through the realms, you will understand that better. Again, to say that
God made the trees is to respond to the cultural traditions of centuries and centuries
and centuries of systems of belief.)

Richard: We actually should be using the term Adam Kadmon rather than God? (In
that the word, “God” represents that portion of The Absolute which has ultimately
resulted in you, the use of the word “god” is always appropriate. What you should
understand is that Adam Kadmon is the “god” most often spoken of in your bible.)

Myra: That would include the God of Nature then that created the ocean. (Yes.
Now, not the principle. Go back and study your realms. Go back and study.
(Laughter). When you speak of oceans, you think of water that lies on the surface of
your planet. Those oceans were created in the early realms in the Divine Realm, but
what turns out to be ocean here, can be something else on another planet or in
another condition. Go to your Principles. You were given the Laws, the Principles,
and the Attributes.) I didn’t connect those to the world of nature.

RetaMae: They all apply one and the same, don’t they? (Oh, yes.) On this sphere
we’re living and in other outer areas also? It was my understanding when it was given to
us. (They apply in all realms. Yes.)

Richard: Is this a premature time to ask about the term “the fall of man” or “original
sin”? (As has been given before, we will discuss the fall of man in the Realm of
Mind.)

Sidney: There is a great deal of Christian world opinion stating that an anti-Christ
will precede the second coming of the Christ. First, is this true? Second, what does this
mean? And thirdly, what is the second coming of Christ to be? (Again you go too far in
advance of the lessons. We will not answer that at this time.)

Owen: You mentioned that to gain understanding and to gain various other
desirable information, we should develop our openness and porosity and should develop
our ability at meditation. I’ve run into apparently zero results on meditation. I’ve been
trying more often than before, and trying at approximately the same time, first thing in
the morning, but it’s not getting anywhere at all. I’m wondering if you could give me any
suggestions?

Sheariam: Very often the one who feels unable to meditate does not recognize
meditation. There is abroad in your culture today many different definitions of
meditation, recommendations of how it must be done, of what it consists, etc.
Meditation is merely an action of the mind. It is that action during which there is
some perception of knowledge beyond that which had previously occupied the
thoughts. You have participated in meditation any time you get an idea. The
meditation we recommend is one of contemplation. You set aside a quiet time in
which you allow yourself to consider some precept, and when you are through with
that consideration, there should be greater understanding of the precept because
there has been introduction of new information from a higher source.

Owen: Is this the same process through which we become acquainted with our
guides, our Source Group? (Yes, it can be. As you meditate, as you sit quietly, what
you must clear from your mind is your daily concerns. Do not be concerned about
unwashed dishes, unmade beds, or unwritten letters. Purpose yourselves to consider
something of importance, one of the Laws for instance. And ponder, consider,
contemplate, ask. It need not be directed to a specific individual intelligence. You
can make a blanket demand to know. Say to yourself, “Source, I am knocking. I am
asking. I demand to know.” And then allow yourself to be taught by focusing your
attention on that one thing.)

Sidney: Last session I asked a question, and I think in asking I imputed greater
omniscience to you than you may have or desire to have. I would like to rephrase that
question with my intent firmly stated. I asked last time if I should seek a publisher for a
book. My unstated intention was this: that the group is desiring to publish a book. Might
it be of any service to the group in that if I were to undertake that effort? (There is
always that potentiality that any action taken by a member of the group can
ultimately result in a resource for the group if the individual taking the action so
intends. We have not discussed greatly the importance of “intention”. That is
scheduled in due time, but should you undertake such a program with the proper
intention, then you can follow through and achieve the result you desire. This is in
the power of the number six.) Then it might be wise to wait until such time as we have
been instructed in the use of intentions? (You need not delay your actions until that
time.)

Bonnie: Sheariam, I had an experience with my gem. I believe it’s a crystal. I was
walking down the path and took my crystal out. There was a puddle on the right side of
the path. The impression was that I should wash the crystal in the puddle. My conscious
mind said, “That doesn’t seem like a very nice thing to do.” But I did, and it immediately
multiplied and became a red crystal path that wound up in the sky.
So I followed the “yellow brick road”, so to speak, and went to an archway and
opened the door. I went into what would be like a Hollywood set of heaven. It was all
misty and white with no definite room. But there was a bench, like in a steam room. I sat
down. I immediately became very apprehensive and my stomach tightened up. It
appeared that the spirit of my father came to visit with me. We had quite a conversation.
The crux of it was that he wanted me to know that he loved me. We talked about this. I
didn’t realize until then that I’ve never believed that. He didn’t really show any
lovingness that I can recall to my sisters or brothers or to myself. And so even though it
appeared that he really wanted me to accept that, I still wasn’t buying it. But it seems that
it would be very healthy for me to believe that.

Sheariam: It would appear that you have made contact with the remains of the
personality, father, that cannot dissipate until certain restitutions are made insofar
as that consciousness is concerned. Whether or not you wish to accept or believe
that this personality did indeed love you as your father, or you can find it within
yourself to forgive on the basis of that consciousness acting in accordance with the
parameters of its knowledge, you can release that personality to go on.
In other words, as your father, that person did only as he knew how to do,
and anger or resentment or hostility on your part resulting from the actions of that
father personality only keeps that father personality from going on farther. If you
can release those feelings, you do not have to go so far as to love, but if you could,
you would then be promoting that personality’s advancement. Do you understand?

Bonnie: Yes, I think I do. Thank you. (This is most certainly a very good
example of how the gemstones can assist you. You must continue to work with
them.)

Sidney: In relationship to the gemstone, I’d like to ask a question. What part of the
body should one touch to assist in dealing with the causes of symptoms of allergies?
(About the third vertebra from the topmost spinal joining with the neck bones, close
to the top of the shoulder blades and centered between.) And one does this in
meditation, or is there an advantage in doing this, in any case using real diamonds, too?
(Both.)

Maxine: May I ask, does it help to have say a chiropractor do an adjustment on that
part of the body? (If the chiropractor is aware of what he or she is doing, and thus
deals properly with the energy systems there present, the answer would be “yes”.)
Are you aware of my Dr. Robyn Finseth? (Yes.) Does she understand my needs when
she works with me? (Yes.) I had a feeling that she did.

Sidney: The other day a thought came to me. I was kind of half in a state of
consciousness and half not. I don’t know where it came from, but the thought was that
“God begins where the spleen ends.” Is there any significance to that? (There is a great
deal of significance to that, and that will be introduced to you by Silverthistle in the
healing weekend.) I was almost afraid to ask. That was down at the bottom of the list.

Owen: I would like to ask about my gem. When we had the meditation about
looking to the side of the road in the desert to find something shining, I went over and
picked up what appeared to be a cut, faceted, clear sphere, which I assumed was a cut
sphere of crystal quartz. In actuality that is one I have, and is that appropriate for me, or
should I have a natural crystal? (A cut gemstone is perfectly all right. Quartz is most
eminently suitable, yes.)

Eileen: To the other extreme, when I had that meditation, I picked up a stone that
was very smooth. It was a grey color, but there were blue tones showing through it, as if
its roughness were on top of the other, as if it hadn’t been cut. I’m wondering what
significance that has. I haven’t had any other contact with the stone at all. (There is great
power in the natural state of a gemstone. But that which you found has not been
found again because it was in a state of transition, as are you. You will find as you
continue to work with the meditation that the appropriate stone will appear for you
simultaneously with other events as they arrange themselves. Properly.) I think in the
last few weeks I’ve probably meditated more than in my whole life before, and I’ve had
less results. (Because there are others things drawing on your energies.) That’s what I
was suspecting. (Had you not spent that time in meditation, you would be in the
hospital beside your husband.) ( I have felt that it helped, but not visually. But
something’s there helping.

RetaMae: In my waking state, when I think of my diamond, my gemstone, I feel the
golden glow that I knew when I had my near-death experience. And it has been very
comforting for me. Is this something that will continue? (Yes. As given you before, the
diamond is the result of much intense activity over a long period of time, and thus
symbolizes the highest evolution a human personality spirit can achieve. Bask in
that glow for you have earned it.) I also hear the music when I get real intense and
close other things of my daily life out. I hear the music.

Jean: Is there anything that I can do to improve my hearing. It seems to not be
improving and I wish it would. I am getting chiropractic treatments on my neck, and I am
taking chickweed. (For one thing, you surround yourself with too many crystals. You
should not carry on your person that many diverse energies. If you will select one
that is the one which feels best to you, and carry just that one, you will be better off.
The energies of the crystals are such that they can drain human energies as well as
enhance.)
Does that mean that I should not have them around the room also? (You should
reduce the number at least, or cover them with a dark cover.)

Sidney I’d like to have a little elaboration of that point. As crystals are used in
healing, and as Jean uses them to heal others, and others of us are involved in that as
well, is there any deleterious effects from dealing with the crystals in that regard, or is the
energy focused by our minds to the other person? (The crystal has its own generating
capacity and can be deleterious, and in fact, some of the practices which are now
being taught are inappropriate. It is not within my purview to instruct you in the
use of crystals.)

RetaMae: I have a large crystal hanging from my kitchen window, and I like to
watch the sunlight and the prisms through the kitchen. Does that interfere with my
gemstone, the diamond? I do not feel any difference with the crystal and the diamond. (I
would not try to use the diamond when within ten feet of the crystal.) Thank you.
That explains some things that have been happening.

Sidney: I usually wear diamonds and crystals at the same time. Is that
inappropriate? (That is inappropriate.)
Owen: There are probably a number of us that have what we might term
“crystals” hanging in the window where they will catch the sunlight and break it up into
little rainbows around the room. Actually these are usually from glass. (Glass does not
have the same properties as true crystal.)

Sidney: Is there a possibility that sometime in the Tuesday night group you might
explain gems, their uses, and their practices, and so forth? (It is hoped that will occur. It
is important that we bring through the information on the Realms. Until Judith’s
program is completed, it is not likely that another course will be taken.)

Maxine: I do have glass crystals hanging around the room in the windows, and I
also have natural crystals on the tables. Is that all right or helpful? (At times the energy
will change. You should attune yourselves to the subtle energies of these stones. As I
come, I am supported by temple members who offset these energies. There is a
certain degree of influence to be held by one’s own source group, but it is as with all
things, one should be moderate in the use or the possession of such items.)

Ida: I had a crystal that’s faceted. It’s hanging on a chain. I’ve never done
anything with it. It’s just in a drawer. Would that be any use for me? (You should hold it
in your hand during a time of quiet contemplation and see how you react to it.)

Sidney: Each morning I will, in a semi-contemplative state, breathe with my
crystals and with my diamonds, trying to get in sync with them, and then I attempt to
breathe in from them all the good that is in them so that the good can stay with me as
long as it can, then pass through to others. Then after that, I cleanse them with my breath
and with my mind as Warren Clausner, a student of Marcell Vogel, has taught, by
holding them at their poles, north, south, east, and west,. Is what I’m doing appropriate?
(We would suggest that you break up the exercise and not do it all at one
sitting. If you choose to work with crystals, work with crystals. If you choose to
work with diamonds, work with diamonds. It is not healthy to mix and match.)
Assuming that we, as humans, do not block anything from passing through us,
what happens at all the various levels when a man and woman express themselves in
sexual intercourse? (Again, that goes beyond the scope of our teaching at this time.
But be it remembered by all of you that the sexual union should be the highest
representation of one’s love for the other.)

RetaMae: Gloria and I drove up to Mt. Hood to look at the Kiwanis’s camp. I’m sure
you were with us. She made some comments about me and what she was thinking. Could
you do some excerpts on that without my going into detail? (Do you have a specific
question you need answered?) Yes, on what she saw in me, that I could just disappear
instantly at any time. That in particular and relating to that comment. (You will stay here
as long as it takes you to complete your mission. You will not drift away magically.)

Sidney: In reference to that, Seth commented, or Jane Roberts commented, in the
book Seth Speaks, that it wasn’t Jesus who was crucified, but another man, and that was a
result of having kind of found life to be somewhat awkward after that fact, and he willed
himself out of existence. I’m not quite sure what my question is, but somehow this came
to mind. Can you comment on that? (Again, we do not wish to make a long
dissertation upon the existence or the non-existence of the man, Jesus, which this
question traps us into. But to answer the question as to whether or not human
beings can at this point in the evolution of their consciousness translate their human
body into the invisible world, for the most part, the answer is “no”. But there are a
few who can and have.)

Jean: At this time? (At this time.)
Sidney: Permanently or at will to return? (Once that transition has been elected,
it is to all intents and purposes permanent.)
Myra: That makes me wonder about the idea of the “walk-ins” that Ruth
Montgomery spoke about. (We have advised that this is an untruth. Go back and
study earlier comments. That question was already asked.)

Eileen: This is a rather personal question, and if you don’t want to deal with it,
just say so. But at one time I felt that, after my husband’s operation and his heart stopping
and all, that he made a choice to stay here. He shouldn’t be here according to medical
facts. Was he influenced by those around who chose to be around him at that time, or was
there this choice made? (There was such a choice made, and it was due to his
affectionate ties with those he felt he could not leave behind. He chose to stay
knowing the suffering it would incur for him psychologically and emotionally. He
was not released.)

Sidney: I have visions at will whenever I desire to have them. Sometimes in color.
They are all bathed in one color or another. But I’m really not understanding them too
well. I understand the red and how that’s related to the first seal, and it’s mentioned in the
book of Revelations, at least in terms of what I’ve read from what Edgar Cayce has said.
But visions that are in blue and in green and grey, I don’t know whether I’m looking at
the past, the future, or what. Also, many of my visions I’m at a loss because there are
things I’ve never experienced in any way that I can identify with this particular
personality. I would welcome some information and also some means of interpretation
and advice you could give me.

Sheariam: You must remember that you as a personality are one of a number of
lives belonging to the core entity. Through the entity, information from other
personalities can come to this personality which you know. Some of these visions are
a result of that type of communication or bleed through. Some of them are due to
reincarnational experiences, both of the personality and of the entity. Some of the
things that you receive are simply psychic perceptions of activities going on in
another’s mind that are not necessarily connected with your core entity. There is no
generalization that we can give you that will answer the question in your mind. Each
episode must be considered on its own merits.
It would seem the time draws on, and we should have our meditation. If you
will settle yourselves, clear your minds, and breathe deeply. We shall try something
slightly different tonight. Using your imagination, move away from your body to the
center of the group, and turn to face your body as it sits in the chair. Observe it as it
sits there, and feel yourself as separate from the body. Note some of the familiar
things about the body. And then take note of anything which seems unfamiliar to
you.
Now, gently, until you become accustomed to the exercise, allow yourself to
look at the other bodies sitting in the chairs around the room. Note the familiar.
Take note of the unfamiliar, that which you have not previously noticed. Now look
back at your own body, and experience within yourselves a love for that body, even
as you might look at your own child and know that you love that child. Look at your
body and love that body.
Now with affection look at other bodies in the group. Move around from one
to the other. In each case, love that physical manifestation. Now even though your
consciousness is outside looking at the body, the body’s sensory system accepts the
warmth of the love being directed towards it. And not being hampered by the
consciousness, the cells of the body can bask in that love and be healed.
Now while the bodies rest comfortably in the chairs, let your non-physical
selves mingle in the center. Hug each other. Love each other. And as you exchange
these thoughts and these emotions, you build a powerful field of energy, a
tremendously magnetic field of loving thought and emotion. It is like the contagion
of joy. You cannot help but feel uplifted.
And now as you participate in this ceremony of joy, think of those loved ones
that you would invite to join you. And as they receive your message, they leave their
physical body resting at peace, and their non-physical parts join you in the group.
There is great loving, embracing and sharing.
Now using the power of your imagination, think of quantities of this love
energy as balloons. As children, toss those balloons into the air, and let the currents
in the sky carry them around the world. And so you share this joyous energy you
have brought together. Fling your arms, bat those pieces of energy around. Push
them around the world with your mind. Enjoy this. Have fun. Be child-like.
Now with tenderness and with sweetness, embrace and kiss goodbye. Allow
your loved ones to return to themselves. Each of you return to your physical body,
and feel the enlivening action in the physical cells as this joyous, uplifted, happy,
non-physical self returns to the physical body. Feel the stimulation in the blood
stream. Feel the lifted heart in the breast. And last of all feel your connection with
each other. Know that as you share love and joy, you heal and are healed. You are
blessed. Go in peace until we meet again.

Closed with ‘Let there be peace on earth.”
