Session #54 – July 6, 1985
Gloria’s Circle
Present: LaMar and RetaMae Bell, Owen and Maxine Cramer, Bonnie Wisz, Myra
Perala, Eileen Horton, Sidney Smither.
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. We listened with great interest to
your discussion which preceded this moment. We have been very near the channel
this week as she has struggled with questions of her own. Finally, taking into
account instruction given, she has made the demand that we answer, and it is our
pleasure to do so.
There are many puzzlements among you, and certainly within the
consciousness of the channel. So it is tonight that we will postpone the formal
presentation on the angels and deal with those human concerns which stand in the
way of your comprehension of the lessons. We will entertain your questions first,
and whatever concerns are not covered by your questions we will then take up.
Owen: I guess to start, Gloria was concerned about a feeling of apprehension that
she had the morning following the open session. She was not able to tie down whether
this was connected to the open session or just what it was related to. Is there an
appropriate explanation for that?
Sheariam: This indeed is at the root of the concern of the channel. During that
meeting, as you have been advised, the successful transmission depends upon the
concentration of those present. Inasmuch as a new communicator was present, there
were certain changes in the consciousness of the channel and outside interference, a
noise disturbed the concentration of some there present. This caused
disorganization of certain physical systems which sustain the body during the
absence of the personality.
When the personality returns, it finds the body not as it was left. And there is
a period of readjustment. This brought on that sense of anxiety and apprehension.
There was also present anxiety and apprehension in the minds of some of you. No
matter how fleeting, that has its impact upon the energies of the physical body
which we use as channel. Therefore, it behooves you to keep your thoughts as pure
and as clear as you possibly can, and to sustain and maintain your perfect attention
upon the transmission.
Each outside interference which you permit to interrupt the focus of your
concentration causes much derangement in the energy systems of the physical body
of the channel. Occasionally that happens here in this intimate circle. Inasmuch as
you meet here on a regular basis, we can deal with those small interruptions much
more efficiently than in a place where a meeting is held only occasionally.
Myra: So, if we’re in a future date when there’s an open meeting, and say a truck
roars by or a ball bounces, as in this last time, then it’s very important for us to keep our
concentration on what’s happening rather than allowing that to distract us. (Yes, indeed.)
Owen: Would it be appropriate then to mention the importance of keeping the
thought focused on the message, and we could make the statement that somebody is
designated to take care of distractions, and let that one person be bothered. Would this be
appropriate? (That would be helpful, most certainly.)
LaMar: We could also find out if we could get some ventilation other than having
those windows open.
Eileen: Do the outside distractions bother Gloria? (Only insofar as they bother
those in the circle. The physical energies of the channel depend upon the focus of
attention of you present.) So an abrupt noise would not bring Gloria out of trance? (It
could.) I think several of us were concerned that the stringent bouncing might bring
Gloria out of her trance. (It certainly caused a disruption in the energy systems which
resulted in physical discomfort for her.)
Owen: Was our surprise at Torbion, a name we were completely unfamiliar with,
a distraction? I personally was a little concerned. I was hoping that this was someone that
was directly related to the temple and authorized to come through. But I was a little bit
concerned. (Yes, your concern came through loud and clear. You must trust us. We
gave you instructions. You followed the instructions, and then abandoned your
trust.)
RetaMae: We were being tested, too, Saturday night, weren’t we? (Yes. I will
explain Torbion’s presence after we have dealt with your immediate concerns.)
Peggy: I kept sending messages to the boys who were playing ball to go away.
(That took your focus of attention away from the proceedings.)
Owen: Another item was the comparative shortness of the session. Everybody
recognizes that what Torbion gave us was very condensed and meaty and that it was very
important. We had nothing but compliments on that. But there seemed to be a reluctance
to expand on or discuss anything of the message afterwards.
Sheariam: Perhaps, in order to answer your questions, we must discuss Torbion
now. We thought you had other concerns we could deal with first. However, there
are, as you have been told, creations which are creative, as you are creations which
are creative. In these creations the Divine Germ Cell is most dominant and ever
present. But creative creations can formulate or model certain extensions of
themselves which have form and function and some degree of force, but not, in
themselves, creative.
In your physical existence this is sometimes referred to as a thought-form.
Not all thought takes form, and we must not at this point in time explain about
thought-forms, but merely inform you of their existence and non-germinal
structure. In the same way, or similar way, method or mode, which an earth-
physical person would model a thought-form to perform a particular mission, so is a
psychosome formed by an angelic order.
It is a rare occasion on which a member of the angelic order can materialize
or in other shape be active in the physical realm. But the angels can model a non-
creative form which we call a psychosome, which, at the behest of the angelic order,
can fulfill a particular mission. Torbion is one of those. It is not a personality. It is
not an intellect, but is merely a non-creative formulated extension of angelic being.
In this way certain missions can be accomplished in the earth-physical by the
angelic orders.
When you see a being of light as a physical manifestation, you are not seeing
the angel itself, but merely a physical form created by the angels as a projection of
itself, in other words, a psychosome. The psychosome may take on any physical
appearance the angel formulates for it. Thus you have many myths and legends as
to the appearance of angelic beings, when, in fact, you do not have the sensoria to
actually behold an angelic being.
At that meeting, this angelic extension made its presence known to carry a
specific message to you and to those present. This Torbion, is an extension, or
psychosome, or extension of the Order of the Chasmalim, because the matter of
world concern had to do with a situation which the Chasmalim was in the process of
resolving. There was present in that audience certain entities which needed to hear
that which was given.
As you followed our instructions to cleanse and sanctify and protect the area,
you made it possible for such communication to occur. Because of the derangement
in the physical energies in the body of the channel, it was necessary that the meeting
be foreshortened. We do not operate on the same time schedule as you observe, but
must deal in energy systems and organizations. When the situation is not adequate
to the transmission, transmission must be withheld.
Inasmuch as we have spent much time and effort in developing this channel,
we do have certain prerogatives which enable us to hold things together, to suitably
draw such a meeting to a close in an appropriate manner. There was time, a
moment, when the personality was called, or felt the urge to return, to the physical
body. We interjected, calmed the waters, so to speak, and enabled your proceedings
to continue. But it is for these reasons that you did not have a longer meeting.
Owen: That explains a lot. I hope you’ll forgive us our lack of understanding of
what was going on at the time. (There was no way in which we could inform you
without causing further disruption.)
Myra: Did you know before Saturday night that Torbion was going to be with
us? (No.)
LaMar: This is sort of in line with the question I was going to ask. As you just said
that the material was in line with the people who were in the audience, which would lead
me to believe that either the decision was made as to what was going to be given was
made after the audience arrived, or else you or Torbion, or someone, or all of you, knew
beforehand who was going to be there. (We know when the decision is made to
attend.)
Myra: Could you suggest perhaps other ways of deciding who to invite, as we
contact those people we know. Sometimes I say that if you know someone you feel
would be interested in coming, let me know. Are there other ways that we ought to be
using to be sure that people come that ought to be there? (As you know, there are no
coincidences or accidents. There is no absolute predestination. Each moment grows
out of the moment before it. Thus each moment creates it needs, makes its demand,
and receives its supply.)
Peggy: Is there any way, like we had our little prayer session before this last
meeting. Is there any way we could ask for our outer entities to make sure this doesn’t
happen again, that they could calm the area so that it would not have that noise? (You
can demand what is rightfully yours. You cannot command others whether they be
in your realm or ours. Those who caused the disruption had every right to be where
they were doing what they were doing. It was the responsibility of those active in the
meeting to maintain their attention on what they were doing.)
LaMar: I might call attention to the people in here, and perhaps there are those
who are unaware, that in the Tuesday night class Gloria was very abruptly brought back
and was quite ill simply due to the fact that people in the group did not have their
attention on what was being said. It created a very difficult situation. (Yes. Such energy
disorganization disrupts the physical vehicle and can be quite damaging. Again, the
entity and the personality accept this risk when lending themselves to this activity. It
is not without awareness that they do so. But there must be trust and confidence
between the channel and the supporters of the channel. This is why you were
instructed to be seated as you were to enable the proceeding and protect the
channel.) Was the seating OK, if we had just kept our attention where it should have
been? (Admirable.)
Question about how to spell “psychosome”. (As in “psyche”, psycho’ same as in the
Greek, “soma”, in your English “some”.)
Owen: Torbion mentioned coming from the “psychic realm”. That, I presume,
was a general use of the word “psychic”. (No. It was a specific. The word “realm”
causes confusion, but your language provides few alternatives to describe an area of
experience or condition of being. The “Psychic Realm” resides within the Mental
Realm, the Realm of Mind.) That raises a further question. The archangels are in the…
well, I guess they move between realms, but I guess to some extent they are in the Divine
Realm, are they not?
Sheariam: You are confused in that you see the archangels as individualities and
perhaps personalities. Again, language causes a barrier to understanding. Regard
the archangels as, let us say, systems of energy. Within your physical organism you
have various systems of energy of which you are aware. You have the circulation of
blood, of lymph, and other subtle circulatory systems, all of which are
interdependent, none of which can be dispensed with.
Thus it is with the archangels. They are creations extant in the Realm of The
Divine. But the Realm of Cosmos could not exist if the archangels did not form a
support system or supporting cast. And so on down through all the realms. As all of
the Laws are present, as all of the Components are present everywhere in
everything, so are the archangels present.
Now you might not be able to comprehend that all of the archangels are
present in your mineral kingdom, but they are. Try to begin to see, to understand,
the archangels are an incorporated part and parcel of beingness. Divine in origin,
but like God-stuff, everywhere present and everywhere potent. A rock enjoys as
much abundance as do you. Haniel is present in the rock. The rock having little
volition, however, cannot invoke that power. You, having lots of Volition, can invoke
the power.
Bonnie: When Torbion was up there, I felt a real strong urge or connection, almost
psychic connection. (That is not unusual inasmuch as Torbion is a psychic
manifestation.) I was trying to understand what happened there. I almost felt like I was
going to be taken away. (You simply, in your terminology today, locked into that
form, that vortex of energy. Think of Torbion as an angelic thought-form.)
Owen: One other point: Torbion would not be considered an angel. (No. Not any
more than a thought-form would be considered a person or a human being.)
Sidney: I thought Michael was the Archangel in charge of abundance, if you will.
Were you relating Haniel to abundance for a particular reason in the mineral kingdom?
(Is not Haniel the Archangel of Abundance? Have I made an error?)
Owen: We have Haniel as the Law of Relinquishment and Michael with the Law
of Dominance and Principle of Appropriation.
LaMar: I have Haniel as Abundance. (Ed. Note: Haniel means “abundance”.)
Bonnie: I think you have mentioned a couple of times a perfect affirmation to say
“Let there be”. (Yes.) When we are calling upon the archangel power, can we use that as
the beginning of the affirmation? (Oh, yes. As you say “Let there be”, you are enacting
the Law of Relinquishment. You are relinquishing that energy and power within
your command to become something for you. As you are given in your Scripture,
God said, ‘Let there be light”, which, in fact, is The Absolute saying to Itself, “Let
part of Myself become manifest”, thus relinquishing.)
Owen: Torbion indicated an objective of securing our planet in the hierarchy of
planetary powers”. And later used the term “planet being”. Could you explain what that
means? (As we have not moved to instruct you in all of the realms as yet, this does
present a puzzlement for you. We understand. But the planet, as all physical
manifestations, is a result of action taken in the Realm of Soul, and that will be
discussed at the appropriate time.)
Sidney: Torbion also spoke of “the urge that causes to be, that outward push”.
Could you explain that, please? (How does one explain the inexplicable? The Absolute
has manifest Itself. Whatever that prompter is to bring that about is present in
every creative being.)
Owen: Another of Torbion’s statements that I wondered about was the statement
that we are responsible for “moral and ethical” laws that give the “intellect the power to
control the power of the forces unleashed”. I get the general concept, I think, but I am
puzzled as to how we can encourage or enhance the development of “moral and ethical
laws”. Are there any suggestions there?
Sheariam: By virtue of what you do in this room, by virtue of your study, by
virtue of disseminating the instruction and information which we give you, you are
performing the task of which you speak. Each individuality must in its condition of
being establish a moral and ethical code by which it lives. In that intellect at this
state of human evolution is capable of unleashing lethal forces, that is, lethal to the
physical, it then becomes imperative that human evolution also establish moral and
ethical codes by which this lethal energy can be used.
You have in your technology commandeered electrical energy which you now
use to heat your homes, to give you light when the sun is gone. But you do not use
that force to destroy a neighbor with whom you grow angry.
You now have technology which enables large groups of people to annihilate
large groups of people. Governing bodies are not all functioning according to a
moral and ethical code which prevents them from doing so. Man cannot live in
harmony with each other until these moral and ethical codes are developed. Thus it
is that you were told the esoteric powers are hidden in oriental double talk, in
parables, allegories, and metaphors. Because you are not yet capable of utilizing
that knowledge without destroying all you have accomplished, we are on a mission
to reveal that portion of the esoteric secrets which will enable mankind to establish
such moral and ethical codes as will then enable him to utilize these esoteric powers
with the intent that such behavioral designs are developed before the discovery or
harnessing of the power occurs.
Owen: Would the moral and ethical codes be written codes then, or would this be
something incorporated in the nature of man and his thinking. (You cannot legislate
vice.)
Myra: So if we understand the great need for establishing moral and ethical
codes, then it really is imperative that we become politically active. Right? (Resist not
evil. Political activism leads to violence. You should invoke the power of Tzadkiel
and reproduce infinitely mercy and love.) Well, there is a movement in the congress to
have our federal government develop nerve gas, and the people are going to be voting on
this. To hinder, shouldn’t we try? (Exercise your right to vote. Political activism which
leads to sit-ins and ultimately to riots is improper behavior.) I was thinking of letter
writing and telephoning and influencing our congressmen. (You have the obligation as a
citizen of your country to make your wishes known to those who represent you.)
Sidney: Might not we have a better effect as a group by calling on the powers of
Tzadkiel as a group very frequently with that end result in mind? (Did you not witness
the result of your recent effort?)
Myra: Yes, that was exciting. They stopped being violent and became peaceful.
(And it was immediate if you will check your time table. As we led you into the
invocation to replace insanity with sanity, the decision was made to put in charge
the one person who commanded those forces which could bring about a resolution.
At the time that you entered that invocation, the situation was extremely
combustible.) The best kind of political activism. (If you do not learn from experience
there is little we can do for you.)
Sidney: Taking that one step further, we understand that there is the possibility of a
holocaust occurring on this earth in the not too distant future, perhaps. I assume that this
can occur anywhere between one and a hundred on a continuum of either total destruction
or very minor occurrence, if anything at all. My belief is that we as a group could
influence the lesser severity of destruction by what we do with the powers that we call
on, too. Is that correct? (Is that not what we already have told you?)
Myra: We just need the confirmation and the conviction in our hearts that we
have this power.
Sidney:And, of course, the doing, which is not necessarily what we do. (Many
carried the meditation within their hearts. Many repeated the affirmation about
mercy and love, and thus reinforced the work of the group. As we also told you,
there were other groups under our tutelage that were doing the same thing.)
LaMar: Would it not then be appropriate that we go to work on this business of
fires while we still have a country left that isn’t already burned down? (The threat to
your planet is not that two huge nations will begin an armed conflict unleashing the
technology of the day, but that small, incendiary groups will misuse that which they
steal. Such acts of terror are evidenced in your country in the arson, in the
kidnapping, in the murders, in the rapes. This will escalate to complete terrorist
activities as is present in other countries now, if you do not take some action to
prevent it. The destruction of your planet will come from such small beginnings that
they are not recognizable at first.
Sidney: I’d like to request that at the end of each session we be given essentially a
homework assignment like we were last time for the hostage situation. I think everyone
here would be willing to spend time during the two week interim working on the
problems of the world. (It is not for us to give you such assignments. It is for you to
develop them yourself. If we could, we would save your planet, but we cannot. You
must. We stepped in this past time because the jeopardy had grown to that point
where we were directly involved. This gave us the right to step in.)
Maxine: In our discussion the matter of the Rajneeshees who are settled in our
State of Oregon came up. Are they a threat to peace? (They are a threat to the morality.
If their code of conduct is that to be accepted by all, you will ultimately have
anarchy.)
Sidney: Speaking of the gentleman, himself, I’ve read some of his writings, and
I’ve found nothing harmful about him as an individual. Is it the man himself who is at
fault, or is it the followers who have distorted what he said. (It is the human side of the
man who has allowed a cult to grow about him, and then the misuse of his influence
by his followers. This is true in the Christian sect as it is true in all such
organizations. Certainly the original founders of the Christian movement had no
intention for the Spanish Inquisition or the Crusades.)
Bonnie: You mentioned that you were directly involved with the hostage crisis so
that you could step in. How is it that this was a direct threat to you? (Terrorists are now
in position, possession of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons destroy the physical
realm, and we are of the physical realm even as you are.)
Sidney: Torbion spoke of a “hierarchy of planetary powers”. Could you tell us
what that means? (That would require a discourse of some weeks, and ultimately we
will get to that.)
Owen: Speaking of nuclear processes, some lessons back it was indicated, as I
understood it, that nuclear weapon testing was very damaging to the atmosphere and to
the environment. As I understand it, the same processes that are involved in our nuclear
weapons and power plants are closely related to the processes that energize the stars and
the sun. I presume those processes are perfectly OK in those situations. (As it is all right
for electricity to warm your homes, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are
appropriate tools in the hands of those who have the understanding and wisdom to
use them for benefit.)
It’s not then a problem of destruction of matter as such? (You cannot destroy
life, you can only rearrange matter.)
Maxine: I would imagine in a way it is the same as fire would be many years ago.
Fire was considered dangerous, but if it is used properly it is beneficial. (It is true. Fire
transmutes certain elements into different conditions; so does nuclear power. That is
why Silverthistle has taught you adamantly against cremation. Fire and all such
forces which transmute from one condition to another interrupt the natural cycle
suitable to human evolution at this time. The phrase “human evolution” includes
your planet, not just mankind.)
Owen: Do you mean the physical evolution of the physical earth itself? (And the
spiritual earth. You certainly do not believe that what you witness as a physical orb
in space is all there is to your planet? (I know the Indians speak of the “Earth Mother”.
(Yes.) Then is there a spiritual entity that makes the earth a living being? (Yes.) And is
that being then the activator of such natural events as earthquakes, volcanic activity? (It
is the activator in that it is reactive. “Earth Mother”, as you call it, is the passive of
the two forces of the creative vortex. It is that which is moved upon, in Torbion’s
words.)
Myra: So what do we call the other part, the mover? (In your Scripture it is
called Heaven, but it is indeed that combination of intellect and sensibility which
you as humans work with all the time.)
Sidney: Torbion said that our Bible is a collection of teachings handed down from
adept to student. Could you please define what an “adept person” is. (An adept in that
reference would be your concept or profile of the man Jesus, one who has complete
control, complete dominion, over one’s self, over one’s choices, over one’s conduct.
One who acts, who does not react.)
Would that then be someone who received information similar to this that could
then be passed on to students as well, or one who is also adept at meditation in terms of
guide communication where he receives this data? (Yes.)
Myra: So that would be like the prophets of the Old Testament? (Your prophets
of the Old Testament were frail humans, if you read their stories correctly. They
were prophets, not adepts.) So adepts would be in the Spiritual Realm? (No. An adept
need not be confined to the Spiritual Realm.)
Eileen: Would Buddha be considered an adept? (In his latest years.)
Sidney: And the goal of all of us, of course, would be inevitably, at least you
would hope that we that we would strive for that ourselves, I take it? (This is the goal of
initiation, to reach that Attribute of Mastery, to know the Law of Relinquishment
and to enact it in all thought, action, feeling and deed. When you reach that point,
you need no longer be confined to the “wheel of reincarnation”.)
Is one of the goals to accomplish this, to become a five-fold being every moment
of our lives? (Yes. This is what lies behind the words in the New Testament where
Jesus says, “I and the Father are one”. When you begin to see yourselves while
retaining individuality, still not separate but part of All, you begin to reach in the
direction of adeption.)
I wrote a few notes about “In the beginning God made Heaven and Earth” stating
that all was intended to be as one. Heaven and Earth is to be a place where all realms
acknowledge each other as partners. Is that close to the concept? (If you could see or
comprehend that these realms are not like beads on a string, but are rather spheres
within spheres nested within each other, all still lying within the bosom of The
Absolute, you would begin to see that you are not isolated from each other. What
you do to harm yourself, you do to harm another. As you injure another, you injure
only yourself. Thus you are admonished to love your neighbor as yourself. Of the
virtues, St. Paul says “Charity is the greatest”. If you cannot do well by yourself,
how then can you do well by your Creator?)
Maxine: In other words, that was one of the reasons why we sent love and mercy to
the people who were holding the hostages? (That is why you should be invoking
Tzadkiel every time you think of world situations. Carry that affirmation within
your heart constantly.)
Sidney: Torbion told us in answer to Owen’s question that we should be aware of
world events in the news as opposed to putting them aside. It occurred to me as I was
watching the news the other day that I could invoke Tzadkiel every time I felt the need.
(That is correct.)
Myra: That’s the kind of political activity I had in mind.
Bonnie: I was wondering about the other seven hostages. We don’t want to forget
them. (No. But their situation is quite different, and they are where they must be for
now.)
Myra: Are they safe and comfortable? (In terms of what they would like, of
course not.)
Peggy: They will be released, won’t they? (I cannot tell you that.)
Myra: I’ve been thinking about the terrorism that happened in the mid-East and
the shocked response of our nation, and yet our government is doing the same thing in
Central America. Our government is doing the terrorism down there. I wonder, what
about invoking love and mercy to the Central America problems. (We did not isolate
any part of your planet. We said “world conditions”.) I really feel strongly about
Central America. I think it is scandalous what we’re doing down there.
Owen: I’d like to ask a question about something else. Two items come together.
One, the prospect of earth changes which have been mentioned. This wouldn’t
necessarily be the direct result of little terrorist groups. But it has also been mentioned
that there are foreseen spacial ice storms, and a huge formation of ice apparently would
result. Edgar Cayce, and I guess others, have mentioned a shift in the earth’s axis. The
only mechanism I visualize for shifting the axis might be that if a tremendous amount of
ice might form in a non-symmetrical position relative to the pole. Is this anything like
what’s expected?
(That is most certainly a possibility, which, of course, would cause great
disruption in the solar system and consequently in the galaxy, and on and on, like
ripples on a pond.)
But the physical manifestation is something that would come about as a result of
human thought and action, or the prevention thereof would also be related to human
thought and action. (That is so.)
Sidney: And there is also some talk of the possibility of a large meteor striking the
earth and causing a shift in the axis. Is that also a second possibility? (It is unlikely at
this time.)
At the last session of this group, you advised us that if we wished to surround
ourselves with white light, it is necessary to purify our thoughts and emotions. So I have
two questions. How do you define “purity of thought” as it applies to our realm? And
secondly, how do you define “purity of emotion” as it applies to us?
(If your thought is first of all truth, as best you know it, and if that thought,
when expressed, either verbally or by act, does no harm nor interfere in any way
with another, and if the emotional motivation which prompts putting that thought
into action is not based on motives of greed, then you are emitting the purest of
energies.)
Myra: Where is the place of the positive thought of it, the idea of support or
caring or love? That would seem like a higher thought instead of the absence of greed, for
instance. (Remember that, in the human condition, there is little done without
expectation of some kind of gratification. If you give value, it is of the nature of
humanness to expect value in return. Examine your motives. Are you indeed
performing an act of kindness without expectation of a change in the regard for you
that the recipient of your kindness may hold?)
Supposing we were able to honestly say “I don’t care if they respond with a
changed attitude”, but you want to do things for the very highest reason? (Then that is
pure motivation; that is charity.) That’s what I had in mind. Wouldn’t that be a higher
or more pure thought than the absence of greed? (There is never absence of motivation.
Absence of greed implies presence of something else. Thus it is that your Holy
Scripture admonishes you to pray in secret. Do your acts of charity anonymously.
Do not give gifts which have strings attached. Do not give compliments expecting the
attitude of the complimented to change. It is perfectly all right, of course, if it does
change, but your motivations are your concern.)
Sidney: A few moments ago you spoke about the end of the reincarnational cycle.
I’ve been curious about what happens in this or any other realm when a physical species
becomes extinct. (When a purpose or intent is fulfilled, it is taken back through the
realms to the Divine and recycled.) So then if we extinguish ourselves, that would be
precisely what would happen all over again from the beginning. (Yes. You could
extinguish the species. But since the species known as humankind is designed to
fulfill an intent originating in the realm beyond your command or demand, you
cannot destroy the human species. It will die out as the dinosaur when it has fulfilled
its function.)
Maxine: Then are you saying that one should not be concerned if some plant is
becoming rare and endangered so that we go about preserving it? (Man goes about
preserving such things for his own aesthetic gratification. This is not in itself an
erroneous purpose. But if you are an adept enacting the Law of Relinquishment,
you will allow things to pass away without fearing death as the end.)
Sidney: After our purpose is fulfilled and we’ve returned to the Divine, assuming
that is Divine Intent, I can’t quite understand what Torbion said in terms of the Scriptures
being the means by which we can achieve never-ending evolution. (Evolution, as
Torbion was using the word, represents the return to the Divine, as involution
represents the emanation of the Divine into the physical.) All right, that explains it. I
had it backwards.
Bonnie: One question you mentioned earlier about Torbion’s message being
specifically important for several people in the audience. Why was that important to
them? (That is none of your business.) (Laughter.) Then I’ll ask another question. Will
they find the secret? (Some already have.)
Maxine: Were they aware they needed to find the secret? Sometimes I wonder if
we are aware of what we need to know and it eventually comes. (But eventually you
come to understand. Even now, you are only brushing the surface of that which has
been given over the past period of time. That does not dismay us or dissuade us
from continuing to give you more. For you are fulfilling a purpose for us in being
the recipients of this information. We have a multifold purpose in that we wish to
assist you in your personal growth, but we also have a vested interest in the
preservation of the physical world under the known physical laws as it stands now.)
LaMar: Some time back you mentioned that the reason I went to the pyramid with
the teacher whom you referred to as the “monk” because he had taught me in that same
circumstance in some former period of time. This leads me to wonder if the material we
are getting here, at some time in the unseen or wherever, was known by me before and
then forgotten in the transition from the other side to this physical life, or is this
something that is brand new to me? (No. This is something you have known before,
and you misused the information, so you had to recycle.)
Myra: Is that true of just LaMar, or of the rest of us also? (All of you to some
extent.)
LaMar: Well, this is part of the reason for my question because there has been
much of the material that we have received here, and of the material that I was given in
Virginia Fidel’s classes, and Harvey Freeman, etc., that I was quite sure down deep
somewhere I had known before. Apparently I had. (Most of you are reincarnated
Atlanteans, as are most of our temple faculty.)
Sidney: So basically, as Atlanteans, we misused it as a culture. (You were part of
the loss.) Speaking of our own culture, this country, Richard was told that the Roman
Empire has been called the epitome of the rise and fall, vanity and greed and
misappropriation of universal energy, and that Rome represents decay. Could you
compare the Roman Empire to our own country? (It has been done so many times. In
the fall of Rome, the masses were thought to be gratified by entertainment and free
sustenance. Your own country has a top-heavy welfare program which is moving in
the same direction as that of ancient Romans. Keep the masses happy, and those in
power may do what they please. That is a fallacy. )
Maxine: But is there such a thing as helping them to help themselves? That would
be the important thing, wouldn’t it? (Of course. Why do we tell you that you are your
own primary project?)
Owen : Since we have a civilization in our country based on life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness, the guidance seems to leave a little something off about the pursuit
and development and taking advantage of our life here in pursuit of development. (Yes. It
has come to the point where people believe that happiness is their right, rather than
the pursuit thereof. We cannot give you spirituality. You must pursue that
yourselves. We can only give you the means, the information, the support, the
guidance, but you must do the work.)
Maxine: This leads me to a question. I want to know why it is important for us to
learn the meanings of sounds and to use them in a mantra. (Because every word you
speak is an emanation of your power, and the sound is creative. Sound creates form.
Remember we gave you that the formulae for sound, number and function come
from the Realm of spirit. It is the interaction of these formulae which enable you to
express yourselves, to be the creative beings you were intended to be.)
Sidney: A while ago you said that not all thoughts have form. If those thoughts
that don’t have form are then combined with sound, then will they have form? (They
may have form then, but not necessarily creativity.)
Eileen: Is it true that thought-forms from different sources attract each other and
gain energy? (Yes, that is true. The thought forms that you exude are your
representatives throughout everywhere. They exercise your control over magnetism
and repulsion. Thought forms cannot think for themselves. They can only fulfill the
mission which you direct them upon.)
Owen: This puzzles me, because, as in the case of Torbion, he was given a
mission, but it required thought to accomplish the mission. So if we developed a thought
form to quiet a hostile situation, it would almost require thought to accomplish the
mission since, as you say, the thought form is incapable thought.
(It cannot think for itself. It can only think with your thinker. Thus it was
when Torbion was asked a question outside of his instruction, it was not possible to
be answered without instruction. You will recall there was an interim of absence
during which Torbion received instruction.)
Myra: Oh, that was why the quiet. That’s why Torbion didn’t answer Sid’s
question then. (Because Torbion could not.)
LaMar: I notice you just referenced Torbion as “him”. This brought up another
question that was what I would have said during the time the lecture was being given, but
then Torbion was referred to as “her” and originally at the beginning of this evening you
referred to Torbion as “it”. I take it that Torbion can be either he, she, or it, then?
(That is correct depending upon what function is being fulfilled at the given
time. You do not have a pronoun to describe Torbion.)
Sidney: Or we could refer to Torbion as an Angel of Mercy. No. Torbion is not
an angel. Sent by an angel of mercy? (True. Torbion is not a member of the Order of
Angels but is a psychosome.) Almost like a robot. Yes. Like a computer given certain
instructions with a certain program that can produce certain information, but
cannot go outside of those parameters.)
Bonnie: Sheariam, do you think it’s possible that’s why we knew there was
something different when Torbion came through, that there was some reaction to it. I
don’t think it was because we hadn’t spoken to that person before, but we sensed
something was different. (But you should have trusted us.)
LaMar: I think this possibly has to do with, again as we’ve said before, the
background of the different people in the group. I have been with Virginia Fidel in this
type of thing and with Gloria back in the sixties. And I had absolutely no reaction to that
the other night because I had the very strong feeling that whatever was going to come
would be correct, or it wouldn’t be coming through this source.
Sheariam: Yes. You must also trust the channel’s dedication to the commitment.
Now we have one more thing that must be discussed tonight before we go to
meditation. That is the dismay of our dear Achowthbah Kerathyn (meaning student
Bonnie). When giving the origin of the ankh, we fulfilled the request made: to tell
you the origin of the ankh. It is not possible to give you the volumes and volumes
necessary to describe the evolution of the ankh to this point in time. We would refer
you to Egyptology, that the staff of life is shaped like a shepherd’s crook, but has
certain appurtenances at its base. This is the staff mentioned in the 23rd Psalm. The
rod is the ankh, the ankh being the feminine or the passive tool, and the staff being
the active or masculine tool to represent that function of life force.
As the ankh is only a tool, like a knife, no matter now sharp, it cannot cut
until an intellect applies manipulative energies to the knife. So the ankh, in and of
itself, in its physical representation carries no magical force. The magic and the
force lies in the intellect and the manipulator of the tool.) (This was delivered rather
rapidly as if read from a prepared statement.)
Owen: I think that part of the question about the ankh or the answer to it was a bit
of a surprise because of Elizabeth Haight’s discussion of the ankh in her book
“Initiation”. It seemed as though that related to a time that has been said to be more than
10,000 years earlier, and it seemed to be a little bit different use of the ankh in that
experience.
Sheariam: First of all, be aware that Elizabeth is human. Her experience and her
understanding are limited by human intelligence, in spite of the fact that she is of
great illumination. In that related in her book as far memory, there are errors
therein. The book was recommended to you as an example of what is meant by
“initiation”, not that everything in that book is totally accurate.
Eileen: I’m wondering how you use the ankh. (As a tool. As you understand the
symbology behind the shape, it brings a response in the mind and emotions of the
user. As a tool it can be used for healing, but it also can be used for destruction. As
given in the book by Elizabeth, there is indeed magical properties present in certain
minerals. When tools are made of these minerals, under certain conditions, those
magical properties are available to the use of the one who understands them. This is
very potent information, and thus it is that the scriptures hide this information in
the oriental double talk. Regard the ankh as being that symbolical representation of
the secret of fecundation, that two become one to make a third.)
Would there be any connection between the use of the ankh and the Catholic
rosary? (Yes. Catholicism has taken what might be termed pagan representations
and converted them to the use of the church to formulate and perpetuate its dogma.
This is not to negate everything for which Catholicism stands, but to alert you to the
dangers of accepting something in whole without due examination and
contemplation. As we have admonished before, we do not wish for you to take our
words without such examination and contemplation. Always exercise your capacity
for reason and logic, your capacity for intuitive knowing. What is truth for one is
not always truth for another. You must find your own truth.
Now let us move to our meditation, if you will. Tonight we are going to give
you a little experience in the understanding of the management of your own
energies. As you relax your bodies, become aware of the sensitized points on your
shoulders and your knees. Notice that there is a different perception there of the
atmospheric conditions. While your body may feel warm all over, the points of the
knees and the points of the shoulders may feel less warm. Or the reverse may be
true. Tune in to that which it is for you.
Now breathe deeply and rub the palms of your hands together gently, and
then cross your arms placing your palms on the points of your shoulders. Feel then
the difference in the energy of the body. As you do this, you discover that the points
of your knees also change, although you are touching your shoulders. Now release
your shoulders. Bring your palms back together gently, and without crossing your
arms, place your hands upon your knee caps. Notice the change in the energy
systems of the body.
Now bring your palms back together again, and simply relax. Breathe
deeply. Rest your hands apart.
Now with your dominant hand, leaving your dominant hand relaxed, make
five circles counter-clockwise over your midriff, and then relax. Note any changes.
Now these simple exercises should be practiced until, by their use, you can
warm your body or cool it off. When you become emotional and your body energies
become deranged, and body temperature rises, seat yourself quietly and perform
these exercises until you have brought the body energies back into alignment. When
you have the body energy systems properly aligned, you can proceed to your
centering activities in preparation for meditation. This may help those of you who
are in a spell of meditative inactivity.
Now, inasmuch as sound carries power, we would ask that with your
dominant hand, you place your palm about three inches in front of your Adams
apple and say the AUM once. (Done.) Now place the palm of your hand over your
heart. Feel the power of connection. When you are fearful, when you are frightened,
apprehensive or anxious, this will enable you to generate the energy of the renal
glands. You may relax your hands.
Now with the dominant hand relaxed, place the palm of your non-dominant
hand about two inches in front of the center of your eyebrows, and again say AUM.
(Done) Now place the palm of that hand against the back of your head at the base of
your skull. When you need those words essential to convey a thought or an emotion,
especially to someone with whom your relationship is disturbed, this exercise
previous to such an encounter will awaken that wisdom energy in the pineal gland
which you need to make communication at the psychic level and thus enjoy
understanding. You may relax your hand.
Now relax and breathe deeply. Place your palms together as before, and
holding the palms together again, say the third AUM. (Done) Now direct your palms
to the center of the room. You have not only aligned your physical energies with the
third AUM, you have brought into play the psychic and the spiritual energies which
you now combine among yourselves to form a magnetic field in which rapport
exists. Relax your hands and allow that magnetic field to pull out of you that which
no longer belongs. Release resentment, fear, lack of confidence, anything which
keeps you from being your total self. Allow that magnetic field to pull it out of you
and into itself. When you feel sufficiently cleansed, you may then, by speaking the
name, invite those whom you think might also wish such cleansing to come into that
magnetic field. (Names quietly whispered.) Remember especially the absent members
of your circle.
Now because you have already invoked the archangels, repeat the
affirmation “Mercy and love are infinitely reproduced.” (Done.) Now with the
creative power of your voices and the repetition of that affirmation three times, you
have converted the negatives drawn from you into the magnetic field into positive
attributes of mercy and love.
Now you may, with the power of your thought, move that ball of magnetic
mercy and love into the atmosphere and around our planet to be partaken of by
anyone who so desires. As that magnetic field moves across that portion of the earth
in which someone is asking for mercy and love in whatever way that petition may be
presented, by magnetic attraction it is a huge balloon that moves through the
atmosphere carried by the wind currents, so large that all of the sky is filled with it.
As you do this, you bless not only your own planet, but the gravitational field of that
planet, and thus the fields of the other planets.
You have expanded your own capacity for further expression of mercy and
love. As you move through the coming period of time until we meet again, be
observant of yourselves. Notice when you have expressed that mercy and love which
being cleansed enables you to express.
Thank those consciousnesses who have come to join you in this effort, and
allow them to retreat back to themselves. Thank your own guides and ministers for
sharing in this moment of cleansing and healing. Thank also the members of the
temple who have joined you in this effort and who continue to join you in the times
between our meetings. Then you may express your appreciation to your progenitor,
to your God, for creating you in the image of a creative being which enables you to
make a difference.
Then I extend to you my thanks for sharing with me yourselves, your hearts,
and your minds, and giving me the privilege of communicating with you. My
blessings go with you until we meet again. Be at peace.
Many expressions of blessing and appreciation. Closed with the usual “Let there be peace
on earth.” The group seemed unusually talkative and in a mood to visit despite the late
hour.)
