Session #55 – July 20, 1985
Gloria’s Circle

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

Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. It was a very interesting
discussion upon which we eavesdropped earlier. This is the kind of study you should
be doing. You should bring forth your questions. You should look up the references
in the material you so wisely provided for yourselves.
As you move forward with your project, your workbook, you will make
many interesting discoveries of information, of knowledge which you now have in
your possession, but which you do not understand. These tools, as you develop them
for yourselves, will serve to disseminate this information even as we determined so
long ago that you were indeed that worthy group to whom we could entrust such
precious knowledge.
As you can witness for yourselves, though you have the knowledge, though it
is given and given again and still given again, you do not grasp until certain
understanding is achieved. And then additional knowledge becomes important. So it
is, as your workbook passes into the hands of students like yourselves, while the
knowledge is there, it will only be of value as understanding develops. And it takes
understanding of these basic truths before they can truly be misused.
As we give you this information, we strive to keep it sufficiently edited that
one who has understanding but is not oriented towards the intent and purpose for
which we work, cannot use our words for ill purpose. As you know, we have given
the positive aspects, though we have informed you that everything has its polar
opposite. The affirmation which you make for your growth, for your harmony, for
your understanding, for your health, for your success, could all be turned around
and used by the forces of destruction, were we to give you those sounds and the
combinations of those sounds to use in that manner. That we will not do.
By experience, by development over centuries of time, language has been
developed that is destructive, language that you use day by day. It is the correction
of this usage for which we urge you to understand the power of your voice, the
creative power of the sounds you make, so that you combine the sounds which you
utter into statements that will bring only the best for you and your world.
We cannot stress this too strongly. After all this effort we have shared, you
are now beginning to appreciate what was given in the beginning. Your
understanding is now beginning, where before you were merely being informed. We
are indeed much gratified with your progress, encouraged in our efforts, pleased
with your diligence and dedication. We thank you.

Myra: It’s hard what we do, but we try. (Trying is not doing. You either do or
you do not.
Now before we move forward with our lessons on the Orders of the Angels,
we would entertain further questions if you so desire.)
Richard: We do have one question, which you probably over heard, and that was in
regard to the Archangel Tzaphkiel, in which one of our group remembered reading an
affirmation which has wording like this “Understanding gives balance by raising
illusion.” It was that word, “raising” that we were questioning because it didn’t seem to
make sense. We wondered if it was spelled with an “s” or a “z”, or maybe the word was
“erasing, which we transcribed incorrectly. (The intent is that illusion be removed.)
So we could say “removing illusion”. (Yes.)

Myra: Is that a good affirmation: “Understanding gives balance by removing
illusion.”? (It is a basic truth.) So basic truth can make good affirmations? (Most
assuredly so.)

Sidney: In this past fortnight I was playing around with some of the sounds, and
trying to determine, using the sounds that you had given us, which I guess are the positive
aspects of the sounds, the difference between “heaven” and “hell”, the difference between
“divine” and devil”, all of which share common letters. And it occurred to me that the “n”
sound is very important to “divine” and “heaven”, that it seems like the constant
communication between Divine and Mundane is occurring there, whereas in “hell”,
although there may be a lot of light, it’s a very self-contained light, or contained on the
earth. The same is true with “devil”. Am I close to grasping something there?
(It would seem you have grasped an essential principle of that which we
teach. Your double “l” for instance, too much of a muchness. Your word “hell”
which stands for an eternally burning place, the eternally burning of a flame, or
fire, is still the fire of life, the fire of eternity, but turned into a negative usage. It
gives no opportunity, as does the sound of “n” to return to the Divine condition.)

Owen: I had an experience last week I was a little puzzled about. I had intended
to find a person I thought would be very much interested in our book, and that might be
influential in spreading the good word about it. A whole series of funny little incidents
took place that resulted in my not being able to locate this person. I wondered if this was
just my lack of good planning. Or is this something that was intended to happen that way
so that I not meet them? (You were not intended to make the contact you desired.
That contact seeks exploitive experience, seeks the spectacular. What you do here is
indeed spectacular, but not something which you could stand upon a stage and
entertain a crowd with, nor is it intended to do so. Your book will not be on the best
seller list.) (Refers to attempt to locate Shirley MacLaine’s secretary in Cripple Creek,
Colorado.)

Sidney: There is a gentleman by the name of Dick Sutfin, who through channeling
in deep meditation and automatic writing, has been told that when we pass on, we
become an “oversoul” ourselves, who then extends new “selves” of ourselves back into
the earth-plane., those selves being born with our karma both good and bad, and through
whom we experience all the joys and miseries, success and failure, but those selves have
autonomy and free will. When they die, they extend selves of themselves, and so on. In
other words, making us the oversoul’s oversoul, if you will, continuing to experience
through the projected personality until all karma is worked off.
Now if this is true in some way, shape or form, this would explain the importance
of keeping people in this planet safe and in as great numbers as possible so that we and
you in the Spirit-Physical, as current and eventual oversouls, will have a great many
opportunities to complete this karmic cycle. And it also would explain why personalities
are not reborn, and also how, at the level of oversoul, personality, or individuality is
retained and continues to learn and experience. First of all, is this all or part true? (He
uses the word “oversoul” as we use the word “ego”.) That answers my question.
Thank you. (We have not yet discussed the Realm of Ego with you.)

Owen: We had a discussion of a “psychosome” as a thought-form produced by
the angels to carry out a specific assignment. I had wondered two things: One, under
what conditions do angels intervene? The hijacking was a sufficient condition,
apparently. But are there guidelines that you could mention where one might expect
intervention as differentiated from situations in which we’ve gotten ourselves into and
will have to get ourselves out of without any help? And also, how long does a
psychosome last and what is its ultimate fate? (The life of a psychosome varies in
accordance with its original intent. Whatever the Order intends for that psychosome
to accomplish. Or, if it is not accomplishing, if something goes wrong with its
functioning, it can be recalled. So, in terms of your time, it is not possible to answer
that question. As for angelic intervention in mundane affairs, that question will be
answered as we teach you about the Orders themselves, which has begun with the
discussion of the Seraphim and the Cherubim.)

Sidney: Christ is called the “light of the world”. Does this mean that the Christ
Consciousness is the degree of enlightenment of the mass-consciousness of the world’s
population as it exists at any point in time on a scale of zero to 100%? (Yes, if you
understand that the masses have not nearly arrived at that point at this time. The
Christ Consciousness represents the degree of attainment possible to individuals,
given total evolutionary condition of humanness now. So it can be gradient (levels)
as the evolution of all human occupants of this planet goes forward and
consciousness over-all rises. Then the elevation of consciousness which one
individual could attain would be higher.)
Is there any significance to the fact that when inverted, the Sinai Peninsula from
the south area to its tip creates a pyramid shape with water on both ascending sides of the
pyramid or triangle, and the fact that Mt. Sinai is near the tip of that pyramid. Does that
have significance? (Yes, as all configurations of the planet have significance. But
unless we were in the process of instructing you about the planet’s life and
evolutionary condition, it would not be possible to give you a coherent answer to
that question.)
Inasmuch as one of our functions is to ameliorate the impending destruction and
make it as small a holocaust as possible, might not some of the information be helpful to
us? (No, it would not. It is concerned (very slowly) with what could be said to be
powers beyond your control. That information would have to do with the karma of
the planet, itself, which is a much too great a study to be of assistance to you at this
point in time.)
I understand grace can intercept karma and perhaps soften its impact by what we
do in this group to participate in the salvation of the planet. Is that then drawing grace to
counteract that karma somehow? (The concept of something going well “by the grace
of God” is erroneous thinking. There is no such dispensation, if you will. There must
be either the Law of Karma or the Law of Grace, and this planet is under the Law
of Karma.)

Myra: There isn’t any such thing as “grace”? (What you experience as “grace”
is earned karma.)

Sidney: In other words, what we do then is earn positive karma to counteract
earned negative karma. (Yes. Remember we have told you time and time again, there
are no coincidences. There are no accidents.)

Richard: As we sow, so shall we reap. That is the law.

Peggy: Is there a way that we can know or realize when we are experiencing
karma? (With every breath you take.)

Richard: That’s what life is: karma.

Peggy: But I was thinking of experiences. (Every experience grows out of
previous experience.) Sometimes faster than you want it. (Yes, there is instant karma,
which sometimes appears as grace.)

Richard: This has gotten to be quite a question and answer period. Was this your
intent when you opened it to questions, or are we running away with the ball game? (It is
important that you have questions answered. When the questions become inane, we
will no longer answer.) We have two of our group here this evening who have questions
regarding personal health of our group, and I was wondering if you would entertain these
questions at this time. (Inasmuch as your individual welfare is of great concern to us,
we will entertain such questions.)

Eileen: I, myself, and my family have recently made a decision in regard to my
husband, Larry, who is a former member of our group. (He is still a member of this
group.) Thank you. He has been hospitalized for five months now, and he is of the
thinking of this group that all things are possible. And we are thinking of making a
change of hospitals with a goal toward rehabilitation, a rehabilitation hospital in
Vancouver as the ultimate. We feel he can be rehabilitated. The hospital where he is feels
they have done all they can, and he feels he can be rehabilitated. (And we feel he can be
rehabilitated.) Can you tell me if this move is going to be beneficial and give him better
care and better health? (Yes. We have been working to bring this about, to assist you.)
Oh, thank you, very much. (Once you place yourselves in our care, and you ask for
our help, we do not cease to give help until you ask us to do so.)

Richard: We all thank you.
Mary: I’m curious about the physical problem I’ve been having for over a week.
I don’t seem to be getting a whole lot better fast. I think I’m just curious. Is this
something I’ve brought on myself, something I need to work through and understand?
Why am I experiencing this? (Of course, it is something you must work through. You
began a course of action some time ago. You asked if we approved. We gave our
approval, and then you decided to go a different path.) I took the wrong path is what
you’re saying? (You have a mission to accomplish. You made a commitment.
Commitments cannot be abandoned lightly.)
I have one more thing I’d like to ask. In my meditation when I went to the well,
there was a baby there, a little toddler, and it seemed to be someone who should be there.
I wonder if you could tell me a little bit about this? (The baby represents the idea to
which you gave birth and which you must now nourish to adulthood.)

Ida: I recently had surgery, and I’m hoping I’ll get my health back. Am I on
the right track? (You are doing very well.) Thank you. I’ll get getting my health back.
(The lady will come to see you soon.) Thank you.

Myra: I took Ida to her doctor last Monday and her doctor urged her to do the
chemotherapy. She was wondering, too, if it was better that she not do it.

Sheariam: It is better that she not do it. The doctor was only doing what he
knows best.
Shall we move on to our lessons then? If you will recall, we discussed the
Order of Angels called the Seraphim. We attempted to deepen your understanding
of the responsibilities of this particular order. As Keepers of the Eternal Flame, they
have the responsibility to intervene any time any intellect attempts to extinguish
what cannot be extinguished. We also spoke of the Cherubim, who are the
Guardians, the Supporters, the Enablers. The Seraphim cannot perform their
function without the help of the Cherubim. The Cherubim cannot perform their
function without the help of the Seraphim. Thus it is that we advise you always call
upon Khamael and Gabriel together at the beginning of your invocation. When you
awaken those centers of energy, you make the contact that allows these Orders of
Angels to serve you.
Now we would go to the third Order of Angels. For the sake of your study,
we would ask you if you know what that order is. (Ans: Auphonim) Very good. As
has been given, the Auphonim are represented as Wheels. To what Law do they
relate? (Ans: Ideation) And the Principle? (Ans: Migration)
Now as given when you studied migration, that had to do with moving,
moving outward, moving around, being in a certain condition or place with
timeliness. This is why the Auphonim are called “Wheels”.
At the center of a wheel is that point of calm which does not move. As you
move towards the rim of a wheel, the speed increases, force increases. Thus, this also
has to do with building. Within the Auphonim lies the secret of the building of the
pyramids. Those master craftsmen who built the pyramids understood the secret of
the Wheels, those vortices of energy which move from a static point ever outward.
As you call upon the archangel, you open that center within yourself that
allows the vortex of energy, which you are, to move outward like a whirlwind.
Understanding only comes as a result of being able to come back to the same place
as in repeating an experience from a higher level of comprehension. The Auphonim
govern the cycles of your life that move you onward, outward, and upward. Do you
truly understand or grasp the connection between the Auphonim and the Law of
Ideation?
In your moments of silence, stillness, meditation is when you are most
receptive to ideas. That is when you grasp most firmly the idea of yourself. Your life
is like the wheel. You move outward from the center of yourself in ever-expanding
and ascending circles. These are the cycles of your life. All of your life you continue
to repeat experience after experience, each time from a different level of
comprehension until you come to understand by being in the outer rim of the wheel
and looking back to the center why you do the things you do and how you can
change them to accomplish your more desired goal. When you invoke Ratziel, you
are opening that center that enables you to grasp ideas, to accept new ideas, and you
then set in motion that connection that enables the Order of the Auphonim to come
to you to assist you in the cycles of your life.(Ed: The Auphonim are like insights.)
When you are trying to accomplish a goal, and things do not come together
for you, you can be sure that you have run amuck. When you work upon an idea,
when you are making your plans, when you are choosing your itinerary, invoke
Ratziel. Allow the Auphonim to serve you. This is true whether you are choosing a
vacation trip, a career change, a health treatment mode, or an encounter with
another individual. In all actions of your life, the Auphonim help you plan ahead,
and you best plan ahead by looking backward and within.
As was discussed before our session began, there is need for improvement of
memory. Invoke Ratziel. Invite the Auphonim to help you look to the past, to help
you find those previous experiences which will serve you in the present, and for a
foundation for a successful future.
Let us now move on to the next Order of Angels.

Bonnie: Would that “past” be further than we can imagine? (Indeed. You are not
a product of a few short years.)

Eileen: Could Ratziel also be the one to refer to in memorizing material such as
we are asked to do, such as the sounds and the different Attributes, etc.? (In committing
to memory, you should call upon Michael as you wish to become the channel. You
wish to become the container of this information.)

Myra: In order to understand what you are trying to memorize, would it also be
helpful to ask Sandalphon? (Yes. Remember that the archangels are centers within
yourself. The order in which they were given to you is an unfoldment. It is
progressive. One does not have more power than the other, but they need to be
functional in the order in which they were given.)

LaMar: A long time ago in this class I asked about when I went into meditation for
many years, I had the feeling of going down and then that vast spreading out. And I asked
Silverthistle about that. I suspected at that time I didn’t have the knowledge to have
understood his answer. I think now that is what I was talking about, what you were just
describing. Is this correct? (Yes.)

Peggy: I’m having a problem getting into meditation to where you can get into
deep meditation. I’m having trouble with that. (Recall what has been given about
meditation. There are many different modes of meditation. There are many
different purposes for meditation. Do not become confused by the teachings of the
East. You are westerners. You are karmically in this civilization because you need to
be thinkers. You need more to contemplate than to seek the mindless meditation of
the East.) Would anyone of the archangels be better to call on. Would this help? (Each
archangel has specific focus. It depends upon what your purpose of meditation is,
which one you would invoke. I suggest that you re-study the directions given when
taught about the archangels. As we proceed with the Orders of Angels, perhaps
some clarity of understanding will arise.)

Bonnie: Do the Orders of Angels actually exist, or are they also aspects of
ourselves? (The Archangels as aspects of yourself, exist. But if you are asking, do
they have form, review the Realm of Spirit in which we began to speak of the angels.
This has been given.)

Myra: So the beings in the Realm of Spirit are where the angels are? (Angels are
beings in the Realm of Spirit, yes. That is why there is the need for psychosomes.
The angels do not in and of themselves descend to the sphere of the mundane. They
send the psychosomes. When you are visited by a being of light, that is a
psychosome.)

Owen: Along that line, many people feel they have been visited by Jesus or by an
angel. Is that always a psychosome? (With the exception that certain visitations from
the “astral realm” can take on the form other than what it is. The “astral realm” is
in the physical, and it will be discussed under the Realm of Self.) (Some murmured
discussion.)

Sheariam: Yes. Let us move on to at least one more Order of Angels before we
close this night. What is the next Order of Angels? (Ans: Malachim.) Correct. And
they are known as… (Ans: Kings. The Law of Process. The Archangel Raphael) Now
the secret that lies behind the word “king” or “kings” is that of limitation. As the
Auphonim assist you to grow outward and inward, there must be some restraint
experienced, because you do not have self-mastery, and you would fly off in all
directions. So, the Auphonim need the Malachim. Without the action of the
Auphonim, the Malachim would have nothing to do.
“King” in your language represents the organized head of a certain
dominion, a certain environmental space which you call “kingdom”. Thus, the
function of the Malachim is to allow you to be separate from your neighbor. What is
the Law? (Ans: Process.) And what does that result in? (Ans: Differentiation.)
Correct. That is that you, each of you, are totally unique. You are formed upon a
pattern which is similar, but in the manifestation, you are completely unique. This is
the job of the Malachim, to keep the expansion, aided by the Auphonim, within the
bounds allotted to you under the Law of Process.
One of the things that we have taught adamantly is the limits of your
responsibility when it comes to helping. You must first be asked. You must not
consciously invade another person’s prerogative. You are violating the Law of
Process and the Attribute Differentiation and setting upon yourself the obligation to
work your way back to that purity before your contact. As you move into another
person’s prerogatives unasked, you pollute that prerogative and your own. You set
up what you call negative karma. If you are invited, then you may enter.)

Maxine: May I ask a question at this time? It seems to me that the “church” taught
us to help others. (And that you should, under the right circumstances. You must
first understand your own limitations of judgment, expertise, capability, and ability.
You must not refuse aid when requested, unless you know that you cannot render
such aid. Then you have the responsibility to assist in finding the aid from some
other source for which you were asked.
Now, how does one know when one is being asked. Obviously, if an
individual, through his own poor judgment, arrives at circumstances where he is
incapacitated, to move himself from where he is to contact with someone upon
whom he can call, it is perfectly logical that you would place yourself in his vicinity
making yourself available. As for instance, in an automobile accident where a
person may be unable to extricate himself from the vehicle, you should make your
presence available and offer your aid. But you must not lay hands upon that body or
that vehicle until you are absolutely certain that you have the expertise required to
resolve the situation. If the individual is aware, awake, and able to express his
desires, you offer your help, but you do not give it until it is asked for.
Thus it is that you must not make judgments about another person’s health,
for instance. What may seem obvious to you is not important. You cannot
legitimately render aid unless your aid is apt. You have the right to offer, but not
insist. Your offer must consist of making yourself available, not invadingly
persuasive.)

Eileen: I have two questions regarding this. Am I perhaps holding Larry back by
making decisions for him, feeling that he is incapacitated where he cannot communicate
with me? (First of all, do all you can to discover his thinking on the matter before
you make a decision for him. However, he asked you to perform those functions for
him when he asked you to share his life, as you did the same by accepting his
invitation.) Yes, he has indicated he wants to be out of there which would mean to be
well.
Another question along this line – very often people will come to a person and tell
them their troubles. It seems to be sort of cathartic for them to unload their troubles, and I
have a bad habit of giving advice, especially if it’s a younger person. Would it be better
for me to say “Do you want to know how I feel about this?” or “Do you want my
advice”? before just giving it? (You have grasped my meaning.) Thank you.

Sidney: If someone requests material goods that you know will be used for the
purpose of self-destruction of that person, are we to not make that judgment and give
them whatever they ask for regardless? (No. You are not render aid in a destructive
effort. That is not “help”.) The second question has to do with children. Are we to give
them whatever they ask for also? (When I suggested that you must render help when
asked, I also added that you must know that you are the best source with the
greatest expertise to render the aid requested. That does not mean you give
everyone everything they ask for. If you invoke the Archangel Raphael, you allow
the Malachim to place the limitations, to protect you from invading another’s
prerogative.) Do you mean by prerogative, free choice, free will.? (Yes. And as in your
current terminology, “space”.)

LaMar: You have answered a question, a problem, I have pondered over for about
ten years. There was a story going about at the time about Dr. Decker, who was in the
Philippines studying with Tony Appowa. Tony and Dr. Decker came upon an accident
and someone was lying in the road. Dr. Decker, after a few seconds, turned to Tony and
said, “Aren’t you going to help him?” He was astonished at Tony Appowa, with all his
marvelous power, standing there doing nothing, And Tony’s answer was, “He hasn’t
asked me.”
And this always seemed so rather cruel, the person having been in this accident,
lying there in the road, and yet nothing was being done because he hadn’t asked. (You
must remember, the individual finds himself in these circumstances due to his own
karma, due to his own choices and judgment. Thus it is the entity knows best when
to ask and when not to ask.)
Myra: Today I was extremely busy – very, very busy. And there was a young
man called at home whom we haven’t met, and he had requested that either Nestor or I
take some time and go have coffee so he could talk to one of us. He has a very severe
problem. I talked with him on the telephone for a long time, but I didn’t feel I should take
time to go and talk to him. When he said that, I felt, “Gosh, I should have dropped
everything and gone.” He’s suicidal. I don’t know what his telephone number is. I don’t
know how to call him back. But I wondered, when you’re really busy and somebody
asks you for help, is that the signal that you stop and help?
(That must be part of your consideration as to whether you are the best
resource. There were other avenues of help that you could have arranged for.) Yes. I
did suggest that he see someone else, and I told him how to find her.
(Then you fulfilled your responsibility. Again, you must look to your limit of
responsibility. Your first responsibility is to yourself and to your own growth and
function. Were you to refuse aid for superficial reasons, this would be negative to
you. This is where the Malachim serve you. It moves you to restraint, to stay within
your own prerogatives, to fulfill your own priorities. Were you not served by the
Malachim, the Auphonim would have you running hither and yon. You cannot be
an adequate resource for those to whom you are committed if you allow everyone to
drag at your energy. You may be a focal point for others to call upon, but it
behooves you to marshal resources of alternatives.
Commitment must not be entered lightly. When you marry, when you have
children, you make a primary commitment to them over others. Remembering that
you first commitment is to yourself, you come before spouse and children. If you use
up all of your resources on their behalf, you do them a disservice. Call upon
Raphael. Allow the Malachim to show you when it is time to stop. Call upon Ratziel.
Allow the Auphonim to tell you when it is time to go. Ask the two to work together
that you perform your tasks most efficiently most successfully, and most joyfully.)

Myra: I have another question. I noticed on our chart here that Sadie is the
feminine aspect of Ratziel, and that Sadie represents the “calm at the center” of the
wheel. Is there a time that we would need to call on Sadie? (pronounced s-ahh-dee-aaay)
(When you need to be calm at the center. But you would invoke the archangel. You
may welcome the angels, but you invoke the archangels. Invocation is calling upon
the archangel to dispatch the appropriate service for you.) You wouldn’t call upon
Sadie. That’s not an archangel. (She is not. You do not command the angels.) Oh,
that’s an angel, not an archangel. Well, I wrote down that Sadie was the feminine aspect
of Ratziel. Is that Incorrect? (That is my error. You are correct. Sadie is the feminine
of the archangel, yes.) OK. My question is, when you’re feeling frantic and upset at the
center and you need calmness at the center, then you would call upon Sadie? (Yes. You
can invoke the archangel.)

Richard: So then Ratziel is the active aspect, and Sadie is the passive. (Correct.)

Sidney: They would all be part of the same order then? (Yes.)

Richard: Along the same lines, will we be getting into the passive or the opposite
aspect of each archangel? (Yes.)

Sidney: But each archangel is still the same energy source, if you will. It’s just a
different aspect of the same? (As the archangels are centers within you, the passive is
at the center of the center. You might consider the archangel being similar to the
vortices of energy you call chakras, although they are energy systems rather than an
actual vortex. It is difficult to explain to you because you do not have the words in
your language to describe these ephemeral things.) So if you think of a vortex of
energy being more like a hurricane, then the feminine aspect... (A cone perhaps.)

Myra: They wouldn’t be located in any particular part of our body? (No.)

Sheariam: Shall we move to our closing meditation then? Relax your bodies.
Breathe deeply to relax your abdomen. In keeping with the lesson, visualize at the
pit of your stomach a cone-shaped structure of energy which moves outward from
you in concentric circles, expanding energy moving out from your center like a
small whirlwind.
As you feel this tug in your solar-plexus, become familiar with that tug. It is
one of the signals the Auphonim uses to express their presence. Now as that energy
moves outward from you, and the tug becomes stronger, you begin to understand
the necessity for the Malachim which apply their energy from the other direction,
going the other way, so there is a balance, even as you are familiar with the
Opposing Forces and their action upon each other.
Now as this whirling vortex of energy emits from your body, visualize at its
very center point a deep, deep purple like a tiny flame. Then allow that purple to
spread out along the rings of your energy vortex, becoming lighter and lighter as it
becomes more distended, until by the time it reaches the center of the room it is
nearly purely white.
As this energy moves to the midst, joining with the energies of others, it
forms a structure of pure white energy. And the Malachim provide the
environmental restraint to hold this energy within the circle. As that accumulation
of clear white energy becomes sufficient, you will feel the tug at your center
diminish until there is just a very calm, peaceful glow in your midriff.
Now allow that glow to permeate your entire body. Just let it spread. As it
moves through your body, it feels cool, comforting, and uplifting. As it spreads, you
feel your body becoming more balanced in all its parts. Feel the calmness in your
heart area. In this calm, you can express peaceful concern by calling the names of
those about whom you have concern. You can invite their consciousnesses to join
you by walking into the white energy. (Names spoken softly.)
Now, as you call your loved ones, you can also partake of this white energy
yourselves if there is within you any place in your body or your mind or your heart
which does not seem to be at peace. This white energy is like water. You can put
your feet into it, or your hands, or your whole body. You may drink of it. Treat it as
you would water, healing water.
Now, visualize that purple flame receding into your innermost parts where it
shall continue to burn as you go about your daily affairs. You can call it forth at any
time you wish. If you choose to do so at home alone outside of this group, be sure to
call upon the archangels before you begin the exercise.
Now folding within yourself the healing which you have appropriated, bless
those who have come to share with you, and allow them to retreat to themselves. As
this energy is like water, allow it to flow along the surface of your planet like an
invisible cleansing flood, bringing cleansing power to all on earth that it touches.
But inasmuch as it is the white energy, it will do no harm as that much water would
do. Those whom it touches may partake of it as they will, or let it go on by. The
Auphonim and the Malachim will take care of its distribution, its availability.
You have served your fellow man by providing the physical aspect with
which the angels may work. And now in a moment of silence, give thanks to the
angels, to your teachers, your guides, your ministers. And bless yourselves as you go
in peace.
And now I extend to you my thanks, and bid you be well until we meet again.
Closed with “Let there be peace on earth.”
