Session #57 – August 17, 1985 Gloria’s Circle
Present: Myra Perala, Peggy Muldoon, Eileen, Horton, Ida Nevala, Sidney Smither, Bonnie Wisz, LaMar and RetaMae Bell, Owen and Maxine Cramer
(Potluck dinner and discussion period preceded the circle. Group decided to do the invocation prior to the discussion period, and the meditation immediately before the opening song.)
Sheariam: Good evening students and friends. Thank you very much. Have you done your exercise? Let us work then on the reports.
LaMar: I found that I received a tremendous amount of energy coming through my body immediately when I visualized that garnet in my third eye. First time I did it, the monk was there, very, very excited and happy, probably happy that I was back. I’m sure some teaching took place there, but I don’t know what he taught me. (Your garnet is a link with the past. As you continue with the gemstone in your third eye, you will recall certain teachings from your past which you have used before, and which you can put to use in this lifetime, particularly as an agent of aid to those who need your human help.) This is wonderful to know. Thank you. (Continue the exercise, and as the monk teaches, the knowledge which he causes you to recall will become manifest in your daily life, and you will recognize it after the fact.)
RetaMae: I used my diamond in the third eye, and it was just an instant of golden light as I get in so many instances. I had laid down to take a nap, because I was quite tired from working hard, and I was energized. I got right up and started working. Then each time when I would do this, it was just like I was filled with a shot of electricity. I did hear voices and people, but I didn’t zero in on anyone in particular. It was just like “Just wait a while” type of thing, and to continue to do this. I get my golden light every time. My whole body just radiates,. (As you continue this exercise, that light which you radiate is a physical manifestation which is perceived subliminally by those around you. To others it is healing. To you it is energizing. As you continue to work with your stone, voices will become clearer. The messages carry import for you, and you will soon understand.)
Maxine: When I held my ruby to my third eye, what came to me was love and harmony, and that was it. (Yes. You need more harmony in your environment. And remember, environment is not all external to the self. There is an internal environment which must find its point of equilibrium. This is the main ego lesson which you have chosen to learn in this lifetime: to be at peace with yourself and in harmony with your surroundings. Continue to work with your ruby for it enables you to be more conscious of hidden motivations in others and thus less judgmental.) Could this be one of the reasons that I had this hip accident? Is it because I’m out of harmony at some place? (That is a physical evidence of that very thing. Your most recent pain has also been an example of being out of alignment.) I need to understand again how I can personally become aware of what it is. I do this by holding the ruby to my third eye, and that will help me to understand myself and my problems? (You contemplate harmony. As you work physically to keep your body aligned, you will also then work psychically to achieve harmony and alignment with your environment, both inwardly and outwardly.)
Peggy: When I see in the gemstone, there is a diamond and there is a kind of blue stone. It was a kind of cluster, drawn out. I don’t have to work to see it, because I have it here in what they call the third eye. I can see it almost any time I want to because it is there. But I have the feeling of trust and knowing that everything is going to be OK. The blue stone, I don’t know exactly. I’ve seen it once over at the demonstration, but I forgot to get the name of it. It’s a bluish green, a beautiful stone. (You must work with this energy to be at peace within yourself, to be not anxious, to be not worried, to not align yourself with the discordant energies that you often find around you.) But I’ve gotten to where I don’t have this worry as much as I did, so I feel like I have progressed a little. (Yes, you are coming along. Continue your contemplation.)
Sidney: The first meditation I had after our last meeting, I remembered in the middle of the meditation that we were supposed to be using our gemstone, so I incorporated that into what I was doing. I was at my well, and there were white dots circulating around my well counterclockwise. I looked in the well, and as I did, a beautiful woman’s face with long windswept, flowing hair looked back at me. The image emerged from the pool of water and merged with me. As I dipped water into a ladle, a dark-haired woman’s image occurred in the ladle. A man with a long white beard was suddenly by the well. He had on a long white robe. His name seemed to be something like Socrates. In our communication, he said his purpose was to lead and teach me. He said I am to go to the depths of the universe. Then some distance away I saw an ornate Greek-type cross with something shining in the middle of it, and that reminded me to use my diamond which I saw immediately in my right hand. I moved effortlessly through the air towards the cross, and a figure appeared on the cross. I merged with that figure. The diamond in my right hand became a diamond in our communal left hand. I felt no pain or sense of entrapment, but I was one with that figure. Then I created a diamond in our other hand, and as soon as I did, we broke the constraints of the cross and rose above it. I surveyed my well below. A rainbow appeared connecting the well to the ground. I found myself leaving, but being drawn back towards the well many times before ending the meditation.
Sheariam: This is a contemplative meditation upon your purpose and the many reincarnations involved here. The first feminine face which rose from the water represents or is actually that feminine side of yourself which you keep buried in your emotions. In this life, that feminine side must become more externalized. You are manifesting it, but you need to externalize it more, make it more of your daily personality. In this regard, your Wise One will help you to gain the wisdom in appropriate ways. The dark-haired face which you witnessed is yourself in another incarnation, a sister-self, if you will. As you rose to the cross, you chose a Greek cross to remind yourself of a life as a philosopher in ancient Greece. The diamond is representative of that purity which has evolved through the many incarnations, through the result of the wisdom gained. As you use the diamond, and you hold in your consciousness the evolutionary process which brings about the diamond gem, this is a metaphor for the evolving individuality which you are now attempting to perfect. Continue your meditations using your gems, for you will gain much enlightenment as you bring forward the wisdom which you have gained in ancient times, and which you must put to use in this lifetime. Remember the hardness which is represented in the diamond. You will be required to be hard as the diamond, not hard in the way of meanness, but hard in the way of steadfastness, as the rock which Peter represents in the New Testament. Many in this lifetime will find you as their rock. This may not be temperamentally suitable to your rational consciousness, but it is the challenge of this lifetime. Owen: I am not having any more success with my meditation, I’m afraid, than in the past. I’ve tried to meditate with my gemstone, but I had difficulty in keeping from dozing off. I keep trying, but I’m not doing very well. (Your physical make up in this lifetime is such that you find it difficult to relax, and over the period of years, you have programmed yourself to go to sleep when relaxing. It is now that you must work towards the relaxation of the body and freeing the mind without going to sleep. Allow your mind to wander. Practice relaxation. Do not be dismayed that the mind seems to be unruly. When you truly learn to relax without going to sleep, then you can begin the mental discipline required for true contemplation. Eileen: Some time ago I visualized an unpolished sort of gem. It had a bluish cast, but the outer part was gray and like clay deposit. I only saw it once, and I’ve tried so many times since to recreate that. I figured that perhaps that was a wrong impression. I don’t know if this is a very reliable source, but I used the pendulum to find out what my gemstone was, and it came up with emerald. I tried to visualize the emerald, which I had no trouble doing. Placing it over my third eye, I saw faces, but then it just all ended. My question is: I’m wondering if emerald really is my gemstone, or if this was a reliable way to key into which gemstone I should be using. (This is not your natural gemstone. At the time you used the pendulum, it was the stone suggested by your own mind which would allow you to have reincarnational recall. If you pursue that line, in one of your lives you will find that gemstone with which you should be working with now.)
Ida: I never was able to find a gemstone. Usually when I get to bed, I go to sleep. (You, too, need also to learn to relax the body and allow the mind to ponder what it knows.) I’m going to do the other: my well. I covered it up for a long time. Here in meditation, I was on the same path, but not to the well. I saw a pump in it this time, but I didn’t get to it. (Keep working.)
Bonnie: I took my red crystal and I made a request. I requested how to correct my vision. I was told to drink the purest water, one large glass in the morning and one in the evening with lemon or lime in it, and that would purify, cleanse my body out. That eventually I would get just little flashes of clear sight and that they would become more often and closer together until my vision was clear. (I doubt I could add much to your understanding.)
Owen: With reference to pure water, would that be distilled water, or tap water through a filter system or pyramid water, or how can that be achieved? (Distilled water which has been treated by the pyramid is the most pure.)
LaMar: It has been said that drinking distilled water in which the minerals etc. have been removed is not good for the body. Is this correct or not? (It is important that the body receive sufficient mineral. If one does not eat vegetables grown properly, then one needs more mineral which is attained through the water. But you also now have the technology to give yourselves mineral in other forms to supplement your diet.)
RetaMae: I’d like to ask about a dream I had. There was a group of us with some children going up and we’d gone up to ski, and we’re having fun on the bus. We came back down to the valley floor, and it was rather dry. As we got out of the bus, the kids and everybody else disbanded. I was walking around, and I saw a snake. I started to turn and run from it because I have such a fear of snakes. I realized that it was a rattler. I also realized that I had to stop running from snakes. I stopped and turned around and looked at it, and it had turned to a smaller snake. It was still a rattler. It had turquoise on the back, and it was alive. Now I know there is some significance to me because in my dream it was very definite that I should ask about this. Can you explain?
Sheariam: Your mind was speaking of the inspiration and the reality of the experience you have when you go up the mountain in your meditation. As you come back into daily consciousness, you are then threatened by the requirement to be creative. One of the challenges of this lifetime is to utilize creative energy in such a way that you awaken the consciousness of past tradition in others. This is the meaning of the turquoise on the snake. The fact that the snake was smaller the second time means that you are incorporating this effort in your lifetime and using that creativity. Shall we then move on to our lessons? As you know, we have been giving you some knowledge of the Orders of Angels as being part of the Realm of Spirit before we move on to the Realms of Mind, Soul, etc. There are remaining three Orders of Angels to be discussed. The Arilim relate to what Law? (Ans: Illusion.) And what archangel? (Ans: Tzaphkiel.) Which means? (Ans: To dream, aspirations, fantasies.) Now you know that it is in your dream life that you work upon the realities of real life, not merely upon this single apparent manifestation. What is the meaning of the Arilim? (Ans: The Thrones.) Correct. This is a seat of authority. Recognize in your dreams authority is speaking to you, your own authority, that creator which has created what you call yourself. As you invoke the archangel, your dreams will bring to you more and more information as the Arilim reveal to you the authority within, which you exercise moment by moment or abdicate the responsibility therefor. The feminine or passive aspect of this archangel is “Tzipporah”, which name means “free thought”, that thought which is not repressed by attitudes, habit patterns, karma, or anything else, but comes from that true authority of yourself. This is the voice which you most often fail to hear. As you fail to hear, you live in illusion. If you would raise the veil of illusion, you would invoke the archangel. And in dreams, both sleeping and awakening, the truth is revealed. But the truth or the meaning may not be understood if you are not willing to understand. Remember, under Sandalphon you must be willing to change. Authority is always there, but if you do not give it the opportunity to work for you, the Arilim cannot help you. Now the next Order of Angels is the “Ben Elohim”, which means? (Ans: Sons of God, Judges.) Correct. And what is the Law? (Ans: Dominance.) And the Archangel? (Ans: Michael.)Now you know you have been told that Michael represents the channeling of Life, the channeling of power through you, through your lives. The Sons of God are the propagators of Life. They are the Judges of Life. They are the intercessors, the mediators. They are the vindicators. Thus it is, when you become involved in circumstances wherein you seem to have some of your rightful property appropriated by another, rather than seeking vengeance or retaliation you should invoke Michael. Allow the experience to flow through you, and allow the Ben Elohim to exact the penance from the wrongdoer. Thus you are taught in your bible, “Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord.” It is not for you in your minute view to decide what penance should be exacted. You should let experience pass through. The feminine, or passive, aspect of this archangel is “Rechobeth”, which in literal translation means “soft house”. As you channel Life, there is a certain amount of absorption; there is a certain amount that is retained for a period of time. But you cannot erect a permanent dam. As experience passes through, you retain certain memories which then enable you to deal with other circumstances which may be similar. As you invoke Michael, you enable the Ben Elohim to intercede for you, to exact that penance for you, to pass the judgment for you, and to bless you, to allow you, to enable you to appropriate that which is rightfully yours. Thus, you take charge. You dominate your own life. You do not live in anger and retaliation thus controlled by another. And finally we come to the “Elohim”. What does “Elohim” mean? (Ans: Gods.) Under what Law? (Ans: Relinquishment.) And the Archangel? (Ans: Haniel.) Which means? (Ans: Abundance.) This is the Order of Angels which support you. As you allow Life to move through you, and you do not dam it up, you do not try to accumulate more than your rightful share, you invoke Haniel and the Elohim assist you in those creative activities which continually produce abundance for you. But you must relinquish it. You cannot hold on to it. As you dam up the Life that passes through you, you then cannot have the abundance of Haniel. Maxine: What if you feel that you have accumulated too much and you want to get rid of it? (Pass it on. If one accumulates a great deal of material property and feels the need to dispense or disperse it, but feels one must receive the going market price, you are still retaining that materiality. You must bless it and let it go. As you allow life to fly through you, as you relinquish, more pours in.) Peggy: Sheariam, what is your meaning of “letting Life pass through you? (There are those who greedily and selfishly hoard their experience, hoard what they know, hoard what they have. One should share everything. If you know something and someone asks you and it is appropriate to do so, you tell them. You do not withhold knowledge as a means to dominate.)
Owen: You mentioned, “share when asked”. Here again, the principle of “when asked” applies. (But you should make yourself available. It’s perfectly all right to offer.)
Myra: I was thinking about the material that you have given to us and wondering how I would go about bringing it to the consciousness of others. As I think about my faculty at school, I think it would just blow their minds if I told them what I know. (But they are not presenting themselves to you as disciples or seekers of this sort of knowledge.) But maybe if they knew I had this information, they might. (This is your responsibility to make yourself available. Make what you know available. That does not mean evangelical effort. You are not to proselytize.) And that applies for everyone, too. There are so many of us feeling we are reluctant to tell others because we’ve been… Well, I did say to a fellow teacher what I was doing in this group and he said, “Oh, that’s spooky!” So I said, “OK, I won’t tell you about it.” (Your response should have been “It is enlightening. I am learning.” (I think that you’re right. We sometimes hide what we know because we are afraid of others’ responses.) (There is always a way in which your knowledge can be revealed without alarming a listener. When you alarm a listener, you are working under the Law of Dominance in a negative manner. As you live your lives in accordance with the principles which we teach, the witness of your life will bring to you those with whom you must share.)
Bonnie: What did you say about “witness”? (Your life is a witness of what you are.)
Myra: Like RetaMae’s glowing light around her is her witness. (Yes. If you are living your life in balance with all nine laws, the radiance of love and harmony and beauty and health and prosperity become evident. You do not need to declare it from the housetops. When an acquaintance sees this radiant quality of your life, they will be stimulated to seek that for themselves when you make it available in whatever way is most suitable.)
Bonnie: In other words, you do not have to tell anybody where you got the information from, but there is a way of sharing the things that we are learning. (That is correct. One can say merely, “I believe”.)
Myra: But every so often, two or three times a week, I will find these things that you have told us in other places. So many references to things that we’ve talked about are popping up at me. (Why would we do otherwise? We are not proposing that you become an elitist group. We are not seeking to build an empire. We are seeking to enlarge the human experience.)
LaMar: Also, I’ve found that if we let this information be known, the people who are ready to accept where it comes from will let that be known to us. (That is correct.) We soon find out who we can talk to and who we cannot so far as where the information is coming from.)
Sheariam: Now the feminine or passive side of Haniel is “Hephzibah” which means “delighted acceptance”. If you receive something which appears to be less than you expected, or less than you think would do the job, remember Hephzibah. Be delighted with all you receive, for delight is magnetic. The feminine aspect is magnetic. And what is magnetism to you? It is the draw-er; it is that which draws to you. The mode of thinking in your tradition is that if you are satisfied with something that is less, then you will get more. The point is not that you are satisfied, but that you are delighted. You may remain expectant, hopeful, and desirous of something more, but be delighted with what you have. That is prosperity.
Peggy: Is this what you’re saying: be delighted with what your surroundings are now? (With everything you have, no matter how little. It may serve the purpose as you see the purpose.) In other words be grateful. (Beyond grateful. Be delighted. You know that often you say “thank you”, always holding in the back of your mind a reservation. Do not be reserved, be delighted, knowing that the source from which abundance has come has much more abundance in store.) Bonnie: I’m delighted in this message. (And we are delighted with you. This is the lesson for tonight. We would be pleased to entertain questions on the Orders of Angels or anything else as given in these lessons.)
Owen: I’m not clear whether we should upon occasion call upon the feminine aspects of the archangels. Or do we automatically include that aspect when we call upon the archangel? (That aspect is automatically activated to a certain degree. We have given these passive aspects in response to your query. Originally, we gave the active aspects with one exception since we have a goal in mind, and we wanted you to work with the active as an effective measure towards rescuing your planet as well as enlarging your personal lives.)
Myra: Several times you’ve mentioned polar energies. Would this be an aspect of that? (This is a polar energy. Yes, you have the passive, the active, the masculine, the feminine. There are also what might be called the negative aspects of passive and active. But we choose not to deliver that to you at this time.) In looking at the second law where we have the two Principles of Radiant Energy and Truth, are those the two sides of a coin, so to speak, which would include the dualities of our lives? (Yes.) And everything has two aspects, like poetically I’ve read and heard talk in descriptions of St. Sophia, Wisdom, that she’s referred to as the Virgin and the Whore at the same time. (Yes. That’s the positive and the negative of the feminine passive.) That’s something I’m beginning to see a little bit, a glimmer of understanding. (This is why we gave you Sandalphon instead of Mefathiel. The power of the active used erroneously is too destructive to be handled by mankind at large at this time.)
Eileen: I have a question about the temple. In some earlier material, when Silverthistle was communicating with Gloria, he stated that he was guardian of the gate, a protector against the wrong people coming through to use this instrument. It made me think about the temple where apparently there is no need to guard the gate. My question is: are those entities who communicate with us confined to the temple at all times and are there other outside entities who are allowed in the temple?
Sheariam:You have something of a misconception insofar as the temple. You might regard the temple similarly to Catholicism. You recognize that when you say “catholic”, there are many different subdivisions of Catholicism, but you recognize a body of knowledge and belief. It is not a structure, although it has structures. Such is the temple. Although we are not bound by denomination boundaries as is Catholicism, the temple is a body of knowledge and belief which has structures. In Silverthistle’s description of the temple, this is a manifest structure in a certain condition. When we took you on a tour of the temple, that is a manifest structure in a certain condition. But the temple as such is a body comprised of intellects, of belief systems, of a body of knowledge. Does that help you to understand? Thus it is that, yes, we live in the temple all the time, as a Catholic is a Catholic all the time. Others are welcome in the temple. All they have to do is familiarize themselves with the knowledge and put it to work in their own lives, even without belief, for belief comes to you as you use something and see its results. Now, insofar as Silverthistle being guardian of the gate, this was a means by which the channel was protected from alien invasion from the astral realm or other physical realms by those who are not of the temple, but who are representative of those destructive forces which are influencing a great number of people on your planet. As this circle became more a body of the many in one, you became the gate keepers. It would now be nearly impossible for an alien visitor, unapproved by the temple, to use this channel, so long as the channeling is done in this circle. This is why we have given express instructions of the use and arrangement at the church when you have open sessions.
LaMar: We are told at the beginning that we had been members of the Temple of Initiation, or we are members. I am assuming from what you said this evening that we were members of the Temple of Initiation by virtue of the fact that we had learned this material and at one time had used it properly. (That is correct.)
Owen: You were speaking of our open meeting. Is there any advice or suggestions that need to be made for our next open meeting two weeks from tonight? (Only that you follow the instructions previously given.) Peggy: When we speak of the temple, I’ve always envisioned sort of a pyramid. (That is one of the structures of the temple. But it is not the sole structure.)
Myra: I have heard in the last month of two other channels, a person who channels an Ethiopian named Jubal. Are you familiar with him? (Yes.) He is interested in promoting world peace, and he’s going around the United States and internationally, having group meetings of Jubal coming through this man. And then there is a person who channels a person called Hilarion. Do you know anything about him? (Yes.) Could you tell us anything about it? Is it similar? Is it coming from the temple, these two individuals?
Sheariam: These two are not members of our temple. That does not mean they are wrong. There are other ways in which this body of knowledge is dispensed and used, even as the basic tenets of Catholicism are used in other denominations. However, if you listen closely to what is channeled from these, you will see the difference in the quality of the teachings. You must use your powers of discernment to determine the worthiness of that which you receive.
***Myra: I understand the Hilarion group is very, very similar to this teaching, except that they incorporate a great deal of information about UFO’s. (Yes. They are very much caught up in the physical realm. (They are saying that when the holocaust comes, there will be UFOs that will come to the earth, and they’ll take aboard the UFOs those who are in the circle and take them away until the holocaust is over and then bring them back. Is there any truth in that? (It is a pleasant prospect, is it not? How many times have you seen sects who give up all they own and stand on the mountain awaiting the second coming? Until man recognizes that he must rescue himself, it will not be accomplished.)
Maxine: I see that temples are similar to a university. (Yes.)
Eileen: I believe it was in the last session that Bonnie asked about her friend who has mediumship abilities and asked for advice. The bit of advice you gave her was to ask for a protector. Earlier in our session you stated that what we considered guardian angels were really protectors, not angels. My question is: Do we have to ask for these protectors to be with us, or are they always with us? (There are always certain protectors with you, depending upon the choices you make. If the path you choose is to be a race-car driver, there will be a race-car-driver protector. If you choose to be a medium, then you will have a psychological protector. Protection is available in whatever line of endeavor you choose. The degree of protection depends upon why you choose that particular endeavor, and your expectations from it.)
LaMar: I had interpreted that the reason Bonnie’s friend would need a protector would be to keep other entities from the astral or elsewhere from trying to come through when they shouldn’t. (That is precisely my point. If you are driving a race-car at several hundred miles per hour in contact with your earth, if there is not the right intention, then you are very apt to come to an abrupt interruption. If you have that proper intent and the right protection, you accomplish the race, in your terms, safely. If the intent of mediumship is to seek the spectacular, to seek thrills, then you will not have the psychological protector that intercepts invasion from the astral realm. If the mediumship is undertaken with the intent of service, and one invokes the higher powers, then that psychic doorway is protected from such invasion. You exercise the Law of Dominance.) Owen: You mentioned that there are other temples or similar groups in the Spirit- Physical. Is there such a group or something similar that mainly focuses on Catholicism, and another group that possibly may focus on Judaism? (That is correct.) The group that focuses on Catholicism, do they have communication of any kind with the Pope? (Of course. But you must recognize that that whole body is truly operating under the negative aspects of Michael.) Maxine: How can you tell, then, if your church that you belong to is operating under the negative or the positive? Of course, I think that mine is positive. But if I were a Catholic, I would probably think that it was positive, too. (When you accept domination by a physical authority, then you are subverting your free will, your opportunity of free choice, when you live according to the dictates of another. If you will notice, we do not dictate. We give you information. What you do with it is your responsibility.) Myra: Tonight in our study time we were discussing the Chasmalim sending psychosomes when someone called “God help me!” Is it only the Chasmalim that send psychosomes, or is it any of the Orders of Angels? (Any of the Orders of Angels may contact with your physical perception through psychosomes. It is now that the Chasmalim are most active because of the evolutionary state of mankind at this time on this planet.)
Sidney: Did you hear before the meeting Myra’s story of the girl who was drowning and said “God help me!” (Yes.) Is that an example of a psychosome? (Yes.) Ed. Note: A man appeared in the surf and pulled the girl ashore. When she turned to indicate the person who had saved her, the man had disappeared.)
Owen: I’d like to go back to organized religions. It would seem that most organized religions have a definite doctrine they proclaim. As such, then, this is a negative thing. The more rigid the doctrine, the more negative? (It’s only negative in its enactment and enforcement. In Catholicism you are threatened with terrible retaliation if you do not follow the doctrines of the church. There are other denominations who do not threaten, who do as we do: give you of their understanding, give you of their knowledge, and let the responsibility lie on the shoulders of the individual.)
Sidney: At what point did the Catholic Church change from a positive point of view to a negative point of view? (It was negative in its inception.)
LaMar: A number of years ago I left the organized church. A number of people in the church said they didn’t know why I left, but they knew that I wouldn’t be back. At the time I told my wife that I had all of the kindergarten that I was going to take. I am assuming that somewhere down deep, I had that yearning, I guess is the word, to get back to this teaching. I left the organized church and started searching. (Yes. In an organized religion you are encouraged to accept limitation, to not allow yourself to explore the reaches of your being.)
RetaMae: It was through organized religion, and a very fundamentalist group, that I started searching and seeking, so it has a very definite positive aspect for some people.
Myra: That’s what I found with High Church Episcopal. That’s where I began to seek on the inside where truth really is, and I found a great deal of joy in it.
RetaMae: That’s where I started searching and seeking and talking to people who were in position to be teachers, etc. And they couldn’t answer my questions. Then I knew there had to be… (Remember that you live under nine laws. The Law of Relinquishment does not permit you to remain slaves. It is that Law of Relinquishment that guarantees you will not be enslaved in the physical throughout eternity.)
Owen: Sheariam, would this be an appropriate time to ask for an explanation of two of the ceremonies that are used in many churches and their real significance? One is baptism and the other is communion. (As we responded to the same question before, we cannot answer those questions until we reach the lessons about your realm.)
LaMar: This is very interesting to me because for years I have known that I purposely left organized religion and set out in search. And when I found Harvey Freeman’s service, I wasn’t in there ten minutes until I knew this is what I had been looking for. Until tonight it was not really clear why I had made that decision. Down deep I knew there were reasons. I never did voice them. I never did really try outside of the fact that I knew there was something else. Again, as I put it, I had gone to kindergarten as long as I was going.
RetaMae: Yes, there is something else, Sheariam, and you have brought it to us. (You cannot resist growth.)
Peggy: Once you start on the path, you can’t go back.
Eileen: The really worthwhile religion, it seems, is that which is open-ended and experienced.
Sheariam: Michael. Let it flow. Let life and experience flow through you. That is the way of dominance, when you are in control of you; when you are not subservient to another, nor do you demand the subservience from another. Only when you enact the Law of Dominance correctly in your lives can you truly move into the mastery of Relinquishment, and enjoy the abundant life which is your rightful heritage.
Myra: Another question along that same line, you said that when we invoked archangels they should be invoked in pairs. (No, invoke archangels in triplicates. There is a misunderstanding here. Always, always invoke Khamael and Gabriel and then one of the others. The choice of the third archangel depends upon what your invocation means to accomplish. You could choose to do two triplet invocations, in which case you would invoke Khamael and Gabriel before each one of the others.) But it isn’t really necessary to follow a Ratziel triplet with a Raphael triplet, then? (No, unless you go overboard and throw yourselves out of balance.) That’s what I remembered, that Raphael was our balance keeper.
Sheariam: Are you ready then for your closing meditation? Be at ease. Relax yourselves. Release the thoughts of your mind. Release the tensions of your body. Relax the emotions. Let go your cares. For the next few moments, be highly focused. In your earlier meditation, you brought into being a wonderful field of energy. See that energy now as a sea in which you float, carefree, relaxed. Buoyant. Feel the buoyancy of the water. Unlike the water of your planet, this field of energy has no capacity to act upon your body in a negative fashion. You are safe, secure, and held lightly. Allow this sea of energy to wash through you as well as around you. Allow it to cleanse you. Allow yourselves to feel dreamily peaceful. Now, in this great solvent, allow any concern to float away, to be dissolved. Be objective. Detach yourself from the concern. Know that this universal solvent can dissolve it out of your life, and you remain dreamily peaceful, intact, relaxed and buoyant. This is one way in which you can enact the Law of Relinquishment. If you need to, use your powers of visualization to place the object in this sea, and let it float away from you, knowing it will be dissolved, never to return. Now take delight in your freedom from that concern. Take delight in your healing, in your well being, in your sense of comfort and security. Now in your knowledge that something delightful shared increases the delight, invite those of your loved ones whom you would wish to share this healing sea. (Many names softly spoken.) Be at peace, and know that those who respond to your invitation will find the same cleansing that you find. Invite them also to cast their cares away from them, into the solvent that they shall be detached and cleansed and healed. Unlike the waters of your planet, this sea of healing energy takes what is put into it, dissolving it back to primary substance. Thus there is no pollution. That primary substance is once again available for use. It is no longer imprisoned in the illnesses, the fears, the concerns of this earthly life. Now like the sunshine which evaporates the moisture from your earth, know that God-Love draws this sea of energy into the atmosphere, and like the sun burning away the clouds, you find yourselves free in the Divine Light, cleansed and whole. When this is accomplished fully in consciousness, you will experience what is called the “resurrection”. Now in your cleansed bodies, in your cleansed minds, your cleansed emotions, in your wholeness and purity, allow that sea of solvent to move through the atmosphere as clouds bringing moisture to be delivered to those areas of the planet where demand is made for it. Visualize it as a great body of cloud moving through your atmosphere and around your planet. As you move this with your thought, those consciousnesses who are ready for such cleansing will draw upon that power, even as you have in times past, though unknowingly. Now, bless your loved ones and allow them to return to themselves. Even as you bring your consciousness back to this daily realm, carry with you that sense of security and cleanliness, the relinquishment of cares to the eternal solvent. We thank the temple healers and all the helpers that gather with us who give us support and protection, and love. We delight in our experience with you. And now as I withdraw, I bid you go in peace, with my love. Goodnight.
